Crews are traditionally made up of different nationalities and Russian is second to English on board. Chris Hadfield who flew several missions and captained the International Space Station talks about how astronauts communicate and the special language they use that he dubs NASA speak. He speaks several languages and lived in Russia for twenty years. As an author he has written several novels based on his experience in Space and as a fighter pilot the latest of which is The Defector. His books The Apollo Murders are being made into a series for TV.

Today's show features our first case conference supplemental episode. We've built several cases, complete with figures, to expand upon our primary episode's discussions on debt, saving, and investing. These scenarios reflect common queries and challenges we frequently encounter from our audience. While we hope you can draw parallels to your own circumstances from these cases, it's crucial to understand that this isn't personalized advice. We aren't offering specific recommendations. However, our goal is for you to find elements in these cases that resonate and assist you in navigating your own financial journey, whether independently or with a consultant. Our first case study is one that many people will be able to relate to. We focus on a recent graduate, with a substantial amount of debt, with no investments or savings, and break down how they should go about navigating their financial wealth journey. Tuning in you'll hear a breakdown of the numbers for this case study, how to build competence and a financial plan, how your tolerance for debt will influence your financial decisions, plus a whole lot more.

In this episode, we speak to renowned Canadian figure Colonel Chris Hadfield. For those who don't know, Chris is a heavily decorated astronaut, engineer, and pilot, and has received many awards, such as the Order of Canada, the Meritorious Service Cross and the NASA Exceptional Service Medal. Colonel Hadfield became a worldwide sensation with his video of David Bowie's "Space Oddity" which was viewed by over 75 million people. He aims to make space more accessible and continues to share the wonders of outer space and science with as many people as possible. Besides his phenomenal professional background, he is also known for his music which he writes and plays on earth and in space! He is also the author of several books, namely An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, You Are Here, and a children's book, The Darkest Dark. Although Colonel Hadfield has a very different background from previous guests, his 35-year career has afforded him many lessons that apply to life, which he shares in our conversation with him. We learn the importance of goals and why reaching your goals should not define your happiness. Hear ways to overcome fear when facing uncertainty, the value of competence, and why enjoying the road to success is more important than success itself. Find out why sweating the small is essential to success, whether Colonel Hadfield suffers from imposter syndrome, and where true happiness comes from.

Referred to as “the most famous astronaut since Neil Armstrong,” Colonel Chris Hadfield became a household name as the first Canadian commander of the International Space Station. A heavily decorated astronaut, engineer, and pilot, Hadfield's many awards include the Order of Canada, the Meritorious Service Cross, and the NASA Exceptional Service Medal. Hadfield is also a bestselling author of four books, an acclaimed musician, and the host of two internationally acclaimed television series, including National Geographic's “One Strange Rock.”  The conversation kicks off with stories of Col. Hadfield's out-of-this-world music career and viral performances, including his cover of David Bowie's “Space Oddity” performed on the International Space Station.Col. Hadfield also talks about the moment he was inspired to become an astronaut as he watched the first steps being taken on the moon back in 1969 as a young boy. As a fan of science fiction and all things space, it was like watching fantasy come to life. It was that moment when he made the conscious decision at 9 years old to become an astronaut—and he's been working toward (and achieving) that goal ever since.When it comes to developing habits to achieve your dreams, Col. Hadfield believes it begins with having a few “right on the edge of crazy” goals you want to accomplish in life. You always have to have dreams or something you're trying to accomplish. If you don't know what your goal is, how do you decide what you're going to do next? Then do personal inventory of what you don't have or can't do yet in order to achieve the goals you've set. Ask yourself, “What could I do now to learn a skill that will inch me forward toward achieving my goal?”“It is a joyful thing if every single day you are shifting your life a little bit away from where you were toward [what] you really value,” said Col. Hadfield.Adam and the Colonel also discuss how to stay motivated when pursuing your dreams. He reminds us to have the maturity and pause as we enter into a new situation and to always have our long-term dreams in mind. As you're working toward your goal, find a way to make a daily living that is somewhere within that field or involving those things you find interesting. “Don't let life randomly choose for you what you're going to do. Be active in choosing your own life.” Episode Links:“Space Oddity” Cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaOC9danxNohttps://chrishadfield.ca/books/Order your copy of Start With A Win: Tools and Lessons to Create Personal and Business Success:https://www.startwithawin.com/bookConnect with Adam:https://www.startwithawin.com/https://www.facebook.com/REMAXAdamContoshttps://twitter.com/REMAXAdamContoshttps://www.instagram.com/REMAXadamcontos/ Leave us a voicemail:888-581-4430

Colonel Chris Hadfield has spent decades training as an astronaut and has logged nearly 4000 hours in space. During this time he has broken into a Space Station with a Swiss army knife, disposed of a live snake while piloting a plane, and been temporarily blinded while clinging to the exterior of an orbiting spacecraft. The secret to Col. Hadfield's success-and survival-is an unconventional philosophy he learned at NASA: prepare for the worst-and enjoy every moment of it.
