“The only easy day was yesterday.” In this episode, Nick speaks with David W. Brown, a former Navy SEAL and author. David shares his journey from being the smallest kid in school to overcoming adversity and becoming a Navy SEAL. What to listen for: Opportunities arise when you least expect them. Overcoming adversity builds character and resilience. Success is a personal definition, not a societal one. The journey of self-discovery is ongoing and essential. Facing fears reveals true strength and capability. Not quitting is important, but succeeding is the goal. Your past experiences shape your future potential. Embrace challenges as opportunities for growth. Mindset is crucial in overcoming life's obstacles. Every evolution in life will eventually end, leading to new challenges. “Quitting football taught me a big lesson in my life about quitting” Walking away from something can sometimes teach you more than sticking it out. One bad choice doesn't define you; it's how you respond that matters. The moment you realize you don't like how quitting feels, you start making different choices. Sometimes, a mistake lights a fire in you to never make it again. Feeling ashamed of quitting led to a mindset shift that made future challenges non-negotiable. “When you get an opportunity, you take it” If you hesitate too long, the moment might pass you by. Even if you don't feel ready, stepping up is how you grow. You can't always predict the outcome, but taking the leap is often worth it. You don't need to have it all figured out—just start. The right opportunity can change everything, but only if you take it. About David Brown David was always the smallest person in school, yet standing just 5'3" tall and weighing 110 pounds, he became a Navy SEAL. After earning his bachelor's degree, he went on to become an NCIS, EPA, and Department of Interior special agent. Even though he was picked on and bullied in elementary school and was told he could not do certain things because of his size, he overcame impossible odds to be professionally successful and retire at the top of the government ranks as a Senior Executive. https://www.udtdave.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/udtdave/ https://instagram.com/@udtdave Resources: Interested in starting your own podcast or need help with one you already have?

The worlds of music, art and science can symbiotically exist and share center stage together to offer a sense of awe, wonder and inspiration about moons of the solar system, and ultimately about our home planet. Award winning composer and pianist Amanda Lee Falkenberg has created THE MOONS SYMPHONY- a project 5-years in the making, consulting with planetary scientists from NASA's JPL to ensure the science was anchored in scientific accuracy. Listen to hear not only the most beautiful and incredible music, but to hear directly from Amanda how science influenced each of the moons within the symphony.  THE MOONS SYMPHONY Album is available here: https://lnk.to/TheMoonsSymphony Enjoy learning more about Amanda's journey in creating this masterpiece here: https://www.moons-symphony.com/blog About Amanda Lee Falkenberg: International award-winning composer and pianist Australian born Amanda Lee Falkenberg began her journey into composition through years spent in ballet studios as an accompanist, including the Australian Ballet company in 2000. She wrote over 120 pieces to accompany ballet dancers as they trained, which led to her Moving With Music album series.  In 2003 her first full-length orchestral ballet was commissioned, Edge of the World, and performed by the International Barossa Music Festival Orchestra with the prestigious Leigh Warren and Dancers, which received glowing reviews from the national press.  Inspired by visual imagery, Falkenberg's natural progression led her to write for film and TV, stage plays, documentaries, animation series and feature films, including her cinematic soundtrack to the screen adaption of Wilfred Thesiger's Arabian Sands. In 2017, she conducted the world premiere of her orchestral suite Sea Trilogy with the London Film Music Orchestra at their Gala Concert. Later that year, she completed her Arabian inspired concerto for piano and orchestra, Crossing of the Crescent Moon, after which she began her next large scale project, THE MOONS SYMPHONY.  Described by The Beauty of Space Art Authors Jon Ramer and Ron Miller as "…one of the most extraordinary achievements in space-inspired music, and perhaps the first to be accomplished in direct collaboration with astronomers and scientists", Falkenberg has presented the work and its scientific inspiration to global audiences including the NASA/JPL, Caltech, the Planetary Society of Los Angeles live radio show in Imperial College London 2022, the London Science Museum, COP26 in Glasgow, 2021, the Dubai Expo in 2021, the Euro Planet Science Congress EPSC in Geneva, 2019, and the TEDx Youth Conference, 2018.  Falkenberg has received many nominations and won multiple international contests, including the Great American Song Contest, Marvin Hamlisch emerging film composer contest in New York, the International Composition Competition in Italy, Hollywood Music in Media Awards (HMMA), and the Los Angeles Music Awards.  ​Falkenberg is an artist member of the International Association of Astronomical Artists (IAAA) who organized an elaborate multimedia/visual art project in in coordination with THE MOONS SYMPHONY" More about the MOONS SYMPHONY's PERFORMANCES:

Author discusses Mars landing and inner workings of NASA in a fascinating interview that also looks at the agency’s exploration of Saturn’s moon, Europa, whose ocean, say, scientists, is habitable and similar to Earth’s. And if you’ve ever wondered about the inner workings of NASA (who hasn’t!?), journalist and bestselling author David W. Brown talks about how NASA scientists worked for years to discover a large saltwater ocean beneath Europa’s icy surface. Europa is one of Jupiter’s four Moons. “There is three times more water on Europa than on Earth, which makes scientists believe that complex life could very well exist there,” said Brown whose creative non-fiction book, “The Mission: A True Story,” was published in late Jan. 2021. “Life could be anywhere, we just have to look for it,” said Brown who added that it is a long trip to Jupiter: 6 years!And Mars? It’s much closer: around 7 months.

This week, we welcome science writer David W. Brown to the show. He is a contributor for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Scientific American. We will discuss his new book, The Mission, telling the story of NASA's upcoming project, the Europa Clipper. But first, we kick off the fortnight of Mars, as the first two of three new spacecraft arrive at our planetary neighbor, readying to explore the Red Planet. We will also head out to the outer reaches of our planetary family, where we meet Farfarout – the most-distant object known in our solar system.

The Jupiter moon, Europa is 390 million miles away from Earth. In 2025, the NASA Europa Clipper mission launches and is estimated to arrive in Jupiter’s orbit by 2031. Why Europa? Underneath its radiated surface, the icy moon is believed to host a vast ocean similar to Earth’s that has ample conditions for complex life. Author David W. Brown joins Viewpoints this week to shed some light on the Jovian moon and some of the challenges that came with the lengthy approval of this deep space mission.

Join us for a discussion with David W. Brown about his new book The Mission, the true story of NASA's bold Europa Clipper mission and the search for signs of life on Jupiter's icy ocean moon Europa.David tells us about the incredibly diverse team that put this project together, why Europa is the most likely place in the solar system to find signs of extraterrestrial life, and why we might just be living in the golden age of space exploration.David's website: davidwbrown.comFind David's book, The Mission: harpercollins.com/products/the-mission-david-w-brown?variant=32126580064290

In THE MISSION, acclaimed journalist David W. Brown gives a rollicking, genre-bending tale that tells how one of America’s boldest and potentially most revolutionary space missions came to be. Yet it almost didn’t happen, and by focusing on the key men and women involved, Brown reveals the amazing combination of passion, persistence, imagination, science, engineering, and political savvy that it takes to get a major space project off the ground. Most Americans have probably never heard of Europa, one of the small moons circling Jupiter. Thanks to data sent back by the Galileo satellite in the 1990s, we know that it has a large saltwater ocean bubbling with thermal activity underneath a miles-thick layer of ice. Since these are very much like the conditions that scientists believe led to the appearance of life on Earth, researchers have been yearning to undertake a closer investigation of Europa and Jupiter’s three other icy moons. But as Brown vividly details in his distinctive and engaging voice, ramping up for a major space program is a project of decades, requiring mind-boggling amounts of preparation across many different fields, not to mention many billions of dollars, which Congress, the president, and ultimately the public must be persuaded to spend. “In the end,” Brown writes, “it would take seventeen years, six major studies, multiple missions approved, multiple missions abandoned, friendships formed and enmities established, funding raised and budgets lost, congressional hearings, unlikely alliances, technological breakthroughs, terrible losses, and stunning discoveries to get NASA to make it official.

Once it was the moon. Today Mars is the holy grail of space exploration. In the coming months three missions, one from the US, one from Taiwan and one from the UAE will be approaching and/or landing on Mars. Next year Russia, Japan, and India have missions planned. It could get crowded up there!  And while NASA, the President and Congress may be less enamored by space than by that latest social media site, there is amazing work being done at NASA. Also the private sector, in the form of wayfarers such as Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Richard Branson are giving the government some competition.    All of this is part of the history of space and its future exploration. This includes an amazing mission planned to Europa, one of the moons of Jupiter in 2024.    Giving us a telescopic view of all of this is David W. Brown in his new book The Mission: A True Story   My conversation with David W. Brown:
