Dr. Melissa Corley Carter says: Your epic life actually IS rocket science!I was the epitome of vroom vroom veer, beginning with 20 years on the fast track chasing my dream to become an astronaut. Despite two Stanford engineering degrees, an Air Force officer commission, a PhD in astronautical engineering, and perfect vision after corrective eye surgery, my pre-surgical eyesight disqualified me and shattered my dream.I continued on the fast track of an Air Force career that looked like traditional success, but internally, I was adrift. I could have followed in the footsteps of the high-powered and inspiring women I worked for, but I realized I wanted to inspire people in a different way - and with a lot more life balance.When I came to a major decision point, I leaped into the unknown and left my active-duty military career. At the time I didn't know what my life purpose was, but I knew it was bigger than what I was doing.In the years since, I've realized that my astronaut dream emerged from an intuitive knowing of my spiritual connection with the universe, from a desire to inspire people to greatness the way astronauts had always inspired me, and from the vision of a unified and harmonious world.Now I use basic principles of rocket science to help rockstar humans reclaim their power, own their awesomeness, and take giant leaps of faith. I'm living my true dream every day!Also a 7 continents marathoner, I'm the author and photographer of the award-winning coffee table book, "Running the World: Marathon Memoirs from the Seven Continents," and the companion wisdom card deck, “Running YOUR World."

There was fine print in the astronaut qualification criteria that stated if your eye sight was "this bad" then don't bother with the corrective surgery; Melissa's pre-Lasik eye sight was "that bad" After realizing her dream of being astronaut was over; she looked at the amazing career track of her bosses in the Air Force and discovered that path wasn't appealing to her She found a new calling teaching leadership as an Air Force reservist; she also did a Marathon on every continent and wrote a coffee table book with stunning images and words of inspirational reflection Show Summary In this episode of "Vroom Vroom Veer," host Jeff Smith welcomes Dr. Melissa Corley Carter, a former astronaut candidate turned life coach.

#097 - As my voice soldiers on through the remnants of a cold, I sit down with adventurer and author Edward Olu, the spirited soul behind the children's book "Around the World in Eight Dives: Scuba Diving All Seven Continents." Our conversation travels from the depths of Edward's Nigerian origins to his life today in Southern California, capturing the ethos of resilience and human spirit. He's not just a man who's conquered underwater realms on every continent; he's also a storyteller whose life lessons and pursuit of fear's edge have reshaped his worldview, inspiring all to seek out their next chapter of discovery, be it global or in the comfort of your neighborhood.Adventure, Edward argues, isn't reserved for the adrenaline junkies alone - it's woven into the fabric of our everyday encounters, from the skateboarding trials of his kids to the novel tastes at a local farmer's market. This episode peels back the layers of what it means to live adventurously, encouraging us to embrace the unknown and the joy it can bring into our lives. As Edward shares his tales of diving into icy waters and the preparations that come with extreme cold water diving, it's clear that the richness of life is not found at the surface, but often in the depths where we challenge ourselves the most.Looking to the horizon, Edward envisions his future dives as selective masterpieces, as we talk about his eagerness to dive into the world of freediving and share the magic of the oceans with his children. Our riveting exchange underlines the importance of choice in our quests and the serenity that comes from a balanced approach to the thrill of adventure. With the 100th episode on the horizon, Edward's eloquence and passion for life remind us all that it's the journey that defines us, not just the snapshots of our destinations.

His story of what happened to him and his family is going to shock the two of them - and provide an explanation for the sinister events that have been troubling Gilbert Villiers.

In return, he has a little surprise for her ...

But are they going to get out of there alive? Macey is also dealing with a tricky situation. How much can she rely on what Eamonn Fitzroy, the CFO for Seven Continents says?

When Melissa Corley Carter was in 5th grade, an astronaut came and talked to her class.  She knew then that she wanted to travel into space herself.  She became a rocket scientist, but she wasn't able to realize her astronaut dream. She did achieve another audacious goal, though; she ran a marathon on all seven continents.   She wrote Running the World: Marathon Memoirs from the Seven Continents about her outer marathon journey and her inner journey of creating a more powerful and purposeful life. As she says, “Running has such a capacity to connect us to our bodies, to the rhythm of the earth, to our own nature.”  In this conversation, she shares what she learned from both journeys.   For complete show notes and links, visit our website at runningforreal.com/episode294.   Thank you to Tracksmith, InsideTracker, and Boulderthon for sponsoring this episode.
