How would you feel if you were competing with Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk for one of the most important projects on earth… and lost?

Now scratch that..what if you were chosen to lead a NASA team tasked with building technology to take humans from earth to space, only for your project to fall short of the top two?

Are there still wins in defeat? What lessons can be found in a childhood dream cut short by an eye defect, when becoming an astronaut was no longer possible?

In today’s episode, we sit down with Andy, a former aerospace engineer who turned personal setbacks into remarkable career victories. From leading NASA’s Human Landing System initiative in 2018 to reshaping what success really means, his journey is a powerful reminder that being young is not a limitation, it’s a stage to dream bigger, fail forward, and rise higher.

If you’re in your 20s or 30s...whether in tech, business, or just figuring life out, this conversation is a masterclass on resilience, redefining success, and daring to be limitless.
