I mean, I would say a lot of my prep overlapped with other areas of my life because I mean, at the Air Force Academy, obviously in any military capacity, you have to be physically fit. So there wasn't ever like a, oh, I need to be fit for stage. It was, I need to be fit year round so I can continue serving in the military.

And then when it came to interview prep, I was already doing interview prep for all of my scholarships that I was applying for. During my time at the Academy, I was an astronaut scholar, ended up becoming a Truman scholar, and then a Rhodes finalist. And those interviews are tough. And I remember every day after school, we had a public speaking lab at the academy for free.

And I would just go in and I would have them grill me on any political question, any question on my resume that they could think of. And so when it came time to prepare for a pageant, I was already doing the work. I was just now showing off the work that I had put in a very different and unconventional way that you don't typically see in the military.

I mean, I've personally always liked the challenge because you feel proud of what you've accomplished when you finish. I mean, think of the people that are Olympians and the work that it took to get into something like that. The people that become the superstars, people that make the breakthroughs in research. None of that came from someone doing something easy.

You don't get greatness from taking the easy path. You get it from the challenge. You get it from the days that you fail and you fall down and you suck at things and you take that and you take your weaknesses and turn it into strengths and you learn from it. You learn from the people that are better than you.

And I think that challenge and wanting to meet that challenge is what makes people into success. That's what gives them that greatness because of that willingness to fail and try again. and get up and try again until you get it right. And I think that comes with anything, but at the end of it, you also have to be passionate about what you're doing.

Obviously the military is not going to be for everybody. Pageants aren't going to be for everybody, but I can guarantee everyone has their little niche thing that they're interested in, a passion of theirs. And that's when you pour into that challenge. I mean, for me, I'm really passionate about my nonprofit and all the time I'm trying to figure out
