Michelle 'Mace' Curran

I am great.

That was one of the best intros I have ever heard.

I need you to travel with me.

So thank you so much.

I love this question and that you started with today because I think it's clearer for me today than it has been at any other point in my career in the various chapters.

And being an entrepreneur post active duty military, quite the shift, quite the change in just structure, you know, used to having a chain of command and very clear mission and orders and being part of a high performing team.

And now I'm a solo entrepreneur.

There's no playbook.

There's no wingman who's in the thick of it with me, even though I have some amazing people that help whenever I need them.

And so I tell people they're always surprised that I'm so passionate about what I'm doing now, because it seemed like I've already done things that people look up to in such a unique way.

But I feel so clear.

that I'm creating my legacy now, even though I got to fly for the Thunderbirds, which is just a cool thing to be part of.

And it gave me the platform to do what I do now.

It gave me the perspective and the wisdom to be able to present my ideas in a way that really impact people in this new chapter.

But I get to tangibly see the inspiration happen in front of my eyes when I give a keynote speech, when I talk to someone afterward and they tell me how that moment where they felt like I was talking directly to them just changed their life.

And now with my book, I get these amazing pieces of feedback that are very similar, where they're like, I feel like you wrote this for me.

And I know what I'm going to go do differently now.

So it's not just I feel good.

It's I'm going to act accordingly because of that.

And so having this...
