1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 2 00:00:17,229 --> 00:00:19,062 From my perspective , it's about 3 00:00:19,062 --> 00:00:21,118 challenging the narrative of this is 4 00:00:21,118 --> 00:00:23,118 how we always did it and leveraging 5 00:00:23,118 --> 00:00:25,340 technology that we use every day in our 6 00:00:25,340 --> 00:00:27,562 personal lives to become more effective 7 00:00:27,562 --> 00:00:29,785 and efficient in the space force . When 8 00:00:29,785 --> 00:00:32,009 leaders tell you to be innovative and 9 00:00:32,020 --> 00:00:34,150 be creative and then they are willing 10 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,810 to invest their time and funding , it 11 00:00:36,819 --> 00:00:39,459 begins to spread ideas are some of the 12 00:00:39,470 --> 00:00:41,581 most valuable things that we create . 13 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,062 And it's a key part of leadership . The 14 00:00:44,062 --> 00:00:45,951 opportunity to present innovative 15 00:00:45,951 --> 00:00:48,740 concepts stimulates a just a great 16 00:00:48,750 --> 00:00:50,528 conversation that I haven't had 17 00:00:50,528 --> 00:00:53,009 anywhere else as a guardian . I think 18 00:00:53,020 --> 00:00:55,299 it's fairly easy to complain about the 19 00:00:55,310 --> 00:00:57,532 status quo or how we've done things but 20 00:00:57,532 --> 00:00:59,754 having opportunities like fight tonight 21 00:00:59,754 --> 00:01:01,588 or just the acquisition realm in 22 00:01:01,588 --> 00:01:03,810 general , how can we do things better ? 23 00:01:03,810 --> 00:01:06,032 Really promotes a culture of innovation 24 00:01:06,032 --> 00:01:08,254 and trying to push the limits and doing 25 00:01:08,254 --> 00:01:10,254 things faster and better ? Which is 26 00:01:10,254 --> 00:01:09,750 what the space force is all about . 27 00:01:10,110 --> 00:01:12,332 Continue to ask why no matter what your 28 00:01:12,332 --> 00:01:14,221 rank is , no matter your age , no 29 00:01:14,221 --> 00:01:16,277 matter your job title . I do believe 30 00:01:16,277 --> 00:01:18,499 that one person or one idea can make an 31 00:01:18,499 --> 00:01:20,919 impact no matter how small or trivial . 32 00:01:20,930 --> 00:01:23,150 You may think you are , your voice and 33 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,271 perspective needs to be heard because 34 00:01:25,271 --> 00:01:25,550 it can be the difference .
