Andy Crocker is an aerospace executive with three decades of experience across human and robotic exploration, hypersonics, and missile defense. He’s held senior roles at several companies, leading the development of innovative technologies and managing complex system programs for NASA, commercial, and Department of Defense customers. As a strategic leader, he’s built high-performance teams and contributed to some of the most ambitious projects in aerospace, including NASA’s Human Landing System. He’s been inducted as a Technical Fellow at a global, Fortune 300 company and an Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in engineering, humanities, management, and leadership. This multidisciplinary educational background and diverse career shaped his perspective that led to The Unconditionals, in which he reveals the foundational, timeless values that help readers unlock the potential for their greatest personal and professional fulfillment.

• Andy was inspired to write his book "The Unconditionals" earlier in life, but did it when 1) his oldest son was a senior in high school, 2) he finished 3rd in the space race with Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, and 3) he reached midlife and wanted to share wisdom.
• Failure in his human landing project led to the realization that failure is okay, and that's where growth happens.
• Our challenges aren't unique today; we can find comfort and leverage timeless wisdom
• The 5 unconditional values are: Love, Gratitude, Integrity, Accountability, and Endeavor. 
  • Love applies in the workplace because you want to treat all humans around you with respect
    • you have an infinite supply
  • Gratitude often goes wrong because of either worry (future) or complaint (past)
  • Integrity comes from the word integer and implies "whole," it's more than honesty
  • The path to ACCOuntability is ACCO (Acknowledge, Consequences, Complete, Own)
  • Endeavor requires Effort, Purpose, Attitude, and Growth
    • Failure is a stepping stone to success, it's not a roadblock
  • Superpower is standing out from who you were, just start by taking one step to embrace these unconditional values and align yourself with it
