Rob Robinson hosts Liz West on his podcast, "Philosophy from the Front Line." Liz shares her journey from growing up in South Carolina, inspired by the Gulf War, to joining the Air Force Academy and pursuing a career in aerospace. Despite initially aiming to be a pilot, she excelled in satellite development and endurance sports. A medical board ended her military career after eight years. Liz transitioned to a civilian role at Lockheed Martin, worked with disabled veterans, and now teaches science while pursuing an MBA. She emphasizes the importance of grit, resilience, and finding new opportunities post-military.
