Never Believe Your Own PR

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a celebrity? Have you ever dreamed of getting all that attention and what you’d make of the fuss about you? From a very young age I’ve been skeptical of celebrity status and aware of the warning to not believe your own PR—and this warning was proven right and wise when I was an astronaut, a role where using your image and position is part of the job.

In this episode, you’ll hear about a hilarious experience that exemplifies why you shouldn’t believe in your own PR. I also underscore the importance of following your internal compass and the advice of people who genuinely care for you.

“Don’t be fooled by courtesies and attention. Examine and test the motivations of the people providing you with that attention.” - Kathy Sullivan

This week on Kathy Sullivan Explores:

●     The Space Day Extravaganza in the late fall of 1985

●     How Space Day became Kathy Sullivan Day

●     Why you shouldn’t believe your own PR

Our Favorite Quotes:

●     “Follow your internal compass and your highest values. Be guided by the counsel of people who are consistently and genuinely motivated to support you simply because you’re you.” - Kathy Sullivan

●     “Using the power of our image and position to inspire the public is part of an astronaut’s job.” - Kathy Sullivan

Spaceship Not Required

I’m Kathy Sullivan, the only person to have walked in space and gone to the deepest point in the ocean.

I’m an explorer, and that doesn’t always have to involve going to some remote or exotic place. It simply requires a commitment to put curiosity into action.

In this podcast, you can explore, reflecting on lessons learned from life so far and from my brilliant and ever-inquisitive guests. We explore together in this very moment from right where you are--spaceship not required.
