Chris Hadfield is a Canadian astronaut, fighter pilot and author who has consistently challenged conventional thinking while reinventing himself numerous times along the way. With a new book out, The Defector, Chris has commanded numerous missions with the Canadian Armed Forces, the Canadian Space Agency and NASA, before finally retiring from active duty in 2013. In this episode he discusses how to assess risk effectively, his family’s role in a crisis scenario simulation, what he did when confronted with a snake in the cockpit at 10,000 feet and why you need to credit yourself with ten little wins, every day.
