Integrity and Joy — Episode 15:

In this deeply personal and thought-provoking episode of Integrity and Joy, host Steve Walker reconnects with a former student, Meharban Singh Sobti, whose journey from a challenging childhood to working at SpaceX is nothing short of extraordinary.

Meharban shares candid reflections on navigating identity as a Sikh American, enduring childhood bullying, and wrestling with the weight of familial expectations. He opens up about his early academic struggles, his unexpected love for physics, and the path that led him to one of the most revolutionary aerospace companies in the world.

From being underestimated and facing discrimination to becoming a leader in a high-stakes environment, Meharban's story is a testament to resilience, self-discovery, and the power of choosing one’s own path. Along the way, we explore the tension between innovation and ethics, the evolving role of private space exploration, and what it truly means to find purpose in our work.

This is an episode about breaking barriers—personal, professional, and societal—and embracing the unknown with integrity and courage.
