Flying in the Face of Fear | Kim 'KC' Campbell - 888
Manage episode 469246849 series 2970842
Ever wondered what it takes to fly straight into danger and make it out the other side? Well, strap in because today’s guest, Kim 'KC' Campbell, knows exactly what that feels like.
Kim is a retired US Air Force fighter pilot who spent 24 years defying expectations, leading missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, and navigating some of the most intense situations imaginable. She’s flown over 100 combat missions in the A-10, including one that saw her aircraft severely damaged over Baghdad, forcing her to make a split-second decision that could have meant life or death.
We dive deep into that moment, the mental and physical resilience it took to stay in control, and how her training kicked in when everything seemed to be falling apart. Kim shares what it was like growing up with a dream that didn’t seem possible, pushing through barriers in a male-dominated field, and how those lessons in courage, discipline, and leadership have shaped her life ever since.
This is a conversation about grit, mindset, and what it really means to face fear head-on. Whether you’re flying high in your career, navigating personal challenges, or just looking for a jolt of inspiration, Kim’s story is one you won’t forget.
