Dr. Dave Williams, record-breaking Astronaut, Aquanaut, MD, hospital CEO and Leadership Expert, presented to a jam-packed room of 100+ people, encouraging the gathered group of scientists, entrepreneurs, investors and industry leaders to make the impossible possible, whether it is in the space program or another more earth-based environment. Dr. William’s inspirational stories and videos documenting his space walks and space missions illustrated how to successfully embrace and manage risk.

The presentation received a standing ovation and the Summit attendees headed back to their afternoon session with renewed inspiration and purpose.

Dr. Williams’ lesson for all of us from space: “There are no lines demarcating countries, making it clear that despite different cultures and languages, we are all in this together.”
