Today we're going to talk about bringing your whole self to work. While I totally understand where this concept is coming from, it has a lot of flaws in it. I advocate for your evolved self, not your whole self. For more on that, tune in to today's episode.

#40: Billy McMillan of NASA on Innovation Jul 04, 2018

Show notes

Today's episode comes to you from...the NASA headquarters! I was lucky enough to head down to Washington, DC to speak with Billy McMillan, the Human Innovation Officer at NASA. When we think about NASA, we typically think about scientists, engineers...but you don't often think of the other roles that play such a huge part in creating the discoveries that are made today. It was such a thrill to talk to Billy about some of the amazing things he is working on and how our philosophies intersect.
