When a surface-to-air (SAM) missile is tracking your aircraft in hostile territory, its tough to stay focused, calm and connected with your wingman - but you need to if you want to stay alive.

A retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel who overcame massive claustrophobia and a fear of heights to become a decorated fighter pilot, he shares some simple but powerful lessons he's taken from the cockpit of his F-16 fighter jet that he now applies to business, his work as an author and speaker, and life as a husband and father.
