This is the story of Nikki Foster and her journey to being a combat pilot in the Air Force Academy.  

As the daughter to immigrant parents, Nikki shares her journey of being an Air Force recruit, how she got to be an All-American Rugby Player (Two-Time National Champion), discovering her love for flying, and earning EIGHT Air Medals in combat. 

We discuss how she felt leaving her 18-month old at home while she had to serve for her country, what it was like flying over 3,000 hours in combat and the importance of mental health all along the way. I am grateful for Nikki's service and inspired by her strength and integrity. Please enjoy this episode with the remarkable leader - Nikki Foster.
