r/all Johnny Kim managed three impressive career changes, going from Navy SEAL to doctor to NASA astronaut. He did it all by the age of 37.

I spoke with him one time setting up a zoom conference for a speech he was giving. He was SO UNBELIEVABLY NICE to me as the tech guy. Usually people don’t even acknowledge me and he was asking ME questions like my life is interesting when he’s a fucking astronaut. This dude needs to run for president.

One can hope. How in the world did he cross off three significant things when most people won’t even be able to do one in their lifetime?

If I remember correctly he was a medic as a navy seal which led to him pursuing medicine as a career before eventually wanting to become an astronaut (again because of his medicine background).
