Here's “Alexa, Play Electronic Fields by David Goldsmith”
One of the most pivotal moments in this past year was when a friend showed me the SpaceX Past Missions Video (Linked here) The song was perfect, the excitement was exploding from the video. The timing was impeccable, who ever edited it really seemed to focus on lining up the beat drops and content of the video, making the video even more impactful. After seeing that video, I went down a deep dive of SpaceX launch videos. This is where I was reacquainted with Gwynne Shotwell who is the COO of SpaceX. I had the chance to see a keynote speech and take a photo with her at a SWE conference. Her story hit me hard because she proves that a blonde engineer can lead to greatness while having kids and wearing fabulous shoes of course (when I saw her speech she was wearing amazing Loubotin booties). At the end of the this launch (around 1:30) , was a very influential moment was when they turned the camera to Gwynne Shotwell, you could see the sigh of relief and overwhelming thrill from all of the hard work that she and her team had put in. Since then, This photo of Gwynne has been the main background for my phone and I have programmed my Amazon Alexa to play the song as my alarm for the last year. I feel if you are reminded every day of where you want to go and what you need to do in order to achieve it, anything is possible if you reinforce it with the effort required. Here's a really interesting article about her (linked here).
