“Space Talks with Z” Podcast Features Space Foundation’s Shelli Brunswick, Who Unveils Ways to Take Advantage of Today’s Space Economy
DALLAS, Texas and COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Dec. 4, 2020 — America’s Future Series and Space Foundation, a 501(c)(3) global space advocate for nearly 40 years are proud to announce the debut episode of the “Space Talks with Z” podcast to air on Dec. 8, featuring Space Foundation’s Shelli Brunswick.
To sign up: https://www.americas-fs.org/2021-space-talks
Zaheer Ali, host of “Space Talks with Z,” interviews Brunswick, COO of the Space Foundation and Executive Leader of the organization’s Center for Innovation and Education. Shelli is also a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, and a United Nations Space for Women mentor and a WomenTech Network ambassador. In this interactive podcast, Brunswick clearly demonstrates that the space economy provides tremendous opportunities for anyone who’s willing to take advantage of the current $423.8 billion global market.
“The technology that we are deriving is being commercialized,” said Brunswick, “and what that means is that it creates jobs, innovation, and opportunities that benefit all of us here on Earth.”
The opportunities in the space economy are limitless no matter what level of education, economy, or status. Here are latest metrics*:
● $423.8 billion global market
● $1–$3 trillion growth expected by 2040
● 80-plus nations actively operating and competing in the space sector
● Space economy salaries 40% above the average income
*metrics provided by The Space Report
In this informative podcast, Brunswick lays out step-by-step guidance for all individuals, from both STEM and non-STEM backgrounds, to find necessary education free or at a low-cost, get higher-paying jobs, find ways to elevate their financial status and current lifestyle, open the doors to their entrepreneurial ambitions, and obtain the resources needed to secure patents.
“It’s about breaking down the barriers to allow all citizens to understand they can be part of the Space Economy,” said Brunswick. “We want everyone to be part of it; we want all ideas to come forward.”
Watch the debut Tues., Dec. 8, by signing up here, and a recording will be also available after that date.
America’s Future Series would like to thank sponsors Raytheon Technologies and Bell Flight for making this valuable podcast possible.
