In 1937, Amelia Mary Earhart attempted a to fly around the globe. Unfortunately, she disappeared somewhere over the South Pacific, never to be seen again.
In 2014, Amelia Rose Earhart, completed her own 28,000 mile flight around the globe, in a single engine aircraft. Her family shared the same last name as the first Amelia, spurring her to fall in love with aviation.
The modern day Amelia Earhart believes that the most important lesson she learned during her journey is that in order to truly succeed, and also grow along the way, we have to learn to love the turbulence.
Amelia is a commercial pilot, NBC journalist based in Denver, CO, and speaks internationally about what it means to reach our full potential through bold adventure and a solid flight plan.
Amelia’s story isn’t all smooth sailing. It’s going to be a bumpy ride, so keep your seatbelts fastened.
