On The Wellness Driven Life Show, April Chavez welcomes Diallo Wallace, naval aviator, aerospace engineer, educator, analog astronaut, and founder of TESSA, a program that opens real doors for high school students in aerospace, engineering, aviation, and space careers. Diallo shares the story behind his own path into aviation and space, from the Space Shuttle Columbia launch that sparked his imagination to the mentors, failures, and hard-won lessons that shaped his journey. He also explains why the real work in STEM is not only technical, but human: helping young people see themselves as capable, supported, and ready to contribute. In this episode, we explore: ⚡ How one childhood spark can become a lifelong mission. ⚡ Why grit, failure, and support are part of real growth. ⚡ The importance of youth mentorship in aerospace and STEM. ⚡ Why the future of space depends on the human factor as much as the technology. ⚡ How to quiet outside noise and listen to the inner voice that says, \"Yes, you can.\" From analog missions in the Arctic to credit-bearing aerospace courses for students, Diallo's work is about widening the path so the next generation can rise with confidence.
