Fighter Pilot | Author | Speaker | Creator
ABOUT:
HASARD LEE is a U.S. Air Force fighter pilot and the international bestselling author of “The Art of Clear Thinking,” a Wall Street Journal Bestseller that was the #2 bestselling business book in the country. It has since been translated into nearly a dozen languages.
As a flight commander, Hasard led pilots into combat during one of the most intense periods of War in Afghanistan. There, he flew over eighty combat missions and became one of the only fighter pilots to fly two different types of jets into combat on the same day while supporting troops under fire.
Hasard was then hand-picked to fly the F-35―the most advanced and expensive weapons system in history―which was still in development at the time. During his last role on active duty, Hasard became the Chief of Training Systems for the largest training base in the world, leading the development of new technology and teaching methods to train future fighter pilots.
In his book, "The Art of Clear Thinking," Hasard distills what he’s learned during his career flying some of the Air Force’s most advanced aircraft. With gripping firsthand accounts from his time as a fighter pilot and fascinating turning points throughout history, he reveals decision-making principles that can be used in business and in life.
Hasard’s keynote presentations have been called “a gripping display of visual storytelling” where audiences need to “strap in and hold on to as he lights the afterburner on leadership and risk management under extreme pressure.” His videos have been viewed over 130 million times on YouTube, and he has reached over 290 million people globally.
