Mick Unplugged - Mach Speed Mindset with Michelle “Mace” Curran

Episode Date: November 20, 2025

Michelle "Mace" Curran is a former Thunderbird fighter pilot, author, keynote speaker, and entrepreneur dedicated to empowering others to rise above self-doubt and tackle imposter syndrome head-on. Having flown elite missions and taken on leadership roles within some of the Air Force’s most demanding teams, Michelle now leverages her experience to inspire audiences across the country. Through her transition from high-performing military aviator to entrepreneur and thought leader, she’s passionate about helping others find their own “because,” lead with trust, and push through fear to leave a real legacy. Michelle’s story is one of courage, resilience, and authentic leadership—on and off the runway. Takeaways: Imposter syndrome is universal—even experienced leaders deal with it, and the first step to overcoming it is simply acknowledging it and talking about it openly. Building a high-performing team starts with trust and psychological safety, not just traditional authority—leaders who model vulnerability and accountability foster the strongest cultures. Facing your fears and making progress doesn’t require massive leaps; start taking “small, bold choices” to move toward your goals and let your confidence grow one step at a time.  Sound Bites: "The number of experienced leaders who come up after my keynotes and say, 'I feel imposter syndrome every single day'—it’s more common than you think." "Trust isn’t just a military thing; it’s the foundation of every high-performing team. When errors aren’t hidden, they’re learned from immediately." "Naming your inner critic gives you power over it—it’s about recognizing when that voice shows up…and choosing not to listen."

Former Thunderbird fighter pilot, Michelle Mace Currant, shows up to tell us how to rise through imposter syndrome, how to lead with trust, and how to command confidence under pressure. This isn't theory. It's lived leadership at Moxby. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you one of the best thought leaders in our space today. My good friend, Michelle Mace Curran.

Michelle, how you doing today, dear? I am great. That was one of the best intros I have ever heard. I need you to travel with me. First off, you've had many amazing intros, so I'm not going to go there. But you are amazing. You are awesome and you deserve everything that I just said. So it's the truth.

Thank you so much. So, Mace, I love starting my episodes by asking my guest about their because. That thing that's deeper than your wife. that purpose, that mission that drives you. And it changes over time, right? So if I were to say today, Mace, what's your because? Why do you keep doing the things that you do and giving so unapologetically from your soul? I love this question and that you started with today because I think it's clearer for me today than it has been at any other point in my career in the various chapters.

and being an entrepreneur post active duty military, quite the shift, quite the change in just structure, you know, used to having a chain of command and very clear mission and orders and being part of a high performing team. And now I'm a solo entrepreneur. There's no playbook. There's no wingman who's in the thick of it with me, even though I have some amazing people that help whenever I need them. And so I tell people, there are I was surprised that I'm so passionate about what I'm doing now because it seemed like I've already done things that people look up to in such a unique way. But I feel so clear that I'm creating my legacy now, even though I got to fly for the Thunderbirds, which is just a cool thing

to be part of. And it gave me the platform to do what I do now. It gave me the perspective and the wisdom to be able to present my ideas in a way that really impact people in this new chapter. But I get to tangibly see the inspiration happen in front of my eyes when I give a keynote speech, when I talk to someone afterward and they tell me how that moment where they felt like I was talking directly to them just changed their life. And now with my book, I get these amazing pieces of feedback that are very similar where they're like, I feel like you wrote this for me. And I know what I'm going to go do differently now. So it's not just I feel good. It's I'm going to act accordingly because of that. And so having this platform and this position and this timing

to be able to not just feel fulfilled myself because I get to control my schedule and I'm my own boss and I have creative control of the narrative, but just to see this legacy being left when I talk to a 20-year-old woman who wants to be a pilot. Or I talk to a 65-year-old man who's of retiring and feels like he's lost his identity. And so I feel like that's still sort of my why, but I like that you took it a little bit deeper because being an entrepreneur is hard and uncertain. And it just keeps me running towards the target without hesitation,

maybe naively sometimes, but I absolutely love it. I love that. I love your answer. And I love, I've told you offline, like I just love the person, the human being that you are.

so inspired by you. You know, my best friend in the world is celebrity chef Robert Irvine, whose mission, whose because is helping our heroes, right? Like our military, our veterans, our servicemen and women, first responders, that really make what we do in the United States easy. And I know that we all have diversity. We all have challenges. But Michelle, without people like you, I don't think the world would understand.

understand the true adversity, the true challenges that we would have. So again, I just want to thank you for all that you have done, all that you currently do, and all that I know you will continue to do. So thank you for that. That means a lot. And Robert has just done such an incredible job of using the platform he's been given to give back to the veteran community. He's, you know, just a handful of people are doing it at that level. And he's one of them. So I love that connection. Absolutely. So you are. are Wisconsin's finest, born and raised in Wisconsin, right? My youngest son went to undergrad at Beloit in Wisconsin, so I got to spend a little bit of time

in that great state. Talk to us a little bit about growing up in Wisconsin, but more importantly, when did you know that, yeah, I'm going to go support and fight and defend for our country in the Air Force? Yeah, growing up in Wisconsin was a great place to grow up. And, but my dad would be very sad if I didn't tell you when I was growing up. We didn't live anywhere close to Beloit, but we would drive past the exit for it. And we were going on a road trip. And he would say, you know how they named that town?

It's the sound a quarter makes if you accidentally drop it in the toilet. The most obscure thing that I remember from my childhood. I don't even think I've ever been to Beloit. So I apologize for people from there that are listening. But that is what my dad would say. That's the most dad's story I've ever heard. Of course. And, well, I won't bash Beloit because my son went to college there.

But, yeah, like, it's one of those towns that has a ton of history. But, like, you could miss it if you don't pay attention. Yeah. That's weird. Yeah, lots of hidden gems like that in the Midwest in general, I think. But, yeah, so I didn't grow up in an aviation family or military family. my grandpa, my dad's dad, had been a lieutenant in World War II in the Navy. And so there was a small exposure there.

He passed away when I was two years old, so I don't have any memories of him. But his trunk, his like military green metal trunk with Lieutenant Kern stenciled on the end of it was at my grandma's house growing up. And I used to open it, take out all his stuff. There were letters that he had written to my grandma. there were black and white photos from him in like the Pacific during World War II. He was in the thick of it and his uniforms were in there. And I would actually try them on and put on his spectacles and his wooden pipe was in there.

And it was just like this treasure trove of what felt like adventure coming from a small town in Wisconsin. And so I think that was in the back of my mind. And fast forward to high school where I need a way to pay for college. and I'm a good student but my parents don't have a college fund for me and I start talking to my dad about this and he had gone to UW Madison for a while and he had seen all of the ROTC cadets running around

he wasn't in ROTC but he was just like familiar that it existed so we start talking about that we end up settling that Air Force ROTC would probably be a good fit great scholarship opportunities at that point I didn't want to be a pilot but the Air Force I associated with this idea of exploration and adventure and it just felt like the branch that I got the most excited about.

So I go off to college in Minnesota on an ROTC scholarship as a criminal justice major because my plan is to do four years in the Air Force after I graduate to pay back my scholarship and then I want to be an FBI agent. Okay. That is my dream. as like a 16-year-old. Wow. I don't know why.

I was joke that I love the X-Files growing up. And, you know, the most accurate representation of what FBI agents do, hunt down aliens. But there we are. That's amazing. And then halfway through college, I'm already going to commission as a lieutenant when I graduate college. We end up visiting an Air Force base, and I see two fighter jets take off in full afterburner. And I am just awestruck. It is the coolest thing I have ever seen, goosebumps, jaw dropping, and I'm like, forget the FBI.

How do I go do that? And then it became my singular focus on how I can make that happen. So as much as I feel like I know about you, I never knew the how you got there. Like, that's awesome. That's awesome. So let's talk about, you know, you're enlisted. You're doing amazing things. when did you realize that you're a leader?

And there's a purpose that I'm asking this question. But when did you know, when did you accept the responsibility? I'm going to ask it that way. When did you accept the responsibility that I have to lead? I have to lead people. That's such an interesting question because that's one of those titles that I always felt a lot of imposter syndrome around. And it's because I didn't stay in the Air Force long enough to be. be what the Air Force talks about as like leadership like a squadron commander right right like

i would have i left at 13 years had i stayed in for probably two more years i would have gotten into a position like that but i left before that and so i had so many moments where i was a leader even if it wasn't at that level in that title right like i was a flight lead in formation i was a mission commander putting 60 aircraft in the air and I'm the one in charge of that entire thing. I go to the Thunderbirds and I'm, for two years, my title is the lead solo. And so it's funny because from an outside perspective, I was leading in so many different ways.

And when I was in that role, when we took off and I was the mission commander or the flight lead or the lead solo, I very much was empowered to be the decision maker to execute as the leader. but I had a harder time kind of identifying as a leader in general, right, like when I'm not officially in that role. And I don't think it was until almost when I left the Air Force and I started to interact much more with the civilian world where people would always refer to my leadership and refer to me as a leader. And I was like, wait, is that true? Is that accurate? And now three years later, you know, writing the book, I think, really solidified that for me because so much time went into thinking about the experiences in my career, pulling stories from them and being

like, what wisdom is here that other people can learn from? And now I'm speaking as a thought leader, which is a whole other ball game. And so it was a bit of a circuitous route to get there. I don't feel like I commissioned into the Air Force as a lieutenant and was just like, I'm a leader now. I definitely stumbled around it for over a decade. So I purposely asked that question. And I promise to everybody that's watching or listening, this was not

rehearsed. Because you are one of the best. I'm going to put you in my top three leadership speakers, leadership development coaches that I know. And I genuinely mean that. And When we talk about some of the topics that you discuss and the workshops that you put on, a couple of my favorites are ones that you just brought up.

So dealing with imposter syndrome, which I think is crazy. Crazy in a good way for everybody listening to watch. I don't mean it's crazy to have imposter syndrome. I mean, it's crazy in a good way that we're talking about it, right? And in a very positive way. You talk about the power of creating a culture of trust, which I also talk about. Like in 2025, going into 2026, trust is the new currency. For the modern employee, trust is what they crave, trust is what they desire.

It's no longer about your benefit, your 401K package, right? Like your PTO, it's not that. It's can I trust you? And then you talk about overcoming self-doubt. And I wanted to ask you, and we can go deeper into dealing with imposterone, syndrome for the viewer or listener right now that's struggling with imposter syndrome that's willing to admit that they're struggling with imposter syndrome what are some things that they can start doing to overcome that to in your words to deal with it yeah i i struggled with this so much

early in my career and then it popped up a few times later but i think my perspective on it had changed so it was more more manageable and now that I speak about it openly, it is such a widespread experience. It is not just for people in an environment like a fighter squadron. And it's not just for people that are in such a minority like I was as 2% of fighter pilots when I came in were women. I think that that can layer on to it. But the number of like even experienced leaders who are in a C suite at a big company who happen to be in my keynote audience and come up afterwards and are like, I'm the CFO and I feel this every single day.

Like it is such a common thing, but no one talks about it that openly. And so I think that's one of the big things is recognizing it and then normalizing it. And then we can do something about it. And so even just having the self-awareness to be listening to podcasts like this one that are focused on that personal development, that EQ, that self-awareness, because without that, you're not going to admit it you're just going to be stuck in the struggle and just not even have the perspective to realize what's going on but one of the things that I do with people to help them recognize it is an exercise where we go we call it going to war with your inner

critic and they actually write down like the physical attributes that that negative inner voice would have what it sounds like what it looks like they give it a name and I know for me personally I realized that so many of my business decisions, I was filtering through this, this inner voice, this critic that was, I guess, the world's idea of what the perfect fighter pilot would be. So it was an older male super tactical experienced fighter pilot who wasn't a real person was kind of just made up of society's expectations and the pressures that I felt my entire career. And as I'm writing my book, as I'm putting stuff out on social media, as I'm doing a speech, I would be like,

am I, like, who am I to tell my story? What makes me so special? Like, how dare I become a thought leader in this space that's full of amazing people? And so I think we all have that version. And giving it characteristics, mine's name is Stan, giving it characteristics in a name.

Now when it shows up, you're just like, oh, I know what this is. I see it for what it is. And I can choose to ignore it Or listen to it. I get to choose what I do, though. Yeah. And then talking to someone else about it, a mentor, a peer, someone else who's in your

same space dealing with similar pressures, I almost guarantee they're going to tell you they've felt the same way. And that's the normalizing it part. That's awesome. That is so awesome. You know, and I just talked about one of your other topics that you and are in so much alignment on, creating a culture of trust. Michelle, when I grew up and when I first got into the workforce and even as a student, as an athlete, leaders, the mantra was do as I say, not as I do.

And more importantly, do as I say today, because I might contradict something I told you yesterday or last week, right? And that was kind of the power of leadership. That doesn't work anymore. right like I tell people all the time especially with like my children I tell the story of when my parents and grandparents told me something I had to believe and it wasn't until the internet became a thing that I was like wait that wasn't true what they told me right and now with your children with the people that you lead the people that you work with before you can complete the sentence that you're telling them they're already fact checking right because trust is so important and I said it earlier trust is the new currency. And I mean that because that's what the modern employee, that's what the modern teammate is looking for. First and foremost is, can I trust you? Regardless of what the mission is, right? Can I trust you that one, we're in this together. Two, you're going to give me purpose. And three, you're going to be transparent about what we're trying to do. But that all starts with

trust. I'd love for you to talk to the leaders out there today that don't understand. how important trust is for building a powerful high performance. Yeah, I think it's always been important, but what you said, like, it's becoming more and more important, because especially with AI, becoming more of what it is. And even anyone who's on social media knows half the time they can't trust their own eyeballs. And that's like a crazy place to be in. And that's only going to continue to be a bigger, a bigger issue. And so that trust and that authenticity and that connection is what people want. And that's what creates the highest performing teams. And I think one of the things in the military and one of the reasons

I had a hard time taking on the title of leader is because I did see several leaders. I had some amazing bosses as well. But I did see several leaders who kind of ruled with the iron fist, right? Like you just shut up in color. You're in the military. You just do what I do. I don't need to tell you why you don't need to understand the part of the mission that you contribute to just follow orders that does work temporarily but that does not work long term and that does not have people invested in the purpose and the mission and showing up as their best they're going to show up and clock in and clock out but you're not getting the full potential from that person and i think one of the things that fighter pilot culture does really good to foster trust because we have to have

it at such an extreme level, especially with thunderbirds, right? Like, you're flying as close as 18 inches from another airplane going four or 500 miles an hour. And a lot of times when we're in formation, you might be looking to the right, staring at the jet next to you, trying to stay in position. And there's another person to your left and another airplane doing the same thing. And you cannot turn and check on them. You just have to trust that they're not going to hit you and that they're going to move so that you can move where you need to go without being like, oh, are they out of the way? It's insane. And so the fighter pilot debrief where after every flight, we have this opportunity for feedback, ownership, and accountability. When you are a young,

new fighter pilot, it's intimidating because you feel like you're getting in trouble. And you also suck at your job because you're a beginner. So that most of the brief is just talking about the things you messed up because you're the weakest link because you're new. But as you progress and as you get kind of brought into that team and that trust starts to develop, you realize that the purpose of that is not to shame you, to ridicule you, to make you feel bad. The purpose is to openly look at everyone's mistakes, whether that's me as a brand new lieutenant, whether that's the wing commander who's a one star general and happens to also be a fighter pilot

and flies a handful of times a month and is honestly just not that tactically good at that point because he has a lot other stuff going on. And when he fesses up his mistakes the same as I do, that's what creates that trust. And everyone

understanding that the reason we're doing this feedback is because we want to be the best team we can possibly be. It's not to call you out. It's not to make you feel bad. It's because we have this shared goal that creates that psychological safety. That creates a team that gets better a lot faster because errors aren't hidden.

They're learned from immediately. That's awesome. That is so awesome. And I know you talk, you highlight a lot of this also in this new amazing book that you have coming out or that is out the flip side. Let's talk about the flip side. Let's talk about what readers are going to get. out of this book. Let's talk about your purpose and passion of writing in it and putting ideas into paper. It was quite the process. I worked on it for three years and it's been out for

about a month and a half as of when we're recording this. So still very fresh. It was one of those things where I was out there telling my story early on doing speeches and I was constantly getting asked if I had a book. I was like, I've been out of the Air Force for two minutes. Hold on. it takes a second to write a whole book. And also I didn't know if I had the wisdom and enough to put into 70,000 words. That's very intimidating. And I didn't want to just check the box to have a book. I wanted to make sure it was something I was proud of that I believed in and that could really impact people. So I sat down with a professional writer almost like I would say my talks with her were like therapy because it would be like, well, I have the

this story and then we would dig into it and having that person to bounce ideas off of and find through lines and themes and all this like jumble of 13 years of crazy experiences I had was so helpful and it became clear very quickly that fear was really the common thread because I tell some some crazy stories of near misses in the airplane in the book where fear of physical harm fear of death is on the table. And I think that's what people expect coming from a fighter pilot. But there's only a handful of those in there because that was not the fear that I dealt with most often. It was that fear of failure of not being good enough, of letting people down. And that is what makes it relatable. So it's not just cool jet stories. Those are sprinkled in there.

But it is really people, it's not written for other pilots. Anyone who picks it up, I think, we'll see themselves in somewhere in the pages. And then we also did a lot of research in human psychology to really root it in science. So it's not just me being like anecdotally, I experienced this. It's also like, this is why our brain does that. This is like why we get overstimulated and overstress and can't perform. And here's how you can manage that in any situation. Yeah.

Yeah. I love in the book, when you talk about it. about facing your fears and and I think everybody that's watching or listening needs to understand like it's okay to have fears right like it is quite okay because it's common because you do have them so don't don't let anyone tell you that it's not a fear like you have butterflies you get anxious over things it's usually a fear and it's okay you know Michelle's going to tell you and I'm going to tell you you just have to acknowledge it first and then you can have a plan to face them. But if you don't acknowledge that what you're experiencing or what you're

feeling is fear, then you're never going to overcome it. Or I shouldn't say that. You're never going to face it the way that you should. So I love for you, the expert, Michelle, to talk to us about facing your fears and how you can approach to it. Yeah, much like the inner critic and imposter syndrome, the first thing is acknowledging it and recognizing it for what it is. And I think a lot of us feel that physiological response of fear and it stops us in our tracks. Like we, we feel maybe it's that upset stomach. It's the heart rate. It's that that pit that you get in your stomach.

And you're like, oh, that is that is my body telling me that I should not do this thing. And it has a place, right? Like, don't walk out in front of traffic. Of course, like, don't jump off a cliff. Like, we need fear. but that's the primal fear that kept us alive back in primitive times where we're worried about tigers and bushes but when we let that propagate to every part of our life in modern society where there's no saber-tooth tigers that is where it just gets in the way and it holds us back

and so giving people tools where they recognize the root of the fear they can actually zoom out and look at what would this look like so say you have a big opportunity come up and you feel that excitement and then you immediately feel that fear because you know it's a stretch for you you know you're going to have to learn you know you might fail and you're i imagine it like this teeter totter it's it's this scale like like the IRS scale or the one that's on the on the dollar right we're like does the fear outweigh the rewards so i'm like write down what the worst case scenario is like what are you so afraid of And oftentimes if you get it out of your head onto paper or even better, you talk to someone else about it, right there, it makes it pretty obvious that it's not as big of a deal as you thought it was when you were just spiraling on it.

So that can be enough right there. But then if it is still a factor and the worst case is really bad, now you're like, okay, if that does happen, what can I have planned? What tools do I have? How can I prepare to be able to handle it? And like, we would do that. for Air Force missions all the time, right? Like, say our intelligence is bad and this goes south completely, like what is our plan B? What's our contingencies? And when you get it out of your brain and you get it out into the world

and then you plan for that worst case, now you're a lot more confident. And now the scale will often tip towards, okay, it's worth going after this opportunity. Because I think resilience and persistence and perseverance, isn't this idea that everything's going to always go in your favor, right? It's the idea that you're going to take action.

And when stuff does go wrong, doesn't go as planned, which inevitably will happen at some point. Yeah. That's okay because I can weather that storm. That's awesome. That's awesome. Mace, I could talk to you forever. All right. We're just getting started.

I know. That's what I'm saying. Like, we could literally do this forever. So I want to give another. Another tip trick to the person listening or watching that has that self-doubt. That's like, I just, I don't know if I can do X. I don't know or I don't believe that I have the ability to do why. Can you give that person that's dealing with self-doubt a couple of tips, a couple of action points that they can do to start to overcome that?

Yeah, I like to focus on what I call SBCs, because we love acronyms in the military, small, bold choices. So I think a lot of times we have this big goal, this dream, and it's that thing that we can't, we can't let go, right? We haven't done it yet. We're scared. We might fail. Keeps popping up. So rather than there being two choices of going all in on this thing, making this massive leap, and that feels terrifying, or choice B, doing nothing, and guaranteeing that things not going to happen, there's an option in between. And that is

SBCs, where you pick the smallest action step you can take right now, today, that would serve that goal, that would move you towards it. And it should feel a little bit bold, but it shouldn't be so terrifying that if it doesn't go as planned, it scares you back to stagnation. So if you are thinking about making a career leap. For example, you're like, I'm going to leave my job and move to this new industry. Okay, rather than just quitting today, how about you send five LinkedIn messages to people in the industry that you want to be part of? Reach out and be like, well, can I get on a call with you? I want to learn more. That probably feels a little bit uncomfortable to most people. But if those people just ghost you and don't respond, you've lost nothing. And so focusing

on SBCs just makes it so much more manageable. It also manages the risk. And it is a surefire way to slowly build your confidence. Again, we all need to hire Michelle. She has some courses, some workshops. Obviously, she's available to speak. Michelle, where can people find and follow you? Where do you want them to find and follow you?

Yeah, my website is macekern.com. So call sign last name. name. Instagram's a great spot. It's Mace underscore Curran. I'm also on LinkedIn, Michelle Mace Curran, and I put a lot of kind of thought leadership content out there. So I am very easy to find on the internet.

There we go. There we go. All right. Mace, I'm going to get you out of here with my rapid fire, my five rapid fire question. Ready? Ready. I'm caffeinated. Let's go.

Let's go. All right. Cheese curds or mozzarella sticks? Cheese curds. Favorite cheese is? I like Colby Cheddar. Okay. Wisconsin people are like, yeah, we get it.

Yeah, I have some of the fridge. I'll give you homage with some cheese tonight later. Call sign or nickname that still makes you laugh to this day. Oh, gosh. Some of these are not safe for work. I think there's so many, gosh, I got to think of one that's kind of PC. the plays on last names that are like code brown for example if anyone's been looked at the cockpit of a fighter jet if you got to go to the bathroom you don't got any options so

you can only imagine something like that so there there's so many like that and so many of them are just totally inappropriate and we just always call them only by their call sign so that You kind of disassociate the combo of the call sign last name. But we'll go with that one for now. All right. Code Brown. I'll get the other ones later. Your favorite way to unplug or recharge?
