The few short days are full of meetings, sessions, and networking, and it may seem impossible to fit another thing on the list. Some executives recognize, however, that one of the most important things they can do is reach out to young professionals and offer support and advice. <\/p>\n<p>Young professionals may feel the questions they ask are trivial, but these seemingly trivial questions can spark reflection in more experienced members of the workforce. Is there some idea that hasn\u2019t been challenged in years? Questions that seem simple can provide an opportunity to innovate and explore new solutions to old problems. Experienced engineers and young professionals working together have the potential to create an atmosphere of innovation that might not occur otherwise. <\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/dVDHYq9T1yxoaxsSi8PQ_ShowDaily20_Day2_DGTL-300x225.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" style=\"width: 120px; height: auto;\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/dVDHYq9T1yxoaxsSi8PQ_ShowDaily20_Day2_DGTL-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/dVDHYq9T1yxoaxsSi8PQ_ShowDaily20_Day2_DGTL-800x599.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/dVDHYq9T1yxoaxsSi8PQ_ShowDaily20_Day2_DGTL-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/dVDHYq9T1yxoaxsSi8PQ_ShowDaily20_Day2_DGTL.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"fs-5 mt-0\">Explore the Show Daily 2020 Day 2 Issue<\/h3>\n<p class=\"mb-0 fs-smaller text-balance\">Check out more from this issue and find your next story to read.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<button class=\"btn btn-primary\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"offcanvas\" data-bs-target=\"#offcanvasMENU\" aria-controls=\"offcanvasExample\" aria-label=\"button\" style=\"white-space: nowrap;\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tView More <i class=\"bi bi-arrow-right-circle\"><\/i><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/button><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s every executive\u2019s obligation to give back for the betterment of STEM and the education system, to take the time to give advice to students, to try and be accessible the best they can,\u201d says Steve Isakowitz, CEO of The Aerospace Corporation and founder of the Matthew Isakowitz Fellowship Program. <\/p>\n<p>Isakowitz says he has always welcomed young professionals seeking advice, even if it isn\u2019t work related. He takes calls from students at his alma mater, offers his perspective, and listens to young professionals speak about what excites them and keeps them motivated. \u201cI always find it comes around. What excites me or is obvious to me might not be that way to others. That\u2019s something important I\u2019ve had to learn,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n<p>Many young professionals doubt they could ever make an impact on the industry. But sometimes, it takes just one comment, one recommendation, one swapped business card to nudge them into an interplanetary trajectory that will influence the entire industry. Isakowitz comments, \u201cStudents are keen to underestimate themselves, and sometimes the slightest nudge makes them the future industry icon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6ac39cc874b;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6ac39cc874b = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6ac39cc874c').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6ac39cc874c'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<p>In 2016 at Politicon in Pasadena, California, Lori Garver, now CEO of Earthrise Alliance, spoke on a panel with Bill Nye about space policy. In the audience was a woman who was studying political science and had a deep love for space. She listened to Garver speak about her time as deputy administrator of NASA, and was enthralled by Garver\u2019s fervor to push the development of space policy. The young woman approached Garver after the panel to ask for advice and to share why the topic of space policy was so intriguing to her. Garver was more than happy to offer advice she had, and the two stayed in contact.<\/p>\n<p>Four years later, that young professional, Karina Perez Molina, works for Aerospace Industries Association (AIA), runs the SGx portion of the SATELLITE conference, and was even given the opportunity to give back to the Brooke Owens Fellowship by collaborating with Bill Nye for a STEM education fundraiser. <\/p>\n<p>Molina remembers that day as a \u201cweird pivotal point where I was advised to \u2018just do this, just go for it,\u2019 and I said \u2018Okay, I\u2019m going to go for it.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n<p>When Garver took the time as an executive in the aerospace industry to reach out and support a young professional, Molina followed through with full force. Molina acted on the advice she was given and she followed up with Garver consistently, making her a lifelong mentor and friend in the industry. Both Garver and Molina have benefitted from the relationship, and they have stayed close. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always encourage students to talk to other executives. You\u2019ve talked to me, you can talk to other executives, we don\u2019t bite,\u201d Isakowitz says. Molina learned that lesson firsthand and continues to benefit from approaching Garver that day at Politicon. <strong>VS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>,<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"widget-title\">In This Issue<\/h2>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<!-- post id 386:  \/code\/wp-content\/themes\/ai-beehive\/template-parts\/content\/post-snippet.php --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"overflow-hidden w-100 me-3\">\n<p>\t<img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/2QXdaYcQt2SSQjowXh5F_HSyCJ-P3-300x200.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" style=\"\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/2QXdaYcQt2SSQjowXh5F_HSyCJ-P3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/2QXdaYcQt2SSQjowXh5F_HSyCJ-P3-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/2QXdaYcQt2SSQjowXh5F_HSyCJ-P3-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/2QXdaYcQt2SSQjowXh5F_HSyCJ-P3.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"fs-4 w-100 line-clamp-3\">\n<p>\t\t\t\tAhead of His Time, Musk Brings the Rhyme to SATELLITE<br \/>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<p><!-- .post-snippet --><\/p>\n<hr class=\"my-3 d-block d-md-none\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- post id 388:  \/code\/wp-content\/themes\/ai-beehive\/template-parts\/content\/post-snippet.php --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"overflow-hidden w-100 me-3\">\n<p>\t<img width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/JrGmhxm1RtyQ4JECJunH_DSC_1490-300x200.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" style=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/JrGmhxm1RtyQ4JECJunH_DSC_1490-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/JrGmhxm1RtyQ4JECJunH_DSC_1490-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/JrGmhxm1RtyQ4JECJunH_DSC_1490-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/JrGmhxm1RtyQ4JECJunH_DSC_1490.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"fs-4 w-100 line-clamp-3\">\n<p>\t\t\t\tMilitary Modernization Experts Push  for Innovation, Collaboration, and Risk Taking<br \/>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<p><!-- .post-snippet --><\/p>\n<hr class=\"my-3\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<!-- post id 389:  \/code\/wp-content\/themes\/ai-beehive\/template-parts\/content\/post-snippet.php --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"overflow-hidden w-100 me-3\">\n<p>\t<img width=\"300\" height=\"249\" src=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/bLp598VxTKGdkrkeiPp1_07_VS_030120_SEOTY_DGTL-300x249.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" style=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/bLp598VxTKGdkrkeiPp1_07_VS_030120_SEOTY_DGTL-300x249.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/bLp598VxTKGdkrkeiPp1_07_VS_030120_SEOTY_DGTL-800x664.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/bLp598VxTKGdkrkeiPp1_07_VS_030120_SEOTY_DGTL-640x531.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/bLp598VxTKGdkrkeiPp1_07_VS_030120_SEOTY_DGTL.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"fs-4 w-100 line-clamp-3\">\n<p>\t\t\t\tThe Nominees for 2019 Satellite Executive of the Year<br \/>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<p><!-- .post-snippet --><\/p>\n<hr class=\"my-3 d-block d-md-none\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- post id 387:  \/code\/wp-content\/themes\/ai-beehive\/template-parts\/content\/post-snippet.php --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"overflow-hidden w-100 me-3\">\n<p>\t<img width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/d29dJ378S8a1U1IqG77N_Satshow_DC_Background-300x200.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" style=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/d29dJ378S8a1U1IqG77N_Satshow_DC_Background-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/d29dJ378S8a1U1IqG77N_Satshow_DC_Background-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/d29dJ378S8a1U1IqG77N_Satshow_DC_Background-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/d29dJ378S8a1U1IqG77N_Satshow_DC_Background.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"fs-4 w-100 line-clamp-3\">\n<p>\t\t\t\tWhere Are They Now?
