Book Launch: USAF Thunderbird Demonstration Team pilot Michelle ‘MACE’ Curran introduces her new picture book Upside Down Dreams and talks about pulling 9 G’s for a living

Former F16 and USAF Thunderbird Demonstration Team pilot Michelle ‘MACE’ Curran brings us a new picture book, UPSIDE DOWN DREAMS, available for preorder now and release on June 20, 2023, that will motivate and inspire young readers. In this interview, Michelle talks about how being a Thunderbird pilot, reaching countless young women who looked up to her, made her want to continue to inspire girls to pursue their dreams with a book that puts them at the center. We talk about how she brought this book to life, and then dive into her path to aviation and the Thunderbirds, what it was like to be on the team during Covid, and the stress of pulling nine G’s for a living. In her new life, Michelle is a motivational speaker who talks about overcoming self-doubt and taking risks to fulfill your potential. Anyone who listens to this interview will be inspired, and hopefully will both buy the book for their young readers, and schedule Michelle for their next keynote event. You can find Michelle on LinkedIn, Instagram and at her website www.MACECurran.com.
