World’s First Pilot Born Without Arms: Jessica Cox

Rob Konrad: Conversations With Extraordinary People #005

When Jessica Cox was born without both arms, her parents didn’t grieve. In fact, her father has never shed a single tear over his daughter’s life-altering disability. Instead, Jessica’s parents challenged her to be great.

And that’s exactly what she did. Jessica is the world’s first, and only, licensed pilot without arms who flies unmodified airplanes with her feet. She is a motivational speaker who has inspired hundreds of thousands of people to overcome their own challenges and to find positivity and strength through their struggles. In addition to all that, she is a Taekwondo black belt, has received a personal blessing from the Pope, a scuba diver and a parachuter.

In this uplifting episode of “Rob Konrad: Conversations”, Jessica tells Rob all about how she came to see her physical limitations as an opportunity to bring hope to others. You’ll discover how she cultivates fearlessness and uses her T.H.I.N.K principle to tackle seemingly impossible challenges (Tear up the challenge. Heighten awareness. Insist on asking the question “how?” rather than asking the question “can?”. Non-stop re-evaluating, repurposing or reinventing. Kick the habit of excuses) . She’ll also answer a burning question many people are dying to ask her: if she could choose to have arms, would she want them?
