Justin "Hasard" Lee is a #2 Wall Street Journal bestselling author on leadership and decision-making. He is the only fighter pilot to fly jets from two squadrons into combat on the same day, providing critical support to troops under fire.

On the leadership front, Hasard is a decorated U.S. Air Force fighter pilot who led pilots into combat on over 80 missions. He is the only pilot to fly jets from two different squadrons into combat on the same day, providing critical support to troops under fire. He was then hand-picked to fly the F-35―the most advanced fighter aircraft―which was still in development at the time. He was then selected to become an instructor, where he taught hundreds of fighter pilots the art and science of leadership and decision-making.

In his culminating role on active duty, Hasard became the Chief of Training Systems for the Air Force’s largest training base. There he led an AI transformation that enabled pilots to be trained faster and with higher proficiency, a methodology that has since been adopted by air forces around the world.

Hasard’s book, The Art of Clear Thinking, became one of the top books of the year as the #2 Wall Street Journal bestseller and has been translated into over 15 languages. Drawing from his high-stakes background, Hasard now equips organizations to navigate change and uncertainty. He partners with a wide spectrum of organizations—from Fortune 500 leaders like Meta, Google, and Microsoft to innovative startups—transforming how they approach leadership through lessons forged in air combat.
