    Rolling with the Punches — AviatorCast 164
    Dec 18 2021
    Have you seen the classic movies series Rocky? It's incredibly motivational. What makes this story the most compelling of all is the wrestle with that inner struggle we all have -- pain vs gain. When a pilot goes through flight training, self doubt, destructive inner voices, victimhood and excuses are abound. There are absolutely things that will get in your way, barriers to break through. On this episode we'll pump you up with a round of motivation through those hard times. It's the old "when the going gets tough, the tough get going". In this podcast we will discuss: Talk about Rocky! When you get “knocked down” in flight training, or your career How to “get up” How to “keep moving forward” Come join for this fun-filled and motivational podcast.

    Self Doubt & “The Right Stuff” — AviatorCast 162

    All too often I get student pilots that succumb to self doubt. That is, not believing they can make it through flight training or that they don't have what it takes. This is a VERY common occurrence that we all face, so we're going to tackle it head on in today's podcast. In this podcast we will discuss: Enter the mind of a student pilot (you?)  Discuss the self doubt we all face The CFI Perspective on Student Progress  What to do with that self doubt If you're going through self doubt of your own, you for sure need to listen to this episode.

  • It’s NOT Worth It — AviatorCast 159

    It’s NOT Worth It — AviatorCast 159
    Sep 17 2021
    They say "build your time" and "pay your dues". But in aviation, is it worth giving EVERYTHING up for that ultimate dream? Or are there limits to the insanity we should put ourselves through? In this podcast we will discuss: The typical path followed in an aviation career The Good part of growing in a career The bad or dark side of building time, hours, and experience Is everything really everything, and nothing else matters? What a successful and meaningful aviation career SHOULD look like This is wisdom that I feel a lot of aviators should know before getting into a difficult job or an untenable situation.
