You're not failing because of lack of skill or effort. You're failing because of patterns you picked up before you were old enough to choose them. Dr. Kevin Mays, leadership coach and author of Lead Yourself First, built a career helping executives see that the behaviors driving their success are often the exact same ones quietly sabotaging what they're trying to build.What You'll LearnWhy childhood patterns like people-pleasing and humor as a deflection tool show up in the boardroom decades laterHow to shift from being run by unconscious programming to making intentional choices from a place of presenceThe difference between geographic disruption and internal disruption, and why the latter is the harder and more powerful pathHow to reprogram your subconscious using 'I am' statements rather than 'I would like' statementsWhy comfort is the true enemy of growth, and what to do about it when you're not at rock bottomWhat it really means to step into the void with no plan B and why that clarity can change everythingAbout the Guest:Dr. Kevin Mays is a leadership coach, speaker, and author based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Through his company, Upgrade Your Leadership, he works with executives and founders to uncover the unconscious patterns holding them back and develop the self-awareness needed to lead at a higher level.

Inside this episode with your host, Mitch HamptonMark Winters has had thus far a remarkable run of careers by any estimation. After spending the first part of his life ensconced in the worlds of NASA, aerospace and the sciences he made the dramatic decision in his thirties to become a singer songwriter, one of whose signature songs is explicitly about “what it means to be human”, like the tagline for our podcast. I found Winters a most engaging conversationalist, bringing the good vibes he cherishes to the discussion in as plentiful supply as can be heard in his music.Mr. Winters BioTexas-based rock singer-songwriter Mark Winters is many things; a witty poet, passionate musician, entrepreneur, optimist, family man, and a bonafide rocket scientist. He first picked up a guitar to play a song for his wife on their anniversary. That's when he discovered the joy of connecting with people through music. Mark combines music, poetry, a science background, and love for his community to form his signature sound, “rock with a positive vibe.”His musical roots are in rock, blues rock, and pop, and John Mayer, Tom Petty, and Jason Mraz are significant influences. “My music starts from a place of poetry and creative inspiration, and I use my ‘rocket-scientist brain' to find structures that help me explore that initial burst of inspiration and feeling – like writing haikus, my favorite! My grandmother taught me to express myself through poetry and I'm thankful to her for setting me on this creative and expressive path.”Mark has a degree in Aerospace, Aeronautical, and Astronautical Engineering, and his math and science background guides his musical explorations. He likes taking complex things such as emotions and expressing them in a way that's easy to understand. Balancing his right-brained creativity with his analytical left-brain is part of a life-long journey; music is one more place where he can explore this balance.Since his debut album “Slipstream” in 2019 he's garnered numerous positive reviews, has been placed on hundreds of playlists, and racked up over a million streams worldwide. He's poised to continue this success with his sophomore album, “Boundary Layer.” Boundary Layer showcases the intersection of Mark's scientific mind and his passion for positivity and good works. This album is a tribute to those who have helped Mark break out of life's “normal” boundaries and pursue the person he was meant to be. His goal with this new record is to inspire others to break through barriers in their lives and to use emotional connections and energy to move in the direction they were meant to go. Scientifically, a boundary layer is the place on an object in a moving fluid where things can either start moving or stand still.He and his beloved wife have always had compassion for people in the world and believe it's important to give back to your community. Mark enjoys mentoring entrepreneurs like himself, and donates a lot of his time to philanthropic organizations throughout the Houston area.Each song on his first album is an emotional story about his life's journey's. Slipstream is the stream of air behind any moving object, usually in the context of making the effort of moving behind someone easier for everyone, like birds flying in a v-formation flock. This is the feeling Mark experienced while working with the incredible musicians and producers who helped create the album. “Musically, the songs on SlipStream run the gamut from straight guitar-based classic rock to bluesier jams, pop metal, Beach Boys-type ballads, and psychedelia. There's even a mini-rap in one number.” - The Houston Press#rock #johnmayer #tompetty #guitar #song #blues #rock #folk #lifelonglearning #psychology #math #science #nasa #aerospace #transportation #california #texas #love #romance #marriage #technology #humanity #vocal #acoustic #piano #caroleking #jonimitchell #tinydesk #itsnevertoolate #algebra #computer #internet #socialmedia #algorithm

Mark Winters Vroom Vroom Veer Show Summary Jeffery and Mark discussed Mark's music career and upcoming tours. Mark shared details about his "Good Vibes Highway Tour" in the spring and a fall tour, as well as plans to release new music in March and May. He expressed his passion for both music and his previous career as an aerospace engineer, describing how music has become a fulfilling passion project for him. Mark's Diverse Interests and Career Mark shared his diverse background, including his studies as an aerospace engineer and his passion for poetry, which he pursued as a personal hobby with his grandmother. He discussed his work in the aerospace industry, including his experience with simulation design and training for projects like the Apache and F-16 aircraft. Mark also mentioned his appreciation for music and how it played a significant role in his life, regardless of the activity he was engaged in. Mark's Guitar Learning Journey Mark shared his personal story of taking up guitar playing in 2011 as a New Year's resolution to play a song for his wife's anniversary. He approached Steve at Smack Guitars, who agreed to teach him both playing and singing, despite Mark's complete lack of musical experience. Mark chose to learn "What You Give" by Tesla, a song that resonated with him about giving rather than receiving, though he acknowledged it was challenging both to play and sing. Music's Power to Connect Mark shared his experience of learning to play guitar and performing a song for his wife at a restaurant, which led to a profound emotional connection and realization of music's power to create meaningful experiences. He described how he initially struggled with remembering chords and lyrics simultaneously but found a creative solution by hiding them inside an anniversary card. The story concluded with Mark reflecting on how this experience in 2011 changed his perspective on music as a powerful means of connection, prompting him to continue learning guitar. Forming the Band Agave Report Mark shared his experience of forming a band called Agave Report with Manish, a talented musician he met who played guitar and sang beautifully. They recruited a drummer and bass player to form a garage band, with Mark initially taking on the role of lead guitarist and backing vocalist. The band played eclectic covers including songs by The Doors, Eagles, and modern artists like Neon Trees, performing their first show in 2014 or 2015. Mark's Musical Journey and Adaptation Mark shared his musical journey, starting with a band where he struggled to sing certain songs due to personal reasons, leading him to write his own music in 2018. He released his first album in 2019 and faced challenges during a tour when COVID-19 hit, but adapted by performing online. Post-COVID, he focused on acoustic music and connected with other singer-songwriters, eventually growing his audience and performing at venues like the House of Blues Bronze Peacock Room in Houston. Mark emphasized the importance of connecting with his audience and the positive impact his music has had on people's lives. Music Industry Challenges and Opportunities Mark discussed his experiences as a musician, particularly in Houston and Las Vegas, noting the challenges small to mid-sized venues face due to economic viability issues post-COVID. He highlighted the need for musicians to be versatile and self-sufficient, mentioning the importance of community engagement and the DIY approach in the current music industry.

Segment 13 — MIT and Espionage: Shumovski Targets American Aviation and Mass Production Secrets — Svetlana Lokhova — Soviet agents including Stanislav Shumovski systematically targeted crucial American industrial and aeronautical secrets. Shumovski focused on acquiring advanced bomber designs, particularly high-altitude variants, and studying Ford's mass production methodologies to enable Soviet armament manufacturing using unskilled labor. Classmate Chernowski, however, began meeting American Trotskyites, developing plots against Stalin that would later prove catastrophic. 1934IP                    

One of the world's most enduring organizations, the United States Marine Corps, celebrates its 250th birthday on November 10th, 2025. The Marines have deep, rich tradition and, remarkably, the Marine Corps has been able to innovate while reinventing itself over the course of its history. In this interview, Col. Ben Davenport (Ret.) discusses what makes the Marine Corps unique. He shares why he believes the Marine Corps is so resilient and has maintained its relevance throughout its history. Ben also discusses what leaders in business can learn from the Marine Corps culture, discipline, and approach to leading through uncertainty. Ben also looks into the future while sharing what he believes the next 25 to 50 years will look like for the Marines. In a sign that “imitation is the sincerest form of flatter,” Ben finishes the conversation by talking about how other countries have attempted to pattern portions of their militaries after the United States Marine Corps. Ben Davenport retired from active duty following 25 years in the United States Marine Corps. He is a Naval Aviator, an operational planner, and an Olmsted Scholar. He graduated from the University of Washington with a Bachelor's of Science in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering; Masters of Art in International Law and Chinese Diplomacy and Foreign Policy from Fudan University, People's Republic of China; Masters of Art in Operational Studies from Marine Corps University; Graduate from the School of Advanced Warfighting (SAW), and Graduate from the Grand Strategy program with a Master of Strategic studies from Air University.Ben is currently serving as the Deterrence Analyst and Strategic Advisor on China with NATO Allied Command Transformation, one of two Bi-Strategic Operational Commands within the NATO Alliance.

In this episode, I speak to Jody Appolis, airport engineer who heads NACO's business development unit in sub-Saharan Africa and Adam Ekman Pedersen who is Airport Commerce and customer experience lead. Supported by the infographic below, we are focused on African airports and the hot topic of non-aeronautical revenues. We look at how Africa compares to the global average and discuss some potential solutions to address this. Together, we discuss: The difference between aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues How does Africa compare to the global average in terms of the ratio between the two?  Does the overperformance of duty-free in Africa indicate a lack of decent alternative shopping or simply a compelling duty-free offering?  How can the retail offering be improved and what role does the customer experience play in developing non-aeronautical revenues?  How do we cater for Gen Z travellers and their preferences?

NBAA, with input from its Emerging Technologies Committee, Access Committee and Advanced Air Mobility Roundtable, recently joined with other industry partners to declare there are good reasons for the FAA not to use the term advanced air mobility in the agency's proposed revised definition of aeronautical activity. The post Podcast: Should Aeronautical Activity Be Redefined? appeared first on NBAA - National Business Aviation Association.

Welcome to the Part Time Pilot Audio Ground School Podcast! This podcast is going to be all about providing student pilots with ANOTHER way that they can consume the Private Pilot curriculum. The #1 reason student pilots never end up becoming a private pilot is NOT due to money. The real reason is actually deeper than that. Yes, flight training is expensive. But every student pilot knows this and budgets for it when they decide to do it. The actual #1 reason a student pilot fails is because they do not have a good, fundamental understanding of the private pilot knowledge they are meant to learn in ground school. You see when a student does not have a good grasp of this knowledge they get to a point in their flight training where their mind just can't keep up. They start making mistakes and having to redo lessons. And THAT is when it starts getting too expensive. This audio ground school is meant for the modern day student pilot... aka the part time student pilot. Let's face it, the majority of us have full time responsibilities on top of flight training. Whether it is a job, kids, family, school, etc. we all keep ourselves busy with the things that are important to us. And with today's economy we have to maintain that job just to pay for the training. The modern day student pilot is busy, on the go and always trying to find time throughout his or her day to stay up on their studies. The audio ground school allows them to consume high quality content while walking, running, working out, sitting in traffic, traveling, or even just a break from the boring FAR/AIM or ground school lecture. Did I meant high quality content? The audio ground school is taken straight out of the 5-star rated Part Time Pilot Online Ground School that has had over 350 students take and pass their Private Pilot exams without a SINGLE STUDENT FAILING. We do this by keeping ground school engaging, fun, light and consumable. We have written lessons, videos, audio lessons, live video lessons, community chats, quizzes, practice tests, flash cards, study guides, eBooks and much more. Part Time Pilot was created to be a breath of fresh air for student pilots. To be that flight training provider that looks out for them and their needs. So that is just what we are doing with this podcast.   Episode 78: In this episode, we finish off our lesson on aeronautical charts. We talk about sectional and terminal area charts, what they are and how to use them. In addition, we break down each and every symbol you'll need to know on the chart and what information that symbol holds. We also talk about the live lessons we are doing over the next few weeks and how you can join us over Zoom!   Links mentioned in the episode: Online Ground School: https://parttimepilot.com/private-pilot-online-ground-school/?utm_source=podcast Ultimate Private Pilot Test Prep Book: https://amzn.to/40LSyLM Part Time Pilot study group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/parttimepilot    Spring Scholarship GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/a8238e72  Live Lesson Sign Up: https://parttimepilot.com/free-private-pilot-ground-study-live-lessons/      10% Off PlaneEnglish Aviation Radio Simulator App: Use Coupon Code PARTTIME10.
