*FAN MAIL: Text Greg your comments!Flight instructing offers some of the most rewarding flying there is. We experience the joy of fulfilling our students' dreams of flight, become better pilots ourselves in the process, and develop lifelong friendships with many of those we teach. But among hours and hours of routine teaching and flying, there are occasional hard lessons, too, most often unanticipated. And those hard lessons are generally even more eye-opening and profound for us instructors than for our students. Above all, we learn that while maintaining a relaxed cockpit learning environment, we must never become complacent. Okay, everyone, hop aboard my Flying Carpet, buckle into the pilot's seat, and prepare for takeoff on Flight Number 36, “Bowling Alley Hot Dogs.” Support the showhttps://gregbrownflyingcarpet.com/podcast/https://www.facebook.com/GregBrownFlyingCarpet/https://www.instagram.com/gregbrownflyingcarpet/

The Deal Scout Newsletter: Jason's Journey from Ocala to the Skies and BeyondHello, fellow dealmakers!I'm thrilled to share the latest episode of "The Deal Scout" with you. This time, I had the pleasure of reconnecting with Jason, an inspiring entrepreneur from my hometown of Ocala, Florida. His story is a testament to resilience, innovation, and the power of leveraging opportunities. Here are some key takeaways and intriguing insights from our conversation that you won't want to miss:Key Lessons and Ideas:Early Influences and Entrepreneurial Spirit: Jason grew up in an entrepreneurial family, learning the ropes of customer service and sales from his parents' pest control business. His unique perspective on success was shaped by observing the lifestyles of both wealthy and struggling clients.The Power of Self-Improvement: While his peers played video games, Jason was busy with personal development, listening to audiobooks by Zig Ziglar and John Maxwell while mowing lawns. This early focus on self-improvement set the foundation for his future success.From Flight Instructor to Business Owner: Jason's passion for flying led him to become a flight instructor at a young age. Realizing the disparity in earnings, he invested his savings in buying his first airplane, viewing it as an asset to generate income.Leveraging Online Platforms: Faced with the challenge of scaling his business, Jason turned to YouTube and GoPro cameras to film and share his flight lessons online. This innovative approach allowed him to reach a broader audience and build a successful online aviation education business.Overcoming Adversity: Jason faced significant financial challenges, including a near foreclosure and an engine failure during a flight lesson. These adversities pushed him to focus solely on his online platform, leading to the growth and success of his business.Transition to Financial Literacy: After selling his aviation business, Jason and his wife founded Moolah, a fintech company aimed at providing financial literacy and investment tools.Intriguing Moments:First Airplane Purchase**: At 18, instead of buying a truck, Jason bought an airplane, seeing it as an investment to leverage his business.Moolah's Vision**: The goal of Moolah is not just to offer banking and investment services but to educate users on financial stewardship, drawing from Jason's personal experiences.Next Steps Share your thoughts with a review - https://www.thedealscout.com/reviews/ Let's connect on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuabrucewilson/ Subscribe and Watch on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBQN_Y3nhDGClfMxCSBDjOg Disclaimer: The content shared on this podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be taken as financial, legal, or tax advice.

In Episode 20 of 'Pilots Say What?', we chat with a newly minted Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) who recently made the leap from student to instructor. He shares his experiences during the transition, the challenges he faced, and valuable tips for future students who aspire to follow in his footsteps. Whether you're on your way to becoming a flight instructor or just starting your journey, this episode provides firsthand insights and advice to help you succeed.
Welcome to another exciting episode of "Fly the Transition"! On this episode, I am welcome Tyler Smith, former police officer turned CFI. Tyler had early dreams of aviation, but the finances of college and training put that dream out of reach. He would become a police officer, training officer, and SWAT Operator with his department. His exposure to a nearby airport reignited his passion. He would work in Airport Operations while working on his ratings, and ultimately became a flight instructor. He talks about his transition and the parallels between his two careers.

Today's guests are Oliver Heys and James Bassam of Surf Life Saving. Surf Life Saving is Australia's premier water safety, drowning prevention, and rescue organization. With 129 Surf Life Saving Clubs and over 77,000 members, it's one of the largest not-for-profit volunteer movements in Australia, dedicated to saving lives on the beach. A standout feature within Surf Life Saving is the Australian Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle Service, operating the largest coastal UAV surveillance program in the Southern Hemisphere. The Australian UAV Services uses drones to monitor sharks off the coast of New South Wales, enhancing bather protection while minimizing harm to sharks and other marine life. Oliver, Surf Life Savings Chief Remote Pilot & Capability Coordinator, oversees regulatory compliance and brings a wealth of experience since joining the organization in 2020. Oliver's dedication to the UAV industry earned him a finalist spot for the Remotely Piloted Aircraft Professional of the Year at the Australian Aviation Safety Awards in 2023. James is the Australian UAV Service Operations Manager for Safety and Compliance. With a background in crewed aviation and roles as a Commercial Pilot, Flight Instructor, and Head Teacher of Aviation, James leads the operational delivery team. He has spearheaded numerous projects to enhance the capabilities of the Australian UAV Service. In 2023, Surf Life Saving introduced long-range drones to monitor the coastal waters of New South Wales. This cost-effective, non-invasive technology has been successful in ensuring the safety of swimmers and surfers while minimizing the impact on marine life. The public response has been overwhelmingly positive, with increased confidence in water safety where UAVs are deployed.
