Podcasts about Flight instructor

*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.

This is a special extra episode to help some friends out! We want to support Captain Emma and Brian Morris promote their great new product. #fearofflying #lovefly www.lovefly.aero FB - Lovefly Insta - @loveflyhelp YouTube - @loveflyteam  Intro music 'Fearless' Daniel King   Brian Morris, Co-Creator of Flight Deck I used to have an extreme fear of flying. It held me back from so many incredible opportunities. I found myself constantly making excuses to avoid getting on a plane. I would make up reasons why I couldn't go on work trips. I would convince family and friends that it would be more fun to go on road trips rather than fly. That all changed when I couldn't convince a group of friends to ride in a car for three days to attend a friend's wedding that I was officiating. I desperately searched the internet looking for help. I stumbled upon Lovefly, an online fear of flying community created by the amazing Paul Tizzard.  Lovefly's  30-day online program was exactly what I needed to conquer my fear. You can find Lovefly at www.lovefly.co.uk I devoured the course materials, listened to podcasts, and connected with fellow fearful flyers in Facebook groups.  Paul also suggested I hire Emma Henderson, an airline Captain, to help me with the last little bit fear that was hanging on just days prior to the flight.  Emma answered all of my questions and expertly put my mind at ease. The morning of the flight she called me and gave me a pep talk.  I was able to get on the flight that day and I made it to my friends beautiful wedding. After I returned Captain Emma asked me what helped me the most. I told her about hand written 3x5 flashcards that I created and took on the flight with me. The flashcards were like having a pilot in my pocket. The cards had all of the steps of a commercial flight listed on them.  They gave me the knowledge and confidence I needed to fly without being afraid. They reassured and reminded me what I was hearing and feeling on the plane was completely normal. The flashcards walked me through every step of the flight.  Emma suggested I make the flashcards available to other fearful flyers.  She helped me technically fine tune the flashcards, then we had them professionally printed and packaged, then we made them available to the world! Flight Deck Fear of Flying Flashcards was born!
