Episode 196 - Chris Kruger - Black Hawk Helicopters, Multiple Deployments, Anger and Fear, Lessons for DadsAbout the authorChris Kruger grew up just outside Spokane, Washington, and joined the Army before turning 21, driven by a sense of purpose and a thirst for challenge. Over the next 22 years, he forged a diverse and demanding military career—starting as an infantryman and eventually becoming a Blackhawk maintenance test pilot. His journey took him from Basic Training and Airborne School at Fort Benning to Fort Bragg, North Carolina, where he completed an impressive lineup of elite training programs, including Amphibious Reconnaissance School, Ranger School, HALO and HALO Jumpmaster, and Flight School, among others. Along the way, he earned the Expert and Combat Infantryman Badges, a Bronze Star, a Meritorious Service Medal, and several other honors. Chris deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Far East, spending more than five and a half years overseas—experiences that deeply shaped his outlook on leadership, resilience, and life. After retiring, he turned to writing as a way to unpack and give meaning to those intense years. What began as personal reflection quickly became a mission to reach others walking similar paths. Today, Chris lives in Huntsville, Alabama, with his wife Genevieve and their two daughters, Charlize and Isabelle—writing from a place of survival, strength, and connection. Together, Chris and Genevieve are active in their local church and committed to encouraging others to overcome life's hardships, expanding their reach through writing and a forthcoming podcast aimed at inspiring healing, faith, and perseverance.Book: Walking Away from the Ledge: A Soldier's MemoirWalking Away from the Ledge is a hard-hitting, no-BS military memoir that goes beyond the battlefield to expose the raw truth of war, survival, and self-destruction. With an unapologetic voice and brutal honesty, Chris takes readers deep inside the challenging world of an Army Ranger, the brotherhood that holds soldiers together, and the personal demons that threaten to tear them apart.More than a war story, this book is about what happens when the fight doesn't end—the toll of combat, the grip of addiction, and the struggle to hold onto love when everything else is falling apart. This memoir hits hard, digs deep, and refuses to look away.https://a.co/d/4nhPNiR___https://dadspace.camusic provided by Blue Dot SessionsSong: The Big Ten https://app.sessions.blue/browse/track/258270

In this episode of Productivity Smarts, host Gerald J. Leonard dives into an engaging conversation with Don Eggspuehler, author of Letters to Mom: Marine Corps – Boot Camp – Flight School – Vietnam. They explore Don's journey from a Marine Corp fighter pilot to a successful software executive and writer. The discussion highlights the transformative power of journaling, storytelling, and resilience in navigating life's challenges. Don shares the profound impact of military discipline on his productivity and personal balance, and offers invaluable advice for leaders striving to maintain equilibrium between high-stake responsibilities and personal well-being. The episode also shines a light on Don's latest book, offering listeners a unique glimpse into the poignant letters he wrote to his mother during his service, which have become a source of inspiration and healing for many. What We Discuss [00:00] Introduction to Don Eggspuehler [04:54] The Power of Letter Writing and Storytelling [10:57] Balancing Life and Work [21:26] Reflections and Final Thoughts [29:18] Conclusion and Call to Action Notable Quotes [06:08] " Writing letters is kind of a lost art. Most people don't write letters anymore, and it's so important." – Don Eggspuehler [13:10] " As you're going through life, sometimes a lot of stuff happens that we have no control over, but it's not what happens, it's how we deal with what happens now." – Gerald J. Leonard [15:09] “ Be persistent and don't get too upset over things. Keep things even keel and go with the flow a little bit, 'cause in life you're gonna have a lot of situations that are big surprises, and you really don't have any control over that. It's how you react.” – Don Eggspuehler [22:41] " We have the freedom and the ability to have experiences with our loved ones that we care about." – Gerald J. Leonard [24:57] " Life doesn't always go the way you want it to, no matter what you do. It throws you into some situations that you really weren't seeing coming." – Don Eggspuehler Our Guest Don Eggspuehler is a retired Marine Corps officer, author, and former computer software executive. Originally from Iowa Falls, Iowa, he served in Vietnam as a combat pilot flying A-6A jets.

Send us a textFrom growing up in a Gandhian school in India, to serving ten years in the Indian Army, to founding a thriving flight school in South Florida, Yogini “Yogi” Modi's journey in aviation is extraordinary.In this interview, Yogi shares how her father's encouragement sparked her passion for flying, how she became one of the Indian Army's microlight pilots, and how she has dedicated her career to training and mentoring the next generation of aviators — many of them women from India who return home to join the airlines.We also talk about:Her leadership style, shaped by her Army serviceThe unique strength of India's women pilots (15% of the commercial workforce — the highest in the world)Her role as chair of the Gold Coast chapter of the Ninety-NinesAttending Harvard's Women in Aviation Leadership ProgramHer vision for expanding her school and scholarships to support future aviators

Max Trescott teams up with Tom Turner—executive director of the American Bonanza Society's Air Safety Foundation—to help listener Marc Brodecki weigh options for earning his private pilot certificate. Marc, a 39-year-old aerospace engineer in Los Angeles with glider experience, is evaluating three flight training options: a nearby tailwheel-focused school (that includes a Stearman), a larger flight school at Torrance using Sling aircraft, or buying and learning in the Beechcraft Bonanza he eventually wants to own. Tom provides extensive guidance on Bonanza ownership. He discusses which Bonanza models (S-35 or early V-35) fit Marc's $100–$150k budget and breaks down the real-world operating costs—including fuel, maintenance, insurance, tie-downs, and the potential for large, deferred maintenance costs. He stresses that insurance for student pilots in complex aircraft like Bonanzas can be a barrier and suggests checking with brokers early. Max adds that avionics upgrades are costly and advises finding an aircraft that already has the equipment you need. Tom and Max both support training in a Bonanza—if done right. Benefits include gaining type-specific proficiency, leading to greater safety and a stronger insurance profile. However, they caution that older Bonanzas may lack dual controls and copilot brakes, which are required for instruction and checkrides. Installing these features can be expensive and difficult, making them a potential dealbreaker. Max recommends looking for experienced Bonanza instructors, such as those certified through ABS's Flight Instructor Academy. Marc also asks about learning in tailwheel aircraft and transitioning later to a Bonanza. Tom says that's a viable and fun route—especially if the nearby school makes frequent training easy. Both guests emphasize that the convenience of the training location often matters more than the training aircraft. Flying regularly helps students retain skills and progress faster. The discussion also touches on partnerships to reduce ownership costs, the hidden expenses of ownership (like California's use tax), and how to vet good instructors. Max compares the CFI relationship to psychotherapy—it must be built on trust. A red flag is any instructor who pretends to know everything rather than admitting when they need to look something up. As for timing, both Tom and Max encourage Marc to begin instrument training soon after earning his private certificate. In cloud-prone California, that rating increases safety and utility, and the sooner it's earned, the easier the transition. To wrap up, Max reminds Marc not to get stuck in “analysis paralysis.” While his engineering mindset may drive him to seek the perfect solution, the key is choosing a path that's good enough and lets him start flying soon—and enjoy the journey.

It is not a secret that Arizona averages more than 300 sunny days per year. It is part of the reason why people move here in the first place. Yes it's hot -- like really hot -- but there are no tornados, hurricanes and most importantly, snow. (for the most part) But that's not the only reason why Arizona has become a hot spot of future pilots. And it's long history with aviation goes beyond the current rise. The state had the first international airport of the Americas dating all the way back to 1928.
