Hours after that Air India crash in which one person miraculously survived, a Jet Blue flight missed the runway while landing in Boston!

Cool weekend weather for Father's Day weekend. An Air India flight crashed into a neighborhood; 241 passengers were killed as well as others on the ground. One lone passenger did survive the crash. Isreal launched an attack on Iran's nuclear and military sights. Iran's two highest ranking military officers have been killed. Closing arguments for the Karen Read trial start today. The judge ruled the defense cannot use third party culprit defense. A Jet Blue flight from Chicago to Boston slid off the runway at Boston Logan; no one was injured, but it caused a ground stop on all flights that afternoon. Oilers and Panthers played last night, the Oilers tied up the series with a win in overtime. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were in the crowd. Tom Brady is unveiling a bronze statue at Gillette Stadium on August 8th.

The future of carbon conversion. We cover the global energy race, turning CO2 into biofuels, propelling interplanetary travel, modular military refueling stations, and the future of clean energy. Guiding us will be Greg Constantine CEO of AIRCO, one of the most ambitious startups reimagining the role of carbon in our economy and climate future. Headquartered in New York, AIRCO has developed a proprietary technology that captures carbon dioxide and converts it into high-value products, including sustainable aviation fuel, rocket fuel, and even consumer-grade ethanol. Rather than burying carbon underground, AIRCO turns it into something useful—fueling commercial flights, defense operations, and potentially even Mars missions. To date, AIRCO has raised over $100 million from a roster of strategic investors including Carbon Direct Capital, Patriot Capital, Toyota, JetBlue, and has secured large contracts from the U.S. Department of Defense and NASA—including recent work on developing rocket fuel from the Martian atmosphere. Greg Constantine brings a rare blend of operating and investing experience—previously holding senior roles at Diageo and serving as a venture partner at LocalGlobe, where he backed early-stage deep tech and climate companies. Now, he’s at the helm of one of the most frontier-pushing climate startups in the world, blending advanced chemistry, automation, and strategic focus to rewire how we think about carbon.

Episode 57: Show Notes. Sometimes you just need to do some travel banter! And who better to do it with than TravelZork Travel's Michael Trager? In today's conversation, we discuss our recent travel experiences and dig into the nitty gritty of points, upgrades, flight paths, and so much more. To kick things off, we hear all about Michael's recent trip to Madrid and the benefits of American Airlines' ConciergeKey status, which Michael has access to thanks to his wife, Ellen! We then discuss optimal flight paths to Europe from different parts of the US, why JetBlue is on the naughty list this week, and how to optimize your next trip to Vegas. Next, we explore the flagship lounge and dining experience on different airlines, before discussing why it sometimes makes sense to pay for travel (because you can't do everything on points) and the exceptional cases where we break our own rules. We also dive into Marriott points and benefits, including getting the fifth night free, the challenges of hotel hopping, and the importance of a positive arrival experience; especially if you have your family in tow. Finally, Michael tells us the essential details and updates for ZorkFest 2025, including the festival's four-star accommodation, their new miles and points labs, their epic foodie and beverage dining experience, the speakers they have lined up, and much more.

Why Build a Breakaway Brand?With the current noise in the marketplace, gaining visibility is nearly impossible without standing out. A breakaway brand redefines the market and creates emotional connections, not just transactions. Think brands like Apple, Nike, Volkswagen, JetBlue, and Starbucks. They don't just have enthusiastic customers—they have devoted fans. If your brand can't build this connection, you'll often find yourself competing solely on price.Key Strategies for Breakaway BrandingBe Driven by Purpose, Not ProductGreat brands lead with 'why,' not 'what.' They inspire customers with a larger vision. Take Patagonia, for example; it's not just about clothing but environment and activism. Define your 'why,' make it visible, and let it drive your brand.Focus on Experience Over ExposureVisibility isn't enough; memorable experiences build lasting value. Consider how unboxing an Apple product feels like an event. Audit your customer journey to ensure every interaction with your brand is memorable.Own a Distinctive Point of ViewBreakaway brands challenge industry norms. Consider Liquid Death, a brand with a rebellious voice for selling water. What industry belief can you challenge with your brand?Build a Consistent Brand CultureYour internal culture shapes your external reputation. Brands like Zappos, with their stellar customer service culture, show that a strong internal culture is crucial. Whether you have a big team or not, consistent brand culture is vital for scalability.Tell a Story People Want to JoinYour brand's story should invite customers to be part of a journey. Nike's “Just Do It” isn't just about shoes—it's about empowering individuals. Rewrite your brand story with your customers as the hero, like the Phoenix emblem I use in my business to symbolize evolution and potential.Building a breakaway brand requires a focus on purpose, experience, perspective, culture, and storytelling. Think about how you can differentiate yourself and eliminate your competition by embracing these strategies. Your brand is unique, and so is the mission that drives it. By cultivating a breakaway brand, you inspire not only your customers but also yourself and your team. Join me tomorrow as we continue our journey to empowerment with an episode from the Franklin Planner Podcast. I hope today's insights inspire you to elevate your branding game.Thanks for listening. I appreciate you joining us for this episode.George Wright III

Max talks with Dr. Tony Kern about human error, airmanship, and the hidden threats pilots pose to themselves. Tony shares how his passion for understanding error began with the tragic loss of two of his former B-1 bomber students in 1992. The crash, attributed to "a failure of airmanship," prompted him to research the elusive meaning of that term—work that eventually led to his book Redefining Airmanship. Beyond medical transport, they assist military veterans by flying them to camps designed for rehabilitation, as well as special events like Major League Baseball games. They also provide commercial airline tickets, through partnerships with JetBlue and Southwest, as backup transportation. Tony emphasizes that even the best pilots are “one decision away from disaster” and discusses how errors often don't result in negative outcomes, which falsely reinforces bad habits. He introduces the concept of a “personal fingerprint of error” and advocates tracking errors—both in and out of the cockpit—to identify behavioral patterns. The conversation also touches on complacency, fatigue, and how inexperienced team members can sometimes better sense danger than veterans. He recalls the Thirtymile Fire as a case study in poor decision-making and leadership under stress. Tony concludes by stressing the instructor's responsibility not to pass along a faulty product, and encourages pilots to be relentless students of their own behavior. He also shares resources from his company, Convergent Performance, and his books, podcast, and LinkedIn newsletter.
