"But I'm really grateful. I had so much time to make mistakes, look stupid, look cringe, not know what I'm doing — so that when the opportunity arose, I was ready to go. I knew who I was, and I was ready to hit it." Cody Rigsby is undoubtedly one of the most popular — and most loved — fitness instructors on the planet. With a big personality, endless sass, and pop-heavy playlists, it's not surprising that Cody's Peloton classes are taken by millions. (From Pink to Prime Ministers, you're likely to see some buzzy names on the leaderboard during any given Cody class.) Since rising to superstardom, Cody has published a book, competed on Dancing With the Stars (he and pro partner Cheryl Burke finished third in 2021), and become a celebrity in his own right. In this conversation, Cody talks about his love/hate relationship with running, about his perspective on relationships in 2026, and about how he got the job at Peloton.  SPONSOR:  Lagoon. My favorite pillows and pillowcases! Click here to get the limited edition Ali on the Run x Lagoon Cool Flex Performance Pillowcase (!!!), and use code ALI at checkout for 15% off.

SUMMARY In this conversation, Jeremy and Andrew are joined by past guest of the show Gerry Disanto to discuss the myths and realities of being a black belt in martial arts. They explore common misconceptions, such as the idea that black belts are perfect or that they have mastered all skills. The discussion also delves into the feelings of imposter syndrome that many martial artists experience, the pressures of being an instructor, and the challenges of balancing personal life with martial arts commitments. The speakers emphasize the importance of authenticity, community, and the need for open conversations about these topics. They delve into the complexities of martial arts training, focusing on the myths surrounding black belts, the expectations placed on instructors, and the importance of recognizing individual student efforts. They discuss the impact of imposter syndrome on both instructors and students, the necessity of one-on-one interactions for effective teaching, and the misconceptions about financial success in martial arts. The dialogue emphasizes the need for open conversations about the challenges faced in the martial arts community and the importance of networking among instructors to foster growth and understanding.   TAKEAWAYS Imposter syndrome is common among martial artists. Black belts are often seen as perfect, which is unrealistic. Expectations of black belts can lead to feelings of inadequacy. Authenticity in teaching builds trust with students. Running a martial arts school often leads to less personal training time. Community support is crucial for overcoming challenges in martial arts. Black belts are not experts in all areas of life. It's important to admit when you don't know something. Balancing life and martial arts is a common struggle for instructors. The pressure to be the best can lead to burnout. Imposter syndrome affects both instructors and students. Students often attribute their success to their instructors rather than their own efforts. Instructors should encourage students to take credit for their achievements. Sparring can create misconceptions about skill levels among students. One-on-one interactions are crucial for effective teaching and student progress. Understanding the 'why' behind techniques enhances teaching effectiveness. Martial arts instructors should focus on serving their students, not being served. Owning a martial arts school does not guarantee financial success. Networking with other instructors can provide valuable insights and support. Being a black belt does not automatically make someone a great teacher.

Jackie and Diana lead a discussion of what is known about utilizing peer feedback to improve learning and training outcomes. While peer feedback may have worked great when improving typing behavior, how does it support learning in a BST paradigm? And could it ::GULP:: maybe take the place of our sages on the stage approach?

Welcome back to Episode 289 of the Colorado Equals Security podcast with Joe McCallister and Chelsea Weiss! This month, we are hitting the biggest tech and security headlines impacting the Front Range and beyond: Big Tech Moves: Breaking down a massive $100 million federal grant for Broomfield's Quantinuum, Amazon's new 70-acre land grab for an Aurora distribution hub, and a Denver company's long-haul fiber deal with Nvidia. Culture & Infrastructure: How a new Denver Oktoberfest is brewing up serious economic ties with Munich, plus a look at Rowan Digital Infrastructure's $4.2 billion data center project in Texas. The Cyber Frontlines: We unpack the Rockstar Games compromise, the rising threat of AI "vibe coding" creating a new generation of shadow IT, and why modern security leaders must act as business accelerators instead of just playing gatekeeper. Stick around for our comprehensive rundown of September's local security events, including all the details you need for the upcoming Security Leader Summit Six! In this month's wide ranging and candid conversation, Frank sits down with longtime friend and cybersecurity leader Serge CEO of SpyderSec to explore the messy, fascinating, and often uncomfortable realities of modern cybersecurity. Across multiple segments, they dig into: Why pricing in cybersecurity consulting is so chaotic How subcontracting layers distort cost and value Whether U.S. citizens should ever be allowed to “hack back” The ethical responsibility of instructors when teaching offensive tools A real world story of shutting down an unethical classroom exercise The biggest strategic challenge facing CISOs today — and why authority rarely matches accountability This episode blends real experience, tough questions, and honest discussion — exactly what Colorado = Security listeners expect.

What This Work Asks of Therapists: Integration, Not Knowing, and the Capacity to Stay - An Interview with Juliane Taylor Shore, LMFT, LPC, SEP Juliane Taylor Shore, LMFT, LPC, SEP, on therapist integration, not knowing, and the capacity to stay in the room. Curt and Katie talk with Juliane Taylor Shore, LMFT, LPC, SEP, about what determines how much a therapist can do in session. Her answer is not which model you reach for, but how integrated you are while you reach for it. Jules wrote Setting Boundaries That Stick and created the STAIR Method. Jules separates eclectic practice, pulling from whichever training fits the moment, from integrative practice, where one theory of mind and theory of change organizes which tool gets used when. Hers is neurobiological: the brain as an open, dynamic, complex system, most stable and most flexible when its parts stay differentiated and cross-share information. She also names what she thinks training got wrong. Many therapists learned to read client comfort as the measure of their therapeutic presence, a poor gauge when most clients arrive in a threat state. Her alternative is the therapist's own integration, because that is what creates capacity for connection, bonding, and creativity when a session gets hard. In this episode, we discuss: - What separates integrative from eclectic practice - Why client comfort is an unreliable measure of therapeutic presence - How adding compassion to empathy keeps a clinician from fatiguing - What humility and self-kindness predict about client outcomes - How power with differs from power over and power under - Why presence and skill have to be trained in the same state - What grief this job asks therapists to hold Timestamps: - 02:32 - Integrative therapy versus eclectic practice - 05:07 - Theory of mind, theory of change, and integration - 09:10 - What therapists get wrong about presence - 16:27 - Why empathy fatigues and compassion does not - 19:36 - Color shifting and finding felt compassion - 28:11 - PONS: power, of-courseness, not knowing, and self - 35:23 - The salience network, presence, and skill - 38:41 - The grief this work asks you to hold Guest Bio: Juliane Taylor Shore, LMFT, LPC, SEP, is a therapist, author, and teacher who translates neurobiology into practices that support brain change. She wrote Setting Boundaries That Stick, created the STAIR Method, and is an associate Instructor with the Coherence Institute and core faculty with Therapy Wisdom.

Professor Eli Knight returns to The Jiu Jitsu Mindset, and this time we build the conversation around the hero's journey — the call, the crisis, the near-quit, the mentor, and the message he'd leave behind.   Eli is a Royce Gracie black belt and one of the clearest thinkers working in self-defense jiu-jitsu. He talks here about the loss that pushed him into a taekwondo class as a teenager, the cousin who went to jail while he went to martial arts, the year his daughter was born and he nearly walked away from all of it, and why he still isn't sure who he would be without jiu-jitsu.   He also gives one of the best answers we have had on what the art is actually for: "Jiu-jitsu to me is the serenity prayer. It teaches you how to accept things you can't change, how to change things you can, and how to know the difference." And then, at the very end, he takes the whole thing apart again with a bar of soap.   CONNECT WITH PROFESSOR ELI KNIGHT YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KnightJiuJitsu Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knight_jiu_jitsu_ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@knightjiujitsu Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/KnightJiuJitsu Instructionals: https://bjjfanatics.com/collections/eli-knight   THE JIU JITSU MINDSET Website: https://thejiujitsumindset.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheJiuJitsuMindset X: https://x.com/jiujitsumindset Find a school near you: https://thejiujitsumindset.com/pages/jiu-jitsu-schools-near-you   SUPPORTING THE SHOW Submission Coffee — https://submissioncoffee.com  (still not a performance-enhancing drug) My Jiu Jitsu Journey — free to try on the App Store and Google Play    CHAPTERS 00:00 Welcome back — year five of the podcast 00:29 Submission Coffee and the My Jiu Jitsu Journey app 01:25 Professor Eli Knight returns: the hero's journey 03:35 Crisis, loss, and the class that caught him 05:28 The soft kid who learned to face chaos 08:45 Zen, Daoism, and what religion didn't give him 10:03 "He went to jail, I went to martial arts" 11:17 It doesn't make you a good person — it reveals you 12:21 Pete's story: six years old outside Macy's 14:48 The year he almost walked away 18:42 The leap of faith into a martial arts career 20:10 "I'm not 100% sure who I am without jiu-jitsu" 22:19 The mentor: "you're off in the woods looking for Yoda" 25:35 Coaching with real care — Fit to Fight and Ryan Hoover 27:05 Instructor vs. coach: knowing what you are 30:36 When the fighter is already redlining 33:21 Technique vs. principle is a false choice 34:57 What he'd want people to take away 36:56 Jiu-jitsu is the serenity prayer 38:57 The bar of soap   #jiujitsu #bjj #brazilianjiujitsu #selfdefense #eliknight #martialarts #thejiujitsumindset

Daily Boost Podcast Everything Is Possible September 10, 2026 | Episode 5539 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Have you ever had one of those days where you're trying everything and nothing moves? You push, you plan, you show up, and the door still won't open. I've had plenty of them. Today I'm sharing a story about a man I met near the end of his life, a small pin he put on my shirt, and six words he said that I've carried for over 20 years. Those six words changed what I believed was possible. They built everything I have now, one day at a time. Listen. You might need them today. Featured Story The cameras were set. The crew was ready. Grandmaster Lee was late. He'd had a rough night; the cancer was winning, and he'd spent part of it in the hospital. Then the door opened, and he strode in as if nothing had happened and Sat down. Ready. He talked for two hours, and when he was done, he was done. Then something crossed his face. He got up, climbed over cables and light stands to a desk in the back, dug through a drawer, and came back with a little American flag pin that said Instructor. He pinned it to my shirt. I told him I wasn't an instructor. He smiled. Important Points * You're not behind because you're incapable of it; you're behind because you simply haven't started the thing yet. * Every library, business, or body of work you admire got built the same slow, boring way, one single day at a time. * Impossible today and impossible forever are two very different things, and only one of them is ever actually true. Memorable Quotes * Today, not possible. Tomorrow possible. I'll let you add a little Korean accent if you want to hear it. * When I began, only in my heart, like yours, you're just doing it. I'm counting on you to help people your own way. * My entire life, my entire legacy, everything would boil down to 5,500 podcasts, and I ain't anywhere near done yet. Scott's Three-Step Approach * Name the one thing you keep saying you'll start someday, and admit that today's version of it feels impossible. * Do the smallest piece of it today anyway, one call, one page, one recording, and then stop and walk away for now. * Come back and do the same small thing tomorrow, because tomorrow is where impossible quietly turns into possible.

As we continue our “AI With Purpose: Student Pathways to What's Next” series, we are joined by Nicholas Beaudoin, Director of AI Programs at Caltech's Center for Technology and Management Education. He works across industry and education to make artificial intelligence practical and useful for organizations, and he emphasizes that there is no single route into an AI-related career. In this episode, Nicholas explores the expanding range of AI opportunities available to students, including roles in writing, technical documentation, and project management — not only engineering and coding. He encourages students to follow their curiosity, explore passion projects, participate in hackathons, and build community around what excites them most. Whether you pursue an internship, an entry-level role, or another hands-on experience, find out how to stand out as a strong candidate for opportunities with technology companies. ⁠ Nicholas completed his M.I.A. in International Economics at UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy, and he received his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Government at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon. He also serves as AI Program Advisor and Instructor at Caltech's Center for Technology and Management Education, where he designs and leads courses that bring faculty, researchers, and industry practitioners together to teach executives, managers, and engineers how to apply AI strategy and implementation. Alongside this, he has advised Fortune 500 companies and U.S. federal agencies through consulting, with engagements spanning Europe, the Middle East, and East Asia. His background covers hands-on AI/ML engineering, curriculum design, and enterprise strategy, and he has guided organizations from early proof of concept through production deployment.

Episode 264 of the Transition Drill podcast explores law enforcement retirement, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and career transition for police officers and first responders navigating life after the badge. You'll hear Tom Chuckerel on leaving a 25-year police career without a clear second-career plan, and what it takes to turn skills, relationships, and genuine interests into meaningful work after service.Tom wanted to be a Montgomery County police officer from the time he was six. He joined the department in 1994, spent years working patrol in the community where he grew up, became an FTO, and explored narcotics, surveillance, and SWAT before a medical issue unexpectedly redirected his career toward training.That move became pivotal. Tom joined the police academy staff, helped modernize defensive tactics, and brought his growing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu experience into law enforcement training. He'd started training in 1997, eventually became a black belt, taught Jiu Jitsu and Thai boxing, and built a relationship with Rener Gracie while hosting Gracie Survival Tactics (GST) courses.When Tom retired in 2017 and moved to Monterey, California, he still wasn't sure what came next. He considered everything from X-ray tech school to becoming a butcher. Instead, years of training and relationships created opportunities. He ran a Jiu Jitsu school, worked private security and executive protection, and began teaching GST. Today, GST is his primary work, with roughly 150 classes led, allowing him to continue serving law enforcement through teaching, safer arrest-and-control tactics, and the work he genuinely loves.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comJohnny Collins Episode:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/188-never-give-up-6-bud-s-classes-to-be-a-navy-seal/id1582888787?i=1000740317114Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6z64p4xHrzZLB2rlWLy5AUYouTube: https://youtu.be/ZT90jdj14igSPONSORS:GRND Collective: Premium, veteran-owned sportswear built for those who show up, outwork the excuses, and give 100%.

With roughly 2,200 UA instructors on campus and over 400,000 members across the U.S. and Canada, the UA quietly runs one of the largest training operations in the skilled trades.Rob breaks down:• How the UA trains the trainers, turning field technicians into skilled classroom instructors• How the Future Instructor Program identifies and develops leadership potential in fourth- and fifth-year apprentices• Why so many technicians are already "teaching" without realizing it• The culture shift within the trades toward treating apprentices with respect and long-term vision• The UA's Pipe Pals initiative, tackling mental health and suicide prevention head-on with peer supportRob shares personal insight into how the UA is reshaping its culture from the ground up.

How much can you learn about a young skier before the lesson even begins? In this episode of First Chair, host George Thomas sits down with longtime instructor and trainer Paul Geoghegan to explore the ideas behind his 32 Degrees article, “Matching Students w/ Instructors Through the Rapid Assessment Protocol for Young Skiers.” Paul introduces RAPYS, a framework designed to help supervisors and instructors make more thoughtful student-instructor matches by considering five key areas: emotional, equipment, cultural, physical, and experience. The framework grew out of observing experienced supervisors who could seemingly look at a young skier and instinctively determine which instructor might be the best fit. George and Paul explore what those observations look like in practice—from noticing an apprehensive child holding onto a parent's leg to recognizing how experience in hockey, ice skating, dance, or gymnastics might translate to learning on snow. Paul also explains why online booking, while convenient, can't always capture the human factors that can determine whether a lesson succeeds. Most importantly, Paul argues that RAPYS isn't necessarily about following a rigid scoring system. It's a framework for thinking more intentionally about the person standing in front of you—and creating an environment where they feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.

In this episode, I dive into what truly separates exceptional health and wellness practitioners from the crowd and why a certification or degree alone won't make you irreplaceable. What We Cover: Why the wellness industry is crowded, but there's still room for everyone to succeed The difference between being qualified and being exceptional Why credentials get you in the door, but character and delivery keep you there Staying in your lane: knowing what you're legally and ethically able to do (and building a strong referral network) Why teaching frameworks beats teaching facts The power of pattern recognition and experience in spotting what others miss Why your marketing should amplify your results, not replace them How to get clients even without a polished brand (get out there, get visible, get scrappy) Why reputation is built in a thousand small moments, not one big one How AI is changing the industry  Building community vs. running a transactional business What it really takes to become a "unicorn" in your field: curiosity, humility, and caring more than everyone else   Let's dive in!

Jaimie teaches yoga and Pilates and has competed in bodybuilding. She knows fitness. She knows what she should be doing.And for almost a year, she wasn't doing it.After her competition, she stopped training consistently, stopped feeling connected to her body, and started feeling like a fraud while teaching other people to take care of theirs.She spent months watching BBM before finally reaching out.Two months later, she feels like herself again.We talk about what happens when you know exactly what to do but still can't get yourself to do it, why knowledge doesn't make you immune to struggling, what changes when you stop waiting to “get yourself together” first, and why sometimes getting your body back is really about getting yourself back.If you've been watching, thinking about starting, or telling yourself you should be able to figure it out on your own, listen to this one.DM me if this resonates or book your complimentary Coffee & Goals consultation here:

SUMMARY In this episode of Whistlekick Martial Arts Radio, Jeremy and Andrew delve into the often misunderstood concept of confidence in martial arts. They explore the differences between confidence and ego, the importance of experience in building true confidence, and how learning through failure is essential for growth. The conversation also touches on the impact of arrogance in the martial arts community and the responsibility of instructors to foster a healthy environment for students. Ultimately, the episode emphasizes the need for open discussions about confidence and self-evaluation within martial arts schools.   TAKEAWAYS Confidence is often misunderstood in martial arts. There is a difference between confidence and ego. True confidence is quiet and calm. Learning through failure is essential for growth. Arrogance can stem from a lack of self-esteem. Instructors have a responsibility to check arrogance. Discussion is key in martial arts schools. Real confidence often looks a lot quieter. Engaging with the community helps build confidence.

In this episode of Poised for Exit, father-and-son team Joe Strazzeri and Sal Strazzeri of Strazzeri Mancini explore succession from a perspective they know both professionally and personally. After years of helping successful business owners and families navigate complex transitions, Joe is now applying many of those same lessons as Sal builds his role within the family firm.The conversation explores why successful succession planning requires more than getting the legal, financial, and tax pieces right. Joe and Sal share what they have learned from working with families across generations, including how family dynamics, communication, and trust can shape whether a transition ultimately brings a family together or drives it apart. They also discuss the value of creating space for better conversations, learning from other families who have been through similar transitions, and moving beyond the “first draft” conversations that can prevent people from saying what they really mean.Joe and Sal also offer a candid look at their own transition, from the importance of letting the next generation develop real experience to recognizing that taking over the family business should be a choice, not an expectation. For business owners preparing to pass a company to the next generation, and for the advisors helping them do it, this episode is a reminder that a successful transition is not simply about transferring ownership. It is about preparing the people, relationships, and business for what comes next.Connect with Joe hereConnect with Sal hereLearn more about Strazzeri Mancini hereLearn more about Care to Know hereConnect with Julie Keyes, Keyestrategies LLCFounder, Consultant, Author, Pod-caster and Instructor

SUMMARY In this episode of Whistlekick Martial Arts Radio, hosts Jeremy Lesniak and Andrew Adams discuss the common mistakes parents make when choosing a martial arts school for their children. They emphasize the importance of considering factors beyond convenience, such as school culture, instructor quality, and the fit for the child. The conversation also highlights the need for fun in classes, the significance of long-term progress over short-term results, and the questions parents should ask when evaluating schools. The hosts encourage martial arts instructors to set clear expectations for both students and parents to foster a successful training environment.   TAKEAWAYS Parents often choose the first school they see without proper research. Logistics should not be the only factor in choosing a school. The fit between the child and the school is crucial for engagement. Classes must be fun to keep kids coming back. School culture significantly impacts student experience. Instructor quality varies; not all instructors are equally effective. Short-term results can help maintain student interest. Parents should ask about how disruptions are handled in class. Clear expectations for students and parents are essential for success. Long-term growth is more important than immediate results.   Join our EXCLUSIVE newsletter to get notified of each episode as it comes out!

In this episode of Poised for Exit, Amy Wirtz and Andrew Wirtz of Family & Business Success unpack what makes family business succession so complicated and why the biggest challenges often have very little to do with the numbers.Family relationships, ownership, leadership, and expectations around the next generation can all shape whether a transition moves forward smoothly or gets stuck. Amy and Andrew share what they see behind the scenes when families avoid important conversations, make assumptions about who will take over, or struggle to make decisions together.They also share real examples of how family meetings, advisory boards, education, and outside guidance can help bring more clarity and alignment to the process.One of the biggest takeaways is simple: never assume the next generation wants the business. Amy and Andrew explain why those conversations need to happen early, what families should be talking about, and how better planning can help protect both the business and the relationships around it.Connect with Amy Wirtz hereConnect with Andrew Wirtz hereLearn more about Family & Business Success here Connect with Julie Keyes, Keyestrategies LLCFounder, Consultant, Author, Pod-caster and Instructor

John Constantine spent almost 23 years in the United States Secret Service. Fifteen of them on the Counter Assault Team — the assaulters who exist for the day everything goes wrong. Team leader. Instructor. Operations supervisor. He stood with a rifle next to four presidential administrations, worked in almost 90 countries, and finished out in the Dignitary Protective Division running foreign heads of state. He wrote a book about the part of it nobody sees. It's called Hallways and Stairwells. He breaks down what actually happened at the Correspondents' Dinner, why the security plan worked even though the magnetometer checkpoint didn't, and how far that guy really was from the President. Butler gets the same treatment. The layers of security people never see. Why hunkering down has never worked, anywhere, ever. Then it goes past tactics. Mission, men, then you. Getting swatted at his own house over a function fire and suspended for it. Refusing to send guys and guns overseas as a favor unless somebody put it in writing.

Max talks with Greg Brown about one of the most important—and often underestimated—roles in aviation: the flight instructor. Greg is one of aviation's most respected CFIs, writers, and pilot mentors. A pilot since 1972 and a flight instructor since 1979, he was named the 2000 Industry/FAA National Flight Instructor of the Year, became the first-ever Master Flight Instructor, and was inducted into the Flight Instructor Hall of Fame in 2021. Many pilots know Greg from his aviation books, including The Savvy Flight Instructor, The Turbine Pilot's Flight Manual, Flying Carpet, You Can Fly!, and Job Hunting for Pilots, as well as from his long-running "Flying Carpet" column in AOPA Flight Training magazine and his Cockpit Adventures from the Flying Carpet podcast. In this episode, Greg and Max focus on practical advice for people who are becoming CFIs, looking for CFI jobs, or trying to build a better flight instruction business. Greg explains that he did not become a flight instructor immediately after earning his private pilot certificate. By the time he earned his CFI, he had already accumulated a great deal of flying experience and had discovered that he loved teaching. He instructed about 800 hours in his first year while still holding another full-time job, and soon discovered that instruction could lead to unexpected aviation opportunities. One of Greg's key messages is that becoming a CFI should not be viewed as a dead end or merely a required stepping stone to an airline job. He tells the story of teaching an instrument student who owned a scientific instrument company. That student eventually invited Greg to become the company's chief pilot and help select and fly a cabin-class twin. Greg's point is that CFIs meet people, build trust, and create opportunities in ways that are impossible to predict. Greg also offers detailed advice on how new instructors can get hired. He explains that many applicants simply send resumes and end up in a large pile with everyone else. A smaller number know someone at the flight school. But the strongest applicants are those who have built a personal relationship with the owner, chief instructor, or people already working there. Greg urges aspiring CFIs to visit flight schools, ask for advice, stay in touch, and create a simple system to maintain relationships over time. In a tight CFI job market, he says, networking and reputation can be more important than raw hours. Max and Greg also discuss different paths into flight instruction, including academies, Part 61 flight schools, flying clubs, universities, and independent instruction. Greg says flying clubs can be a terrific environment because instructors often know their students, have access to aircraft, and may face less bureaucracy. They also discuss the idea of buying an airplane to teach in. While that can work for some instructors, Greg and Max point out the financial and insurance challenges, along with the practical limitation that when a student solos your airplane, you no longer have that airplane available for dual instruction. A major theme of the episode is that flight instructors must also learn marketing and sales. Greg recommends that CFIs create photo business cards with an airplane or cockpit image, a QR code, and contact information. He says the card does the work of explaining who you are and often starts conversations with people who may be interested in aviation. Greg also recommends having at least a simple web page, so potential students searching online for flight training or a local flight instructor can find you. Greg also strongly recommends earning a ground instructor certificate. He explains that the advanced ground instructor written test overlaps substantially with the commercial and flight instructor written tests, making it a practical step for many aspiring CFIs. Teaching ground school can help a future instructor get connected with a flight school, develop teaching skill, and attract future flight students. Max adds that teaching ground school before his CFI checkride made it far easier to stand at a board, explain concepts clearly, and teach an examiner during the practical test. The discussion then turns to how CFIs can earn more and build long-term credibility. Greg compares flight instruction to golf or tennis instruction: the best instructors are not necessarily the cheapest, but the ones who provide the most value. He recommends building references, earning additional instructor ratings, pursuing credentials such as Master Flight Instructor, and developing expertise. Max adds that specialization can move an instructor up the value chain. A CFI might become known for tailwheel training, glass cockpit instruction, instrument training, mountain flying, aircraft ownership, Cirrus training, Mooney training, or another niche. Greg and Max also explore the deeper human side of flight instruction. Greg tells two stories about challenging students. One student showed poor judgment and returned from a long solo cross-country with nearly empty tanks and a damaged wing after failing to refuel. Another student, a CFI applicant, performed terribly on a checkride because of severe test anxiety, even though he had been well prepared in training. Rather than dismiss him, Greg helped connect him with support. That student eventually became an airline captain. The lesson: some problems reflect character and judgment, while others are barriers a good instructor can help a pilot overcome. Near the end of the episode, Greg asks listeners to think of the flight instructor who most influenced their lives. Max names his primary instructor, Dick Johnston, and recalls how his advice still echoes decades later. Greg remembers his own primary instructor, Bob Vetter, who let him recover from an inadvertent spin under careful supervision and taught him lessons that shaped his own approach to instruction. Max closes by describing flight instructing as a sacred responsibility. CFIs are not merely preparing students for checkrides; they are helping pilots build the judgment and habits that may keep them alive for decades. Greg agrees and shares how meaningful it is to hear from former students, now airline captains, who still remember the role he played in their lives. This episode is both a practical guide to CFI jobs and a reminder that flight instructors can profoundly shape the future of the pilots they teach.
