Podcast appearances and mentions of keith o'brien

A little background of why I like to feature this topic on this podcast. Books used to be my least favorite topic back in my childhood. But generally, I became fascinated as I grew older that there's so many things you could pick up reading a book like learning from someone else's mistakes and these books are actually shortcuts to learning things easier and faster to reach your goal.   So, here is Part 5 of the mini series; Top 3 favorite books and why. This mini series is a collection of our guests' favorite books along with the reason why and how those books impacted their business, thinking, mindset, and well being, and why they recommend them as must-read books.   This episode gives a great insight into the diverse taste of book lovers like myself and provides an excellent reading list for anyone seeking new literary discoveries.   In This Episode: [00:40] Keith O Brien [01:30] Jens Gould [03:49] Mansour Narouzi [05:45] Ben Kong [06:20] Elizabeth Green [06:44] Chad Rubin [07:55] Tyler Gregg [09:25] Chris McCabe [12:00] Christina Passmore   Links and References: Wizards of Amazon: https://www.wizardsofecom.com/ Wizards of Amazon Courses: https://wizardsofamazon.mykajabi.com/a/27566/x6Kwkz6p Wizards of Amazon Meetup: https://www.meetup.com/South-Florida-FBA/ Wizards of Amazon on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/WizardsofAmazon/ Wizards of Amazon on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wizardsofecom/

SUMMARY In The Red Rose Crew, former crew team member and rowing coach, Daniel Boyne, tackles the compelling true story of the female athletes who came together to form the first U.S. Women’s National Crew Team. It was 1975, just when Title IX began to crack open doors to American women in sports and at universities across the nations. This formidable group of tough women battled for international success at the World Championships while also battling for equality at home where sexual prejudice, bureaucracy, and male domination also stood firmly in their path to victory. Fiercely determined to participate in one of the most grueling and competitive sports, this brave crew not only withstood all the rigors of hard training but also fought the uphill battle to take their rightful place as premier athletes. Tapping into each individual’s inner strength, the ingenuous coach Harry Parker (from Harvard’s men crew) also ignited an unlikely but powerful sense of team unity among the women, propelling them to participate in their first Olympic Games in 1976. With raw honesty combined with authentic dramatic tension, Boyne tells "A True Story of Women, Winning, and the Water.” KEY POINTS & CHARACTERS Unbeknownst to many, American rowing has its original roots among the working class. When crews row well, it’s difficult for onlookers to tell just how hard the oarsmen are rowing. The Head of the Charles Regatta – happens every October and the largest race in the world Gail Pierson – brilliant MIT professor and champion sharpshooter; assumes the role of elder statesman and organizer for the women’s team; a pioneer for rowing who suffers the slings and arrows of criticism Carie Graves – stands 6’1” by her sophomore year in high school; the team’s Amazon bohemian; channels her darkest places to compete at her top level, becoming the strong powerhouse of the team Anne Warner – Yale student stronger than most male rowers at Harvard; fierce feminist who takes dramatic measures to get equal amenities and recognition for the team Lynn Sillman – 16-year-old coxswain whose quiet but strong leadership skills steer the team literally and figuratively CLAC – women’s row club began in late 1800s that trained at Mission Bay in San Diego Harry Parker – without aspiring to the role, takes coach position of the first women’s truly competitive crew QUOTES FROM BOYNE “In order to understand competitive rowing, you first had to understand pain. Not the common ordinary sort that visits most people on an occasional basis…the real pain of rowing, the one required for a racing effort, was far more internal and intense.” “A crew coach is utterly useless during a crew race, unable to communicate with his crew. Even if it were possible to talk to them as they raced, it was not permitted.” “Harvard University…had one of the finest facilities in the entire United States, if not the world. “Most of these women had already paid their dues. Most had not only experienced the normal rigors of rowing but had also borne the additional hardships of being denied the basic privileges that came with it. They hadn’t needed to walk into boathouses and prove themselves. They’d had to bang on the doors just to be let in.” “In rowing, explaining the success of an underrated crew is almost as difficult as accounting for the poor performance of a highly rated one.” BUY Red Rose Crew: A True Story Of Women, Winning, And The Water RECOMMENDATIONS BUY the DVD "Miracle" (2004) https://www.nonfiction4life.com/86-fly-girls-by-keith-obrien/ Check our podcast interview with Keith O'Brien about his book Fly Girls -- another nonfiction book heralding the accomplishments of strong women.

Remember I Love To Review back in the day? Keith O'Brien tells us the story of what happened when "Review Armageddon" hit on October 6, 2016. We also discuss the turning point and how they turned things around today. As the saying goes "Setbacks, make way for comebacks"...

Carrie and K.W. talk about Fly Girls by Keith O'Brien, "Doin' Time" by Lana Del Rey, and the pilot of Heroes.

SUMMARY In his book Fly Girls, author and journalist Keith O’Brien brings to life the almost-forgotten, inspiring true stories of female aviators. Danger and discrimination were only two of the many obstacles they faced as they fought for their right to compete in air races popular during the 1920s and ‘30s. By following a small thread in The Astronaut Wives Club, O’Brien now weaves together Fly Girls, the unique history of “Five Brave Women Who Defied the Odds and Made Aviation History.” KEY POINTS In 1928, just eight years after the women's suffrage amendment passed, 30 million women were registered to vote. That same year, less than a dozen American women held pilot licenses. Women learning to fly had to put up with catcalls, odd looks, and snide remarks repeatedly. Most flight instructors were men who complained or wrote openly about how much they disliked teaching women how to fly. Air races (not air shows) were a real sport with winners and losers, lots of money for the victors, and enormous crowds—like the Super Bowl of our time. Sexism revealed in the nicknames given to female pilots: “ladybirds,” “sweethearts of the air,” “petticoat pilots,” and “powder puff girls.” Department of Commerce (predating the FAA) created a regulation that women could not fly a plane within three days of menstruating. Sabotage of women’s planes, though unproven, presented yet another obstacle to those wanting to participate in the air races. Women exerting freedoms, such as wearing pants and cutting hair short, went against the norms for the times. Aviation was potentially a very lucrative hobby or career. Radio communication was spotty and weather reports unreliable in the 1920s and ‘30s, and people were making planes “in their backyards.” QUOTES FROM O'BRIEN “Before they even got in a plane, they had to weather discrimination on the ground.” “To be a woman walking across an airfield in 1928…would have put you into one of the rarest of categories.” “These women were true radicals, true renegades who were pushing the envelope of what society expected of a woman.” “These women had to be better pilots than the men…When the women crashed, they were questioned at every turn.” “They came from different backgrounds…but there was a commonality in how they were raised…At a time when parents—in particular, a father—could tell a teenage girl whom she would or would not date or marry…these parents either turned the other way and allowed their daughter to pursue this unusual interest in aviation, or they actively encourage it.” “Many died in the air races—sometimes right in front of the crowd—and still the races would go on! They had an appetite for death and disaster that we simply would not tolerate today.” BUY Fly Girls: How Five Daring Women Defied All Odds and Made Aviation History BUY Fly Girls Young Readers’ Edition: How Five Daring Women Defied All Odds and Made Aviation History RECOMMENDATIONS BUY The Astronaut Wives Club: A True Story   Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Trade's trailer advertising Fly Girls (with live footage) Connect with us on social media!

Ninety years ago, daring air races across the U.S. routinely attracted crowds that would dwarf attendance at spectacles such as the Super Bowl today. “I’m talking about a half million people – paying customers – during the Great Depression coming out to watch races over the course of a weekend,” Keith O’Brien said during Friday’s St. Louis on the Air. “An additional half million would watch for free from the hoods of their automobiles parked on nearby highways … in this little window of time, air racing was one of the most popular sports in America.” The pilots vying for the prize were usually men, and the few women pilots were often ridiculed – until they combined forces to break down barriers and make aviation history.

“The men you know, have been somewhat worried about such a long flight for us. They seem to have visions of us smashing up all over the countryside. So the thing for us to do is to prove that their fears have been foolish.”  Welcome back to Vanished: Amelia Earhart. A question to kick off tonight’s show. What are some dates that you remember in your life? Maybe a wedding anniversary, or the birth of your child or a date that something significant happened in your life; positive or negative. There are a few dates in the life of Amelia Earhart that would qualify as important. How about, January the 3rd, 1921 the day that Amelia started flying with Neta Snook? October the 22nd, 1922 Amelia broke the altitude record; rising to 14,000 ft. June the 17th & 18th 1928 Amelia became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic as a passenger; the Friendship flight. That started it all. How about July the 2nd 1937? The day AE and Fred Noonan disappeared? We’ll get to that. But there’s another date that is synonymous with Amelia Earhart and quite a few others in fact. A date that not too many people know about. Tonight, we’re gonna learn all about this date. The women’s air derby. August the 18th 1929. Time to race.

In 1926, there were countless ways to die in an airplane. Propeller blades snapped and broke, and planes went down. Wings failed, folding backward or tearing away completely. Control sticks got stuck, sending airships hurtling toward crowds or hangars. And all too often, engines just stopped in mid-flight, forcing pilots to scan the ground below for a farmer’s field or a cow pasture—anyplace where they might land in a hurry. “In such a crisis, there is no time to think,” said one early pilot. “You either automatically do the right thing or you die.”  Tonight, on a special midweek release for the 54th episode of the Chasing Earhart podcast and on the night of his book’s release, author and project guest Keith O’Brien joins us via Zoom right before the kick off of his tour to talk the lives and careers of aviation icons, Ruth Elder, Ruth Nichols, Louise Thaden, Florence Klingensmith and Amelia Earhart. Individually, these women have some of the most incredible aviation stories of all time. They are legends, icons, and heroes. But collectively they are simply known…as Fly Girls.

Headlines from around the world recently declared a major breakthrough in the Amelia Earhart mystery. We are joined by Keith O’Brien, author of “Fly Girls: How Five Daring Women Defied All Odds and Made Aviation History" as we explore the life and disappearance of an American Icon, and the powerful new report which claims to know her fate.
