In this powerful conversation, host Shaesta Waiz speaks with Retired Lt. Col. Olga E. Custodio, the first Latina to fly for the United States Air Force and later, the first Latina commercial airline captain in the U.S. Olga shares the deeply personal and professional journey behind her groundbreaking aviation career—one that began after starting a family, not before. Together, they unpack cultural norms, leadership, and the rollback of DEI initiatives in today's aviation climate. Olga discusses how women—especially Latinas—can stand firm in spaces where they don't yet see themselves reflected, and why now is the time to preserve and elevate our stories, even as others try to erase them. This episode is a masterclass in persistence, purpose, and public service.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Capt. Lynn Rippelmeyer—first woman to fly the Boeing 747—joins host Shaesta Waiz to dismantle the myth that equity and excellence are mutually exclusive. Rippelmeyer traces her unlikely climb from TWA flight attendant to 747 captain during an era when women “weren't just under-represented—they were reminded they didn't belong.”  She credits key male allies, highlights the power of mentorship, and explains why tapping an inner spiritual compass is critical when the industry questions your right to be there. Beyond the flight deck, Rippelmeyer discusses raising two sons while flying, founding the nonprofit ROSE—Roatán Support Effort, and writing two memoirs (Life Takes Wings, Life Takes Flight) whose proceeds fund medical and educational aid in Honduras. Her core message: a fully engaged, diverse workforce is the only route to operational excellence—and every new pilot has a part to play. Major Themes & Concepts ✅ Equity is foundational to excellence—not its opposite ✅ Mentorship from male allies can open historic doors ✅ You can raise a family while flying professionally ✅ The myth of “safety risk” from women in command roles ✅ Inner confidence stems from spirituality and self-trust ✅ Institutional bias once blocked female captains—until proven wrong ✅ Representation matters: visibility breeds access ✅ Legacy is built not just in flight, but in giving back Chapter Breakdown 00:00 | Cold-open — “You can't have excellence without equity” 01:24 | Host intro and Lynn's historic flight credentials 03:04 | Dreaming the 747 while training in a Piper Cub 05:27 | Chief Pilot Carl Hershberg and mentorship that changed everything 07:21 | The 747's “sacred” feel; pilot-aircraft relationship 10:15 | Tackling the false binary of DEI vs. safety 13:16 | Debunking myths: mental fitness, menstruation, and command 19:52 | Flying through doubt, powered by spiritual grounding 23:49 | Finding support: 99s, WAI, ISA+21, and choosing community 26:33 | Post-career: launching ROSE and humanitarian flying 28:50 | Life Takes Wings & Life Takes Flight — memoirs with mission Additional Resources Nonprofit: ROSE – Roatán Support Effort Follow Capt.

Military veteran and advocate Jessica Ruttenber—retired Air Force officer, founder of Level Up Aviation joins host Shaesta Waiz to explain why dismantling diversity, equity & inclusion programs threatens aviation safety, talent pipelines, and hard‑won policy gains such as the removal of a height restriction that once barred 44 % of U.S. women from military cockpits. Politicized pushback against DEI is already shrinking grant dollars, sponsorships, and talent pools across aviation. Drawing on her work overturning the Air Force height standard and running Level Up Aviation scholarships, Ruttenber details how “trigger words” in funding applications are chilling support for nonprofits, why the FAA's own data contradicts claims that standards were lowered, and what leaders can do—quietly or loudly—to interrupt bias and preserve equal access for future aviators. From the myth that DEI lowers standards to the hidden costs of outdated specifications, this conversation delivers hard data, candid stories, and a roadmap for leaders who refuse to roll back progress. Major Themes & Concepts ✅ DEI removes barriers—never qualifications ✅ FAA executive‑order rhetoric vs. actual safety data ✅ Height and anthropometric rules that excluded women & minorities ✅ Funding “trigger words” that chill nonprofit grants ✅ Change is a marathon: pacing advocacy to avoid burnout ✅ Leadership duty to interrupt bias in real time ✅ Inspiration + access: why representation still matters for recruitment ✅ Budget vigilance—protecting long‑horizon research ✅ Progress is nonlinear but defensible with facts and documentation Chapter Breakdown 00:00  | Cold‑open—misconceptions about DEI and safety 01:39  | Host introduction—Season focus on women in aviation 03:34  | Framing question: DEI politicization and nonprofit fallout 04:14  | Executive‑order language vs. aviation safety data 08:04  | Funding “trigger words” and scholarship impact 10:46  | Removing the 44 % height barrier; advocacy pacing 13:57  | Women pilots data; crypto‑linguist case study 19:11  | Inspiration vs. access; role‑model visibility 24:10  | Leadership advice: interrupt bias, protect inclusive R&D 26:26  | Closing gratitude and sign‑off Additional Resources Executive Order — “Keeping Americans Safe in Aviation” (Jan 2025) FAA Air‑Traffic‑Controller Shortage Coverage (CNN) Follow Jessica Ruttenber Website: levelupaviation.org LinkedIn: Jessica Ruttenber Follow Shaesta Waiz Website: shaestawaiz.com LinkedIn: Shaesta Waiz Instagram: @shaesta.waiz TikTok: @shaestawaiz  Shaesta Waiz on YouTube YouTube (Aviate Platform) Production, Distribution, and Marketing By Massif Studio & Production & The Tallawah Group www.massifsp.com LinkedIn: Massif Studio & Production Website: www.TallawahWorldwide.com LinkedIn: The Tallawah Group For inquiries about sponsoring the podcast, email hello@MassifKroo.co Learn more about your ad choices.

This is Aviate with Shaesta, and we're opening Season 7 with a force of clarity, grit, and hard-earned wisdom. Sharon Preszler—trailblazer, retired Air Force fighter pilot, and advocate—joins us for a rare and brutally honest conversation on gender, performance, and the cost of systemic resistance in aviation today. As the first woman to become combat-ready in the F-16, Sharon didn't just break a barrier—she carried the weight of proving an entire generation's worth. In this conversation, she opens up about the pressure, the skepticism, the “death by a thousand cuts” moments—and why we need to push back against the narrative that DEI lowers standards. We talk performance, bias, representation, and the reality facing women in uniform now, as DEI programs are pulled back, stories are erased, and long-earned progress is threatened. If you've ever been told you're “just a diversity hire,” if you've felt the need to outperform just to be accepted, or if you care about building a military and aviation community that truly reflects the best this country has to offer—this episode is for you. Major Themes & Concepts ✅ Belonging must still be proven through performance ✅ DEI removes barriers—not qualifications ✅ Sharon's journey from fighter pilot to advocate ✅ Being the “first” means constant scrutiny ✅ Inclusion is key to retention and trust ✅ DEI rollback is harming readiness and morale ✅ Legacy systems exclude qualified talent ✅ Systemic bias still shapes who advances ✅ We need facts—not fear—in these debates ✅ Leadership pipelines still favor familiarity ✅ Historic bias still shapes modern outcomes ✅ Progress is fragile—but worth defending Chapter Breakdown 00:00 – You must change the system yourself 01:27 – Why this conversation matters right now 04:46 – Flying the F-16 under pressure and protest 08:03 – What inclusion really looks like in uniform 10:19 – Who defines “qualified” in aviation today? 13:59 – DEI rollbacks and historical erasure 18:35 – Data reveals who's truly advancing 22:46 – Is the system neutral—or just comfortable? 29:18 – Microaggressions and lasting emotional cost 36:44 – Advice: Define success, perform relentlessly Connect with Sharon Preszler Website: sharonpreszler.com LinkedIn: Sharon Preszler Follow Shaesta Waiz Website: shaestawaiz.com LinkedIn: Shaesta Waiz Instagram: @shaesta.waiz TikTok: @shaestawaiz   Shaesta Waiz on YouTube YouTube (Aviate Platform) Production, Distribution, and Marketing By Massif Studio & Production & The Tallawah Group www.massifsp.com LinkedIn: Massif Studio & Production Website: www.TallawahWorldwide.com LinkedIn: The Tallawah Group For inquiries about sponsoring the podcast, email hello@MassifKroo.com.

This episode documents a deep philosophical conversation between Doug Scott and Carys Vaughan, exploring complex spiritual and metaphysical concepts. The dialogue weaves together themes of consciousness evolution, spiritual development, societal polarization, and personal responsibility in a time of global transformation. Major Themes 1. The Womb/Tomb Metaphor and Transformational Consciousness A central metaphor emerges of our current global moment as a "tomb that is a womb" - a space of both death and rebirth. Doug introduces this concept through the Christian archetype of resurrection: "What is a neglected part of that archetype often is the tomb... You have the dying on the cross, and then the resurrection. But in between you have in the archetypal story 3 days in the tomb. And what is the tomb? If it's not a womb... the tomb is a womb." This frames their understanding of current global challenges as a necessary death-rebirth process: "How to midwife the death of the old and the birth of the new." Carys relates to this idea, noting how she had previously conceptualized it as liminal space: "I was kind of seeing it as a bit like we're just in this kind of liminal space... But there's this kind of liminal space that we're in at the moment where we we can't see the new yet." 2. The Law of One Philosophy and Cosmic Evolution Doug presents a detailed cosmology based on the "Law of One" material, explaining consciousness evolution through "densities" and the cosmic journey of the Creator experiencing itself: "The primal Logos, the Creator, is a being, a protean being, protean meaning changing. Growing is a protein being that develops and learns on... the ultimate macro scale." This framework provides context for understanding human development, societal challenges, and spiritual evolution. Doug explains how consciousness evolves through various "densities" with Earth currently in "3rd density" - a particularly challenging stage characterized by veiled awareness and polarization. 3. Navigating Polarization and Division Both speakers explore the challenge of dealing with societal division and polarization. Carys expresses difficulty empathizing with those who deliberately cause harm: "What I find difficult is how the rich and powerful, like Trump or Elon Musk, are cutting into things that help relieve the pain and suffering of the marginalized, without any empathy or even curiosity of what most people's lives are like. They are purposefully choosing. This is the evil that I that I see." Doug offers a perspective that reframes even negative polarization as part of cosmic development: "From the law of one perspective, those who have chosen the negative polarity from 3rd density we call that evil. But in the metaphysics of it all it's not. There isn't an evil or a good. They're just 2 pathways that create catalyst for each polarity." 4. Personal Agency and Response to Global Challenges The conversation explores how individuals should respond to global disruption and conflict. They discuss the importance of "witnessing" (or as Doug suggests, "withness") rather than fighting against what is happening: "Our job, I think, is to midwife the new spirit of standing under... to help those who are entrapped in their own belief systems, not hating on them." Doug emphasizes detachment from outcomes while staying engaged in service: "So work hard, be an activist, do the things. Every act of love counts; yes, butterfly effect. But then strip the ego's need to clothe itself in success or failure, and walk off the field when the harvest is done." 5. Spiral Dynamics and Levels of Consciousness The speakers discuss different levels of consciousness development, referencing "blue level," "green meme," and other terms from Spiral Dynamics. They explore how people at different levels perceive reality: "They can't see. But look beyond that, say blue, level consciousness. So anything that they see that perhaps, is, you know, green or yellow, or whatever is, is seen as a threat." This framework helps them understand why some people may be resistant to change or threatened by different perspectives. 6. The Ripple Effect of Personal Actions The conversation concludes with a beautiful recognition of how small actions create meaningful ripples. Doug shares how Carys's environmental activism has inspired him across continents: "Your act of love towards God as the creation has made an influence to some dude way in Texas." Carys appreciates this while acknowledging the beauty in not knowing the full impact of our actions: "There's something beautiful in the not knowing as well. I think you know just you're scattering your seeds, and you don't quite know where they're going to blow off to what they're going to kind of produce." Conclusion This rich dialogue explores profound questions about humanity's current evolutionary moment, framing global challenges as a necessary transition toward a new consciousness. It balances metaphysical concepts with practical approaches to navigating polarization and contributing positively to societal transformation. The speakers ultimately find common ground in the importance of committed action paired with non-attachment to outcomes - being present to suffering while maintaining hope in the possibility of rebirth.

In the second week of Sci-Fi Month, the Fully-Booked hosts Meaghan and Arthur navigate a "fish out of water" experience for Meghan, who is less familiar with science fiction. Originally planned to discuss The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, they pivot to a newer release, The Wild Robot. This decision provides a fresh opportunity to explore a beloved modern story that blends sci-fi with emotional depth, making it accessible for both newcomers and seasoned fans of the genre. Meaghan confesses her initial hesitation about sci-fi but finds herself captivated by The Wild Robot. Arthur, the sci-fi aficionado, frames the film’s exploration of existential and environmental themes as a segue into broader discussions about the genre’s versatility and appeal. Overview of The Wild Robot: Story, Animation, and Reception Released on September 27th, The Wild Robot is an animated adaptation of Peter Brown’s 2016 novel - the first in a trilogy. The film follows Roz, a helper robot, stranded on an uninhabited island after a cargo ship accident. As the only undamaged unit among her fleet, Roz adapts to her new environment and evolves beyond her programming, forming a bond with Brightbill, a gosling who imprints on her as his mother. Roz’s journey is marked by humorous and heartfelt moments as she learns to communicate with the island’s animal inhabitants and helps Brightbill prepare for migration. The animation’s expressive quality and poignant score amplify the emotional resonance, drawing audiences into Roz’s world. The film received critical acclaim, boasting an 8.2/10 on IMDb and a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Its strong box office performance and critical success suggest a bright future for the planned sequel, based on the second book in the trilogy. Peter Brown’s involvement as a consultant on the film ensures fidelity to the original story while allowing for adaptation to the screen. Major Themes in The Wild Robot: Finding Place and Purpose Meaghan and Arthur highlight several key themes: Adaptation and Otherness: Roz’s journey mirrors the experience of outsiders adapting to new environments. The film explores her evolution from a programmed helper to an individual with feelings and a sense of purpose, challenging the notion of rigid programming or societal expectations. Found Family: The bond between Roz and Brightbill exemplifies the idea that families are not solely defined by biology but by love, care, and shared experiences. Roz’s relationships with other animals, particularly the fox Fink, further emphasize this theme. Parenthood: Roz’s transformation into a surrogate mother delves into the infinite nature of parental love and responsibility. Her willingness to prioritize Brightbill’s needs over her own reflects the universal struggles and joys of parenting. Environmentalism and Coexistence: The backdrop of the story subtly critiques humanity’s impact on the planet. The thriving ecosystem of the untouched island contrasts with the human-made dystopia hinted at through the animals’ migration journey. The submerged Golden Gate Bridge and dome-covered cities underscore themes of climate change and humanity’s tendency to disrupt natural harmony. Bullying and Acceptance: Roz, Brightbill, and Fink all face discrimination due to their differences. Their journey toward acceptance within the animal community promotes messages of empathy and overcoming prejudice. The Humor and Emotional Depth of The Wild Robot While deeply thematic, the film balances heavy topics with humor. Darkly comedic moments, such as Roz accidentally destroying Brightbill’s family or the possum’s exaggerated reaction to danger, elicit laughter while adding complexity to the narrative. The writing and voice acting excel in blending comedy with poignant storytelling. Notable voice actors, including Lupita Nyong’o as Roz, Pedro Pascal as Fink, and Kit Connor as Brightbill, bring warmth and nuance to their characters. The music, praised for its emotional power, enhances the storytelling, making even the simplest scenes impactful. Comparisons and Sci-Fi Adjacent Elements The hosts draw comparisons between The Wild Robot and WALL-E. Both films feature robotic protagonists who challenge human norms and highlight environmental issues. While WALL-E directly critiques humanity’s overconsumption, The Wild Robot places more emphasis on nature’s resilience and adaptability. The untouched island serves as a microcosm of what the world could look like without human interference. Sci-fi elements remain understated but pivotal, particularly in Roz’s interactions with Universal Dynamics recovery units. These scenes underscore the darker implications of corporate control and technological dependence. A Heartfelt Sci-Fi Experience The Wild Robot strikes a balance between sci-fi and emotional storytelling, making it an excellent entry point for those new to the genre. Meghan and Arthur celebrate its ability to engage audiences of all ages through humor, heart, and thought-provoking themes. As Sci-Fi Month continues, the hosts promise deeper dives into harder sci-fi literature and film, setting the stage for further exploration of the genre’s endless possibilities.

With Gypsy on Broadway, Wicked on movie screens nationwide and Mama I'm A Big Girl Now off-Broadway, this seemed to be the perfect time to revisit this episode from the first season of Broadway Nation. This was the first of three episodes highlighting the principal themes of the Broadway Musical.  Here I look at the single most ubiquitous and pervasive theme: “Transgressive Women”. For more than 100 years an overwhelming majority of musicals have featured transgressive female characters who break the rules, and refuse to follow the path that society has set out for them. And more often than not they are the protagonist, or co-protagonist, of the story. However, for some reason musicals are not generally perceived in this way. Most people would not identify this as one of the Broadway Musicals principal attributes. I believe that is part of their subversive power. In fact I would contend that the musicals themselves, as well as the characters, are transgressive. From “Laurey” in Oklahoma! to “Elphaba” in Wicked. From “Annie Oakley” to “Tracy Turnblad”. From “Maria” in The Sound Of Music to “Effie” in Dreamgirls. Dynamic women have always been at the center of America's signature Art Form.

When it comes to football, there is one key factor that distinguishes every player from a fan. While both might wear jerseys, know plays, love the team, watch films, recite stats, and more, only one of them steps onto the field and plays the game. It is a distinguishing quality.
