Podcasts about Nik

In this solo episode, Nik talks about the trap that many aspiring and current pilots fall into: waiting. Waiting for the perfect time, the right opportunity, or for someone else to take the lead. Inspired by a reading of Oh, The Places You'll Go! to his kids, Nik reflects on how easy it is to get stuck in “The Waiting Place” — and why it's time to move. Nik shares a personal story of loss that reminds us just how short life can be and how important it is to act with purpose. If you've been holding back—whether it's applying for a job, starting interview prep, reaching out to a mentor, or just logging flight time—this episode will give you the push to stop waiting and start doing.  What You'll Learn Why waiting feels safe—but holds you back How to take action even if things aren't perfect The importance of momentum in building confidence What to do when you're facing rejection or uncertainty Why movement, not perfection, leads to progress CONNECT WITH US Are you ready to take your preparation to the next level?

Colin and Nik play poker every month. Nik fondly remembers playing poker with Colin's coworker, Joey. But here's the kicker. Colin says Joey has never been to poker night. Joey doesn't even play poker! Colin thinks that Nik is confused. But, Nik says Colin is bluffing! Who's right? Who's wrong?Please consider donating to Al Otro Lado.

How do you turn a simple product into a seven-figure business without breaking the bank on ads? What makes a story-driven brand stand out in today's crowded digital landscape? Nik sits down with journalist and media personality Benjamin Gottlieb to explore storytelling, consumer psychology, and brand building. They talk about how founders can think like journalists, the importance of clarity in communication, and why marketing should always be personal, not for the masses. Plus, how good does your hook actually have to be? It's overlooked, but super critical. Nik says hooks should be testable, tailored, and transferable across platforms. A hook that performs organically on TikTok might become the foundation of your next paid campaign. And if grandma—or someone three shots deep at the bar—can understand it? You're doing it right. If you're a founder, marketer, or creative looking to scale without losing your voice, this episode is for you. AppLovin is the fastest growing ad platform for DTC brands.

Nik and Dave talk to Cat Dixon CEO of UKSA

Welcome back! In this special episode, guest host and fellow Spitfire Elite coach, Jason Batchelor, "JB", records live interviews from the Professional Asian Pilot's Association Convention floor in Las Vegas, NV. You'll hear honest, unscripted conversations with aspiring aviators—some just days into their airline journey, others preparing for a major transition after decades of military service. From rapid interview timelines to navigating a cold, stoic interview environment, Kelly shares her perspective on staying poised when things don't go as expected. Matt, a retiring F-15E pilot and Air Force Colonel, reflects on transition out of the military and into the civilian career field—and how preparing for interviews doesn't always follow a structured military path. Finally, Kono, a first-time conference attendee, gets a shot at a mock meet-and-greet, gaining real-time feedback and direction for how to refine his message and lean into his authenticity. What You'll Learn: How quickly the hiring timeline can unfold—and why being prepared is key What to expect (and how to adapt) when an interview doesn't match your expectations Why early preparation matters when transitioning from military to civilian aviation The value of mock interviews, roleplay, and honest coaching  How to highlight cultural fit and personal story during meet-and-greets    CONNECT WITH US Are you ready to take your preparation to the next level?

This week on Wasted Truth, Nik and Jill are joined by longtime homie and absolute industry badass, Gemaal: the man behind Apertif, a high-end bartending company slinging booze at weddings and events all over. Nik's worked with him for over a decade, so you know the stories run deep. From shutting down entire weddings three hours in, to witnessing guests turn into full-blown monsters of entitlement, Jamal doesn't hold back. Oh, and yes, we talk about “Harry Potter-ing babies” (yes, literal infants stored in closets so their parents could rage). We unpack the chaos of working weddings, the pain of drunk groups of men public, and what it's like trying to keep things classy when everyone else is messy. It's wild, it's funny, and it's as unhinged as you'd expect. Cheers, degenerates.Let's spill some W-Tea! CALL US, YOUR VOICEMAIL MIGHT JUST MAKE IT ON THE POD!

In dieser Episode meines Podcasts Positiv Führen spreche ich mit Christoph Müller-Höcker über Mindfulness und achtsame Führung in Unternehmen. Einige der Themen: - Was bedeutet Mindfulness für Führungskräfte – und was nicht? - Der Business Case für Achtsamkeit: Warum investiert die Allianz in Mindfulness? - Praktische Tools wie der "physiologische Seufzer" und die "Minute des Ankommens" - Typische Widerstände und Missverständnisse gegenüber Achtsamkeit im Business - Zielgruppen und Demographics: Wer nutzt Mindfulness-Angebote – und wer sollte sie (mehr) nutzen? - Wie man Achtsamkeit am besten in Organisationen einführt (und wie man es versemmelt) Über den Gast: Christoph Müller-Höcker ist Group Mindfulness Lead der Allianz Gruppe. Er verantwortet als "Unternehmer im Unternehmen" weltweite Mindfulness-Programme für Mitarbeiter und hat eine Community von 8.000 Menschen aufgebaut. Seine Arbeit zeigt beeindruckende Zahlen: 100% Net Promoter Score, 4,6 Sterne Bewertungen und täglich rund 100 Teilnehmende bei Meditation-Sessions, die regelmäßig von positiven Effekten auf Fokus, Stressreduktion, Resilienz und Empathie berichten. Nach einer berufsbegleitenden Ausbildung zum Public Relations-Berater hat Christoph Soziologie mit Betriebswirtschaft und Psychologie studiert. In seinem bald 20-jährigen Berufsleben widmete er sich schwerpunktmäßig dem Thema Transformation, Veränderung und Wachstum von Menschen und Organisationen, arbeitete langjährig als Unternehmensberater und war zuletzt global für das Thema Organisationsentwicklung und Veränderungsmanagement als Head of Organizational Change bei dem internen Technologie-Partner Allianz Technology verantwortlich.

Flying a fully loaded 757 with shifting weather and unexpected system faults isn't the kind of day any pilot hopes for—but sometimes, it's the one you get. In this solo episode, Nik shares a real-life flight that became a case study in slowing down, resetting, and leaning on your team. He walks us through a recent scenario that started with a simple maintenance issue during taxi-out but escalated into a near runway incursion. It's easy to think, “That would never happen to me.” But after hearing Nik's story, you'll understand just how quickly things can spiral—and why, in moments of pressure, the best thing you can do is slow down, stay deliberate, and trust your crew. What You'll Learn: Why "stop the plane" is sometimes the smartest first move How to expand your team when you don't have all the answers  How to manage operational curveballs (like MELs, reroutes, and shifting winds) How to create psychological safety in the cockpit Why speaking up could be the most powerful CRM move you ever make  How one FO's quick call potentially prevented a serious violation What it means to be “confident enough to be unconfident” CONNECT WITH US Are you ready to take your preparation to the next level?

Check out my newsletter at TKOPOD.com and join my new community at TKOwners.comHoldCo Bros are back! In this one, Nik and I talk through some crazy profitable ideas for local service businesses that almost anyone could start. It all kicked off when a real-life hot tub crew showed up at my Airbnb just as I was scripting a video about them. We dug into why hot tub maintenance and moving services are such great opportunities. We also talked about launching a lake house concierge business, touchless vacation rental SaaS tools, and even a boat and paddleboard rental monopoly that charges $95 a tube. Toward the end, we shared a genius cold outreach trick using Shopify and a creative lead gen strategy based on building AI-powered directories. Learn more about Nik here: http://linktr.ee/cofoundersnikShare your ideas with us:Nik@cofounders.comChris@cofounders.comTimestamps below.

Now, three years later, he's flying the Airbus and full of perspective on how life has changed since leaving the military and the regionals behind. Nik and Kenny dig into everything from training and culture to contracts and cockpit challenges. Kenny shares what it was like transitioning from Navy to SkyWest and now to American Airlines, and how he's handled both triumphs and turbulence along the way. What You'll Learn: The biggest differences between flying for a regional vs. a major airline—from culture to contracts. How military experience shapes pilot perspective at the airlines. What AQP (Advanced Qualification Program) training looks like compared to military and regional training. The surprising benefits of union support and professional standards programs. What to expect when it comes to hotel quality, fatigue calls, and operational support. How cockpit culture and pilot relationships evolve at the majors.  CONNECT WITH US  Are you ready to take your preparation to the next level? Don't wait until it's too late.

This week on Wasted Truth, Nik and Jill are joined by the iconic duo Christa and Jonda: owners of East Nashville's legendary Lipstick Lounge, Tennessee's only certified lesbian bar that's been slinging drinks and queer joy for over two decades. We get into what it's like growing up gay in the South, coming out, and what it means to run a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community in a state that isn't always so welcoming. Of course, it wouldn't be Wasted Truth without some unhinged bar stories, including a traumatic trip down memory lane featuring the infamous “doo-doo-thong” and the “water-meter-shitter.” Oh, and we also talk about Jill's bush….

In this solo episode, Nik shares a story about what it takes to succeed in today's competitive airline hiring environment. Sparked by a text from a friend and fellow Citadel alum who just landed an airline interview after years of hard work, Nik reflects on the mindset, preparation, and sacrifice required to stand out and seize the opportunity of a lifetime.

In a season of Stillness, but I'm still here. ❤️‍

In this solo episode, Nik dives into one of the most important, yet often overlooked, aspects of building a career in aviation - impact. Whether you're a student pilot, CFI, or trying to move up to the majors, the question is the same: What separates you from everyone else? Nik shares a story about a young pilot named Will who took action, stepped into leadership, and created real value in his community. His decision to start a new Professional Asian Pilots Association (PAPA) chapter at his university not only built his reputation—it earned him a scholarship and is accelerating his path to the airlines. If you've ever wondered what “doing the extra things” really means—or how to get noticed without hundreds of hours or a shiny resume—this episode is for you. It's not about gaming the system. It's about showing up, giving back, and leaving an imprint that goes beyond flight hours. What You'll Learn: Why impact is your most valuable differentiator How involvement in pilot organizations can help build your career The importance of proactivity, mentorship, and community How one aspiring airline pilot turned leadership into opportunity—and how you can too  CONNECT WITH US Are you ready to take your preparation to the next level?

Nik is back! In this episode, he sits down with Cherry Kan—an international student and first-generation pilot whose aviation journey is anything but ordinary. With grit, community support, and relentless resourcefulness, Cherry has paved her own way into the flight deck.
