Shinji Maeda is a Shin-Issei who is active in our community as founder and president of Aero Zypangu Project, a 501c3 non-profit organization he founded with his supporters. Its mission is “to provide opportunities and experiences that inspire hope, strength, and joy in people with disabilities, in youngsters, and in their families through aviation activities.” Through his motivational lectures and discovery flight lessons, Shinji delivers his message, “Nothing is impossible,” through his own life experiences. Shinji began dreaming about becoming a pilot when he was a kindergartener. “The view of Tokachi Plain looking down from my flight back from Tokyo, which was my first trip out from Hokkaido, was so beautiful. I remember I was convinced to become a pilot to see this kind of scenery all the time.” As a child, Shinji loved looking up at the sky from his father's farmland, thinking about becoming a pilot. After graduating from junior high school, he left his parents' home to attend Japan Aviation High School in Yamanashi Prefecture, west of Tokyo. From there, he was admitted to the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the College of Science and Technology, Nihon University. As he was striving toward his dream, he experienced a major setback in his first year of college. He was hit by a car on the street and lost sight in his right eye.   In Japan, you cannot be a pilot with sight in only one eye. “Many adults back then advised me that it's almost impossible for people with disabilities to play an active role in the aviation industry. I had been thinking about life only as a pilot, so I was totally lost,” says Shinji. He even thought about suicide. But harsh words from his high school teacher, who called him from Yamanashi, saved Shinji. His teacher told him, “Even if you die, the world will just forget about you and nothing will change. I will forget you, too. If you die here, you are the loser. The only thing that happens is that your parents will cry for you throughout the rest of their lives.” All his friends from high school and college also supported him in chasing his dream of becoming a pilot.   After graduating from Nihon University, he moved to the United States to earn a master's degree at Embry-Riddle Aviation University, Prescott, Arizona, with the aim of finding a job in the aviation industry as his career. “I realized that I cannot pursue my dream if I stay in Japan. I did research to find colleges outside of Japan which offer master's programs in risk management, which I started to become interested in after I suffered from the car accident. Embry-Riddle was the only option.” After graduating from Embry-Riddle, he started working as a technical coordinator at the North American Headquarters of ShinMaywa Industries, Ltd. in California. “This very first opportunity for me to work in the aviation industry gave me great understanding about aerospace production and its industry,” says Shinji. After working a few years at ShinMaywa, he was headhunted by his client at Boeing. “It was a great surprise for me. I never thought that I could get a job at Boeing!” Now he has been working as a manufacturing operation specialist at Boeing for 13 years. “My job is to analyze how to efficiently build the wings of airplanes and manage the process,” says Shinji. He has been successfully working in the aviation industry which he was told was “impossible.” Another turning point for him came when he was on a long-term business trip in Japan for Boeing. “It was more than ten years after I moved to the United States. But I realized that the sky in Japan had not changed. There were no pilots with disabilities in Japan,” says Shinji. He also questioned how most engineers in the Japanese aviation industry had no experience flying aircraft. He wanted to change this situation. When he returned to the United States, he obtained a license as a commercial pilot. He had previously obtained licenses as a non-commercial pilot and a flight instructor. Although he had already started delivering motivational lectures at different educational institutions, he then launched the Aero Zypangu Project to officially start his activities. With his instructor's license, he began leading “Discovery Flights” where anyone can hold the control stick on his airplane and experience flying. “My message with Discovery Flight is ‘you can be a pilot!'” It does not have to be only for those who want to become pilots. “It is important to give confidence to young people through this ‘I can do it' experience,” explains Shinji. He also started to warm up to the concept of a round-the-world flight mission to spread his “you can do it” message even further. Carrying out the round-the-world flight as a pilot and aviation engineer “Lucy” is the aircraft that Shinji took off in on May 1. She is a Beechcraft Bonanza made in 1963.   “I purchased her from my former boss at ShinMaywa. He gave me a very reasonable price after I told him about my round-the-world flight mission,” says Shinji. It was a long process after the purchase. “It took about four years. I worked with professional engineers who are experts in different areas to retrofit her. We replaced her engine, propeller, navigation system, etc.” This process was possible because of his career background. “Honestly, I used to be worried about whether or not I could really go around the world with such an old aircraft,” he confesses. “At that time, I met Adrian Eichhorn, who made a successful round-the-world flight with the same Beechcraft Bonanza 1963 aircraft in 2016.” When Shinji contacted Adrian, his reply was very curt, as he assumed Shinji was not serious like many other inquirers. But after looking at Shinji's serious plan in progress, Adrian messaged Shinji, “Sorry, I wish I had cooperated earlier. I will help you out.” After that, Adrian frequently visited Seattle from his base in Washington, D.C. to help Shinji and his mechanics team retrofit Lucy. With each retrofit, Shinji became fascinated by Lucy's old charm.   “Her aircraft body smells like the age of 1963. Through her, I can feel what the engineers in that era used to think when building the aircraft. It is quite interesting as an engineer. She is a beautifully crafted airplane.” Now, it is an age where new technology is always highlighted and appraised. However, “I feel this mission can also demonstrate the beauty of retrofitting old things. I want to prove that this old aircraft can go around the world if refurbished to the best condition.” Flying around the world is a big project. It includes over ten hours of intercontinental travel from Canada to Ireland, as well as from Japan to Seattle. There will be many risks involved. Does Shinji have any worries? “Of course, there are risks. However, since I am not visiting dangerous areas such as war zones, all risks can be under control. I can minimize risks by preparing for them,” says Shinji. During the four-year preparation period, he did all he could do to retrofit Lucy to the best possible condition. Through the connection with Adrian, who used to work as a commercial pilot, Shinji was able to conduct various flight trainings for possible accidents. His flight route was thoughtfully planned, including refueling spots and safe accommodations. Adrian gave Shinji much advice from his previously successful mission. Obtaining visas to enter different countries and understanding COVID-19 safety regulations were also part of his preparations. “So, once I leave for the mission, all I have to do is keep flying.” Message for the next generation In 2019, Shinji's father, who always encouraged him to pursue his dream, passed away. With his wife Makiko and their children. Shinji met her at work, as Makiko also used to work in the aerospace industry. “When I was so worried about financing, as I spent on Lucy as much as I would to buy a house, I earnestly told her about giving up the round-the-world mission. Makiko was mad at me and told me ‘don't give up just because of money.'” Makiko is the most understanding person of Shinji's projects. “When he was lying in the hospital bed, my father told me, “I finally understand how you felt when you were hospitalized for months after the car accident. It must have been hard for you as an 18-year-old young man. Everyone faces their own obstructions, small and large. You have overcome yours and your dreams have come true. Tell more people what you did so others can do it, too. “This was the last message from my father and it made me determined to complete the round-the-world flight mission.” “I think young people can feel hopeful by learning from a one-eyed ojisan (old man in Japanese) like me enjoying my own freedom, flying around the world, pursuing my dream,” remarks Shinji. “I indeed want to have young people especially with handicaps and disabilities to have dreams and step forward with them.” His passion and energy simply pursuing his dreams flying around-the-world on his own should surely inspire people in the current pandemic recovery period.

Aaron Shaffer began his career with KYB in 2002 as a Territory Sales Manager after working in several auto parts stores. In 2003, Shaffer was promoted to manage the introduction of KYB into an auto parts wholesaler with 300 locations. In 2004, he relocated to KYB’s headquarters in Addison Illinois, where he was named Customer Service Manager. In this role, he managed a team of 11, improving policies and procedures to adjust to KYB’s growing aftermarket business. Mid-way through 2005 Shaffer became KYB’s Marketing Manager. As Marketing Manager, his responsibilities included Advertising, Public Relations, and Pricing. He helped to create KYB’s first National Marketing Calendar, and was involved in many special projects including the launch of KYB’s complete corner assembly, Strut-Plus, and the introduction of KYB’s service provider-focused training initiatives.

Shaffer recently moved to Indianapolis to work out of KYB’s North American Headquarters and was named the Director of Product and Marketing. He is responsible for new product development and introductions as well as marketing materials, national promotions and all public relations activity. Listen to Aaron’s previous episodes (https://remarkableresults.biz/?s=%22Aaron+Shaffer%22) . Key Talking Points He listens to what the service provider tells their customers about why they should choose a premium product over a value line. They say ‘It Will Last Longer’ A wrong assumption based on how long they will keep their car or how hard they are on their vehicle. Reality why premium over value. It is about the performance of that part on the vehicle and how that part works to keep the vehicle operation as the manufacturer intended. So much new technology being built into vehicles today with amazing safety systems. These safety systems rely on mechanical components. Consider the performance of systems if you are putting parts on that are not OE intended.   Tell the motorist how the performance of the replacement part is related to the whole system so everything works as the OE intended.

And probes what they are passionate about !! External self-awareness is how other people see us !!  It is indeed a journey to learn about one”s self !! The goal is Professional and Personal Growth !! Only about 15 percent of the population has a true sense of Self- Awareness !!!  It involves Trust and Courage !! Mentoring from both sides, people who have mentored me; Mike Howarth, Mac McGovern and Dr. John Passante and people I have helped and coached The importance of a plan and setting aside specific times to meet. Having a brief agenda is also helpful Always asking mentees questions, always challenging their thought process and most importantly standing with them when they fail. I believe that a lot of today’s younger employees really lack confidence....

 Two Wheeled Nomad / Royal Enfield Two years ago we had Lisa Morris and Jason Spafford, Two Wheeled Nomad, on ARR. At the time Lisa was a newbie to riding, and the trip was just in the beginning stages. Recently, Jim talked with Lisa and Jason about what they've been up to as they plan the next leg of their adventure. Where are they headed to and is there any end in sight to their moto adventure? And on the heels of the grand opening of the Royal Enfield North America headquarters and first flagship showroom opening, Jim had the opportunity to discuss the future of the Royal Enfield motorcycle with Siddartha Lal, CEO of Royal Enfield and Rod Copes, President of Royal Enfield North America. Will an adventure bike be coming to North America? Two Wheeled Nomad - Lisa Morris & Jason Spafford Two years on the road, and still going strong, Lisa and Jason talk about their adventures and future plans. Lisa is a travel writer and Jason is an adventure photographer, both freelancing on the road to help keep up their nomadic lifestyle.

NEW ROOTS Replanting can be tough. Just ask any backyard horticulturist how easy it is to move a ten-year-old tree. It's not. So imagine the degree of difficulty of moving a nearly 50-year-old company -- not within the same city or even the same state, but some 2,000 miles away. But that's just what Nissan did with its North American Headquarters. Two years ago the company rocked the automotive world with the news that it was leaving Orange County, California for the rolling hills of Nashville, Tennessee. And just last month that move became a reality as Nissan dedicated its $100-million North American HQ Campus. With a number of politicians, guests and employees looking on, the company's CEO Carlos Ghosn flew in to officially open the facility. Normally that would be news unto itself, but during his short visit to Tennessee, Mr. Ghosn sat down with John McElroy for a wide-ranging exclusive one-on-one discussion on all things automotive. From the oil crisis to electric cars to future partnerships, the twenty-minute interview even broke a little news, but we won't spoil the surprise here. At the same time, don't forget you can always catch our Internet-only segment, Autoline EXTRA, at our website 24/7 along with our entire archived Autoline catalogue. Just go to http://www.autoline.tv/ and start watching.

On this edition of Autoline EXTRA, John sits down with Dominique Thormann, the Senior VP, Administration and Finance at Nissan North America. In addition to talking about Nissan’s new North American Headquarters in Tennessee, Mr. Thormann gives his perspective on the changing market and how Nissan has responded. And he also reveals when Nissan is looking to bring out electric vehicles for the U.S. market.

Nissan recently unveiled its new $100 million North American Headquarters in Franklin, TN and on this edition of Autoline EXTRA Rob Traynham the Director of Corporate Services at Nissan North America, gives Autoline a preview of the new building. He explains how it was designed “inside out”, meaning it was designed with employee’s interests in mind. And you get a look at the environmental and technological features of the building.
