They say you are the sum of the 5 people you spend the most time with. In this episode of the #DoorGrowShow, property management growth expert Jason Hull shares the importance of surrounding yourself with like-minded people, including growth-oriented entrepreneurs in the property management industry. You'll Learn [01:24] The 3 Key Ingredients for Building Friendships [08:56] Creating Connections in Entrepreneurship [16:46] The Importance of Physical Proximity and Community Quotables “If you don't have the connections, the network, the friends, the success that you're hoping for, part of it may just be you don't have proximity. You haven't chosen to initiate stuff with people.” “They say you're the sum of the five friends you spend the most time with. You'll start to adopt their mindset.” “Not a lot of people are willing to get a coach or hire a consultant or invest in themselves or invest in their business.” Resources DoorGrow and Scale Mastermind DoorGrow Academy DoorGrow on YouTube DoorGrowClub DoorGrowLive Transcript [00:00:00] The fastest path to growth is to do it with others. [00:00:03] It's to have people that are playing a game. They can make mistakes for you and tell you what they learned. They can tell you what's working and you can try that stuff too. And it just helps speed up momentum. [00:00:15] All right. I am Jason Hull, the founder and CEO of DoorGrow, the world's leading and most comprehensive coaching and consulting firm for long-term residential property management entrepreneurs. For over a decade and a half, we have brought innovative strategies and optimization to the property management industry. At DoorGrow, we have spoken to thousands of property management business owners, coached, consulted and cleaned up hundreds of businesses, helping them to figure out how to grow, add doors, improve pricing, increase profits, simplify operations, and build and replace teams. We are like Bar Rescue for property managers. [00:00:56] In fact, we have cleaned up and rebranded over 300 businesses and we run the leading property management mastermind, with more video testimonials and reviews than any other coach or consultant in the industry. At DoorGrow, we believe that good property managers can change the world, and that property management is the ultimate high trust gateway to real estate deals, relationships, and residual income. [00:01:18] At DoorGrow, we are on a mission to transform property management business owners and their businesses. We wanted to transform the industry, eliminate the bs, build awareness, change perception, expand the market, and help the best property management entrepreneurs win. Now let's get into the show. So what I wanted to talk about today with everybody, one of the things that's really interesting that I've been thinking a lot about is proximity. [00:01:43] I want you to think about the power of proximity, location, nearness, distance proximity can be very powerful. So I've been listening to this audio book by Mel Robbins called Let Them and All About the Let Them Theory that she came up with, and I think it's a brilliant book. It aligns with a lot of other books that I think have really good philosophy and ideology in it. And one of the things she talked about is creating friendships and how to create friends and how as adults that's hard and why. And what she explains in the book is that when you're young, you have like... First, friendship takes three key ingredients, proximity, timing, and energy. Proximity, timing and energy, these three pillars of friendship. And when you're a kid, you have set schedules, you're going to school all the time, you're around other people for hours and it takes like 70 plus hours to make a decent friendship and like, I don't know, 200-300 hours to make like a really strong friendship. [00:02:45] And we don't generally get that a lot of times as adults. It's hard to get that amount of time with people. Can you imagine 70 plus hours with somebody. Like it's difficult to get that. So then we end up, we've got our spouse, maybe our kids like, you know, so we, it becomes really difficult. Not only that, but she talks about how at around our twenties there's what she calls the great scattering where proximity and timing changes dramatically for everybody. [00:03:12] People are like, you know, leaving, graduating college moving away. Like there isn't this set system that you're caught up in that creates proximity and the timing is the same, where everybody has the same stuff going on. Then there starts to be marriage and kids and traveling and like moving places and work and so timing shifts for everybody. [00:03:35] And just because proximity or timing changes doesn't mean that you're no longer friends with that person and they're now your enemy. Because their timing changes and you feel maybe like they abandoned you, but really as soon as the timing aligns or proximity aligns like you're nearby or you're at a similar stage in life again, like you both have kids now or something like this, you're both married now, then the friendship can pick right back up. [00:04:01] And I thought that was a different perspective. A lot of people, you know, I think as adults find it difficult to make friends and so it's about proximity and you know, the person you have the most proximity to is going to be your spouse. Like, you got to choose your spouse wisely. So I'll give you an example. [00:04:16] So Sarah lately has been really into flying, really into getting her pilot's license, not because she wants to someday become a commercial pilot and fly people around. It's because she wants freedom and it's this hobby and this passion of hers that she's caught up in. And she really is into power and achievement. [00:04:35] So she loves being able to learn and level up and develop skill in whatever. Like at a young age, she got a black belt in kenpo karate, right? And you know, she's this kind of personality, power and achievement is her basic need. So she's been flying. Well, because I'm around her and I'm in proximity to her. [00:04:54] I'm learning a lot about aviation, I'm learning a lot about weather. I'm learning a lot about all the stuff she's learning about because she's telling me and she's excited about it. And so, you know, just in proximity, and she just did her first flight. She just did her very first solo flight, which was like a big celebration. [00:05:12] And her instructor cuts off the back of her shirt because I guess the tradition is when your trainer would sit behind you in a plane and tug on your shirt tails to let you know if you need to go right or left because they didn't have the planes they have now, which is like dual control and you can steer. [00:05:28] He cut off the back of her shirt and like there, there's this celebration. I got to watch her first flight. I got to go up in the tower at Georgetown Municipal Airport or whatever it's called. That's near our home. And I went up into the tower twice. I got you know, we bribed them with cupcakes to let us come up and they were willing to let us come up. [00:05:46] I got to see that I got to see, you know, takeoffs and landings from the airport. I got to see the hangar at Pilot's Choice where she was learning and meet instructors there. And I got to see kind of her whole world that she's been involved in for months and get the experience. And eventually she convinced me to do a flight. [00:06:06] I'd never flown in a small plane. Like these are small, these are like, it was a tomahawk. This is what she's been learning in. because they say it's the hardest plane to learn in, and that's what Sarah intentionally chose to do. She's like, I want to be in the most difficult plane to fly. It's like a lawnmower with wings. [00:06:26] Like it's just like it's really tiny, no air conditioning. Like you get really hot in the summer. And I went and did my first flight. It was a discovery flight with her instructor. And I got to go up and experience what it'd be like, and I had no idea, like, I thought maybe it'd be like flying in a... I thought it'd feel like a rollercoaster. because you know, big planes don't get moved around a lot. I thought the little plane would feel like I'm like a rollercoaster, like my stomach's moving around and I'm like freaking out and whatever. But it wasn't that exciting. It wasn't a rollercoaster. It felt like just bumping around on the air. [00:06:58] Like it was pretty cool and I got to do everything. He had me do the takeoff turn everything except landing, which thanks for helping me land, Mike. We tried to trick Sarah that I had landed my first time and I was an expert because that's one of the harder things to do. But she didn't give us the reaction we were hoping for. [00:07:16] And because she knew we were messing with her, I think. So it, that didn't work, but we were trying to mess with her because when she first started getting her first landing, she was so excited. So he was like, "he's a natural have been teaching him, because he just landed the plane by himself," and she didn't give us any reaction, which made it not fun. [00:07:33] Thanks Sarah. So she knew we were up to something. Anyway, so it was it was an experience. I would never have probably just chosen to get into a little plane and fly it and do a lesson or any of this if I wasn't in proximity to somebody that was doing it. And so the people that you choose to be around... what I'm trying to illustrate... are important. Proximity matters. [00:07:56] And so if you don't have the connections, the network, the friends, the success that you're hoping for, part of it may just be you don't have proximity. You haven't chosen to initiate stuff with people. You haven't been around the right people. You haven't been around people that are successful. [00:08:12] If you aren't feeling successful, it may just be you're lacking proximity. It really can be that simple. They say you're the sum of the five friends you spend the most time with. You'll start to adopt their mindset. You'll start to adopt their goals to some degree, you will start to do this. [00:08:27] Who knows? Maybe I'll end up getting a pilot license too someday. I don't know. Sarah's so passionate about it. I might catch the bug. Right. You know, now after we get past this great scattering in our twenties as adults, you know, especially as entrepreneurs where we feel really isolated, we feel like nobody else is like us. [00:08:45] We're aliens. Everyone wants safety and security, and they want to get a job, and we want freedom and we want fulfillment. We're just different. It's important to create proximity and connections with other entrepreneurs. This is one of the things we've really worked hard to facilitate in our mastermind. [00:09:03] When people join our program, we get them connected with each other. Madi, my daughter, who's over client Success, who edits this podcast, shout out to Madi, while she's watching this and editing and does all of my social media and helps with organizing our short form videos and everything that we do. [00:09:19] But she's over client success. One of her goals or responsibilities in the results that she's expected to accomplish is to get clients connected with each other because we know that one helps them get better results. Two, helps them stay in our program longer because they have friends. And three, helps them just create relationships that can last a lifetime and that will positively impact their future and help them. You know, these are people that, in our mastermind that we attract, these people are people that invest in themselves and invest in their business. Not a lot of people do that. Not a lot of people are willing to get a coach or hire a consultant or invest in themselves or invest in their business. [00:10:00] I mean, that's. Those are rare people. These are people that have kind of realized that the hardest way to do it is to do it alone. They've struggled. They've figured out it's not working to like just do it all myself and watch YouTube videos and read books and think I'm the smartest guy in the room. [00:10:16] And you end up spending like a decade longer. You could collapse a decade down into a year in results. You could get a result in a year that would take some people a decade to figure out, because you don't have to make all the mistakes. Somebody else has done this. People can point you in the right direction. [00:10:31] And so this is one of the things that we're really trying to figure out, and one of the problems or challenges we're working on at DoorGrow is how can we create more proximity? When we did DoorGrow Live just recently, one of the things that we did is we went bowling. We took everybody like we went bowling. [00:10:48] Another thing that we did is we all we did a mixer and a, like a little group mingle thing. We played a game two questions and a lie. And people are just sharing all sorts of property management stories. They had to share two true ones and one that wasn't true and people had to guess. [00:11:03] And people were gathering points based on whether they guessed accurately, all three on a person. And then there's those in-between moments where people going out to, you know, get lunch or eat dinner together, or, you know, spending time in the evening together. These things create, this allows proximity, allows you to spend some time connecting with people and networking and creating those relationships. [00:11:25] And so you need to make sure you get in the room with the right people. You need to be around, you need to have proximity to people in your industry. You need to have proximity to people that are growth minded. And if you can find a place that does all of this, that's rare. And so this is one of the things we wanted to facilitate with clients. [00:11:44] And then if we find out people are near each other, like we've got a bunch of clients in Florida for some reason right now, we've got a bunch of clients in California. We've got a bunch of clients in certain geographic areas. We want to get them connected. You know, the fastest path to growth is to do it with others. [00:12:01] It's to have people that are playing a game. They can make mistakes for you and tell you what they learned. They can tell you what's working and you can try that stuff too. And it just helps speed up momentum. And it's just great to be connected with people that are playing a similar game that understand you, that don't make you feel like an alien and just hear what you're dealing with and say, why don't you just go get a job and why do you deal with this? [00:12:25] You know? And so. It's great to have that. So proximity. Now, timing, you need people that are at a similar stage in life. Well, if they are married, have kids are building a property management business, that's a very common stage. That's a similar stage that you could be around others in. [00:12:44] And that timing is the right timing because without timing you, it's really hard to connect and have a relationship or relate to these people. You know, like if you are married and have kids and they're out just drinking and partying all the time or whatever, and that's how you used to kind of live. [00:12:58] You're like, well, it doesn't kind of fit my lifestyle now. So now we're not friends. The timing's just off for now. And then energy is just the way she describes, it's kind of like the vibe or the connection. You can't choose that. Just some people you connect with well, and some people that you don't, but I think in general, you increase the odds of that dramatically by being around people like you. [00:13:18] You tend to like yourself, hopefully, and you're a good person. You're a badass. You've dealt with challenges. You started a business. You're doing property management, which is difficult work. You're building up your operations and you're focused on adding doors and growth, I mean you're going to find people with a similar energy to you, which is growth-minded positive focus, active, action takers. [00:13:41] And so if you can match all three, you can find people that you can create proximity to, that are at the similar stage in life, the right timing, and they have the right energy that you want to connect with and be around, and there's just that energetic chemistry or connection with them, these are amazing people for you to be connected to and it's going to make life feel lighter. It's going to make life feel easier. It's going to make life feel more fun. It makes things worth it. And so that's my challenge. That's something I'm going to be really focused on and working on because I've moved around a lot. [00:14:12] I've been in California, I've been in Idaho, I'm now in Austin, Texas area. And I've really loved the Austin area. It's been a lot easier for me to find people that have similar energy and there's good proximity to people with similar energy. There's a lot of entrepreneurs. There's an entrepreneurial culture here. [00:14:30] So I've really enjoyed being able to connect with people in the Austin area, and I made some really good friends, and we don't have to see each other all the time. We don't have to hang out all the time. I might see somebody like once a year and we're still like, we pick right back up and we're connected and we, that's how entrepreneurs work. [00:14:46] We're busy, and really good friends that are really successful. They're busy people. And then I've got friends that are scattered throughout the US and beyond that, you know, I've had a good connection with at an event or something, and I know the next time we get on a Zoom call or we hang out in person or whatever, it's just going to feel like awesomeness and magic, right? [00:15:04] Again, because they have the right energy and that'll be the right time to do it. And it doesn't matter if we're not connecting now, they're still my friends. And so my challenge, all of you listening is create some proximity. Make that a focus of attention. If you feel like your business is stuck or struggling. [00:15:23] Maybe look at the proximity of the business owners you're around. Are they stuck, struggling? Who are you connected to? Maybe you just don't have anybody you're connected to. You need a friend, you need a mentor, you need somebody you can relate to. You need people that are playing a similar game, and if we could help facilitate that at DoorGrow, we'd be happy to. [00:15:41] But there's plenty of other things you could maybe go try. It doesn't have to be us, but you need to be connected and you need to create some connections. And that could be through trade organizations like NARPM, N-A-R-P-M, the National Association of Residential Property Managers. It could be at local meetup groups. [00:15:57] It could be hanging out with other real estate investors. Whatever floats your boat, whatever makes you feel connected and valued. So that's my message for today is go create some proximity. Sarah and I are about to take a trip to Mexico. We're going to go connect with a bunch of people and these are people that just to be at this event, they've spent over 25 grand or more, some like a million dollars, like to be part of this group that we're going to see. And we've spent a lot of money to be in and connected with this. And so that's like, you know, kind of pay to play, right? There's a certain caliber of people that we get to be around that are willing to invest so much and we're really excited to meet these type of people. [00:16:38] You know, I'm in a local mastermind, an organization called Speakeasy and it really has nothing to do with drinking because we don't do any of that. But it's like we get together in somebody's house and like they're all local entrepreneurial business owner people and they're all doing really cool things. [00:16:53] There's some amazing people. So I've been able to connect with local people doing that. I'm in a mastermind for coaches and it's mentored by two really amazing high level, high net worth coach, people that run coaching businesses that may be a little similar to DoorGrow, different industries. [00:17:11] And so I create a lot of proximity and connection to that. And we go to that several times a year and sometimes hang out on Zoom calls related to that. And gosh, what else? And there's lots of other little things, events we go to, stuff that we enjoy. And so, proximity. [00:17:28] So there's power in just being around each other. And the other thing is physical proximity, not just zoom calls, but physical proximity. There's something different about that. There's something that psychologically switches in our brain that it becomes real, and we get past this, that everything digital is maybe fake or not real, and we connect with real people and we feel real energetics and like our physical body, they say actually energetically extends out feet from our body. They can measure this and we're kind of like an atom like the visible part is, what you can see is like right here, but there's this aura or energy or whatever extends far out. And so when we're in proximity, we're connecting with people. [00:18:08] We can feel them. There's an energetic aspect to this, there's a quantum physics aspect to this, and so proximity can be really powerful. So go create some proximity, people and if we can help you at DoorGrow, let us know. So that's my message for today. If you felt stuck or stagnant and want to take your property management business to the next level, you want to create some proximity with some cool people reach out to us at doorgrow.com. [00:18:33] Also, we have a free community. This is one little, not as deep, but it's a way of creating some proximity. It's a community just for property management business owners. We don't let team members in or other people in, we try to filter that out. We reject 60 to 70% of the applicants into this group. It's just business owners. [00:18:50] It's exclusive. You can get to that by going to doorgrowclub.com, and if you found this even a little bit helpful, don't forget to subscribe, reciprocate, help us out. Leave us a review. We'd really appreciate it. It helps us spread this message. It helps us reach more people and helps us have more fun and enjoyment. [00:19:10] We'd appreciate it here at DoorGrow. And until next time, remember, the slowest path to growth is to do it alone. So let's grow together. Bye everyone.

In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Ronn Berrol to unpack how a single hospital pilot became a 21-site success story—not by replacing Epic, but by solving the one thing it couldn't do well: surfacing the right data, at the right time, for the right patients. We dove deep into how high-risk patients can be flagged before they escalate into crisis, and how real-time data sharing across emergency departments can dramatically reduce admissions and improve flow. And the secret ingredient? A clinician champion who didn't wait for a committee to say yes—he created momentum from the floor up.1.Don't Confuse Your EHR with Strategic Insight Tools Dr. Ronn shared how even the best EMRs like Epic can bury clinicians in data. What made a difference wasn't more information—but surfacing the right information at the right time for high-risk patients.2.Champions Create Change, Not Systems Alone Technology alone didn't earn trust. It was the clinicians—like Ronn—who piloted it, saw value, and advocated upward that drove full-scale adoption across 21 hospitals.3.Pilot First, Scale Fast—But Only When It Works Many hospitals hesitate to adopt new solutions unless a clear ROI is shown early. That's why the original pilot funded by a hospital foundation was a turning point.4.Care Coordination Starts Before the Crisis With tools that flag social risks, housing instability, or medication lapses—this platform helped avoid ER boarding by addressing patients' needs before they spiraled.5.Modern Innovation Means Cross-Hospital Collaboration Emergency departments often operate in silos. But the real breakthrough came from sharing real-time patient data across unaffiliated EDs.6.You Don't Need to Solve Everything—Just What Others Miss What made this solution a win wasn't trying to replace Epic—it filled the critical gap Epic couldn't: surfacing actionable insights, fast.Have you ever been the “first yes” that helped an innovation take off in your org?Episode Timeline: 00:01:56 - How piloting EDO began through visibility gaps in local EDs.00:03:51 - Clinical inefficiencies and the importance of care pathways.00:05:50 - Workflow improvements reduced boarding and increased capacity.00:07:53 - How a charitable foundation funded the pilot despite cost concerns.00:09:37 - Dr. Ron contrasts EDO vs Epic and explains its push-not-pull advantage.00:11:17 - EDO pushes key info in 30-45 seconds vs long EHR chart reviews.00:13:42 - How EDO helps solve new CMS and system-wide goals.00:17:26 - Dr. Ron expands on how lack of access causes overreliance on EDs.00:21:48 - Key takeaway #1: EHR ≠ strategic insight tool.00:22:17 - Key takeaway #2: Clinician champions drive change.00:22:31 - Key takeaway #3: Pilot first, scale fast.00:22:47 - Key takeaway #4: Coordinate care before crisis.00:23:13 - Key takeaway #5: Share data across hospitals.00:23:30 - Key takeaway #6: Fill the gap, don't replace the system.
In honor of the cinematic release of the new version of Superman, we look at a pilot that was sort of the spiritual successor to The Adventures of Superman, after its 6 season run. This is one of those pilots that makes you ask why, between the premise of the pilot, the creepy costumes, and the overall cheapness in quality. This time, we don't have a dog of a show for you. We have a superdog!
Join our email list: https://coffeeinahangar.comSponsor Sport Aircraft Seats: https://sportaircraftseats.comIn this episode of Coffee and a Hangar, we sit down with Guy Morgan — a lifelong bush pilot, fisherman, and mechanic who spent his career navigating the brutal weather, shifting winds, and volcanic terrain of the Alaska Peninsula.
In I Learned About Flying from That, Episode 109, host Rob Ryder features experienced pilot Mark Brooke, who recounts a harrowing incident from August 1979 during his air taxi days, when a seemingly easy flight from a grass field near London to Leeds became a "nailbiter". Mark, then an instructor building hours for his commercial license, faced a series of converging "holes in the Swiss cheese lined up scenarios". His predicament stemmed from fuel mismanagement – opting not to take on more fuel initially and later skipping refueling at Leeds due to cost and a belief he had enough for the return trip. This was compounded by deteriorating weather, including a warm front with a dropping cloud base and persistent rain that Mark initially underestimated, changing winds that created a strong headwind on the return flight, and a late departure causing darkness to set in quicker than expected. Low on fuel, in worsening weather, and unable to get radar assistance from a closed air force base, Mark found himself "boxed in" with no easy diversion options, lacking an "out". The tense situation culminated in an emergency landing at White Waltham Field, a World War II-era grass airfield with no lighting, where a dedicated club member, Paul, arranged for cars to light the runway with their headlights. Mark's critical takeaways from this experience include the importance of never passing on an opportunity to take on fuel ("with fuel you got time and with time you got options"), being aware of the "dangerous time" for PPL accidents around 500 hours where pilots can become overconfident, always respecting the weather, and crucially, always leaving yourself an out in airmanship.

Quang Pham went from being a 10-year-old refugee airlifted out of Vietnam to becoming a Marine pilot, and the CEO of a NASDAQ-listed biotech company. In this conversation, he shares the exact lessons that guided each transition. Key insight: On decision-making: “As a young officer, we were taught to make decisions… there's not enough time to consult with everybody. You gotta make a decision to keep moving and then adjust along the way.” This became his foundational leadership principle across sectors. On capital discipline: “In the private sector and entrepreneurial world, resources are scarce… you have to treat it with the utmost respect and spend it wisely.” Military spending habits do not translate to startups. On performance and promotion: “You work hard, but you have to produce results.” Early in his corporate career, he assumed promotions would come automatically. They did not. On defining success: “You have to follow and pursue what makes you happy. Not what your family or your culture or society wants.” As a Vietnamese refugee, choosing the military was going against all cultural expectations. On raising capital without pedigree: “I lacked the skills to present to venture capitalists… so I spent a lot of time at Toastmasters picking up new speaking skills.” Within 90 days of leaving his corporate job, he secured venture funding as a first-time CEO. On pitch strategy: “You have to get to the key points… in the first seven or ten minutes, if not sooner.” Investors have limited attention. He focused his pitch on buyer, payment frequency, and execution, not theoretical market size. On cold outreach: “It was just three sentences. Who I was, what my company did, something about our common [background].” This approach led to two successful VC rounds. On leadership transitions: “I knew that I had the skills and the backing and that the baton had to be passed… the company flourished and I was then just a shareholder.” Founders must be willing to step aside to scale. On AI and decision-making: “There is somebody making decisions for AI, the decision to use AI, the decision to pay for AI… at the end of the day, we still need entrepreneurs and leaders.” This episode offers practical reflections for those navigating leadership transitions, capital formation, and decision-making in complex, resource-constrained settings.

Scottish pop-rock legend David Paton is one of the most quietly influential musicians of the past fifty years. Born and raised in Edinburgh, David made his mark as the founder, lead singer, bassist, and chief songwriter for the 70s pop band Pilot — the group behind the timeless hits “Magic” and “January.” These catchy, melodic tracks flew up the UK Singles Charts in 1974 and 1975, cementing Pilot's place in the classic pop-rock hall of fame.Pilot began when David, fresh from playing in local Scottish bands and even a short stint with the Bay City Rollers, teamed up with the late Billy Lyall, a fellow ex-Bay City Roller and brilliant keyboardist. With guitarist Ian Bairnson and drummer Stuart Tosh, Pilot quickly gained attention for their crisp harmonies, soaring hooks, and the polish of producer Alan Parsons, who helped shape their signature studio sound.At their peak, Pilot was more than a one-hit wonder. Their debut album From the Album of the Same Name (1974) and the follow-up Second Flight (1975) gave pop fans not just “Magic” but the No.1 UK single “January,” a song that topped the charts for three weeks. The band's unique blend of soft rock, glam pop, and radio-friendly hooks made them stand out in a crowded 70s scene.Though lineup changes and industry missteps led to Pilot's split by 1977, their legacy has endured. David Paton, the creative force behind the hits, went on to carve out an impressive career as a vocalist, bassist, and songwriter for other iconic acts. He played a vital role in The Alan Parsons Project, lending his vocals and bass to albums like Tales of Mystery and Imagination and I Robot, and fronted the progressive rock band Camel, where his vocals on “Heroes” from The Single Factor still mesmerise fans today.David's talents didn't stop there. As a sought-after session musician, he played bass on Elton John's hit “Nikita” and toured with Elton, worked alongside Kate Bush, Rick Wakeman, Jimmy Page, and even folk legends like Phil Cunningham and Dick Gaughan. His solo work reflects his Scottish roots too — with hauntingly beautiful arrangements of traditional songs by Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott.Still writing, recording, and performing, David's latest album, Communication (2024), shows that his knack for melody and emotional connection is as strong as ever. His autobiography, Magic: The David Paton Story, gives fans an honest, often funny look behind the curtain — from Pilot's dizzying success to the reality of life as an unsung rock hero.If you love timeless pop hooks, Scottish rock history, and the real story behind a band that gave us one of the catchiest songs ever written, dive deeper into the world of David Paton and Pilot — and experience the Magic for yourself.I know you'll enjoy the story of David Paton and relish the contribution he's made with his music.

We discuss: How speaking the language of scientists helps Arkady build real trust with founders. The AI tournament model he uses to identify 300 hidden human needs. Focusing on problems first, then funding an index of possible solutions. What he looks for in both founders and LPs. Why honesty beats hype every time. Why DPI is the only VC metric that actually matters. Quotes from David: “You don't prove your worth as a VC until you return capital to your LPs. DPI is the only metric that matters.” “The VC game is full of false positives—in evaluating companies and in how LPs evaluate VCs.” “The best thing an investor can do is give a quick yes; the next best is a quick no. Lingering maybes are the worst.” “Our technical unlock was agentic AI—it lets us evaluate hundreds of emerging needs for humanity in days, not years.” “We want to be the first check because what matters most is building deep trust with the founder, not just valuation.” “If you sold LPs on a strategy and you quietly abandon it, that's a breach of trust—it's like cheating in a marriage.” “A lot of people go into VC for ego or fast money. They won't survive. This is a long, emotionally volatile game.” “Stop wasting your life and start making a difference. If you're a founder, build what only you can build.” “There's nothing wrong with saying no—it's how you say it that matters.” “The founder's mistake is assuming your investors will make money just because you do.” “Great founders don't oversell—they're clear, calm, and self-aware.” Important Quotes from the podcast on Business and Entrepreneurship There is no skill called “business.” Avoid business magazines and business classes. - Naval Ravikant You have to work up to the point where you can own equity in a business. You could own equity as a small shareholder where you bought stock. You could also own it as an owner where you started the company. Ownership is really important. Everybody who really makes money at some point owns a piece of a product, a business, or some IP. That can be through stock options if you work at a tech company. That's a fine way to start.
In the first of our 8-part summer series produced in partnership with CommerceNext, our guest is Ken Pilot—retail executive, tech investor, and host of The Retail Pilot: Leaders & Legends podcast.Ken's legendary career spans decades and includes pivotal roles such as President of Gap Global, Factory Stores at Ralph Lauren, and leadership positions at J.Crew, American Eagle, and ABC Carpet & Home. He takes us behind the scenes of launching Gap Outlet, transforming a single underperforming store into over 100 high-margin locations in just 36 months, ultimately making it the most profitable division at Gap. The conversation then shifts to current macro challenges, particularly tariffs and global sourcing. Ken unpacks the "tariff math" few are talking about, warning that even modest increases could wipe out 10 points of margin, especially for smaller brands without pricing power or manufacturing flexibility. He anticipates a hit to Southeast Asia, outlines strategic moves by companies like Gap to diversify sourcing, and speculates on the economic implications for North American retail.Next, Ken delves into the retail tech landscape, providing a forward-looking perspective on Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), the emergence of natural language search, and how retailers must adapt both on-site and externally to remain visible and competitive. He highlights the companies he's advising and investing in, including "Curated For You" (an AI-driven occasion-based merchandising platform) and "Raspberry AI" (tools that help designers iterate visuals from sketches to campaign-ready assets). He also discusses the creative tension AI can introduce and how forward-thinking teams are adapting.Finally, we examine the potential of Retail Media Networks (RMNs) as an underutilized profit stream, particularly in a high-cost, low-margin environment. Ken balances caution with optimism, emphasizing the need for retailers to experiment, remain agile, and stay laser-focused on the customer and core product offering.

In this powerful episode, Lisa shares an unedited coaching conversation with Greg, an airline pilot who has significant wealth on paper yet still wakes up at 3 AM worried about money. This is context coaching in action—addressing the story problem, not the money problem.What you'll hear:The "Just Enough" Identity Crisis Greg has substantial assets and multiple properties, but his relationship with money is still governed by childhood stories like "money doesn't grow on trees." Despite his financial success, he operates from scarcity and wakes up anxious about lack. This disconnect between his actual wealth and his emotional experience with money is more common than you might think among high earners.Context vs. Content Coaching in Action Rather than coaching Greg on budgeting or cash flow management, Lisa immediately identifies that this isn't a money problem—it's an identity problem. She coaches to the pattern underneath his words, not the surface-level content he's presenting. This is the difference between treating symptoms and addressing root causes.Real-Time Transformation You'll witness the exact moment Greg has a visceral reaction to Lisa calling him "wealthy" and how she uses that as a gateway to help him step into a new identity. Lisa introduces the concept of pattern interrupts and gives Greg specific homework to retrain his brain out of scarcity thinking.The conversation reveals how Greg's scarcity mindset isn't just affecting his sleep—it's preventing him from doing more good in the world. He and his husband have already established endowments at his alma mater, but his "just enough" identity keeps him from fully stepping into his role as a wealthy person who can create positive impact.Lisa helps him see that holding onto lack mentality is actually a disservice to those who need him to show up in his full financial power. The shift from victim to steward of wealth becomes not just personal growth, but moral responsibility.Lisa gives Greg specific assignments: calculate his total net worth and use that number as a pattern interrupt whenever scarcity thoughts arise. She also challenges him to define what wealth means for him personally and plan how he wants to give back from that place of abundance.The homework isn't about managing money better—it's about managing his identity and relationship with wealth completely differently.Why This Episode MattersThis isn't theory or feel-good advice. It's real coaching happening in real time with someone who has significant financial success but is still trapped by old stories. If you're a high achiever who feels financially stressed despite your success, this conversation will show you exactly how those patterns operate and how to break free from them.You'll hear how quickly transformation can happen when you address the right problem. Greg doesn't need more money—he needs to step into the identity of someone who already has more than enough.Ready to examine your own money stories?

During our last group coaching mentorship I gave a mid-year hiring update and in today's episode I wanted to share some information from that session and also give you an update and advice on what you can do to get hired in 2025 and beyond. https://www.aviationcareerspodcast.com/mentorship/ Talking Points: The State of Pilot Hiring in 2025 […] The post ACP424 Pilot Jobs 2025 Mid-Year Review appeared first on Aviation Careers Podcast.
Meet Father and Son, John and Roy Diggory. John is a retired Pilot and Training Standards Captain, dutiful husband, proud father to three and hands-on grandad to six. "When Roy suggested writing this book together, I thought that it was a great opportunity to do something together and to share my passion and reassurance with those who find plane travel difficult. I have always loved flying, and I hope that my years of experience and insider knowledge can help others to really understand how safe it is to fly." Roy has spent his career working in behavioural science, coaching, training, change management and personal development. He is also a proud father to his three daughters. Despite his previous fear of flying, Roy loves to visit new places, and he has travelled to many parts of the world, for work and for fun. Roy also enjoys reading, writing, travel blogging, music, coaching and watching football, visiting theme parks and running (including several marathons). "The original book was going to be 'Third Time Lucky' as I am the third and luckiest Roy in the family. The two other Roys lost their lives in plane crashes. It is no wonder I developed an intense fear of flying. Being able to live with and manage this fear of flying is so important because I love to travel and there are a lot more places on my bucket list.” In this book, 'Feel the Fear and Fly Anyway' I share my personal strategies for coping with flying and I hope they can help others as well."#fearofflying #flyingwithoutfear #lovefly #turbulence #pilot www.lovefly.co.uk/courses/ FB - Lovefly Insta - @loveflyhelp Intro Music, 'Fearless' Daniel King

Hi friends! I have a new solo podcast episode going live, and in it, I'm sharing a practice that has become a cornerstone of my quarterly health routine: the EquiLife Detox. This episode dives into why supporting your body's natural detoxification pathways is more critical than ever in our modern environment. Here's a sneak peek at what we're diving into in this episode: What a detox truly entails (moving beyond restrictive juice cleanses) and why seasonal detox support can benefit nearly everyone experiencing fatigue, hormonal imbalances, allergies, or unexplained symptoms. The reality of daily toxin exposure from our food, water, air, and common products, and how this overload can manifest as symptoms like brain fog, stubborn weight, and skin issues. The science behind Phase 1 and Phase 2 liver detoxification, explaining why supporting both is essential for effective toxin elimination and to avoid common "detox flu" symptoms. My personal experience with the detox, detailing observed benefits such as increased energy, clearer skin, deeper sleep, and a significant reset of cravings. A discussion on why natural detoxification can be challenging in today's environment due to pervasive toxins and depleted nutrient content in food. My favorite modification tips for the detox, covering strategies for adjusting fasting days, incorporating additional fuel, and navigating coffee consumption. and so.much.more!

Episode 391 Show Notes Topic of the show: In this episode, RH and AG revisit a recent ATC radar and radio outage to explore why some facilities/pilots can't simply "call Center" when everything fails. They break down the structural differences between co-located and remote sectors and why redundancy didn't work as expected. We also discussed a listener's question about what happens when multiple aircraft are on conflicting courses: who has to move out of the way. Feedback 1. SGAC Patron AD asks how controllers decide who to move out of the way when a conflict requires the controller to make a move. AG and RH will be recording a live episode of Opposing Bases at AirVenture 2025, hosted by AOPA! Saturday, July 26 at 10am, AOPA Pavilion.
