Only about 2% of aircraft pilots and flight engineers are Black. A group of men, inspired by the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen, is trying to change that by highlighting careers in aviation. A KCUR reporter visited Red Tail Academy to learn about why that number is so low.

Most churches don't document any of their weekend process — it lives in the heads of a few key volunteers, and that's the entire reason you can't take a vacation, can't trust a backup operator, and keep getting Galatians spelled wrong on the slides at 9:58am on a Sunday. They get into why the conversation about checklists usually loses people in the first ten seconds (it sounds like "monkey work," it sounds bureaucratic, it sounds like a pilot's pre-flight that has nothing to do with worship) and why every one of those objections is actually the point. Dillan walks through the pastor who texted him after a "train wreck" weekend — no real disasters, just a stack of small, completely avoidable mistakes that no one caught because no one was checking — and uses it as the anchor for the rest of the conversation. They unpack what should actually be on a pre-service checklist beyond the technical stuff (greeting the band on stage, confirming lighting colors match the worship backgrounds, coordinating with ushers on doors), and Dillan makes the case that the leader's checklist is the one most churches skip entirely — and that leaders who can't remember to pray before rehearsal need that prompt more than they think. They get into why putting prayer on a checklist isn't unspiritual, it's honest, and why the documented version of your process is what lets you take a vacation, lets a key volunteer take a few months off when life gets hard without you treating them like a betrayal, and lets a backup operator step in without burning down the Sunday. They close with a walkthrough of the new checklists feature inside MxU — recurring checklists auto-assigned to whoever's scheduled in Planning Center, completion timestamps visible to the leader, accountability built in — and a Chernobyl reference that, depending on your tolerance for hyperbole, is either a stretch or exactly right.Check out our FREE Team Night Guide: https://getmxu.com/resources/team-night-guide/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=checklistsFREE RESOURCES

This week we're turning the clock back to 1992 to revisit Core, the breakout debut album from Stone Temple Pilots. From "Plush" and "Creep" to "Sex Type Thing" and "Wicked Garden," we discuss the album's biggest songs, its place in the grunge era, and whether it deserves more credit as one of the defining rock records of the decade.Along the way, we dig into the history of the band, the criticism they faced during their rise, and how Core has held up more than 30 years later. Was STP unfairly dismissed by critics? Then it's draft time as we select the best original band names in music history. From legendary classics to creative oddities, we build our ultimate rosters of bands whose names were memorable before we ever heard a single note of their music.Support our show and join our Patreon!If you enjoy the show, please rate and review us on the iTunes/Apple Podcasts app or wherever you listen.

Charlene Li makes the case that AI is a leadership and strategy test, not a tech rollout — and that most organizations stall because they hand AI to IT instead of owning it as a CEO-level priority. She explains why leaders should kill their pilots, why speed has become the real competitive moat, and why the smartest companies are using AI for value reclamation — building new capabilities and services — instead of just cutting headcount. She also lays out the four building blocks of AI fluency: mindset, skill set, tool set, and decision set, and makes the case for a dedicated AI value owner who keeps the whole organization moving at the same tempo. Sebastian Wernicke shifts the conversation to the foundation underneath all of this: data. He argues that most data initiatives fail not because of bad tools, but because organizations misunderstand data's actual purpose — which is change, not dashboards. He debunks three persistent myths — that data is objective, that it speaks for itself, and that it provides clean, definitive answers — and explains why psychological safety, not better software, is what actually lets data change minds inside an organization. Together, Li and Wernicke offer a practical, unified roadmap: clarify your strategy, empower real ownership, invest in fluency, and build a culture where data — and leaders — can be wrong in public without consequence.

In this episode of Pilots Say What?, we sit down with John Duluth, a board member at the National Transportation Safety Board, retired American Airlines pilot, former 787 captain, and former Air Force C-130 pilot. John explains what the NTSB really does, how it differs from the FAA, and why accident reports can be one of the most valuable learning tools for student pilots, CFIs, airline pilots, mechanics, and anyone pursuing a career in aviation.

Today's episode of the Punk CX podcast is Part One of a two-parter featuring a series of chats I had with Pega executives and one of their clients while at Pegaworld in Las Vegas last week. In this episode, I talk with Ken Stillwell, COO & CFO at Pega and Peter Lacroix, Head of Low-Code, Achmea, a long-time customer of Pega's. Some of the things we cover include the big themes and takeaways from the event, a CFO's perspective on tokenmaxxing and tokenomics, Pega's response, Achmea's journey with Pega, how they are using various parts of their platform and the impact on their customers and business. This interview follows on from my recent interview – Customer experience is becoming autonomous – Interview with Andrew Bialecki of Klaviyo – and is number 591 in the series of interviews with authors and business leaders who are doing great things, providing valuable insights, helping businesses innovate and delivering great service and experience to both their customers and their employees. #PegaPartner

Across every industry, boards are approving AI budgets. Inside many enterprises, however, the reality is the same. Pilots never scale, tools sit unused, and transformation programmes struggle to justify their investment. In this episode of the Tech Transformed podcast, host Trisha Pillay sits down with Darin Patterson, VP of Product Advocacy and Market Strategy at Make, to find out what separates the organisations genuinely operationalising AI from those still running expensive experiments.AI Adoption GapEnterprise AI investment is accelerating. What is not accelerating at the same pace is business value. Patterson is direct about why he believes that most organisations are measuring the wrong things, assigning ownership to the wrong people, and deploying tools before they have defined the problem."The AI adoption gap is real," Patterson tells Pillay, "and it starts at the top. Leaders are approving investments without a clear framework for what success looks like."For C-suite executives, this is a critical signal. AI adoption is not primarily a technology challenge; it is an organisational one. Strategy, culture, and accountability structures determine if AI initiatives produce compounding returns or accumulate as technical debt.Ownership ModelsOne of the most instructive conversations in this episode concerns who should own AI inside an enterprise. Patterson's position is that ownership must live with the people closest to the business function being transformed."Ownership models are often unclear," he says. "And unclear ownership is where AI initiatives go to die."When AI is owned exclusively by a central IT or data science function, it becomes disconnected from the operational realities of the teams it is meant to serve. When it is owned entirely by individual business units without central governance, you get fragmented tooling, inconsistent data practices, and security exposure. The hybrid model Patterson advocates centralises governance standards, security, and infrastructure while pushing execution authority down to functional leaders. This structure creates accountability at the point of value creation rather than at a remove from it.For C-level executives building or restructuring their AI operating model, the actionable question is: do the leaders of each business unit have both the mandate and the capability to own AI outcomes in their domain?Stop Starting With the ToolA pattern Patterson sees consistently across enterprises is what he calls tool-first thinking. An organisation identifies a capable AI platform, deploys it, and then attempts to work backwards to the business problem it should solve."Focus on your business process first," he advises. "The tool is never the strategy."This is especially relevant for executives evaluating vendor proposals. The quality of an AI platform matters far less than the clarity of the problem definition sitting upstream of it. Organisations that achieve sustainable AI ROI typically begin by mapping their highest-friction processes, quantifying the cost of those inefficiencies, and only then evaluating which AI capability best addresses the root cause. The discipline of process-first thinking also prevents a common failure mode by automating a broken process rather than fixing it. AI applied to a flawed workflow does not eliminate the flaw but rather accelerates it.Culture Is the MultiplierPatterson also points to a softer but critical success indicator, which is cultural adoption. If the teams closest to an AI deployment are not using it willingly and consistently, the business case will not hold, regardless of what the pilot showed.The final, and perhaps most important, dimension Patterson raises is culture. Technical capability and strategic clarity are necessary but not sufficient conditions for AI success at scale. The organisations that are genuinely ahead are those that have invested in building an AI-literate workforce, not just an AI-enabled one."Invest in people as much as you invest in AI," Patterson says. "The technology will keep improving. Your competitive advantage comes from people who know how to use it well."For C-level leaders, this means reframing AI investment as a human capability programme as much as a technology programme. Training, change management, and psychological safety around experimentation are not soft additions to an AI strategy, but they are core to its delivery.Listen to the full conversation with Darin Patterson on the Tech Transformed podcast.

Master flight instructor Rich Stowell says manual flying skills and decision-making skills are complementary, but they're often presented as an either/or choice. The spin master explains why that's wrong and illustrates it with his “power-push-roll” recovery for spiral dives, an overlooked threat in aviation. He also shares a new way to train pilots, which he calls “learn-do-fly,” emphasizing the importance of teaching at the correlation level. In the Ready to Copy segment, Rich talks about the biggest mistake CFIs make during stall training, tips for hand-propping vintage airplanes, and what martial arts taught him about flying.SHOW LINKS:* Learn-Do-Fly Training Standard: https://www.communityaviation.com/standard* Standardizing Roll Recovery: https://www.richstowell.com/standardizing-roll-recovery-in-general-aviation/* Learn to Turn: https://www.richstowell.com/learn-to-turn/* IFR Mastery from PilotWorkshops: https://sportys.com/mastery

Welcome back to #SoLeadSaturday. I'm Chibi version of Vaishali Lambe, and today we are talking about **Why Most AI Pilots Do Not Scale**.Let's simplify this concept.The important thing to understand about Why Most AI Pilots Do Not Scale is this:The model is rarely the only problem. Adoption, data, and workflow design matter more.In practical terms, this means AI is not valuable because it sounds impressive.It becomes valuable when it fits into a real workflow.For example, in an enterprise team, this could show up in reporting, research, ticket routing, documentation, customer support, product analytics, or compliance review.The question is not: can AI generate something?The better question is: can AI reduce friction, improve decision quality, and help humans move faster with confidence?

Is now a good time for pilots to buy a home, or does it make more sense to wait?In this episode of The Pilot's Portfolio, Timothy P. Pope, CFP® welcomes back Kevin Walker, and Jade Barnett, respectively CEO and COO of Beacon Relocation, for a mid-year housing market check-in.Tim, Kevin, and Jade revisit earlier real estate forecasts and discuss how today's market is actually playing out, from higher mortgage rates and shifting buyer behavior to softer pricing in select markets like Florida.The conversation also covers why waiting for lower rates or prices may not always pay off, what “marry the property, date the rate” really means, and how pilots should think about buying a home within the bigger picture of cash flow, family needs, retirement savings, and long-term financial planning.What You'll Learn from This EpisodeThe market is not behaving the same everywhere. Some regions are seeing softening, but buyers should not assume every seller is willing or able to take a major discount.Florida is one of the clearest examples of market pressure because insurance costs have changed the affordability picture for many buyers.Waiting can be expensive. If a buyer is paying rent while waiting for a major home price drop, they need to compare the potential savings against the actual cost of delaying.Mortgage rates may not return to the unusually low levels buyers remember from recent years. Pilots should build their plan around today's numbers first, then look for opportunities to refinance later if rates improve.The purchase price still matters most. A refinance may change the rate later, but the buyer still needs to buy a home that fits their budget, cash flow, and long-term plan.New construction can offer real opportunities, especially when builders provide incentives or rate buy-downs. But buyers need to look closely at future property taxes, HOA costs, and lender requirements.Representation matters. Even with new construction, the builder's agent usually represents the builder, not the buyer.In multiple-offer situations, buyers should know their number before emotions take over. The goal is to make an offer they can live with whether they win or lose.Family support is becoming more common as the average first-time homebuyer age rises. But gifted funds, inherited assets, and crypto proceeds need to be coordinated with the lender early.Real estate can be a powerful wealth-building tool, but the timeline matters. If a buyer does not expect to stay in the home for at least several years, the numbers deserve extra scrutiny.Resources:Visit https://www.beaconrelocation.com/Schedule An AppointmentOur Practice's WebsiteSend Us Your Questions: info@pilotsportfolio.comThis episode is sponsored by: Beacon RelocationBeacon Relocation is a real estate firm helping pilots and air traffic controllers save money on their real estate transactions.

EPISODE SNAPSHOT Welcome to The Bryan Air Podcast. Career intelligence for pilots. We break down executive moves, economic forces, and the technology reshaping how pilots are trained, assessed, and employed. Boardroom decisions land on your flight deck. We translate them first. No corporate spin. Just the intelligence pilots actually need. SAA just made a move that should put every South African pilot on alert. The airline has applied to have pilots, cabin crew, and key operational staff declared an essential service, and if it lands, your constitutional right to strike goes with it. Because the Labour Relations Act regulates the function and not the company, a ruling in SAA's favour would not stop at SAA. It would reach across the whole industry and bind every airline whose crews do the same job. We break down whether the bid actually has legs, why the legal threshold is narrower than SAA hopes, and what it really signals about the pressure building behind the scenes. In this episode of The Bryan Air Podcast, Bryan Roseveare and Ryan Parrock break down SAA's essential services bid and what it means for pilot strike rights, the launch of Riyadh Air, Qatar and Emirates strategy in a disrupted Middle East, a fake Air Canada captain, and the latest South African Airways aviation news.

The conversation around artificial intelligence has shifted. It is no longer a question of what AI can do, it is a question of where it belongs inside an organization and how to integrate it into the fundamental operating system of a business. Brian Bryson, principal technology analyst at MIT Technology Review, has been tracking that shift closely, and his conclusion is clear: AI is no longer a technology problem. It is a change management problem. As one of the most trusted voices in technology research and analysis, Bryson helps senior executives, policymakers, and business leaders cut through the hype, understand what is real, and prepare for what is coming next. MIT Technology Review reaches millions of influential decision makers across technology and business, and Bryson sits at the center of that conversation, connecting technical breakthroughs in AI, quantum, and energy to the real-world business implications that matter most to the leaders navigating them.On this episode of The Reboot Chronicles Podcast, we sit down with Brian Bryson, principal analyst at MIT Technology Review, to unpack how AI adoption is evolving from experimentation to enterprise integration, what the most forward-thinking organizations are doing differently, why the convergence of AI, quantum, and energy represents the next major investment thesis, and how MIT is repositioning itself around the most consequential technology forces of our time. Bryson also shares his personal reboot story that taught him why slower is sometimes faster, and why rebuilding from the foundation up is the only way to build something that lasts.

Inside Britain's Skinwalker Ranch: UFOs, Cryptids & Psychic Phenomena ________________________________________Podcast Highlights: • The eerie parallels between Rendlesham Forest and Skinwalker Ranch• Can UFOs actually respond to human consciousness and intention? • The terrifying overlap between extraterrestrials, cryptids, and psychic phenomena• Why ancient folklore and modern UFO encounters may describe the same intelligenceRight now, humanity is standing at a fascinating crossroads. Governments are talking openly about UFOs. Military footage has gone public. Pilots, intelligence officers, scientists, and experiencers around the world are stepping forward. And the deeper the conversation goes, the more mysterious it becomes. Because it may not simply be about spacecraft in the sky. It may be about consciousness itself. About reality. About who and what we are. Right now, we're diving into one of the most fascinating cases in UFO history, the Rendlesham Forest incident, often called Britain's Roswell. And as my guest discovered while investigating the site, the phenomena surrounding Rendlesham may go far beyond extraterrestrials. My guest is filmmaker, musician, UFO researcher, and fearless truth-seeker MARK CHRISTOPHER LEE. His new documentary journeys deep into the mystery of Rendlesham Forest and asks a provocative question: What if the phenomenon is not just watching us… but interacting with us? www.nubmusic.co.uk ** More with Debbi

EPISODE SNAPSHOT   Welcome to The Bryan Air Podcast. Career intelligence for pilots. We break down executive moves, economic forces, and the technology reshaping how pilots are trained, assessed, and employed. Boardroom decisions land on your flight deck. We translate them first. No corporate spin. Just the intelligence pilots actually need. This week is a tale of two stories, and if you are a South African pilot sitting in a Gulf hold pool you have to decide which one is true. Story one is the barrel: Iran put drones into Kuwait International days after it reopened, EASA still says do not overfly Iran, Iraq or Lebanon, and BA has pulled most of the Middle East until October. Story two is the window: the UAE has declared its airspace normal, Emirates is back to three quarters of its flying, Qatar rebuilds past 150 destinations from 16 June, and the recruitment roadshows are still running. We get into why your start date keeps slipping, why you should not resign before you have a firm date, and where the work is right now if you are stuck waiting. So which is it, the barrel or the window? In this episode of The Bryan Air Podcast, Bryan Roseveare and Ryan Parrock break down the Gulf hiring delays hitting South African pilots, the Middle East recovery timeline carrier by carrier, and the hidden contract and charter opportunities back home.   TIME-STAMPED FLIGHT PLAN 00:00 Tale of two stories: barrel or window 01:55 The uncertainty pilots are actually living with 04:33 Roadshows still running and what that signals 08:14 Why your Gulf start date keeps slipping 09:33 Do not resign before you have a firm date 11:39 International market update and European Air Cargo collapse 12:26 The hidden contract jobs nobody talks about 17:19 Charter flying: the reality check at this stage of a career 20:35 Aviation news roundup begins 22:42 Middle East flight updates and the Kuwait strike 23:11 Champions League and the Emirates versus Qatar shirt war 24:27 World Cup SuperBrew plans 25:03 Bafana visa chaos at the airport 27:14 China stalls Airbus to clear the runway for COMAC 28:16 Qantas Project Sunrise takes its first test flight 29:04 Pilot shoutouts and fresh hires 30:35 Air Europa launches Madrid to Johannesburg 31:28 Captains Announcement: the wearable AI surveillance threat 37:24 F1 leaderboard and signoff   JOIN THE BRYAN AIR COMMUNITY Bryan Air is a career intelligence ecosystem for pilots.

Most high earners are told the same thing: your W-2 salary can't be sheltered. Tait Duryea built a firm proving otherwise.In this episode of Mechanics of Money, Sam Silverman sits down with Tait Duryea: third-generation airline pilot and founder of Turbine Capital, now the largest airline pilot investor network in the world. They unpack why oil & gas is one of the few asset classes that lets W-2 earners offset active income, why the "industrial vacancy crisis" is mostly a measurement error, and why Tait believes the next decade belongs to owners of hard assets, not holders of dollars.In this conversation:Why a narrow niche beats a broad audience when you're raising your first capitalThe real story behind industrial vacancy, and where the sub-2% pockets actually areSenior housing and the demographic "silver tsunami" almost nobody is building forHow non-operated working interests create year-one tax write-offsThe macro case for hard assets in an era of money printingWhy Tait is rotating toward private debt as net worth growsTopics covered:Tait's background as a third-generation pilot • building a niche investor network • the LP-to-GP path in real estate • industrial real estate and the vacancy myth • senior housing and demographic tailwinds • operating vs. partnering on deals • the case for oil & gas • tax treatment of working interests • building an investment team in-house • money supply and the dollar • interest rates and real estate values • the future of Turbine Capital • private debt and cash flow • travel and life off the clockGuest: Tait Duryea, Turbine Capitalhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/taitduryea/More from Silverman CapitalNewsletter & podcast → https://www.mechanicsofmoney.coWebsite → https://silvermancapital.comIf you're an accredited investor or family office, subscribe for new conversations every week.#MechanicsOfMoney #PrivateMarkets #AlternativeInvestments #OilAndGas #TaxStrategy #AccreditedInvestor

Understand how to close the gap between AI experimentation and enterprise production. Shub Agarwal, Founder of the AI Trust Lab at USC and author of Successful AI Product Creation: A Nine-Step Framework, shares his AI product management framework for taking enterprise AI strategy from demo to production, drawing on two decades of product leadership at Amazon and Fortune 50 firms. He breaks down why experimentation must tie directly to business OKRs, the four mindset shifts leaders need to scale AI responsibly, and how the AI Trust Lab is building a benchmark evaluation framework for AI model trust and governance. Key Moments: Why 80% of AI Projects Never Reach Production (02:13): Shub traces the root cause of stalled AI programs to a missing system for moving from demo to deployment. Most teams have no repeatable path to production. Shub's Nine-Step Framework for Building AI Products (06:00): Most AI projects start with a cool model instead of a painful problem. Shub walks through the three phases of his framework: discovery, execution, and excellence. The Case Against "Fix Your Data First" (12:41): Conventional wisdom says clean your data before building AI. Shub challenges that, arguing modern LLMs offer far more flexibility with imperfect data. Four Mindset Shifts for Scaling Enterprise AI (16:35): Shub outlines the four shifts separating organizations that scale AI from those that stall, from measuring AI performance differently to embedding trust from day one. Inside Shub's AI Trust Lab at USC (23:54): Major foundation models are already being benchmarked on trust and safety. Shub explains the lab's mission to build a standardized evaluation framework for AI model governance. Why Enterprise AI Governance Needs Multiple Disciplines (28:36): AI models can be sycophantic, manipulative, or lack candor. Shub argues that building trustworthy AI demands an interdisciplinary approach. Key Quotes: “I think the fundamental problem that organizations are facing today… is not that they have a lack of experimentation in the demo aspect. The challenge is they don't know how to take those demos to production, and that is where I saw the gap.” - Shub Agarwal “I do think data is the fuel for AI… But I think today organizations are crippled by this ‘fix your data, and then we'll build AI', and they never build AI. They never build use cases that are adding value.” - Shub Agarwal “There's no FICO scores for models, so I decided to create one. I built this lab… bringing the computer scientists, the researchers, the applied AI researchers, the policy, and the communication people together to think of what is trust, define it, and ultimately measure and evaluate it.” - Shub Agarwal Mentions USC AI Trust Hub Successful AI Product Creation: A Nine-Step Framework by Shub Agarwal Four Steps to Epiphany: Successful Strategies for Products That Win by Steve Blank Masters of Scale podcast with Reid Hoffman Guest Bios  Shub Agarwal is an associate professor of professional practice at the University of Southern California, an industry executive, and an advisor to start-ups and academic institutions.
