Take a Moment | Don't forget about yourself! Aug 04, 2023

Show notes

We have often emphasized on the show that you should take a moment to work on your personal, professional, and family needs. Who would we be if we didn’t try to practice that ourselves? Joining us today is Nine, Six’s wife, and special guest from episode 18! We talk about taking those moments, the struggle of finding that work-life balance, the equal struggle of rediscovering de-stressors, and the understanding that each situation can have its own unique solution.

Sunken Testers | The importance of troubleshooting and testing Jul 14, 2023

Show notes

We rarely cover crashes and mishaps, mostly because when dire situations like these come up, it’s typically sounded around the land and the horse gets beaten beyond the point of glue. We do, however, want to take this time to emphasize the importance of testing, troubleshooting, and following proper steps to remedy shortfalls and mitigate risks before they escalate into issues which we may not have the wiggle room to escape from. At the time of this recording, the Titan submersible was lost at sea. What sort of lessons can we learn from this incident and apply it to aviation?

On-Time Performance | How punctuality drives maintenance Jun 30, 2023

Show notes

You may have heard us talk about it throughout most of our episodes, punctuality is one of the most critical characteristics of the aviation industry. It goes by different names, but On-time performance (OTP) is how punctuality is measured. What is it though? Why is it important, and why does it play a huge role in the execution of aircraft maintenance activities?

STAY Indiana | Helping the future find their future Jun 23, 2023

Show notes

We can all agree that sometimes the pathway to an aviation career can be rather muddy and very expensive. In addition, there’s copious amounts of bad gouge/misinformation out there that can deter someone from achieving their aviation goals. Today we are joined with Matt and Marty of STEM in Aviation Youth (STAY) Indiana; a newly created nonprofit organization whose goal is to give teens the opportunity to build an aircraft and learn how to fly it; essentially enabling the future of aviation.

You can find out more about STAY Indiana at their social medias and website at:

The Dunning-Kruger Effect | The overconfidence in inability Jun 16, 2023

Show notes

Have you ever experienced someone who believes they are more capable in an ability, skill, or knowledge in a certain area than they actually are? Is this narcissistic or is the person genuinely unaware of their ignorance? What you have witnessed is a cognitive bias called the “Dunning-Kruger” effect. Requested by one of our supporters, we dive into what this bias is, give some common examples of what you may find in everyday life, how we all might be guilty of it, and most importantly how to counteract this.

Rest days are the best days! Jun 09, 2023

Show notes

We often hear that the best way to minimize burn out/exhaustion is to take a rest day. What if we don't know when that rest day will come, or worse what if we use that rest day as a "catch up" day, and end up using it to do more work? Today we explore ways to give yourself break, identify the the time off, and ways to effectively take advantage of it.

The "Anti-Handbook" Handbook | How to set clear expectations Jun 02, 2023

Show notes

Handbooks spell all the governing policies and procedures of a company, likewise what the expectations are. However, we’ve all seen those organization handbooks that are pages upon pages thick, and the sheer size of it discourages us from reading them. For this episode, we take a look at “the anti-handbook” handbook from the Tesla company, explore our thoughts on it, and give some tips on how to set expectations for both leaders and employees.

A sample of Tesla's "anti handbook" can be found at various websites, including:
