    Frank Swoboda's MIP Podcast | Kent Crawford (Seaport Airlines)

    What happens when a frustrated traveler decides the entire airline industry is doing it wrong… and then builds a better version himself? In this episode, Frank sits down with Kent Craford, owner and CEO of Seaport Airlines, for a conversation that’s equal parts unconventional, insightful, and wildly entertaining. From an unexpected connection through PR guru Jeff Bell, to stories of raising his kids on a houseboat along the Columbia River, Kent’s life is anything but ordinary. But at the heart of this episode is the bold idea that launched his airline journey. At just 30 years old, Kent looked at the reality of regional travel and couldn’t make sense of it. Why should flying from Spokane to Seattle take just as long, door-to-door, as driving? Instead of accepting it, he reimagined it. His solution? A radically different model:Smaller planes.Private airfields.No TSA lines.And a streamlined, consumer-first experience that actually saves time. Now, years later, he’s reignited that vision and Seaport Airlines is taking off again, stronger than ever. This is a story about questioning the system, building from the outside in, and having the conviction to do things differently when everyone else says “that’s just how it is.” If you’ve ever felt like there has to be a better way… this episode is for you.
