    MAR 3

    They Said It Was Impossible: 24 Months to Build a Fighter Jet (What If We Failed?)

    They wanted a brand-new tactical jet. From a company known for small civilian aircraft. Designed, built, and flying in under 24 months. The kind of program that normally takes five to six years. Twelve leaders sat in a conference room. As a sketch of the airplane goes up on the screen, excitement builds. Then Dale says the deadline. Collective gasp.Thirty-two “Yeah, Buts.” And one question nobody wanted to say out loud:What if we fail, publicly? Because this wasn’t partial credit.It was a one or a zero.Fly… or don’t.IN THIS EPISODE:In this conversation, I sit down with aerospace executive Dale Tutt, former program leader at Cessna Aircraft Company, engineering executive at Virgin Galactic, and now a strategic leader at Siemens.Dale has led teams through record-breaking aircraft development, walked into organizations mid-crisis, and helped deliver a spaceship to space under the leadership of Richard Branson. But this episode isn’t about aerospace.It’s about leadership under pressure.It’s about walking into a room where doubt is louder than belief.It’s about taking over teams you didn’t build.It’s about moving your family across the country when you’re not even sure where to start.And it’s about realizing that what got you promoted wasn’t your technical brilliance, it was your ability to align people, build trust fast, and define success before execution begins.If you lead teams, run a company, or are stepping into something bigger than you feel prepared for, this episode will pressure-test your excuses.WHAT WE COVER:Taking on a “five-year” aircraft program with a 24-month deadlineThe room reaction: 32 “Yeah, Buts” in minutesFlying in 23 months, and why scope clarity came firstJoining Virgin Galactic mid-flight testingCutting engineering attrition from ~20% to 7%“I’m not ready” — leading outside your expertiseWhy MVP thinking beats over-engineeringQUOTES:“If you don’t have the fear of failure, you’re probably a little crazy.”“We didn’t need a perfect jet. We needed a jet that could fly.”“I didn’t get hired because I knew how to build spaceships. I got hired to lead people.”ABOUT THE GUEST:Dale Tutt is an aerospace executive and transformational engineering leader.He has led major development programs at Cessna Aircraft Company, served as Vice President of Engineering at Virgin Galactic, and now works in a strategic leadership role at Siemens, helping companies accelerate performance through digital innovation.CONNECT WITH DALE:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dale-tutt/ABOUT THE HOST:Marc A.

    I'm scared of speed and height. I remember my first run and I just said, "You know what? If I die, I die." 3-time Olympian Devon Harris reveals the brutal reality of pushing a 650-pound bobsled into the unknown and why your current circumstances have zero say in where you end up. IN THIS EPISODE Marc Wolfe sits down with original Jamaican Bobsled Team member Devon Harris to dissect the transition from the toughest ghettos in the world to the global Olympic stage. This conversation moves past the Hollywood narrative to explore the cold, hard mechanics of mindset, the necessity of cutting off limiting relationships, and the Imposter Syndrome that haunts even world-class athletes. You will learn why little things done consistently are the only way big dreams become reality and how to manage the inner critic that appears every time you level up. Devon shares his transition from an Army Captain to a cook in a restaurant to a global motivational speaker, proving that a single success doesn't define you—the push does.

    From "Undraftable" to Super Bowl Champion: Ben Utecht’s Story

    Ben Utecht was a top NFL draft prospect until a career-ending injury red-flagged him as "too risky" for every team in the league. He sat by the phone, undrafted and devastated, until 5 seconds into free agency when Tony Dungy kept a promise that changed everything. This is the story of how Ben went from "damaged goods" to a Super Bowl ring, and the servant leadership lessons he now teaches Fortune 500 companies. IN THIS EPISODE: In this episode of The Yeah, But Podcast, Marc Wolfe sits down with Ben Utecht, former Indianapolis Colt, Super Bowl Champion, and author of The Champion's Creed. Ben shares the brutally honest reality of the NFL locker room where "No Excuses" is written on the wall, and how he translated elite sports discipline into a successful career as a Chief Culture Officer. We dive deep into the power of "Bold Grace," the specific moment Ben had to get on his knees to apologize to his daughter, and why he believes culture is a "pebble game," not a boulder game. If you are a leader trying to build a championship team without losing your humanity, this conversation is the playbook.

It was Tony Dungy." — Ben Utecht "Culture is not a boulder game. Culture is a pebble game. It’s about ripple effect after ripple effect." — Ben Utecht "I chose to physically lower myself... I’m 6’7”, 260 pounds... I got on my knees below my daughter to apologize." — Ben Utecht ABOUT THE GUEST: Ben Utecht is an NFL Super Bowl Champion (Indianapolis Colts), a national speaker, and a Chief Culture Officer.

    Futurist Tom Koulopoulos returns, and his biggest concern about AI isn't robots, it's us. He reveals why the choice to ignore AI is like insisting on a manual typewriter in a world that's already gone digital. In this essential follow-up, Tom shares why he now spends 3-4 hours a day working with AI and busts the biggest 'yeah, but' holding people back: the fear of the unknown. Discover the real, seductive danger of AI that no one is talking about, and why he believes there is simply 'no pulling back'. About Thomas Koulopoulos  Tom Koulopoulos is Chairman and founder of Delphi Group, a 30-year-old Boston-based think tank named one of the fastest-growing private companies by Inc.

Mr. Koulopoulos’ fourteen books include Reimagining Healthcare, Revealing the Invisible, The Gen Z Effect, The Innovation Zone, and Cloud Surfing. His latest book, Gigatrends, looks at the six tech trends that are shaping the future of how we live, work, and play. About Marc Wolfe Marc A.
