    Welcome Back

    Welcome Back

    Join us as we welcome back the podcast after a long hiatus! Mary and Danielle join the podcast once again to give insights on their time as flight instructors dring the past year and Jonathan gives updates on new episodes and how to watch the podcast as it is recorded live on YouTube!

    Note: This Podcast episode has been recorded live on YouTube, be sure to go to our channel and see these recordings as they are made! Since this was the first live recording we have done, there were some technical glitches and the fist 15-18 minutes of audio was pulled directly from the broadcast. This was because the sound board did not start recording until this point for the digital audio. But, we fixed it! Hopefully someone wont forget to push record next time...

Jonathan keep making this podcast

The most engaging element is hearing your progression to this stage of your career...the roadblocks, moves, flight instructors both bad and good. You took a shot at a small business. The law enforcement transition is fascinating, too. It’s so inspirational to learn about your story. Thanks for sharing the lessons learned. Keep going!

Entertaining, rich with information

You don’t need to be an expert (at least so far, I’ve listened to the first 4) to enjoy this well planned podcast. If you have an interest in aviation, becoming a pilot, or are a flying enthusiast, check this out! Fun guests, interesting perspectives!
