Today’s podcast is about passion. Sometimes at a ball game, the military sends a flight of jets over head. That gives me a chill. Pride will do that to a guy. Pride and passion. I’m a pilot and I know how hard it is to fly tight formation like that. The wing man is sometimes only literally inches away from the lead’s tailfeathers…and they’re doing a zillion MPH. That takes skill and courage. And passion. There’s no such thing as a passionless pilot. You’ve got to have something burning your insides for you to want to climb into an airplane, make it go as fast as it can down a runway, lean back and leave the earth. And when you get up in the air, nobody is going to help you put it back down again. Landing an airplane is basically a controlled crash into a planet. Pilots say “Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing. If you can use the airplane again, it’s a great landing.” Wanting to do that goes way beyond logic. It takes passion. The day before Valentine’s day is a good day to talk about passion. Please give today’s podcast a listen.
