#108 Steve Dinn - PAL Aerospace

Send us Fan MailSteve Dinn grew up in St. John’s with a brief stint in Ontario after graduating from university. Steve participated in numerous sports and his parents were very supportive. His father said he was “broke one time in his life and would never let it happen again.” That made Steve more conservative than others and has shaped his decision making going forward. Steve worked directly for former premier Danny Williams and shares in this episode what that experience was like. From the political boardroom to the senior management of PAL Airlines, Steve continues to bring a unique perspective to his work and this province. Connect with Steve on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-dinn-08b897/#GaleForceWins New episodes every Tuesday evening on Youtube or wherever you get your podcasts.You can also visit https://galeforcewins.com/To message Gerry visit: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gerrycarew/To message Allan visit: https://www.linkedin.com/in/allanadale/Timecodes0:00 - #GaleForceWins season 2 intro2:12 Steve Dinn Introduces himself6:01 Royal St. John’s Regatta 8:21 Steve academic journey 10:17 travelling alone in the USA on business10:40 the very first sales presentation in the USA10:39 a very political family15:15 Danny Williams reaches out and brings Steve back to NL23:23 how role at PAL began30:20 PAL is a global leader32:11 partnering with Indigenous people39:03 things over the horizon42:35 “Don’t be afraid to compete one day and partner the next!”43:19 “You are in change of you!” “Don’t sacrifice happiness!”44:08 “Live within your comfort zone but don’t be afraid to take chances!”Gale Force Wins started out simply as an inspirational podcast releasing episodes wherever you get your podcasts every Tuesday evening.
