#121 Getting to the Extra 10%, Will Smiths Advice

from Powered AF Hosted by Abu Fofanah

This week, I was struck by a moment from an interview with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence while promoting Bad Boys 4. What started as a promo tour clip turned into a masterclass on what separates good from great—and it hit so hard, I recorded an entire episode about it. Here’s the key idea: “The difference between 90% and 100%? It’s not 10%. It’s a lifetime.” Let that sit with you.

I was an airline captain. I still go to work on the flight deck. It's just a full flight simulator these days, and the pilots I train are the ones who fly you around.This is not a side project. Training pilots is my job, and I believe in the way an airline flight deck works. The structure. The discipline. The way a crew stays calm, works the problem and makes a decision after something goes wrong. Pilots are not born with those habits. They are trained into them, one session at a time, and that means anyone can learn them. They also work for the engine failures of life: the job that disappears, the diagnosis, the decision you have to make with half the information and no time. I want to give you the tools pilots use, so that when your moment comes, you have a proven way to handle it, from the most professional industry in the world.I do this from South Africa, a country I love and refuse to look away from. We sit at the far end of a continent, a long way from eve Explicit
