Episode 24: “The Wingman Life” with Dr. Eric “Rabbit” Jorgensen

What if leadership isn’t about flying higher than others, but about flying alongside them?In this episode of Branching Out with Sierra, Sierra sits down with Dr. Eric “Rabbit” Jorgensen, a retired U.S. Air Force Colonel, fighter pilot, and executive coach, to explore the powerful concept of Wingman Life — the commitment to supporting one another in both business and life.Drawing from more than two decades of military service and years of coaching senior leaders, Eric shares what it means to be a “wingman” in leadership — someone who listens first, builds trust, and shows up with humility and consistency. Together, they discuss how the principles that keep pilots safe in the air — awareness, trust, and teamwork — can also help leaders create strong, people-centered cultures on the ground.Whether you’re leading a team, mentoring others, or navigating your own growth, this conversation will challenge and inspire you to think differently about leadership. True leadership, as Eric reminds us, isn’t about being out front — it’s about choosing to fly together.🎧 Tune in for stories from the cockpit and the coaching room, lessons in trust and teamwork, and practical steps to help you live out the spirit of Wingman Life.
