What does flying a Navy aircraft have to do with running your small business? More than you think. In this episode, Jen Hamilton sits down with Ron Higgs, Naval Flight Officer, aerospace engineer, turned executive coach and Fractional COO. Ron unpacks the leadership lessons he carried from the cockpit straight into the boardroom. Ron works with technical professionals and business owners who have never been trained to lead (engineers, accountants, lawyers). He helps them become the executives their businesses desperately need. Together, Jen and Ron dive into: Why perfectionism is the silent villain holding technical leaders back How military mission alignment translates to team clarity and execution The "Aviate, Navigate, Communicate" framework and how to apply it to your business Why debriefing every project could save your company thousands of dollars How the Blue Angels model intentional turnover, and what it means for your team The power of feedback loops and continuous learning in building resilient organizations If you've ever felt like your business is flying blind, this episode will give you a flight plan.
