"There's Safety In Altitude" - What Flying Taught Me About Business

At 6,500 feet, Michael said something that reframed the entire show: "The reason why I'm up high is because there's safety in altitude."This is the first episode of Podcast in a Plane, five cameras mounted to a single-engine aircraft, one conversation, no cuts to a studio. But the plane isn't the point. Somewhere over north Georgia, a conversation about camera mounts turned into the clearest explanation of scaling a business we've recorded: why altitude buys you reaction time, why noise at ground level makes you respond with emotion instead of information, and why an aircraft without the right instruments can only climb so high no matter how good the pilot is.Michael also talks about the book he wrote twice and threw away. Three hundred pages, a manuscript two inches thick, and his own verdict on it: "Although it was my story, it wasn't my voice." What finally unlocked it wasn't better writing. It was a microphone.And underneath all of it, the reason any of this exists: "If I could just have one life changed, then it's well worth it. Well worth all of the cameras, all of the expense, everything we've done — to make a difference in one person's life."Then his plumber sent him a text.New episodes every Friday. 🎧 Also on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.#PodcastInAPlane #Entrepreneurship #Aviation #BusinessPodcast #Leadership #SmallBusiness
