Feeling stuck—or hungry for a community that builds things? In this episode, we visit Beth White’s Habitat for Aviation in Vermont—home of Women Build Planes—where an airplane hangar creates life-long skills, mentors, and belonging. This life-changing organization delivers a welcome roadmap that anyone can use to reignite purpose, start or join a project with zero experience, open doors for teens, and turn setbacks into community wins. Even if aviation isn’t your thing, the model for living with purpose that we celebrate today is for everyone.
