A pre-TPNx special! Captain Larry Radford from United Airlines joins the program to chat about his 30+ years in the industry; 25 of them being at United. This is a perspective any United hopeful cannot go without. There is so much great info in here and Captain Radford gives it to us in a concise format.
We also talk a lot about how to project the best you and how to give back; it's amazing that when you give, you get so much more back in return.
