In this solo show, Nik shares a personal story from the flight line that highlights how small actions—like picking up a misplaced safety cone—can reflect who you are as a pilot. That simple moment led to a reflection on discipline, habits, and what it really means to build trust and professionalism in aviation. Drawing on the wisdom of Aristotle, Nik breaks down why success as a pilot comes from what you do every day—not just when you're in the spotlight.

What You'll Learn:

Why small, consistent actions matter more than big moments

How to build strong habits that make you a better pilot

The importance of discipline, especially when you're tired or unmotivated

Why integrity on the ground leads to trust in the air

How repetition turns training into instinct

Why your logbook tells part of your story—but your character tells the rest
