In this solo show, Nik reflects on one of the most overlooked yet critical parts of pilot development—reps. Whether you're learning to fly, prepping for an interview, or stepping into leadership, repetition builds the confidence, clarity, and capability you need to succeed.

With a packed schedule of pilot hiring expos on the horizon, Nik shares a personal reminder to aspiring aviators: don't wait until the last minute. Get your reps in now. Drawing on his own experience—where he completed more mock interviews than anyone in Spitfire history—Nik explains how consistent, intentional preparation not only removes doubt, but makes you more agile, professional, and confident under pressure.

What You'll Learn:

Why repetition is essential at every stage of your pilot career

How building muscle memory improves your performance in the sim, flight deck, and interview room

The difference between showing up confident versus showing up unprepared

What real preparation looks like—and how it can give you an edge at hiring events and beyond

Why even a failed opportunity can become a launchpad—if you've done the work
