Erin Meltzer: from stewardess to pilot

Listen Later

My sister Erin joins me to share her journey from freelancing in the yachting world to becoming a commercial seaplane pilot.

We compare how her experiences freelancing in hospitality were different from mine in digital marketing.

She opens up about managing emotions and mindset during career transitions and offers practical tips for breaking into yachting or aviation: network like a pro, build versatile skills, and always know your worth.

Takeaways:

  • Freelancing requires networking and building relationships.
  • Success comes from attention to detail and providing excellent service.
  • Running a business is not for everyone
  • Having emotional support and managing your emotions is crucial during career changes
