Zechariah Thomas started building hockey sticks at 19 in a sport that wasn't waiting for him. At 23 he was on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. This is what happened in between.A special Canada edition of Last Flight Out, hosted by Jay. Zechariah is the founder of Swift Hockey, a performance equipment brand out of Oshawa, Ontario that set out to challenge one of the most tradition-bound industries in sports. He's pitched on Dragons' Den, been recognized by the NHL, and named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list for 2026.In this conversation, Zechariah walks through what day one of Swift actually looked like, the resistance he hit trying to innovate in a sport that likes things the way they are, and how he thought about funding and survival before there was any traction to point to. He gets into the Dragons' Den experience, what was going through his head before he walked out to pitch, and how television changes a pitch. He talks honestly about what recognition did and didn't fix, what it means to be underestimated because you don't fit the traditional mold of the sport, and what he wants Swift to mean for the next kid who feels like hockey wasn't built for them.And in the LFO segment, he answers the question this show is named after: the moment he stopped waiting for permission, what he left behind to take the leap, and what kept him from taking the return flight to something safer.FOLLOW OUR HOSTS: Jay ➡️   / jloubriel26   Mike ➡️   / ifmikewashere   FOLLOW LAST FLIGHT OUT PODCAST: YouTube ➡️    / @lastflightoutpodcast   Website ➡️ https://www.lastflightoutpodcast.com Instagram ➡️   / lastflightoutpodcast   TikTok ➡️   / lastflightoutpodcast   Apple Podcasts ➡️ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... iHeart ➡️ https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-la...Spotify ➡️ https://open.spotify.com/show/2xZJhd2...#mikeandjay #lastflightoutpodcast #lfo #lastflightout #shorts #bts #dubai #abudhabi #uae #nyc #expat #latino #blackpodcast #latinpodcast #expatlife #hockey #swifthockey #forbes

Nostalgia lies to you. It edits out the boredom, the broke months, and the friendships that were never that solid, then sells you the highlight reel as history. Mike and Jay get into what they actually wish they'd known in their twenties.This one is about memory and how badly it distorts the past, and about the specific things you only understand about your twenties once you're safely out of them. Relationships, friendships that faded for reasons nobody names out loud, careers that looked like plans and were really just momentum. We also get into what changed when growing up stopped being private: a generation that came up before the internet kept receipts versus one that has every version of itself stored somewhere permanent, what it means to be judged now for who you were at nineteen, and where accountability ends and cancel culture starts.FOLLOW OUR HOSTS: Jay ➡️ https://instagram.com/jloubriel26 Mike ➡️ https://instagram.com/ifmikewashere FOLLOW LAST FLIGHT OUT PODCAST: YouTube ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/@lastflightoutpodcast Website ➡️ https://www.lastflightoutpodcast.com Instagram ➡️ https://www.instagram.com/lastflightoutpodcast/ TikTok ➡️ https://www.tiktok.com/@lastflightoutpodcast Apple Podcasts ➡️ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/last-flight-out-podcast/id1711422290 iHeart ➡️ https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-last-flight-out-podcast-323371807?cmp=ios_share&sc=ios_social_share&pr=false&autoplay=trueSpotify ➡️ https://open.spotify.com/show/2xZJhd2qIw5IxV4VBQufZn#Nostalgia #YourTwenties #CancelCulture #SelfDevelopment #LastFlightOut#mikeandjay #lastflightoutpodcast #lfo #lastflightout #shorts #bts #dubai #abudhabi #uae #nyc #expat #latino #blackpodcast #latinpodcast #expatlife

Ali Hassoun built the Middle East's first social wellness club. Inside PEAQ Dubai: ice baths, contrast therapy, hyperbaric oxygen, and why recovery works better with other people.
In 2019, a stretch of personal and professional setbacks sent Ali Hassoun looking for clarity. What came out of it was PEAQ Wellness Club in Al Quoz, Dubai, the first venue in the region to put fitness, recovery, and community under one roof. In this episode Ali sits down with Mike to talk about the turning point that started it, why he thinks wellness was never meant to be a solitary routine, what it actually takes to open a members club in this city, and where PEAQ goes next as he looks at Berlin, Lisbon, and Bali.
We get into cold plunges and contrast therapy, hyperbaric oxygen, breathwork and sound healing, Lagree and the Megaformer, the economics of a wellness membership model, and the brand collaborations that put PEAQ at the intersection of wellness and culture.

The new investments they are each exploring and where they are skeptical. And the segment only LFO can do — what it actually looks like to build wealth abroad versus building it back home in the United States. Mike is running a global, mobile financial life from Dubai with no 401k, no employer safety net, and no one building retirement for him. Jay is back in New York inside the full US wealth building machine — higher taxes, real estate roots, and the grind of being inside the system. Same goal. Two completely different games.

This is not financial advice. This is the conversation two friends actually have about money when nobody is watching. Real numbers. Real receipts.

He learned the fashion business from the floor up — Bloomingdale's, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Burberry — watching how the biggest luxury houses in the world actually work. Then in 2011 he bet everything on himself and started Fly Geenius. For ten years he pushed while the world wasn't watching.Then everything changed.In Episode 54 of the Last Flight Out Podcast, Mike and Jay sit down with Davon Bean — founder of Fly Geenius and the first-ever Creative Director of Streetwear at Vanson Leathers, a fifty-year-old American leather house. You have seen his work even if you did not know his name. The jacket DJ Mustard wore behind Kendrick Lamar on the most-watched Super Bowl halftime show of all time — that was him. LeBron James walking through the NBA tunnel in an Aimé Leon Dore x Vanson jacket — that was him too.In this conversation we get into all of it. The Bronx he grew up in. What those years behind the counter at Louis Vuitton and Gucci actually taught him that no classroom could. The ten years of Fly Geenius that nobody saw. How a fifty-year-old family business in Fall River, Massachusetts decided to hand him a seat at the table and make history. The Super Bowl week story — a snowstorm, a package, and five days to deliver. The French Montana collection at Paris Fashion Week. What Virgil Abloh's life and death taught him about pace, purpose, and the cost of building something great. And the one moment where, if he had chosen differently, none of this exists.This is the episode for every creative who has been building in the dark and waiting for the world to catch up.Subscribe to the Last Flight Out Podcast on YouTube and wherever you listen to podcasts. #lastflightoutpodcast #DavonBean #VansonLeathers #FlyGeenius #Fashion #Streetwear #BronxNYC #SuperBowl #DJMustard #Podcast #Ep54 #NewEpisode #NoFilter #BlackDesigners #CreativeDirector #Hypebeast #LeBronJames #FashionPodcastFOLLOW OUR HOSTS: Jay ➡️ https://instagram.com/jloubriel26 Mike ➡️ https://instagram.com/ifmikewashere FOLLOW LAST FLIGHT OUT PODCAST: YouTube ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/@lastflightoutpodcast Website ➡️ https://www.lastflightoutpodcast.com Instagram ➡️ https://www.instagram.com/lastflightoutpodcast/ TikTok ➡️ https://www.tiktok.com/@lastflightoutpodcast Apple Podcasts ➡️ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/last-flight-out-podcast/id1711422290 iHeart ➡️ https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-last-flight-out-podcast-323371807?cmp=ios_share&sc=ios_social_share&pr=false&autoplay=trueSpotify ➡️ https://open.spotify.com/show/2xZJhd2qIw5IxV4VBQufZn

Some people talk about relationships from theory. James Sexton understands them from the battlefield.Jay sits down with James Sexton — one of the most recognized divorce attorneys in the world and a familiar face from Diary of a CEO, Huberman Lab, and Lex Fridman — for a conversation that goes far beyond the courtroom. This one is about the journey. Who he was before the law career, the books, and the media presence the world has come to know. Why he chose matrimonial law when he could have gone anywhere.

What thousands of divorce cases have actually taught him about love, commitment, and what marriage really is when you strip away the fairy tale. The risks he took. The moments that shaped him. And the honest, unfiltered perspective that only comes from standing in the middle of people's most vulnerable moments for decades.

We also get into the lightning round — and his answers on soulmates, trust, betrayal, and whether more people marry the right person at the wrong time or the wrong person at the right time will have your group chat going.This is not a relationship advice episode.

This is a human story. And it hits different.

It was supposed to be a simple night out. It was not.

In Episode 52, Mike and Jay break down exactly how they ruined guys night — from the group chat that lied from the jump, to the factions that formed when nobody could agree on a plan, to the receipts at the end of the night that nobody wanted to see.

But then we get into the real conversation. The dos and don'ts of guys night that every man knows but nobody actually follows. The controversial takes on guy code in 2026 that will have your group chat going crazy. And the question nobody wants to answer honestly — do most men actually have real friends, or just contacts they occasionally see in groups?
