In this episode, Donnie G tells us how he got started in the eCommerce biz on eBay in 2015 and how/why he has since pivoted to Shopify. His aviation eCommerce site is now accompanied by a prime retail location of the same name in St Paul, MN. Listen in to hear the struggles and successes of this legacy airline pilot turned entrepreneur.

Note: I apologize for the hosts wifi and audio issues.

Ya’know those guys you have on the show that are there to boost your viewership and send you approval rating through the roof? Me either…that’s why we have our brothers at arms and favorite crew members on. We’d rather sink with the best of them than swim with the worst. That said these two heroes, and veterans, set the bar pretty high. Don’t let the over-talking, ego chest-bumping, and decibels fool you, these guys would go to the end and back if asked. They even have kids…yikes!…and maintain Great Husbandry status. Not to mention get involved with their communities and set the standard for giving back. 

 

…but they’re still pirates damn it!!!!!

Zing is a drone delivery platform that enables pilots to make deliveries for compensation.  Check out this podcast to learn about Ian and how he got his start as a leader in the fledgling drone delivery business.

Inspirational words from those that have done it...continue to impress with their mindful acts of giving back and the professionalism in aviation that fuels that dogma. These are men, that despite the current climate, have found ways to pivot and move forward with a sense of purpose to get them through the adversity the season brings...and come out on the other end more enlightened, community engaged, and hopefully just enough seniority to stay off any chopping blocks. Enjoy!

This week, Love interviews James Wilkerson.  From Australia, he hosts the WAYFARER travel show.  As a travel expert focusing on the executive, lifestyle, and business traveler, he has become a staple on ‘breakfast tv’ and late night news in Australia.  Check him out at the links below!

Tally Ho! is an app that connects aircraft owners/operators with aircraft maintainers- wherever their aircraft might be. In this episode we discuss this entrepreneurs startup journey, as he tries to fill a void that he experienced first hand when he purchased his first aircraft; a 40 year old Baron.

Sticks and Stones...but squadron call signs are forever! The beauty of a good flying squadron is gender equality. We treat each other equally as crap like as the next poor schmuck that walks through those maintenance doors looking to the skies in hopes of effortless flight. We know the reality...and we have Michelle “Face” Fischer and Dean “The Hut” Rancourt to shed some light on some changes after getting wings clipped and tuck’n rolling to the ground.

Joe started taking pics with his cell phone while on the job as a baggage handler at Chicago O’hare. He then joined Instagram to post his pics- despite his airlines policy regarding social media. Time Magazine found his page, and he was forced to share his hobby with his employers. As a result, he ended up becoming a photographer for United Airlines.
