In this episode, I’ll share some of my deepest, darkest secrets with you.

It all started with earning my private pilot's license a decade ago. Facing my fears of stalls and spins led me to flying competition aerobatics for the next eight years.

Now a vetted and competent pilot, people didn’t know I almost quit part way through flight training. I had *almost* convinced myself that I didn’t have the talent to learn how to fly.

Obviously that was not true, and the trajectory of my life changed because of my decision not to quit.

After pouring my heart, soul, and buckets of money into flying aerobatics, a couple of years ago, I made the decision to quit.

I’ll explore the unrecognized yet huge difference between quitting because you think you CAN’T do something, as opposed to quitting because you don’t WANT to do something.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

-why sometimes it's a great idea to pull your dick out of a light socket

-the connection between losing and finding

-how ego and identity can be sneaky traps

-what aerobatics, whitewater kayaking, and landscape design all have in common
