Meet Griffin Bruehl, who is like a celebrity to me. I heard about Griffin when I first discovered private aviation, and he was immediately known to me as one of the people in our industry that were absolutely crushing it. Listen to us talk about finding (and making) your way in and out of this industry and utilizing skills that we get the opportunity to harness.

Meet Sara Potts, in the industry 18+ years--and as a lot of us, she stumbled into it and has fallen in love with it. She focuses on safety, throwing elaborate parties onboard, being one of the most organized and efficient people I know as well as has a habit of pulling rabbits out of hats; not to mention she does it all while also being a mom of two!

If you haven't heard the name Jamie Gibson in our industry...well that's highly unlikely. Jamie is the founder of Flightess an online flight attendant community and mentorship program. Her Instagram is full of highly useful tips, tricks and recipes to make inflight. She is an advocate for all of us to be FOR one another and with one another as a team in this industry. On top of that she is the most genuine and kind human, so take a listen and really soak up her vast wisdom.

Join me and miss Grace Dvornik talk about getting into the world of private aviation with a background as a deckhand and private chef on yachts. Talk all things cheffing and yachting and all things in between with us.

Come join us this week for an open and honest conversation about how to find work life balance and how to handle the high stress criticisms that come with our demanding roles as flight attendants. Carli Kline joins me for a conversation on her journey in this industry, letting go of feedback and learning from it, as well as just encourages all of us to keep searching for our "unicorn" account.

Michelle Hastie joins me to talk all things private catering and the process it took transitioning from a private flight attendant to a full blown private aviation caterer, The Deli Inflight. From the idea, to starting the company, to 2am wake up calls and 8 hour drives to complete orders. This UK based caterer does it all and puts thought into every aspect, down to the each label and package.
