On the Right Stack - Episode 11 - Benjamin Bressler, Regional Airline Pilot

In this episode of On the Right Stack, Jason steps away from technology to tell a story about dreams. His guest, Benjamin Bressler, recently became a pilot for a regional airline, capping a goal he first set at age ten. Benjamin walks through the training hurdles, a failed first check ride, and the financial and personal sacrifices that came with chasing an expensive dream. He describes the shock of the job offer, his first takeoff, and the imposter syndrome of walking through the terminal in uniform. A grounded reminder that persistence pays off.
