How to Succeed at Failing, Part 3: Grit vs. Quit (Update)

It's very modern, very excited. I've gotten to know this pilot very, very well. I was talking to him about the platform and our ideas of what we're doing to modernize. And he said to me, well, everybody did it. You know, I did it that way. Everybody needs to do it that way, too. And he just wouldn't sign in.

And that's the day I think I knew, if I can't get this young flight school owner that understands modernization, when he said, no, I did it that way, you can too. I think that was my tipping point. Or I just went, I'm done. I have no place else to go from here. And it broke me. You know, my grandfather lived through the Depression, and I think he gave me my earliest memories of money.

How to Succeed at Failing, Part 3: Grit vs. Quit (Update)

You pay for cars and cash, and, you know, you never waste. We were always very scrappy. We didn't grow up with money. Once I lost a $5 bill, and you'd think the world came to an end. But I lost over $100,000. And sometimes in the shower, I would physically just faint. get sick. And I felt like a complete failure, the shame of it. It took me a long time to figure out it was shame.

And it still hurts me. And it's very weird to have somebody ask me about it because I have the ability to clear a room. Nobody wants to hear about the failure when, in essence, that's all I needed at that time. I needed a story from somebody else that said... Yeah, I failed. Oh, and there's another guy over here and another lady over here that also failed. Oh, and, you know, my cousin also did.
