On this week's podcast we have special guest Elizabeth McCormick, former US Army Blackhawk pilot and current motivational speaker and author. We discuss our passions for aviation and leadership, and the lessons we learned from the cockpit. I share a glass of Copper Chopper Amber Ale from Spindletap Brewery in Houston, TX
