When the Sky Falls: Losing an Identity, Finding Yourself
Who are you when the professional identity that defined you is gone?
When an airline pilot is unexpectedly grounded, he discovers that losing a career can mean losing a sense of self. What follows is a journey of rebuilding identity—not around a job title, but around curiosity, purpose, and the willingness to evolve.
As the conversation explores the future of aviation, AI, hydrogen energy, and autonomous flight, a deeper theme emerges: the world is changing faster than ever, and all of us will be asked to let go of old identities and embrace new ones. This is ultimately a conversation about transformation, resilience, and finding freedom in becoming someone new.
