If you consider falling in love with an Orangutan over lunch “ordinary” then you might find these stories “ordinary” but I doubt it!

This is an "insiders" look at how airline employees used to travel in the good ole days, before Covid, fax machines and mandatory reservations!

Cindy and her husband, Bart were fellow airline employees back in the day when we could jump on and off flights to get anywhere in the world, for free!

They have traveled around the world and have seen more in their travels than ten other couples combined!

You’ll hear how they traveled, with no reservations, just winging it and how that sometimes got them in pretty serious trouble!

Like when they had a flat tire in the middle of the African savannah in their sophisticated safari vehicle, a tiny Datsun 210, in the middle of a pride of lions.

And how Cindy kept watch, out the window, as Bart got out of the car to change the tire!

Then it was love at first sight in Singapore for Cindy, when she fell in love with an Orangutan over lunch!

These are stories from what I call “The Glory Days of Aviation” when travel was a true 1st Class adventure, complete with 5 course meals crossing the pond to Europe and beyond.

If you dare to be jealous at how we traveled, “free as birds” in the good ole days, then you’ll love Cindy’s book, ‘Life on Standby’.

Heroes, listen in as my nephew and me talk about issues that span our 60 year age difference!

Police de-funding, pay in-equality, socialism, statue tear downs, fake news, conspiracy theories, mark of the beast, you name it, we cover it in this interview with my 24 year old nephew!

He's a recent honors grad of Arizona State University, now working in Georgia.

We talk about everything that's going on these days, before and during Covid from perspectives that span the pre-Baby Boomer era to the Millennials!

He talks about his take on the pros and cons on the use of technology among young people, how intentions and ideas can be misconstrued on social media, how the use of college online classes prepared him for the lockdowns, what he thinks about the protests, how many young kids think it's cool to be poor and how that leads to looking free government handouts!

There's much more so listen in and let us know what you think...

This doesn't make any sense! Why would "Sin Taste Good" to this gifted corporate flight attendant!

Relax, this isn't going to be some steamy look at the secret life of flight attendants! It's merely the title of her new book!

But you're going to be moved by the wave of miracles that led to her landing a plum corporate jet flight attendant job with absolutely no experience!

You other corporate flight attendants will know how tough that is and how seldom it happens without divine help!

And you probably can't wait to hear why she named her book "Sin Tastes Good" so listen up to her tell the story.

I met Reina through my friendship with Christina Brown, a corporate flight attendant who started the Aviation Wellness online community.

We start out with her talking about being raised in the country of Brunei, where her father flew the Sultan of Brunei’s corporate jet and where she hung out with the princes and princesses in that country.

She did that job for 5 years and it took her around the world, laying over for 6 weeks at a time in places like southern France, writing her book and singing in a church that she stumbled across during one of her fabulous layovers.

One of the powerful parts of her interview is when she talks about how to have peace in the midst of the furlough chaos that has taken place in the aviation industry and how her peace principles apply in any other circumstance for that matter.

That part of her interview reminded me very much of one of the Ebooks I’m creating with a co-author on Amazon titled "How to Maintain Calm Amidst Increasing Chaos." It’s the start of a series that spins off into Calm Amidst Aviation Chaos, Calm Amidst Entrepreneurial Chaos, etc. You can check it out here: http://amzn.to/3hFF7Yr

I get inspired by all the people I interview but my time with Reina was very special in the way she describes her life and the application of the principles in her book; it hit me hard, maybe because of what we’re all going through right now.

You'll hear about her relationship with Rabbi Daniel Lapin and his book "Thou Shalt Prosper"; it’s definitely on my to-read list as well as Reina’s, "Sin Tastes Good" (Come on, how could you pass up a book with a title like that!?)

So kick back, take a deep breath and set aside about 30 minutes, to hear about the miracles that show up for Reina and how you can apply them to your own life.
