#35 Brian Wheeler - Fail to Succeed
Manage episode 408353242 series 3462995
Our next guest on Inspire-Ability is Aerobility COO, NATS Deputy General Manager, and disability advocate Brian Wheeler. In the first of four episodes in conversation with Brian, Harriett discusses the impact of his naval upbringing, and how his early dream to fly led to a single-minded pursuit of a British Airways cadetship during his latter schooling. Although this determination would lead to academic struggles, Brian’s passion for flight was little diminished, and an eventful month in the USA allowed him to gain his PPL. Despite this, among other achievements, Brian would have to learn to respond to failure after it was decided that he did not have the aptitude to be an airline pilot. Although this might have been “game over”, what followed was a successful career as a military and civilian air traffic controller, until May 2018, when everything changed.
