No matter if it is purposeful, or through circumstance, change can be hard, but it can make you into the next great version of yourself.

Season 2 Episode 17 What happens when a student pilot stops accepting “that’s just the way it is” and starts looking for better solutions? In this episode, you’ll learn how entrepreneur and private pilot DeRonte Craig used his marketing expertise to creatively overcome the financial barriers of flight training, earning his private pilot certificate in just three months. He shares why flying 5–6 days a week accelerated his learning, how “showing up” created an unexpected opportunity, and what aviation can learn from entrepreneurship about solving problems differently. DeRonte also takes us inside Check Ride Coach, the AI-powered conversational tool he created to help pilots prepare for the oral portion of their checkride. You’ll learn why verbalizing answers can strengthen knowledge consolidation, how scenario-based questions can move pilots beyond rote memorization, and why practicing concise answers may be just as important as knowing the material. At its core, this is a conversation about preparing not just to know the answer, but to retrieve and communicate it when the pressure is on. About DeRonte Craig: DeRonte is a private pilot, entrepreneur, educator, mentor, and international speaker. He earned his degree from Bowie State University and studied Innovation and Entrepreneurship at UC Irvine.

Season 2 Bonus Episode Monday Briefing 13 In this week's Monday Brief, discover one of the most memorable lessons ever shared on The Calm Cockpit Podcast: there are only two speeds in aviation—slow and screw up. This deceptively simple philosophy challenges the instinct to rush and demonstrates why deliberate, methodical action leads to greater safety, fewer errors, and often no loss of time at all. You'll learn why the perception that hurrying saves time is often an illusion, and how adopting a calmer operational tempo can improve both performance and decision-making. The featured clip comes from Brian Schiff, a seasoned captain for a major U.S. airline with more than 21,000 hours of flight time and experience in over 100 aircraft types. A 40-year Gold Seal Flight Instructor, FAA Safety Team Representative, and former FAA-designated examiner, Brian is widely respected throughout the aviation community for his engaging, practical teaching style and his unwavering commitment to advancing aviation safety for pilots at every level. In this excerpt, Brian shares the fascinating origin story behind his now-famous mantra, explaining how a real-world airline experience forever changed his perspective on operational tempo, time management, and cockpit decision-making. You'll also explore how this philosophy extends well beyond the flight deck. Learn why the habits you build in everyday life often become the habits you rely on under pressure in the cockpit, how slowing down can reduce stress and improve situational awareness, and simple ways to practice intentionality before your next flight. Whether you're a student pilot or a seasoned aviator, this episode offers one practical mindset shift you can begin using immediately.

Season 2 Episode 15 Summer flying brings unique challenges that go far beyond comfort. In this episode, we explore how heat and dehydration can quietly erode pilot performance, slow reaction time, impair memory, reduc situational awareness, and increase fatigue. Small aircraft cockpits can become significantly hotter than the outside air, placing additional stress on the body and triggering a physiological "fight or flight" response that pulls valuable mental resources away from flying the airplane. We discuss why high temperatures should be treated as a legitimate operational risk—just like fatigue or weather—and why pilots and instructors alike need to recognize the signs before performance begins to suffer. You'll also learn practical, science-backed strategies to stay ahead of the heat, including why hydration starts the day before your flight, how electrolytes help your body absorb water more effectively than water alone, and why sipping consistently beats chugging at the last minute. We share simple ways to keep cooler in the cockpit through clothing choices, cooling techniques, and smarter scheduling, along with the importance of establishing personal temperature minimums to guide go/no-go decisions. Whether you're a student pilot, flight instructor, or experienced aviator, these tips will help you protect your health, sharpen your performance, and fly more safely during the hottest months of the year.

Season 2 Bonus Episode Monday Briefing 12 This briefing focuses on daily supplements and digital tools designed to enhance a pilot's mental clarity, physical recovery, and stress management. We all want to study, test, fly, and exercise better, but in today's world we are inundated with influencers telling us this special substance is going to solve all our problems. Here are some Calm Cockpit suggestions on where to start, and how to cut through the noise. Top Five Recommended Supplements (w/Links) Creatine: Ranked as the top recommendation, it is highlighted for its mood-boosting potential and its ability to help build lean muscle and new neural pathways. While it can raise creatinine levels in blood tests, the host notes it does not necessarily indicate negative kidney function. Ashwagandha: This root-based supplement is used to lower cortisol and stress levels, effectively "rounding the corners" of high-stress situations. Users should be aware of potential initial stomach sensitivity. Nootropics (The Genius Brand "Consciousness") : Utilized specifically during high-intensity periods like check ride preparation or training, this formula contains ingredients like lion's mane and caffeine to boost focus and memory retention. Protein: Recommended for physical recovery and mental clarity, especially when integrated with a regular exercise routine. Green Drinks ( Beyond Greens ): A "superfood blend" used to supplement vegetable and nutrient intake for those who may not consume enough greens in their regular diet. Supplementary Tools for Performance Binaural Beats: Using the Brain Wave app, these sounds are played through headphones to assist with focus, memory, and sleep by affecting brainwave patterns. Supplement Verification: The host uses the Supco app to scan supplement barcodes, which helps verify brand quality, check for natural ingredients, and identify potential negative interactions between different supplements.

Season 2 Episode 14 Grief is an inevitable part of life, but in aviation, it often remains unspoken. Whether it's the sudden loss of a colleague or the death of a loved one, grief can affect focus, decision-making, performance, and well-being in profound ways. In this episode, you'll learn how grief impacts the brain, why healthy compartmentalization is different from emotional suppression, and practical strategies pilots can use to stay grounded during difficult times. You'll also discover tools for managing grief bursts, supporting others through loss, and recognizing when it's time to step back from flying and prioritize healing. Joining us is Nikki Smith, a death doula, grief coach, and host of the podcast Good Grief. Nikki specializes in helping individuals and families navigate end-of-life, loss, and bereavement with compassion and clarity. Together, we explore the unique challenges aviators face when coping with loss, the barriers that often prevent pilots from seeking support, and why acknowledging our mortality can ultimately help us live—and fly—with greater purpose and resilience.

Season 2 Episode 13 Breathing is one of the few systems in the body that operates automatically while also remaining under conscious control, making it a powerful tool for pilot performance and resilience. This episode explores how breathing influences stress, focus, alertness, recovery, and sleep, and why it serves as a bridge between the demands of the external environment and a pilot’s internal state. Listeners will learn how posture and breathing mechanics affect oxygen exchange, why nasal breathing offers important advantages, and how shallow chest breathing can contribute to anxiety and reduced concentration. The episode introduces three practical techniques pilots can use throughout the day: the Physiological Sigh for recovering from startle responses and high-workload moments, Coherent Breathing to improve heart rate variability and nervous system balance, and Triangle Breathing for downshifting after long duty days and preparing for restorative sleep. The conversation also explains the role of heart rate variability (HRV) in resilience and how regular breathing practice can help pilots maintain a healthy window of tolerance, enhance recovery, and improve overall performance. Whether used before a flight, after exercise, or at the end of a demanding day, these simple, evidence-informed practices provide accessible tools for flying smarter and stressing less.

Season 2: Bonus Episode Monday Briefing 10 In this Monday Briefing, you'll discover why self-care is not a luxury or a reward for surviving a stressful week, but the foundation of a healthy, resilient, and meaningful life. You'll learn a practical definition of self-care that goes beyond the stereotypes of the wellness industry and focuses instead on the daily routines that provide maintenance of your body, mind, and emotions. This episode offers a simple framework for building sustainable habits that support better decision-making, stronger relationships, and safer flying. You'll come away with a clear understanding of why small, consistent actions—like sleep, movement, nourishment, nervous system regulation, and meaningful connection—matter more than grand gestures, along with practical ideas for creating a self-care routine that fits into real life.

Season 2 Episode 12 In this episode we sit down with Chris Anderson, a Designated Pilot Examiner, corporate pilot, and 12-time NAFI Master CFI with more than 23,000 flight hours and over 3,500 practical tests to his credit. Drawing on decades of experience from the examiner’s seat, Chris offers an inside look at one of aviation’s greatest challenges: managing the stress and pressure of the check ride. Together, we explore why check ride anxiety is so universal, why it seems to be increasing among today’s pilots, and how fear, self-doubt, and the pressure to perform can interfere with skills that have already been mastered. Chris dispels common myths about DPEs, explaining that the goal of a practical test is not perfection, but verifying that a pilot can operate safely and exercise sound judgment. The conversation also dives into the psychology of "choking" under pressure and the importance of resiliency when things do not go exactly as planned. You’ll learn why a brief pause can restore clear thinking, how the nervous system affects performance in the cockpit, and why many pilots discover their best flying only after the fear of failure has passed. Finally, we share practical tools to help regulate stress before and during a check ride, including breathing techniques, grounding exercises, effective preparation strategies, and the value of guided relaxation. Whether you are preparing for your first practical test or simply want to perform more confidently under pressure, this episode offers reassuring perspectives and actionable skills to help your true abilities shine through.

Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? How do our brains really work--in the office, in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others?

Season 2 Episode 11 In this episode we explore the phenomenon known as “the yips” — the sudden breakdown of a deeply mastered skill under pressure. Whether it shows up in the cockpit, on a stage, on the golf course, the yips are not simply a matter of nerves or lack of talent. We unpack how anxiety, perfectionism, and over-control can interfere with procedural memory, causing the thinking brain to disrupt movements and decisions that normally happen automatically. The conversation examines why this struggle disproportionately affects experienced performers and how fear of repeating a mistake can spiral into a self-reinforcing cycle of tension, hyper-focus, and diminished performance. Drawing from examples in aviation, professional sports, and music, this episode looks at practical strategies for recovery and resilience. We discuss the role of breath regulation, nutrition, muscle relaxation, meditation, and attentional control in restoring flow and reducing conscious interference. Most importantly, we examine the mindset shifts that help high performers break free from identity-based thinking — replacing “I failed” with “I am learning.” Calm is not the absence of anxiety; it is the ability to function skillfully in the presence of it Stuff mentioned on this episode: The Inner Game of Tennis: The Classic Guide to the Mental Side of Peak Performance A Soprano on Her Head: Right-Side-Up Reflections on Life and Other Performances Crosscheck Mental Performance Training with Tammy Barlette: Elevate your flying, master your mind.

Season 2: Bonus Episode Monday Briefing 8 In this Monday Briefing, you’ll learn how your breath can become one of the most effective tools for improving focus, reducing stress, and staying calm under pressure in the cockpit.
