Everyday Heroes

Welcome Everyday Heroes, I’m Bert Botta, the creator of the Everyday Heroes podcast series and welcome. One day about 3 years ago I experienced something that would forever change how I look at relationships! Here's what happened …I was the editor of the Private Jet Pilots newsletter and I was doing interviews for pilot profiles in the newsletter. I’ve always been a “people person” but so much of the time my relationships were like “Hey, how you doing, gotta run!” That usually left me wanting more. But during the interviews, I got to really know my fellow pilots, I discovered how much I really enjoyed getting to know them on a more personal level by working with them that way. That feeling of connection made me realize that I found something that I’ve always been good at, connecting people with something that I really enjoyed doing, TURNING INTERVIEWS INTO PODCASTS that connect everyone, the guys and gals who I interview with the ones who listen to my podcasts and me! Perfect! Long story short, everyone wins! My podcasts are more than random stories; they are powerful messages of entertainment, hope, education, connection, and community for my listeners, especially for those of us in the aviation community.

(14) You Wouldn't Even Know How to Find The Places That This Pilot Flies Into!

November 16, 2020 • Bert Botta

Ney Grant is a world class everything! Flying adventurer, writer, author, blogger, photographer, tech entrepreneur, retired mergers and acquisitions guy, and generally a bighearted guy with a passion for service.

You’re going to love how he crammed a bunch of garbage cans and hand wash stations into the back of his Cessna 210, schlepped them over to Tuba City, Arizona and delivered them to the Navajo reservation there so the native peoples would be able to stay safe from the covid.

If you're up for adventure, you’ll have plenty of it in his interview. You’ll hear how he had no intention of learning how to fly but did so out of the necessity of having to commute from his home in northern California to his tech company in Silicon Valley.

Then, as is usually the case, flying became an obsession; so much so that he decided to discover any and all the places that normal people only dream about seeing but never get to!

If you like what you hear, order his book, Fifty Classic Destinations for Pilots: Epic Adventures, Romance and Outdoor Fun in the Western USA here https://westcoastflyingadventures.com/

You'll be able to listen to his blogs where you can hitch a virtual ride as he tells the stories of places that will make you want to drop what you’re doing, pack up and follow him!

Enjoy the flight…

Bert
