| 0:00.0 | Let your unconscious mind take over by finding a way to get your mind off of the decision at hand. |
| 0:11.0 | Most pilots don't understand what career opportunities are available in the world of aviation. |
| 0:17.0 | They're making career decisions based on advice from friends or posts on internet forums, meaning they are taking huge risk with their livelihood without having all the details. |
| 0:28.1 | This podcast was created to help you understand the aviation industry so you can find your dream job. |
| 0:35.0 | Let's get ready for pushback. |
| 0:37.2 | Here's your host and my dad, Nick Fialca. |
| 0:41.2 | Hey, Pilot, it's Nick Fialca and it's ready for pushback. I am super glad you're here. It's been a |

| 1:52.8 | And they did an episode about naps. And I took some notes and I want to share it with you because I think |
| 1:58.5 | that it's very relevant. When you are facing a big |
| 2:04.0 | life decision or you have a dilemma and you need to get a clear answer, you can either like |
