You are listening to the 10 Minute Entrepreneur podcast with host Sean Castrina.

Okay, I know you know what you're thinking. Sean, you're going to say I'm excited about this podcast.

I am because I think you're going to learn something today. I try to bring in a very broad audience

and the goals to equip to encourage and educate today. We're going to a little bit of educating.

I have Kay Scott Griffith with me here today. He was the chief safety officer to American Airlines.

And he's just written the book, the leaders guide to managing risk. If you've been an entrepreneur managing risk

is something you got to know how to do. And the tagline, a proven method to build resilience and reliability.

I like both of those as well. All right. Kay Scott Griffith. Do I call you Kay? Do I call you Scott? Which way do I go here?

Yes, Scott, Sean. There you go. Okay, Scott. So working for American Airlines.

Obviously we don't want things to crash because nothing happens good.

I always joke when I want to plane, if I may say this, like when they're going through the whole safety thing.

I'm like, is any of that going to matter if this thing goes down? Like I love where they like grab your seat and it's a flotation device.

I'm like, that'll be the least of my worries.

Right. Well, it's a one in six million chance. And you're right. That's the least you should worry more about the drive to the airport than what happens when you get on the airplane.

Right. I have anything of my planes going down. I want what is that oxygen that knocks you out or whatever it is.

That's the last thing I don't want to live through anything. I want something that takes me out before I hit the bottom.

All right. So obviously being a safety officer. I mean, I love this book. This idea, the leader's guide to managing risk work.

Let's talk about, you know, how business owners and why they need to manage it.

And a little bit about your book and how you approach it.

Sure. So what inspired me to write the book, Sean, was I witnessed a plane crash and I was a pilot.

In 1985, I was doing an inspection on a plane at DFW Airport, getting ready to fly to New York and I looked up in the sky and I saw a Delta plane coming in and crashed.

It crashed because it was it got it developed in something called a micro burst wind shear.
