What if I told you that the same safety principles keeping F-15 fighter pilots alive in combat could be the secret weapon your flight school needs to attract more students, reduce liability, and build a reputation that sets you apart from every other training facility in your area?

That’s exactly what we’re diving into today with Lieutenant Colonel Brandon Williams, a decorated Air Force fighter pilot with over 20 years of military experience, hundreds of combat hours over Iraq and Afghanistan, and now a major airline captain who’s made it his mission to bring elite aviation safety culture to civilian flight training.

In this episode of the Aviation Business Podcast, we sit down with Randy Taussig, a professional EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) implementer and aviation enthusiast, to discuss how the EOS framework can help flight schools and aviation businesses break through growth barriers and scale effectively.

Randy shares his journey from working in family food manufacturing businesses to becoming an EOS implementer 13 years ago, and how he combines his passion for aviation with helping businesses succeed.

What You'll Learn:

✈️ What EOS is and why it's perfect for small to mid-sized aviation businesses✈️ The 6 key components of EOS: Vision, People, Data, Issues, Process, and Traction✈️ The difference between Visionary and Integrator roles (and why you need both)✈️ How to build an accountability chart vs. a traditional org chart✈️ The concept of "Right People, Right Seats" and why it matters✈️ How to use KPIs and leading indicators to drive your flight school's growth✈️ The IDS method (Identify, Discuss, Solve) for tackling business issues✈️ Why 90-day goals (Rocks) are crucial for maintaining momentum✈️ How to document processes and train team members effectively

At Right Rudder Marketing (RRM), we recently had the opportunity to feature Sam Goodwin on our podcast. Sam is a world traveler, speaker, and pilot-in-training, and his story provides key insights into handling uncertainty, something many flight school owners and business leaders can relate to.

Sam’s path has been unique. Originally from St. Louis, he set out on a mission to visit every country in the world. He eventually reached that goal, but not without major challenges along the way. One of those challenges came in 2019 when he was taken hostage in Syria and held for nine weeks. The experience taught him about resilience, controlling what you can, and finding value in difficult situations.
