In this episode of The Layover, we dive into a tough truth of entrepreneurship and leadership: not everyone is rooting for you. People are often quick to critique when you stumble, but they go silent when you succeed. Why is that?

We break down the psychology behind why some people resist celebrating others’ wins—jealousy, comparison, scarcity mindset—and explore how this affects entrepreneurs emotionally and professionally. More importantly, we talk about how to flip the script: protecting your mindset, finding the people who genuinely support you, and learning to celebrate yourself unapologetically.

At the end of the day, the absence of applause doesn’t make your success any less real. Your journey is for you, not for the critics.

In this episode of The Layover, we’re lighting the match and setting fire to all the business “rules” we were told to follow. From corporate playbooks to startup scaling strategies, we talk about the advice that didn’t work for us, the moments we threw the rulebook out the window, and how doing things our way led to more alignment, more freedom, and—surprise—better results.

Expect:
🔥 The advice we regret following
🚫 The exact moments we said “f*ck it” to conventional wisdom
🧠 How to trust your gut, even when the world says don’t
✍️ A permission slip to write your own damn playbook

This one’s for the rebels, the misfits, and the founders who’ve never fit in the box. Burn it down. Build something better.

In this heartfelt and candid last episode of the season, we dive into the reality of fatherhood on the road. Patrick opens up about the emotional highs and lows of being a dad who travels frequently—balancing work commitments, long-distance parenting, and the guilt that often comes with not being physically present. From navigating FaceTime check-ins to managing the emotional toll of missed milestones, this episode sheds light on the often-unspoken challenges of modern fatherhood in a career-driven world. It’s a conversation about vulnerability, presence, and redefining what it means to show up for your kids—even from thousands of miles away.

In this solo episode, Tracy dives into the raw, unfiltered side of entrepreneurship—grit. Inspired by Emma Grede’s bold take on what it really takes to succeed, Tracy opens up about her own journey building TRAX Analytics from the ground up.

From being told the idea was stupid, to choosing the wrong partners, to getting rejected by investors hundreds of times, this episode pulls back the curtain on the messy middle that most founders don’t talk about. Tracy shares how grit—not connections, not credentials, not luck—was the one thing that carried her through product failures, lonely moments, and leadership growing pains.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you have what it takes, or felt like quitting when things got hard, this episode is your reminder: grit will take you further than talent ever will.

In this episode, Tracy and Patrick dig into the truth about what it really takes to build something lasting—and why the long game is worth it. From personal stories to practical strategies, you’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of how to stay grounded, focused, and fulfilled while you build.

In this episode of The Layover, Tracy and Pat rewind the clock to talk about one of the most exciting (and chaotic) stages of any startup journey—getting your first 100 customers. They break down the mindset, grit, and scrappy strategy it takes to go from zero to traction, sharing real stories from their early TRAX days and lessons learned the hard way.

You’ll hear:

• Why your first customers are more about relationships than scale
• How to turn early believers into evangelists (and get referrals before you're “ready”)
• What to focus on before you obsess over sales funnels and automation
• The mistakes they made chasing the wrong type of customer—and how to avoid them
• The power of storytelling, urgency, and doing things that don’t scale

Whether you're pre-revenue or already growing, this one’s packed with insights, inspiration, and a reminder that every empire starts with one brave ask.

In this episode of The Layover, we unpack the growing impact of tariffs on the aviation industry and beyond.

We also share how leaders can stay agile, manage risk, and make smarter decisions in the face of global uncertainty. If you’re in business, this one’s worth the download.
