The Blue Angels and The Thunderbirds are honoring Healthcare Workers and other essential workers on the frontlines of COVID-19 around the country, with a “flyover salute”.  JOHN FOLEY, a former Lead Solo Pilot of the Blue Angels joined us on the First Day to talk about how important these flyover salutes really are for all of us!  Before you go crazy about how much this “salute” costs Americans, John explained that the pilots have to get their mandatory flight training hours in one way or another.  THIS idea of a salute to healthcare workers just made sense!

John has found his calling today as a leadership keynote speaker, and author of “FEARLESS SUCCESS“.   The book helps individuals and companies become fearless in times of great change and transformation.  Perfect for today’s world.

We talked about what it was like being a Blue Angel.  What toll it took on his body.  Lessons learned.  Trust.  Ego (Leave it at the door!).  Team Work.  Character.  Positivity.  FOCUS, which was critical as a Blue Angel.  And GRATITUTDE!

Speaking of gratitude. John Foley is also the Founder of the GLAD TO BE HERE FOUNDATION.  The Foundation is doing a matching grant for up to $10,000 to an organization or nonprofit that is making an impact in the world right now.  Let him know who they are HERE.  Watch his videos and learn more about “FEARLESS SUCCESS” on Facebook.
