Most "fast-track" flight schools would look at today’s guest and say he failed. Why? Because it took him three years just to get his Commercial License while working a 9-5 job. But while the zero-to-hero students were broke and circling a local airport for 1,500 hours, Josiah Smucker was building time in the jungles of Guatemala, flying for free, and tripling his hourly income as an independent flight instructor.

In this interview, Josiah walks us through the reality of the Part 61 grind, the hidden costs of procrastination, and how he bypassed the traditional flight school route to build a wildly successful career on his own terms. If you are a career changer, a struggling student pilot, or a CFI tired of low wages, this is the blueprint you need to hear.

In this video, we cover:
The Jungle Shortcut: How a low-time pilot landed a gig flying humanitarian missions in Guatemala (and skipped the boring time-building grind).
The "Independent" Pay Raise: The specific decision Josiah made during his CFI phase that allowed him to instantly triple his hourly income.
The "Free Plane" Hack: How getting a simple tailwheel endorsement led to unlimited access to an airplane for practically $0.
Safety & Survival: The one hard rule Josiah uses to stay alive when friends and peers have made fatal mistakes.
Advice for Career Changers: Why staying in your "safe" desk job is actually the riskiest move you can make.

👋 FROM BOARDROOM TO COCKPIT 👋
After building and selling multiple companies, I earned 7 FAA pilot certifications in 91 days for under $50,000 and went from 100-hour private pilot to First Officer on an Embraer 175 within just 23 months—starting at age 53. I've since taught thousands of aspiring pilots through my courses and YouTube channel (60,000+ subscribers) how to accelerate their training and build prosperous aviation careers.

If you're successful but unfulfilled, wondering if it's too late to chase your aviation dreams—it's not. I'll show you exactly how to do it without breaking the bank or dragging out your training.
