Growing For It!

Episode 1 of Growing For It - Coffee Talk #1 with Mik & Trav

*Contains a sponsored segment*

In this coffee talk and intro episode to the Growing For It Podcast, Mikkel and Travis take us through the steps of their entrepreneurial adventures. Mik and Trav are the co-founders of a company called Air Flight, which is building flying cars, flying cranes, and other flying vehicles. Mikkel's entrepreneurial journey began with a pivotal moment on a flight to a wedding in London, where he experienced a feeling of pure joy and adventure from the takeoff and wanted to recreate that in a flying vehicle. Driven by a strong belief and self-confidence that he could build anything, Mikkel started designing and prototyping a flying car.

Mikkel and Trav met through a mastermind group in 2017 and bonded over their adventurous spirits and sports backgrounds, leading them to partner up and work on the flying car project. In late 2018, Mikkel's previous company ran into financial troubles due to a problematic construction project, leading to the company going bankrupt. This was a major setback, but with the encouragement of his partner Klaudia, Mikkel regained his motivation and decided to fully commit to building AirFlight, the company focused on developing flying vehicles.
