Ep 8: Luke Layman: Former A-10 Pilot, Previous Delta Airline Pilot and now Entrepreneur & Investor

The Leaders of Aviation

Luke Layman has an incredible resume that includes piloting A-10’s, and then a commercial airline, before becoming an entrepreneur and investor. For as long as Luke can remember, he knew two things: He wanted to fly jets, and he had an entrepreneurial spirit. Taking his first solo flight at 16, Luke utilized ROTC to begin his pilot career. From the T-6 to T-38, and finally the A-10, Luke spent 10 years as an active duty Air Force pilot before transitioning to the Reserves and joining Delta Air Lines. Just 3 or 4 years in, Luke found he was losing too much time with his family. He knew it was time to stoke his entrepreneurial side. He looked into everything from buying into a franchise to starting a coaching business. Through it all, he learned some keys to success that he’s now sharing with others. What You’ll learn: How Luke developed the confidence needed to step into his coaching role. Where the scarcity mindset comes from and how to not get stuck in it. How to not overthink business. What a ‘Pinch Hitter Course’ is. Favorite Quote: “It’s a fine line between arrogance and self-confidence.” — Luke Layman
