I met Brick at my brother’s retirement. He spoke, but I was captivated by his knowledge as well as his down to earth kindness. GO USAF! Tara, Vader’s sis

Hasard Lee and Vincent Aiello: the Dynamic Duo! Hasard does great interviews of interesting people

Fantastic work as always. Your podcast is an outstanding resource - can’t thank you enough.

I’ve been listening to Hasard for quite some time after discovering his podcast thru a plug on Fighter Pilot Podcast and I have to say it’s one of my favorites. I recently listened to his podcast with Terry Virts and I was left wanting more so I picked up Terry’s book almost immediately after the podcast was over. Seriously, you would think Justin has been doing interviews for 10+ years, he’s almost got that Howard Stern gift lol. He can reference and compare almost all subjects with aviation and it never sounds forced... even his interview with Nick English (co-founder of Bremont watches) about watches and their connection to aviation was clever and down right interesting. He picks some really great people to talk to and I think all his listeners appreciate that. Keep up the good work Hasard. Cheers.

I have recently discovered Hasard’s podcast work. I have listened to the episode with Charlie Plumb, the fighter pilot and former POW. Also, to the interview with Dr. Daniel Kraft and the founder of ForeFlight Tyson Weihs. His most recent with Safi Bahcall author of Loonshots was another gem. Each one has its own message on leadership, innovation and thought leadership. Good stuff! Keep up the good work!

Outstanding pod. Amazing lineup of guests that illuminate parts of our world that exist outside and inside our individual operating range. Hasard has a simple yet articulate approach that results in a dynamic conversation and interview with his guests. Professional’s Playbook is top notch. I am excited for each new episode.

Hazard continues to deliver episode after episode. The guest list is always incredible and captivating, showcasing some of the most driven, talented, and intelligent men and women in the world. I was originally tuned on to it because of a passion for aviation, but it’s so much more. Thank you for your service, can’t wait for the next one. -Nick B. STL MO

What a fantastic podcast! Articulate, focused, thoughtful questions that bring the listener along. I really enjoyed the conversation and feel like it’s such a timely topic. Highly recommend!!

Major (LtCol??) Lee has a good thing going here. This cast is not for the faint hearted. All the folks we meet here are (Plame excepted) the captains of their destiny and masters of their fate.

I look forward to this podcast every two weeks. The discussions are captivating and inspiring. Interesting to see how top performers get to where they are today and how they execute day in and day out.

Great podcast! Very inspiring

Great show! Very entertaining

Hi Justin, I love the show, this is a really interesting blend of military aviation and peak performance. I’ll be listening to everything you put out. I really enjoy the conversations and hearing about the field I will be going into. Just listened to the Charlie Plumb one, and that was absolutely outstanding. Thanks so much. Chris.

Stellar podcast and topics, with engaging guests, topics and terrific questions, conversation and flow guided by the host

Justin is an amazing host, he leads an intriguing life as fighter-pilot and he is understandably reserved about sharing the details of his personal life. I truly respect and admire how someone so intelligent and accomplished can have such humility. His questions are always thoughtful and well constructed. You don’t have to be an AvGeek or a military personnel to enjoy and appreciate this podcast. If you want to listen to geniuses, innovators and top CEO’s talk about what they do to stay on top, you should be listening to The Professionals Playbook. PS I would love to win that F35 patch 🙏 one day ig: jummso

I’m just impressed with all the inside information. I find it fascinating. It’s just remarkable what you guys and girls do for the country! I’m constantly getting my 2 yr old daughter to listen in with me😂. She seems to enjoy it actually. I fly r/c jets and she loves them! I wish I had another way to show my appreciation to all of you for what you do for us everyday, but a thank you is all I can do here. Keep up the good work and be safe🇺🇸💪. THANK YOU!!!!!!!! Ps. It’s saying something to hold the attention of a 2 yr old for more than 30 seconds. That patch would be crazy cool.

Listening this interesting podcasts I feel like being part of the conversation. Right questions, and so qualified people speaking about relevant things. Thank you Mr. Pilot ... also I enjoy you pics in IG.

If you have a process-oriented brain that thrives on efficiency, drive, grit, and innovation, this is the podcast for you. The pacing is like butter, and guests come across comfortable, open, and resonant. Each episode gets better with repetition; great conversation-starter amongst my flight school friends all the way up to the most seasoned CFIs. Fav episode: #7! There’s truly something for everyone.

Quite enjoyable. Definitely an inspiration for future fighter pilots like myself.

It was great I really enjoyed it. I’m from Arizona as well

Consistently good content and insight from the interviews!

Definitely one of my favorite podcasts that not only keep me entertained but informed. I highly recommend listening to this if you want to dig deep and go to the top of whatever field you might be in

The professionals playbook is my favorite aviation podcast because it is awesome to listen to a actual Air Force pilot tell stories about it with the people he interviews is really a great inspiration and really motivates me to work even harder towards getting accepted to the usafa and getting a pilot slot so thank you so much for helping me and if this can help me it can help you to so please give it a listen!

Justin’s guests are intriguing, their perspectives are enlightening, and his example of active listening style of interviewing make this podcast the complete package.

Love listening to this podcast while I’m working. There is always some very interesting topics in every episode.

When I started listening to this podcast it was because a friend of mine had recommended it to me. I was, and still am, a loaded, stressed out and confused AFROTC Cadet, shout out to (DET 002), and college student, managing my chaotic schedule and plowing through, indefatigably, toward my goal of becoming an officer in the greatest Airforce in the world and one day a fighter pilot. This noted stress and chaos has been mitigated, calmed, managed, and advised through this killer podcast put on by Hazard Lee. His ability to get successful, knowledgeable and wisdom filled interviewees to spill their secrets to success and advice, has been instrumental in my ability to succeed and maintain the right mindset, work ethic, and drive, even when the you know what hits the fan. Maj. Lee’s podcast is fantastic. Would 100% recommend, even if aspiring to be an officer or aviator is not your cup of tea, the wisdom shared is valuable regardless. Give it a look. If you have to start somewhere I recommend the first introduction episode followed by the episode with Thunderbird 1, John “Brick” Caldwell. P.S. Hazard, please interview Andrew “dojo” Olson, just got to meet him and he was the epitome of awesomeness, humility, and approachability all in one. Seriously though, give this podcast a chance.

Enjoyed listening to the programs. Nice variety and cool backstage access conversation.

We all tend to take for granted how all the things around us work. The military, aircraft, racing. But there’s a lot that goes on in the background to make all that happen. Cool to hear their perspectives

Awesome perspectives from people at the top of their fields. Im glad I stumbled on this podcast and it gives me some valuable insight into what's happening upstairs.

Honestly, I found this podcast incredibly fascinating. Just the way that Terry Virts described his experiences, and how he provides such great amount of information, it just makes the podcast very inspirational. Also big thanks to Justin for his podcasts that are always a great way to explore different careers and jobs within military and governmental operations involved with science and tech events. I have always wanted to be a fighter pilot, and listening to these podcasts really strengthen my passion, since as I’ve always found that the educational system really rips my passion away sometimes. So these podcasts are always a great source of support and inspiration.

Probably the most entertaining podcast for someone who has dreams of flying in the Air Force one day. 👍🏻

Justin’s podcast album is one that embodies Jobs that matter: swat, astronaut, fighter pilot, etc... The podcasts motivate listeners to strive to reach their goals This is as Justin and his interviewees speak about their own experiences working towards and in their occupations. Truly inspiring. Thank you for your service Justin!

First off thanks to Justin for his service for our country. I am in corporate America and have never served in the military. My father did and thus I was taught a great respect for our men and women who serve. I regularly peruse IG on military pages and found Justin and learned about this podcast. Not only are the episodes fascinating while providing insight into different jobs within military service, but there are great lessons that can be applied across any job. I find inspiration and encouragement for my own field of work having listened to a couple episodes. Thanks Justin!

Great podcast on leadership & winning in all aspects of life

As an aviator, it’s awesome! As a cadet, it’s awesome! As a kid that’s going to UPT in less than a couple years, it’s awesome!

Awesome podcasts so far. Has me hooked from start to finish. Very well done and informative. I’ve enjoyed every guest so far and can’t wait for future shows.

Great Interviews of Real Professionals who are Exceptional at their jobs and bring Intense Passion to what they do. It’s always a pleasure to listen to People who love what they do and are happy to share what they have experienced and learned.

As a current ROTC student with dreams to someday fly fighter jets in the United States Air Force these information filled podcasts shed light into what it takes to be a fighter pilot while still giving me the information of what I need to do in order to follow my dreams.

Episode 3 had me hooked. At the end of these podcasts, I am able to take subjects and life advice and make plans to implement it. It's a self improvement podcast "Trojan Horsed" into a Fighter Pilot's Podcast. I recommend it to people interested in aviation, as it has intensive career paths that require discipline.

I found Jason on one of the aviation pages on Instagram and quickly found out that he had this podcast. As others have mentioned it has become one of my favorites. I typically listen while I’m flying as I’m usually stuck in a tin can in the sky a few times a week. The interviewees always have an interesting background and I really like how you can get a glimpse into the mindset of what it takes to become one of the best. I highly recommend this podcast.

This podcast is a great insight into the various careers that someone interested in the military/LEO path might have. While being engaging and informative, it’s also inspiring to hear what some of these interviewees have accomplished in their colorful careers. Definitely a great listen for whatever it is you’re doing throughout the day.

Sorry I’m not precise enough to give you the exact second (I fly heavies) but around the 12 min mark, you claim heavy pilots don’t have to be as precise when flying. Well that’s a pretty ignorant philosophy. I’m glad Dr. Davidson was able to save you from looking more misinformed on your podcast. Sincerely, “Heavy” pilot, graduate of “The Elite” USAFWS

As a part 141 aviation student in a collegiate program with a desire to fly in the military, this podcast has truly given me an insider look at some of the aspects of military aviation. Well worth listening to! - AC

Lots of awesome stories and experiences that you won’t hear anywhere else

As a podcaster myself, this is some great content that’s worth your time. Great podcast exposing some true professionals and heroes!

Awesome insight on some amazing people. Looking forward to the next fighter pilot interview 👍🏼

As an aspiring military aviator, any and all information pertinent to the fighter pilot lifestyle is extremely motivational and awe-inspiring. The guests thus far have proven to be incredibly insightful to their respective military backgrounds, and Justin is a fantastic host who conveys his stories with passion and enthusiasm which make for an all around engaging experience. Thanks!

Listening to Nasty’s interview I get a sense of physical, mental and decision making required to support on troops on the ground. What professional!

I’m currently a 17 year old about to graduate from high school and a podcast like this helps encourage my mindset and drives me to be more motivated at what I want to achieve in the Air Force. I plan to enlist as a 2nd lieutenant after complete AFROTC and going on to flight school, then primary, and with the end goal of flying in the EURO NATO JOINT JET PILOT (ENJJPT) training program at Sheppard Air Force base in Texas. My dream jet to fly would def have to be an F-15C due to the sheer power those jets contain with a max speed capability of going over Mach 2 as well as its air to air combat capabilities.

Extremely high quality with great information and has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts
