Turning 100 with Max Gurney and Captain Tim McCully

Erik and I recently had an extraordinary opportunity to talk with someone who has been in aviation his entire life, flown more than most, and is an award winning journalist who has covered aviation for over 30 years.  Barry Schiff is the perfect compliment to last week's episode because he is able to speak from the perspective of multiple generations. He has seen how aviation has changed and how culture around aviation has also grown and changed for both the good and the bad.  I hope you enjoy this special episode with Barry Schiff. ***** Season 4 of The Lindberghs Podcast was made possible by The Lindbergh Foundation. http://lindbergh.aero/    The Lindberghs Podcast is a production of Erik Lindbergh and his wife Lyn Lindbergh.   Erik is the Chairman of The Lindbergh Foundation, Executive Chair of VerdeGo AERO, and an expert back country skier.

Thorny Topics with Reeve Lindbergh and Dr. Frances Levine

About this Episode   See the full show notes at: https://www.TheLindberghs.com/74    Hi friends, it's Lyn.       This summer of 2021 Erik's father, Jon Lindbergh passed away. Jon was the oldest surviving child of Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh. Anne was pregnant with Jon when they lost their first born, Charles Junior.       In this episode Erik and I sat down together in our studio and talked about Jon, what it was like for Erik to be his son, and how it informed who Erik is today. I'm proud of my hubby Erik for taking on this episode.       This is a special recording. Erik and I twice tried to record this episode over the past couple of months but the timing wasn't right, there was still much process and grieve. We once even sat in front of the microphones, took a deep breath, and then abandoned the recording. Erik understandably wasn't ready. This week, the timing was right and Erik was ready to share. At the end of the recording we added a couple of clips of Jon Lindbergh sharing his favorite childhood memories. It is difficult for us to hear Jon's voice with his loss still so new and raw, but we wanted to share these voice clips to help keep his memory alive.       I hope this episode brings you hope and healing among the parent-child relationships in your life.       Sincerely,   Lyn          Our Favorite Quotes from this Episode    It was still bubbling and burbling and it comes and goes in waves. You feel great and then it hits you again.   ~Erik       How to we navigate this stuff? It's painful no matter how you look at it.   ~Erik       I'm a glass half full kind of guy.   ~Erik       Keep talking to them [your children] because they may act like they are not listening, but they are.   ~Erik       I have compassion for him [Jon Lindbergh] because he grew up in very different circumstances. He was always loving, but awkward.   ~Erik       My dad, Larry Sanstrum, family was his life. Family was what he loved and thrived in. Family was his priority. Whenever I came home, Dad would stop everything he was doing and talk with me.   ~Lyn       It was sort of a right of passage with my Dad when you could go on the high-hunt in the North Cascades. It was a bonding and empowering experience we had over the years. This is what we did.   ~Erik       I feel somewhat lucky in that I forgave him for his inadequacies, and I feel empathy for him, and I feel like he did the best he could which was inadequate. I'm probably inadequate as a father to my son, but I try and I try to do better, and give more, and give better. In that way we are all part of a circle. To forgive him is to forgive myself because it gives you permission to be who you are.   ~Erik       When you have compassion for yourself, you can have compassion for others around you.   ~Erik       Sometimes we say good parents have good kids, but we all know kids raised in amazing circumstances who end up screwed up, and we know the opposite.   ~Lyn       We need to be

About this Episode View the full show notes here: https://www.thelindberghs.com/74     Hi friends, it's Lyn.       When I first started dating Erik almost eight years ago I did what any smart women does, I Googled him. Among his search results were a TEDx talk, a Wikipedia page calling him an American Aviator, and images of him standing on the wing of a small airplane raising his arms in victory. My favorite image was of him laying on his stomach on the ground next to that same plane giving the ground a kiss.       Over the coming months I learned that these were images of his 75th Anniversary flight where he flew a single engine plane from New York to Paris solo to recreate his Grandfather's Flight. This flight was one piece of a larger story that helped jump-start the private space flight industry that we are seeing often in the news today.       In today's episode, I had the opportunity to interview Erik along side his publicist Diane Murphy. I met Diane at my first XPRIZE Visioneering event. At the time I was finishing my 20th year as a corporate employee in a soul-sucking job. The people at Visioneering were so much more alive, vibrant, and excited to network and connect. These were my people! It was such a contrast to my current corporate management role where I constantly felt like I had to keep my personality partially under-wraps because I was too much, too loud, too optimistic, too happy. Diane was one of the amazing people I met and it was at this event that I realized I wasn't a complete weirdo. There was a world filled with humans that are full of life who also believed that problems are solvable and optimism is critical. It felt great!       I went into this interview with Diane and Erik thinking it would be a rehash of history I had already heard a billion times. I left the interview reminded of how important human connections are and how making connections with others is what typically changes the trajectory of our lives. I left feeling a greater sense of accountability to my own ability to help others make connections in their own lives.       This interview has pushed me to think more about the larger topic of networking and how the advantage goes to the person who has the connections. Proximity is everything. It reminded me to take the connections I have seriously and to help others also make connections with others. I've been thinking about this a lot.       I hope you enjoy this interview and it also inspires you to look at the resources and connections you have and remember they are powerful tools to help others make the word a better place.       Sincerely,   Lyn          Our Favorite Quotes from this Episode    What do I do? I chase stories. When you look at a story, you have to look at different tiers. When you add the personal element into a story, this is what makes the story.   ~Diane       The numbers were staggering. We did 2,000 print stories, 1,700 radio and TV stories.

James Hanson - More history.  About this Episode  Hi It's Erik. During the first year of the Covid 19 pandemic, The Lindbergh Foundation shut down our external programs and met regularly over the phone. My question at that time was what asset do we have that has the most value to bring to the world?       The answer kept coming back to us that our stories were the most important.       The stories that started with Anne and Charles Lindbergh about their work in the world, and how the ripples that emanated from their exploration, innovation and writing inspired countless people to do leading edge entrepreneurial work that continues to ripple outward. The Jaques Custeau’s, the Neil Armstrongs, the Bertrand Piccards and the Sylvia Earles of the world who were in turn influencing and inspiring others like Gordon Hempton to do positive work on the planet.       I started referring to the "Innovation Ecosystem” that my grandparents obviously cultivated in their lives that allowed them to have such a powerful influence on the 20th century. When our book committee interviewed author and historian James R. Hansen to author a book about this innovation ecosystem we were anticipating that the needed to include my Grandmother as an equal partner, and it should include the people my grandparents influenced and those who the Lindbergh Foundation supported over its 45 year tenure and how those people were continuing to change the world.       Hansen, the author of First Man, a book about Neil Armstrong, was our unanimous choice as the right person to write such a book not only because Neil Armstrong was a friend and had many similar characteristics as my Grandfather, but because Hansen himself reminded us of Charles Lindbergh. He was fact oriented and deeply principaled. He was also fun and interesting to talk to, perhaps as a result of his experience teaching at Auburn University.       His process of research and writing the prospectus for this book led to a conclusion that the best topic would be about my Grandparents relationship together. Life often gives us a place to consider our trajectory and pivot. James' conclusion was that the relationship between Charles and Anne gave us the perfect insight into these two people as we move toward the 100th anniversary of the New York to Paris flight.       This episode is a fascinating discussion about two people who are still changing the world, but are as magnificent and they are flawed. I couldn’t imagine a better time to focus on this relationship than this age of the polarization, cancel culture, and the ever changing questions and needs of people in relationships today.       I have been deeply moved by my conversations with James R. Hansen and hope you enjoy this interview with him.       Sincerely,   Erik Lindbergh          Our Favorite Quotes from this Episode    I had thought that as a historian of flight with a long career, I thought I knew everything I might need to know about Charles a

James R. Hansen - More History

Robert Ragozzino and the Spirit of Saint Louis 2!  About this Episode  Hi friends, its Erik here. This interview with Robert Ragozzino really struck a cord with me. I had retraced my Grandfather’s flights in 2002 on the 75th anniversary so I know a fair amount about flying across the Atlantic in a small single engine airplane. Maybe I know too much.       During my preparation and flight training people asked me if I was flying in a replica of the Spirit of St. Louis. I said no, that would be crazy! And besides that, some guy did it 75 years ago. But now we are approaching the 100th anniversary and Robert Ragozzino has built a flyable near exact replica of the Spirit of St.Louis. He is in flight testing and planning to fly it across the Atlantic soon!       I could say Robert is crazy. I’m qualified to say that because I too was crazy enough to do such a flight. However, Robert is imminently qualified. He flew an open cockpit biplane around the world. Roberts personality, candor, and humor shine in this podcast.       There are those that don’t want Robert to do the transatlantic flight in the Spirit of St. Louis 2 (SOS2) and there are some who are concerned about the risk. My Grandfather faced the same pressure and criticism. The XPRIZE faced a very similar conundrum where the CEO’s and marketing people in a company saw huge potential, but the lawyers could only see their company logo on an experimental rocketship that could explode and damage their reputation. I hate this kind of mentality. We need to be able to take risks in this world or we become complacent and stagnant. I really appreciated getting to know Robert and am behind him one hundred percent.       We hope you enjoy this episode with Robert Ragozzino as much as we did.       Sincerely,   Erik Lindbergh      Our Favorite Quotes from this Episode    We are handcrafting a near exact replica of the Spirit of Saint Louis.   ~Robert       We all know that crossing the Atlantic in an antique plane is risky. Only a fool would cross the Atlantic in an exact replica.   ~Robert       I took six and a half years to build a 450 Super Stearman and I flew it solo around the world. This is the only solo open cockpit flight around the entire globe. 24 Countries, 54 fuel stops, every ocean, desert, jungle and polar region. Every leg was a challenge, whether it was weather, or maintenance, or machine gun toting guards in Pakistan, or generals sitting behind a desk glaring at you. The bottom line is the world treated me very well. When you show up in a red and white painted plane I was treated very well. It was an unbelievable experience.   ~Robert       The lower you fly [in elevation] the more engaged you are.   ~Robert       The only way to do it is to forge ahead against all odds. You wrestle it and in the end you have a beautiful crafted plane.   ~Robert       At this point in the project I'm very familiar with the risk and the challenge. But the bottom line is, it's The Spiri

Welcome to the season 4 premier of The Lindberghs Podcast. About this Episode Hi, it's Erik Lindbergh. Welcome to the season 4 premier of The Lindberghs Podcast! This season we are organizing our theme around the idea of the "Ripple Effect.” This is the idea that our work creates ripples that reverberate outward from our lives that touch, affect and inspire other people, and their work in turn ripples outward.   My Grandparents both created ripples that spread around the world and are still rippling today. This season gives us an opportunity to explore some of those ripples and the people who are creating positive change in the world today. But life isn’t always a still pond, sometimes life rough and we struggle to breathe and stay afloat. Sometimes we cause negative ripples - does that define who we are? Why do people still call my Grandfather an antisemite? What is cancel culture? What happens when we rewrite history? What ripples are we each making today? How can you make a difference in the world today?   As I write this I am grieving the death of my father Jon and quite literally struggling to breathe above the turbulent waters in my recent life. It helps me to move forward knowing I have things to look forward to and to strive for. How can I make strong ripples and inspire others to do the same? How can we balance advancing technology with preservation of the environment? Our future literally depends upon what we do consciously today and what we plan to do tomorrow.    In many ways this is the most exciting season yet. We have a formal partner in The Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh Foundation (which makes perfect sense), and we have guests that are leading edge thinkers, writers, hysterians (a pun at guests James Hansen and Frances Levines expense ;-) explorers and even a centenarian Max Gurney who is our honorary ambassador to Monaco and introduced me to HSH Prince Albert II who has agreed to become a centennial circle member helping with the 100th anniversary of my Grandfather's (hysteric ;-)) 1927 New York to Paris flight.    I hope that this season gives you inspiration and vision to help you spread positive ripples outward in your life.  Perhaps to have a positive influence on someone or make the connections for someone that can change someone else’s life for the better. That is my hope and our payload - Enjoy!   Sincerely, Erik Lindbergh   Our Favorite Quotes from this Episode   He was a great amazing quiet guy who chose the sea instead of the sky. [referencing Jon Lindbergh] ~Erik   The gift of the sickness reminded me that all of the other drama in my life doesn't matter without my health. ~Erik   When I look at what we've dealt with this summer of 2021 I realize that everything is solvable. I get a lot of comfort knowing issues can be solved. ~Lyn     Mentioned in this Episode  The Lindbergh Foundation  The Ripple Effect  The Profusion Pump - Smithsonian Article  World Wildlife Fund  Gordon Hempton, The Sound

Season 4 Premier!

Hi there friends, it's Lyn. As I close out Season 3 of The Lindberghs Podcast I find myself drifting back to Spring of 2019 when we first started talking about bringing this show to you. Erik, the eternal optimist who is first in line to say anything can be done said, "No way...that's way too much work for a hobby." Me, the project manager by trade who can pull out an Excel sheet rapid-fire list every obstacle to success said, "Heck yea, we've gotta do this!" Friends, this was Spring of 2019. In  Season One we were on a tra-la-la dance through the 40 episodes produced that season. We brought in amazing discussions about our world, aviation,  Charles Lindbergh, and even produced an XPRIZE mini-series. I learned that I was actually a really great interviewer.  Erik cried online - twice. I had the moves like Jaggar. We were flying high. Then blammo: 2020. How could I continue to produce uplifting podcasts in Season 2 without sounding tone-deaf? Where would we find guests when the events we normally attended had vaporized? And how do we keep funding this hobby when most of our work and speaking engagements were postponed until 2021. Cancel-culture had arrived in full-force. How could we continue to be true to ourselves without fear of being cancelled?  In other words, what the heck should I do with Season Two? I decided to call baloney-bunk on all of the swirl, not live in fear, and instead surf this wave of 2020 together with you. We started by dedicating  an entire episode to listening skills because it seemed the world had completely forgotten how to listen. Then Erik and I came on and talked about  our experiences in quarantine, the  US Presidential Elections, and at one point took to  drinking while recording. I remember  one episode where Erik said, "We are doing good" and I quickly piped up, "No, I'm not good. I'm struggling. The isolation is killing me."  In comes Season 3. We are still in isolation with hints of the skies parting. We are somewhat back to normal but have this sense that normal no longer is relevant. Our episodes are a bit of an unbuckled road trip where we forgot our map at the gas station.  One episode is about a man conquering world records, while another  episodes is about me struggling with health issues and my struggle to get off a perspiration medication. Another  episode highlights the very cool VeriJet company, while  another talks of Pain and what our guests call The Great Ache.  My lesson, sometimes the best adventures can be unplanned.   I am so grateful for this podcast and all of the connections and friends I have made. Yes, I'm talking about you! Our guests and our listeners give me more than I've ever given back. I smile more, I reflect more, I am reminded that I am not alone. For that, I'm forever grateful. Most podcasts die after six weeks or six episodes. We've made it two years and 70 episodes; and that makes me proud. Look ma, it did it! Season 4 begins runs September through November. I'll see you the

Dr. Pat Anderson: VTOL in 2021 Part Two

This is the first of two episodes on VTOL in 2021. Our Favorite Quotes from Eric Bartsch    For all of the things we want to do in the industry, you're going to wait a lot of time for it to happen. If you want it now it's going to take hybrid systems.   ~Eric       There are a lot of people captivated by the Tesla of the air. We are enamored by them and their stock price going up. The reality is there was 25 years between when the first hybrid electric cars hit the market and now. We need everything to be even higher performance and safer.   ~Eric       To the point of hype, I think that happens in every industry. Anything that is exciting enough to be compelling will have a reality based side to it and a hype based side to it.   ~Eric       It's a lot harder to do things in the real world than the virtual simulated world.   ~Eric       In general [working during COVID] went better than we had expected. We were able to operate, function, and keep things going. But there were times in there where it looked scary, which was true for everyone.   ~Eric       They [VerdeGo Aero employees] deserve a huge amount of credit for getting us through two generations of the best hybrid electric hardware in the world during covid. There's such a huge amount of dedication to getting the job done. We've got great people and that's what it comes down to. You need a strategy to get it going but you need great people to get the job done. I'm really thankful for the whole team we have on board and how they made progress doing really hard things that have never been done before.   ~Eric       We are becoming the premier hybrid-electric team in the world.   ~Erik       It's been a hard year. You've got to have a vision to get to the place on the other side. This last year there were a lot of individuals, families, and companies that were getting hit from so many directions. You've got to take time to put things together.   ~Eric       As a leader you have responsibility for more than yourselves at all times. You have the responsibility to not only go through it yourself, but to help others get through it too.   ~Eric       In December of 2019 I said okay [my health and fitness] has to change. You can't get around getting older, but the quality of life if you are able to get ahead of some of these [negative health] trends, it's a whole lot easier. Everyone's personal struggle is unique to them and getting ahead helps your quality of life immensely.   ~Eric       I had to get [my health] in balance without any fad diet. I had to figure out how to do this for the rest of my life in a way that worked for me. For me it was about taking the mentality of balance.   ~Eric      Mentioned in this Episode   Eric Bartsch in Season One, Episode 7   VerdeGo Aero   SPAC - Special Purpose Acquisition Company   Reverse Merger   EV1   Eric's 50th Birthday    ***** The Lindberghs Podcast is a production of Erik Lindbergh and his wife Lyn Lindbergh.   Erik is the Chairman of

With different types of trauma we can detach ourselves and go into autopilot. We want people think about how the pain in their lives can be coped with.
