Allow me to introduce Brian Drain, the Chief People Officer at daa.

Brian is a professional known for his expertise in human resources, operations management, safety management systems, aviation security, and contract management, with a wealth of experience in the airlines/aviation industry.

I had the privilege to work with Brain briefly on a project a while ago where I got the chance to witness Brian's remarkable work ethic, which immediately caught my attention.

It is a rarity to encounter individuals who genuinely derive joy from their work and authentically care about others. I noticed that from how he works with others and how he went above and beyond by generously mentoring me and patiently answering all my questions. As you may know by now, I'm quite generous with those :)

That is why I was eager to have him as a guest on the show.

In our conversation, we delve into his remarkable journey and the steps he took to attain the prestigious position of Chief People Officer at DAA. We explore the sources of his inspiration, his personal definition of success, the profound meaning the aviation industry holds for him, his genuine concern for the well-being of individuals, and the invaluable advice he has for those in their 20s who are grappling with the uncertainty of their career paths. Additionally, we touch upon Brian's leisure pursuits and the remarkable individuals who make up his inner circle. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom and insights.

Can't wait for you to listen to this episode.
