In this episode of Tools of Fighter Pilots, Tommaso Cartacci sits down with Jason “RICHO” Richardson — fighter pilot, airline captain, and Formula 1 synergy coach — to explore why psychological safety is the foundation of high-performing teams.
Together, they unpack:
✈️ What silence in meetings really signals about team health
🧠 Why vulnerability from leaders creates trust and growth
🎯 How fighter pilot debriefs teach us to learn from mistakes, not hide them
⚖️ The difference between accountability and blame
🏁 What corporate teams can learn from squadrons and Formula 1 crews
Whether you’re building teams in the sky, in sport, or in business, this conversation reveals why safety and standards together create the “learning zone” where people and performance thrive.
