I had the privilege of sitting down with Balazs Kerulo, Lead Engineer of LIFT Aircraft, a company at the forefront of aviation. (liftaircraft.com) Balazs discusses his humble roots, how he got into aviation, and what he sees as the future of urban air mobility (UAM). Note: I am currently working with LIFT Aircraft. This experience has allowed me to see just how resilient Balazs has been and remains.

This is one from the archives. Merel Witeveen, who did our very first test interview (back in 2014, which I should post sometime), rejoins us at the conclusion of business school. She graciously shares and delves deeper on the role that joy and play factored into her ultimate Silver medal run and philosophy going forward. Laughter is a huge component of resilience. I hope that you enjoy this interview as much as I did. (no intro for the sake of shipping.) All the best, kevin - March 4, 2018.

Alex Pruden, Stanford GSB '19 shares a few stories from his time in the United States Army and Army Special Forces. The interview was live, recorded at Stanford, and some of the stories were new to me as of today as well. Thanks for listening, kevin, 3/4/2018.

Sam Fisher, Stanford '14 and Stanford GSB '19 sits down with us to discuss what it means to shut things down. How does it feel? What does it mean? And what doesn't it mean? I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation (recorded today) and I hope you do too. - kevin rustagi, 2/4/2018
