Flying Solo — For CEOs Only, CEO Shoptalk
Flying solo, Big Red Car? Where did that come from?
Big Red Car here on a cool and gray ATX day. Only getting to 88F today, downright cool. Hot tub tonight for the BRC? Hell, yes!
OK, so there are a number of analogies between flying airplanes and startups — takeoff, reaching cruise, landing. Startup, scale, exit?
One of the most apt analogies is the idea of FLYING SOLO.

In life, one doesn’t receive power, one TAKES power. Think about that for a second. Flying solo is about taking power.
