Grateful to Colonel Justin Elliott ("Astro") for spending time with our leadership team and sharing the mindset behind one of the world’s most disciplined and high-trust organizations. What stood out was not merely the aircraft or the maneuvers. It was the mindset. The Thunderbirds demonstrate what every mission-driven organization strives for: clarity of purpose, humility in leadership, radical honesty in debrief, and a team that operates with absolute trust in one another. Colonel Elliott, thank you for your service, your example, and your willingness share your wisdom with our team. We are better leaders because of it. If you have not seen the Air Force Elite: Thunderbirds documentary on Netflix, it is worth the watch. It captures the mindset behind elite performance better than anything I have seen.

Ryan, you summarized it really well. We are inspired and are better leaders because of it and we continue to implement the lessons we have learned. I would add, even if you have seen it, find a way to watch it again. I have multiple times and every time, I get something new every time. This is a gift that keeps on giving.
