## Resource

Jeremiah grew up around pilots, but for years he still had a fear of flying. In this episode of Pilots Say What, he shares how one discovery flight changed everything and set him on the path to becoming a CFI. He talks about switching careers, overcoming self-doubt in flight training, struggling through delays and setbacks in his private pilot journey, and what finally helped him break through. Jeremiah also shares honest thoughts on paying for flight school, building backup plans, and what it really takes to keep moving toward an aviation career.
