## Resource

Aviation safety and Netflix have more in common than you'd expect, and Sheryl Clarke, Netflix Aviation and Transportation Safety expert, is the person who bridges both worlds. In this episode, host Jason sits down with Sheryl for a raw and riveting conversation that goes far beyond the cockpit, exploring how Safety Management Systems mirror elite business culture, drawing powerful parallels to the Netflix culture manifesto. Together, they unpack just culture, accountability, and the fear of retribution - because as Sheryl puts it, "you can either shame and blame, or you can learn, you can't do both." From a real in-flight emergency aboard a Global jet and why the captain's decision to "just fly the airplane" was exactly right, to how SMS methodology applies directly to business mistakes, to the truth about eVTOLs, UAVs, and pilotless aircraft entering the national airspace, this conversation is as grounding as it is eye-opening. If you've ever wondered why fear of retribution is the silent killer of both safety and business performance, and what a genuine just culture actually looks like in practice, this is the episode you don't want to miss.
