Joing me in the studio, is fellow Australian Christian "Boo" Boucousis who is the CEO and owner of Afterburner. 

Over the past 40 years the Royal Australian Air Force has trained only 400 fighter pilots, Boo was one of them. Less that 1 in 10 start up businesses servive beyond a year. Boo has successfully launched or grown four. 

How has he beaten the statistics to consistently achieve his goals? By applying the fighter pilot mindset to everything he does, every day. 

Boo really started his career as a speaker over 25 years ago, as a mission commender in the Royal Australian Air Force leading 100's of men and women on complex missions where the margin of error is only 5 seconds, all while travelling in excess of 900 miles and hour or 1,500 km/h. 

He has refined his craft over the past five years as a professional speaker in front of audiences ranging from 40 to 4,000 and his keynotes are some to the highest ranked on Google. 

His successful fighter pilot career was tragically cut short after being diagnosed with a rare auto-immune disease. Confronting this significent life challenge Boo decided to leave his young family and start a business in war-torn Afghanistan called CTG Global, today one of the world's largest humanitarian project support companies. 

With one successful business behind him, Boo applied the skills learned as a fighter pilot to subsequent business ventures including a record-breaking inner city hotel development, co- authoring a book, acquiring and growing one of the world's largest aviation publishing businesses, and today pursuing his true passion as the CEO and owner of world- class consulting group, Afterburner and co-host of "The Few' Podcast.  

So kick the tires and light the fires and strap into for this incredible conversation.
