#18 Mike Miller-Smith - The Fight to Fly
In the first of three episodes in conversation with Aerobility CEO Mike Miller-Smith, we hear how a lifelong interest in aviation looked set to culminate in a career as an airline pilot, until a gradually developing health condition changed his course entirely. Mike reflects on his time at university, where despite having to respond to a failure in applying for an airline cadetship, he was still a successful member of the British Gliding Team and spent time abroad at competition events. It was in the following few years however, that an increasing physical weakness was eventually diagnosed as muscular dystrophy, and Mike is extremely honest in describing the challenge of his transition to using a wheelchair. Despite this setback, we hear how Mike continued to fly, and began to build a career in the pharmaceutical industry that would give him the skills and experience to one day lead a major flying charity.
