#20 Mike Miller-Smith - Nothing is Impossible
This is the final part of our trilogy with Mike Miller-Smith, the “Accidental CEO” of Aerobility. Having discussed the past, Mike talks about the future with Harriett, and reflects on some of the challenges of integrating disabled people into aviation operations. He is drawn on subjects relating to leadership and people management, and we hear the importance of empathy and in understanding a diverse range of viewpoints when implementing a decision.
Despite his many successes, Mike is still susceptible to imposter syndrome, however he is clear in maintaining that a little self-doubt can make us better, and how he learned a “nothing is impossible” mentality at a young age, from some of his flying mentors. In all of this, Mike remains humble, and he shares with Harriett how he takes inspiration from the people around him, and how teamwork remains a core principle in his charity and his life, because “together we make such a difference”.
