Skyward Podcast

Hi, I'm so happy you're here! I'm Mercedes, the host of Skyward — a pilot and flight instructor sharing the real stories behind aviation and aerospace, straight from the people living them.

In each episode, I chat with the people who make aviation and aerospace happen — pilots, instructors, flight attendants, founders, engineers, and the folks steering missions from the ground up — about everything from flight training and pilot health to career journeys, work-life balance, and the community that makes this world what it is. My goal is simple: to inform, connect, and help you love the skies even more.

Season 2 launches Monday, October 5 — and Skyward moves to a new episode the first Monday of every month. Follow so you don't miss it.
