Episode 62: Overcome the Fear of Flying - Vinodh Benjamin

There are some fears that the more you learn about them, the more fearful you become, and then there are fears that the more you learn about them, the less fearful you become. Flying is one of those fears where educating yourself about how it works can be the best strategy to overcome anxiety while in the air. 

Vinodh (Vin), a Commercial Airline Pilot, is on the podcast to talk about Fear of Flying— and more specifically, all the reasons there is to NOT be afraid to fly. Kaylor opens up and talks about his bad experience on a flight, his struggles with flight anxiety and how he was able to overcome this fear himself. 

Kaylor asks Vin a ton of questions on, odds of crashing, how planes fly, why we should trust pilots, turbulence, engine failure, emergency situations, if he has ever been nervous on a flight, why can’t we use our phones, and much much more. 

You will love this episode if you have any anxiety or fear around flying, any interest in how the incredible technology of aviation works, or just what goes on behind the scenes of any commercial airline flight!
