Retired Air Force Lt. Col. Waldo Waldman — aka “The Wingman” — flew 65 combat missions over Iraq and Serbia as an F-16 pilot before becoming a Hall of Fame leadership speaker and best-selling author of “Never Fly Solo.”
In this episode, Waldman joins host Joe Worley (flying solo himself this week) to talk about overcoming a fear of heights, surviving a near-death scuba diving accident, and building the trust and accountability that define great “wingmen.”
Key takeaway? Resilience isn’t built alone. Waldman previews his keynote address at The American Legion National Convention in Louisville, Ky., and shares details on his upcoming book, “Commit, Commit,” releasing Veterans Day.
