Ep. 301 The Underdog Revolution at Spitfire Elite with Tron Williams

Three hundred episodes. Wild. Absolutely wild. We made it here together—and it's all thanks to you, our Ready 4 Pushback family! To mark this incredible milestone, Nik sits down with one of his closest friends and longtime collaborators—Tron Williams, CEO and co-founder of Spitfire Elite. This isn't just another chat about résumés and interviews—this one goes deep. Nik and Tron unpack the origin story of Spitfire, how two Navy guys and a vision for helping underdogs turned into one of aviation's most respected professional-development communities. From humble beginnings in a closet studio to a global community of aviators pursuing their dream jobs, this episode celebrates what it means to build something bigger than yourself—and to lift others while you climb.
