Whether flying cargo and personnel into enemy territory or travelers to Paris, every single flight has required absolute trust between him and his crew. It's a lesson that's been reinforced mission after mission, flight after flight: Trust your people like your life depends upon it.

But Jason doesn't just understand the importance of trust; he knows how to build it-through a culture of deep commitment, accountability, and empowerment.

As a Squadron Commander and Instructor at the US Air Force Academy, he discovered the principles behind the trust he experienced in the cockpit. As he implemented those principles in his squadron, he saw trust skyrocket, performance improve, and engagement increase.
