Jeff Senour is an accomplished pilot with many years of experience flying both film stars in Hollywood and Channel 9 News in Los Angeles. In the first chapter, he employs several aspects of his flying career as metaphors to explain several aspects regarding life.

He goes on to emphasize the importance of embracing a servant’s principles and mindset, which are necessary for figuring out what really matters and creating the life one wants.

He makes a strong case throughout the whole book for readers to have confidence in their own skills and convictions, highlighting how important it is to do so in order to live a happy and meaningful life. Aside from flying, he is a music composer who has encouraged and motivated people all around the world to believe in hope, love, and forgiveness.
