Episode 53 is out today with guest OpeOluwa Iyortim!
OpeOluwa fell in love with aviation on his very first flight as a toddler. He has lived with the single-minded goal of becoming an Airline pilot since then.
This end goal of a career in aviation has influenced all his major life decisions, including his choice of a Bachelor’s degree in Geography. He also spent a year teaching geography at a high school after university, where he developed a love for sharing knowledge and mentoring.
OpeOluwa completed the integrated commercial pilot course (ICPC) at the Moncton Flight College in 2016, after which he instructed with the school for two years before launching his airline career at a regional carrier. In addition to his busy schedule, he still finds time to instruct and mentor pilots on the side. While he admits it is a juggling act, he finds joy and fulfilment in bringing people into the family that is aviation.
Appreciative of the peculiarities that enabled him to build an airline career in just 4 years, OpeOluwa founded The Vectored Approach Consulting: an initiative driven by the vision of lowering the barriers to aviation and improving the flight training experience.
OpeOluwa and The Vectored Approach can be found on linkedin, instagram @tva_consulting, and online at www.vectoredapproach.com.
