Donald and Anna are a brother and sister duo who co-wrote this memoir "Where We Land" based on Donald's experiences as a pilot. This was the first episode with two guests, and these two were an absolute blast to chat with!Book Description: Embark on a journey with Donald Osborn, a natural-born storyteller whose life unfolds like an exhilarating adventure across the globe.Hailing from humble beginnings in western Nebraska, Osborn navigates the diverse landscapes of life, from small-town roots to the vast expanses of the world, collecting subjects and stories along the way. His career takes off from entry-level flight instructing to navigating the turbulent currents of the commercial airline industry.Yet, Osborn's story is far from conventional. He's not just a pilot; he's a real-life character, exploring outdated safety protocols in the airlines, encounters with A-list celebrities and U.S. Presidents, and occasionally transporting human organs.Balancing his time in the sky, Osborn engages in entrepreneurial ventures, from flipping houses to tree trimming, all while lamenting the downfalls of a bumpy career."Where We Land" is not just a memoir; it's a vivid journey woven with hard knocks, fortunate breaks, and a fair share of questionable decisions. Osborn's candid storytelling invites readers into a world where resilience, humor, and unyielding spirit prevails.Book link: https://www.amazon.com/Where-We-Land-Reflections-Altitude-ebook/dp/B0CWB34JMH?ref_=ast_author_mpbAnna on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/where_we_land_book/Anna on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@where_we_land_book_____________________________________________________________To join the 2025 Readers' Favorite Book Awards, check out this link: https://readersfavorite.com/ref/54320My books: https://www.amazon.com/stores/G-Edward-Martin/author/B0BVCFRTM2?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=trueMy Website: https://edwardmartinbooks.com/Signed books, podcast T-Shirts, and art prints: https://www.etsy.com/shop/GEdwardMartinAuthor mindset coaching: https://www.patreon.com/c/g_edwardmartin
