Episode Synopsis

Featuring: Matthew “Whiz” Buckley.  
“During my 15 years as a Navy fighter pilot, I enjoyed nothing more than pushing the throttles forward to Max Afterburner with the engines of my F/A-18 Hornet, catapulting off an aircraft carrier (0 to 200 mph in 1.5 seconds) and flying in challenging and hostile environments around the world.   These days – as a Philanthropist, CEO, Entrepreneur, Trader, and Executive Leadership Coach – I’m no longer driving my F/A-18, but I get that same feeling of power and exhilaration when I start the engines of an under-performing company, rev up the employees and executive team, and watch them blow away the competition.  People often ask me, “how did you catapult from the cockpit of an F/A -18 to the CEO corner office of a $2.5B Wall Street firm?”
Basically I applied everything I learned as a Naval Aviator – at supersonic speeds and combat sorties over Iraq – and as a Naval Officer leading hundreds of sailors and Marines and applied my military experiences to the challenge of turning around failing or stagnating businesses and starting successful new ones.   I am passionately interested in the art and science of executive leadership, strategic planning and – most important – Execution.    I've also had some exceptionally great business mentors who showed me how companies succeed (and how they fail). And I'm forever grateful to the Navy and my mentors for all of these challenges, opportunities, and rewards.”
