I am an aerospace engineering, sales, and marketing executive with over 20 years experience in commercial aviation. I have been involved in some of the largest aerospace projects in the history of aviation and I have worked for the largest OEMs and airlines in the world. My career has seen downturns, upswings, and near-collapse after COVID. I have helped companies survive the ups and downs of one of the most sensitive, cost-conscious, and low-margin industries in the world. Many influential people have said the quickest way to being a millionaire is to start with a billion and invest in the aerospace industry, so the lessons I have learned in business, operations, engineering, and sales have come from a place of survival, desperation, and terror in some cases. I believe the lessons I have learned in this industry can translate to many others, especially to any industry rife with regulatory compliance, fixed revenues, and strong competition.

I have created a new mental wellbeing / mindfulness framework that enables people to improve their clarity of thought and peace of mind. It introduces a new mental wellbeing practice - Contemplation - systematic self reflection and deep thinking. It also provides certain key principles that enable you to think more clearly in a manner that makes you feel more fulfilled, purposeful and peaceful. A systematic decision making journal helps you find answers to important personal or professional questions you might have in your life today - Should I be in a relationship with this person, Should I take up this job, Should we invest in this company, Should we expand into this product or market, Should my kids go to this school, Should I rent this apartment, etc. You start with writing your question or situation you need to resolve in your journal, and use Contemplation on these key principles as well as the trigger questions in the journal to find the answer that is right for you in that situation, the solution that improves your peace of mind not reduce it. This mindfulness framework is called ADIOS - A Dialogue In Objective Silence - because it is a dialogue that you have with yourself, without a bias, in silence, alone. The framework is detailed in my book https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJMTR8Z6. You can know more about the Adios approach by listening to this interview of mine: https://rss.com/podcasts/joshua-t-berglan/819296/ The Adios framework is endorsed by senior mental health doctors in the US. Here is a discussion with Dr Antonio Ocana on how Contemplation on the Adios principles impacts your brain: https://youtu.be/Iu9qWYwxvSw
