Award-winning director, author, speaker mentor, and entrepreneur Tricia Brouk returns to One Sharp Sword for a powerful conversation about ambition, presence, service, and wise leadership.

Tricia takes Dr. Wayne Pernell from her childhood on a Missouri farm to a global dance career that included performing with Mikhail Baryshnikov. She shares how appearing in Antigone shortly after 9/11 transformed her understanding of art as service—and why influential communicators must show up prepared to care for their audience.

They explore why speakers should share from the scar rather than the wound, the difference between having emotion and becoming emotional, and how Tricia's STILL method—Stop, Tune In, Intuit, Listen, and Learn—helps leaders respond from wisdom instead of ego.

Tricia also discusses Being Smart Is Stupid, The Wise Leopard, the upcoming film Dog Years, and the leadership lesson at the heart of her relationship with Wayne: work with people who make you better.

Can you verify that a private charter is legal and safe before you board—and before your money moves?

CoachAir founder and CEO Jacob Baumler joins Dr. Wayne Pernell to reveal a largely hidden problem within private aviation: passengers may have no simple way to confirm an operator’s authority, aircraft status, pilot qualifications, insurance, and trip legality.

Jacob’s mission began after he personally experienced an illegal charter and fraud. In response, he and his wife founded CoachAir to help replace aviation’s fragmented, trust-based processes with connected verification and protected transactions.

In this episode:

• The personal experience that inspired CoachAir
  • What makes a private charter legal or illegal
  • Why Part 135 certification matters
  • How passengers can verify before they fly
  • Why aviation still relies on paper, spreadsheets, and phone calls
  • How protected payments can serve passengers and operators
  • How better aircraft visibility could improve emergency response
  • What FBOs and vertiports do
  • How air taxis will change transportation
  • Why advanced air mobility needs verified trust
  • Jacob’s leadership vision for scaling CoachAir
  • The future of safer, frictionless aviation

Jacob also explains why this issue extends beyond today’s private travelers. As air taxis, electric aircraft, drones, and other new forms of mobility become more accessible, the industry will need a safety and trust infrastructure capable of scaling with them.

Are you consciously creating your future—or simply following the script you were handed?

Dr. Wayne Pernell talks with entrepreneur, Army veteran, business operator, and author Steve Rolle about rejecting inherited limits and deliberately building the life you want. Steve shares how growing up in a low-income community outside Washington, D.C., shaped his early expectations—and how mentorship, books, an Army ROTC scholarship, and exposure to business ownership expanded his sense of possibility.

You’ll learn how environment influences identity, why the right mentor can interrupt a limiting pattern, and how small, repeatable wins help you prove a new identity to yourself. Steve also explains why joining higher-level communities requires bringing value to the table and shares his motivation formula: value × belief × immediacy ÷ friction.

The episode’s central challenge is simple but powerful: actively reject the future you did not choose, decide who you want to become, and prove it through action.
