2025 Recap

Hi everyone, and Happy (almost) New Year of 2026!

I admittedly did not make a ton of progress on my flying business in 2025. There were some slowdowns due to my personal life. My wife and I have been working on starting a family, and our son is due in February of 2026! As a result, we also tried to squeeze more travel in this year, in addition to house projects that required us to move out of our home for a bit. I also changed jobs and am now working at a startup in data quality. Additionally, I put out another mobile app called "Music2MyEyes," which is a daily music game, another passion of mine.

The exciting news is I have finally submitted my book for publishing today. It is called "Round Trip: How I Acknowledged - and Conquered - My Fear of Flying." I am hoping this will be available in the early days of 2026. I intend to market this book, my website, and the ConquerFlight app more in 2026. Sadly, word hasn't gotten around enough to help me kick off my mentorship program. This would be great to get launched and help people, to not only assist them but also help me fine-tune my program to be the best it can be.

My goals in 2026 are to: publish "Round Trip...", re-design and clean up/enhance the ConquerFlight mobile app, market my site more, and get my first few pro-bono mentees for my program. I hope to also write more blog posts in 2026.

Stay tuned for more content and exciting news in the Flight Mentor Matt land! Thank you all and have a wonderful New Year!
