About this listen

An Airport Ramp Perspective on Philosophy and Spirituality.

What insights could someone working on the airport ramp possibly offer about philosophy, spirituality and mindfulness? My name is Orion, and during my 25-year career working in the aviation Industry, I have been a part of some remarkable and unbelievable experiences, from working outside in -60º C to earning my wings and flying small airplanes.


In recent years, I have been seeking spiritual understanding of what it truly means to be human, through independent study of ancient philosophies and religions like Buddhism, Taoism, and Stoicism. Wings of Insight is a show where I will share how these teachings have enabled me, a regular working-class individual lead a fulfilling and content life, every day. My hope is to inspire others to explore this wisdom and knowledge from thousands of years ago, so they too can navigate our turbulent world with greater kindness, compassion, and positivity.


Grab your boarding pass and join me on this inspirational journey toward finding inner peace and lasting contentment. I look forward to welcoming you aboard!

    A Ramp Worker's Perspective on Philosophy, Spirituality and Mindfulness

    My name is Orion, and I have spent nearly 25 years working in the aviation industry and over the years, I have been fortunate to be a part of some remarkable and unbelievable moments, behind the scenes on the airport ramp.

    In recent years I have been seeking spiritual understanding of what it truly means to live a human existence through independent study of ancient philosophies and religions such as Buddhism, Taoism and Stoicism.

    In my upcoming show Wings of Insight, I will share how practicing ancient knowledge and wisdom has enabled me, a regular working-class guy lead a fulfilling and content life. I will also be sharing some stories from my vast career in the aviation from working on the ramp loading planes, to actually obtaining my pilot's license.

    My hope for this show is to inspire others to explore these teachings for themselves, so they too can navigate our turbulent world with greater kindness, compassion and positivity, and to show that living a content life is truly accessible to all.

    Grab your boarding pass and join me on this inspirational and insightful journey to inner peace and lasting contentment.

    I look forward welcoming you aboard!
