Unlocking Trillions in Economic Opportunity by Disrupting the Aviation Industry (LIVE) ft. Tom O'Leary - Ep. 23

The first live recording of the Grit Rising podcast features Tom O'Leary and is proudly sponsored by Entrepreneur Magazine. Tom is the CEO and co-founder of Jet Zero, where he's leading the charge in revolutionizing aviation with a mission-driven mindset. Prior to this, Tom played a pivotal role at Tesla as an early senior executive, serving as Director of Sales and Marketing, and was instrumental in building the innovative market-facing infrastructure that helped the company become a trailblazer. With a career that spans multiple pioneering companies, including Autoweb.com, eBay Motors, and other industry disruptors, Tom has mastered the art of taking startups from their early stages to transformative success.

At Jet Zero, Tom and his team are tackling one of the most ambitious challenges in aviation—designing an ultra-efficient Blended Wing Body jet that promises to reshape the future of air travel. Partnering with the US Air Force, NASA, and the FAA, they're on track for an entry-into-service by 2030. The Jet Zero Blended Wing will be the biggest leap in commercial aircraft design since the start of the jet age, with 100% SAF compatibility and the capacity to eventually support zero-carbon hydrogen. It's a testament to Tom's unwavering grit and determination to push the boundaries of what's possible, aiming for a future where aviation is fully sustainable.
