Sky High Ambitions: Frank Lorenzo's Turbulent Ride To The Top Of The Airline Industry

Growing up the kid of Spanish immigrants living in Queens, New York—Frank was always looking up at the sky to catch a glimpse of the incredible planes flying right above him. Soaring into adulthood, he committed himself to his studies at Columbia and later Harvard Business School, determined to make his dreams a reality. He went on to manage multiple airlines, becoming known to some as ‘the Godfather of low airfare.’ Former CEO of Continental Airlines Frank Lorenzo joins Liz to share how his first airplane ride inspired his ambition for a career in aviation, his bumpy professional path to the top, and the story of how he cut airplane fares lower than ever before, which he details in his new book, “Flying for Peanuts.” Learn more about your ad choices.
