#13 The Honorable James H. Burnley IV
It was our great pleasure to have The Honorable Jim Burnley on The Vertical Space. Jim has a vast background and wealth of experience, including as the former United States Secretary of Transportation. Jim provides his perspective on the free market, on transportation issues overall, on aviation, and how advanced air mobility fits into the big picture of transportation and logistics. Listen to Jim’s answer to the question of how he would evaluate a transportation system. We speak to many in our industry who are at times critical of our regulators – listen to Jim’s recommendations on working with regulators – a lesson for so many in our industry if they want to advance their technology. And listen to Jim’s recommendations to our entrepreneurs – how often do you directly hear recommendations from someone of Jim’s background and perspective? A smart, tough, experienced, knowledgeable national and global transportation leader who doesn’t hesitate to tell it like it is – enjoy this conversation Secretary Burnley. Thanks for joining us, Jim!
