Life of an Army Aviator — The Highs, the Lows, and the Highs Again
Guest: Andrew Middleton | Founder, Middleton Consulting Group

This week on Military Mindset for Business, Pete Liston sits down with Andrew Middleton — former senior Army officer, helicopter pilot, and now leadership and strategy consultant. With over 25 years in defence, aviation, and global operations, Andrew shares the lessons that helped him transition from command to consulting.

We dive into the highs and lows of service, the challenge of life after the military, and how true leadership comes from trust, not just authority.

🎧 You’ll learn:
  • Why military identity can be both a strength and a stumbling block
  • The mindset shift that changed Andrew’s leadership approach
  • What it’s like singing to an Indonesian general... surrounded by gunmen
