About Marc
Aviation trains pilots
to master machines.
Nobody trains the mind.
There is a profound gap at the heart of aviation. Pilots are trained to handle every mechanical failure, every weather system, every emergency procedure. They can recite checklists under pressure. But the psychological life of the pilot — the anxiety, the burnout, the identity, the fear of losing everything — that conversation simply doesn't happen.
Marc Launey sits at the intersection of aviation and psychology. His work is built on a single conviction: that the inner lives of pilots matter — not just as a safety issue, but as a human one. The podcast and writing create the space that aviation culture has never allowed.
"The cockpit is one of the most psychologically demanding environments on earth. We just never talk about it that way."
