About the Author
John Foley is a former lead solo pilot of the Blue Angels, a Sloan Fellow at the Stanford School of Business, and an expert in the how of High Performance teams. As a Blue Angel, John consistently performed in an extreme, high-stakes environment, flying at speeds of more than 500 miles per hour and in formations as close as 18 inches apart. To survive in those circumstances, he relied on a culture of high trust and leadership that turned inherently unforgiving flight into extraordinary experiences. In John's post-Naval experiences as an entrepreneur, a venture capitalist and a business consultant, he employs the intense realities of his aviation career as a metaphor to motivate teams to reach for their highest potential and sustain excellence under dynamic change

"John Foley is the speaker that audiences are still talking about years later. His incredible energy, and his models of leadership, culture, and high performance are beyond unique." --JON REEDE, senior partner of Rave Speakers Bureau "John is a proven leader, and an expert in the how of high performance. This book will unlock a new level of leadership in anyone." --JOHN RYAN, president of Brookfield Residential Northern California "Since the days when John was my wingman, I have been continually amazed at his climb to heights above the clouds. In this book, he provides blue-sky clarity and a flight path to levels of performance few thought they could attain. An afterburner climb to success!" --GREG WOOLDRIDGE, three-time leader of the Blue Angels "I've worked with a lot of speakers over the years, and no one delivers an impactful, meaningful message to clients of all types like John does. His message hits the head and the heart!" --RICH GIBBONS, president of SpeakInc Speakers Bureau "The heart and soul of great companies are rooted in a culture of excellence; John has given us a roadmap. A must-read for executives." --DICK STRONG, Chief Investment Officer of Baraboo Growth, LLC "Hands down, the only business book I've read in years. John's message has a profoundness and truth you can touch. And it's gonna take you Beyond. Everything." --PATRICK D. COWDEN, founder of Beyond Leadership "John is a fireball! His passion is real, and his messages are timeless. See him speak. Read his book. Absorb his messages. And prepare for liftoff." --NEIL PASRICHA, TED speaker and author, The Happiness Equation and The Book of Awesome "I have invested in more than 120 start-ups in my 30-year career as a technology investor, and I am now an entrepreneur myself, and yet, I am still learning about entrepreneurship from John." --PHILLIPE CASES, venture capitalist; CEO of Readwrite Labs "John is a living example of fearless leadership. He successfully works with the best organizations and leaders, elevating their performance by sharing technology and a proactive mindset. His wisdom contributes massive growth personally and throughout organizations." --IAN LOPATIN, cofounder and CEO of Spiritual Gangster "John Foley flew his way to an understanding of human potential that is as rare as the Blue Angels themselves. Fortunately for the rest of us, he has an equally rare gift for sharing that truth--in clear, compelling, and human terms. Having John as your wingman will take you places you didn't know you could go." --GREG WELLS PHD, author, The Ripple Effect "Fearless Success asks the question, 'Once you reach the top, how do you stay there?' Elite performance is deliberate, actionable, and repeatable." --LUC ROBITAILLE, president of LA Kings, National Hockey League "I know John, and John knows trust, period." --DAVID HORSAGER, CEO of Trust Edge Leadership Institute, best-selling author, The Trust Edge "John Foley is the master at helping you achieve the highest levels of performance.
