Extrology
Dave Ashley is the definition of life experience. He's experienced multiple tours of combat operations, broken his back ejecting mid flight across the desert, transitioned from pilot to flight instructor and made the successful switch to civvy street with his business, the Ashley Property Group that he runs with his wife Heather, specialising in portfolio building, property sourcing, land development and project management.
In episode 3 of Extrology, Lee Cooper interviews Dave, who takes us on his journey from a boy with a dream to flying in F 18, the incredible stress of combat, the transition from military to civilian life, the reality of a life turned upside down by a broken back, and the challenge of starting your own business from scratch.
They discuss:
- Dave’s fear of flying to later becoming a fighter pilot
- Making it in the military, and how you can too
- Adapting to civilian life and business
- Coping with life changing moments and injuries
- How being regimented can help in business
- How never being satisfied is a good thing
- When to give up a long term career
