Episode #17 of The Wake-Up Call: Foaming the Runway

When a plane is coming into an airport and it’s lost its ability to drop or lower its landing gear, emergency teams will foam the runway so that the plane lands and skids into a big pile of foam. That way, if any fires erupt, it’s already pre-foamed and maybe keeps the fire hazard down. So when you’re expecting something bad to happen, you foam the runway.

Welcome to “The Wake-Up Call,” my latest offering to share what I’m seeing in the world with Peak subscribers. This audio-only series is born straight out of the invigorating morning chats I have with Nick and Evie. Each day we’re seeking the grand Theory of Everything, or least trying to make sense of the latest nonsense du jour. Often we’ve been left thinking, “Dang, we should’ve hit record and looped in the tribe on this.” Well, consider it done. So, let’s dive in and get oriented together.
