Joel Peterson, former chairman of JetBlue, founder of the PE firm Peterson Partners, and author of “Entrepreneurial Leadership“, spoke with Brian Kilmeade about the need for a war time mentality and creativity from business leaders and entrepreneurs during the pandemic because we can’t rely on politicians to lead the way.
Peterson also discussed the pandemics impact on the airline industry, comparing it to the initial impact 9/11 had on people’s fears of flying. Peterson says with airlines improving sanitizing techniques, taking temperatures, wearing masks, blocking middle seats and using HEPA filters, he believes it will help convince the public how safe air travel is.
