Few people can take a perfectly good and honest story, and embellish it to no avail, better than a Marine Corps pilot. And so it is that The Ready Room podcast was born. My name is Phillip Goebel, my callsign is SUSAN. I’m a hockey player from the Midwest turned Marine Corps F-18 Pilot. If you google my name you’ll probably find a mugshot, some college hockey stats, and a picture of a restaurant I owned back in the day. Lucky for me in 15 years on active duty I was blessed to serve with some absolutely amazing people, and even a few that slipped through the cracks. Regardless, in every situation and encounter, whether it was a high or low stress scenario, there were lessons learned, many that were learned the hard way, and some of which were paid in blood. The goal of this podcast is to extract these lessons and share them with the world. Through the avenues of intelligent conversation, humor, history, shenanigans, and culture; I hope to share with people stories and lessons that will resonate in their daily lives. It might be something as simple as, hey, don’t get hammered with your old Tomcat buddies and crash your golf cart on the arresting gear, because that did happen, or something as serious as, how to genuinely take care of your people and how to get them to put every ounce of who they are into what it is they are doing. In my experience, I‘ve found that a strong dose of humor paired with a good cup of coffee or a quality beverage or two, will help keep things rolling. I hope you enjoy it, if you don’t, no worries, I encourage you to listen to Jocko Willink, Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan. There’s tons of really good brain food out there that’s worth checking out. And for those of you that do stick around, I hope you enjoy the ride. I am your host, SUSAN, and this is the Ready Room Podcast.

”Going to the Moon, Part 1. A case study on what can happen when a nation comes together” with author and podcast host, Mr. Rick Houston
American history is riddled with historic highs and lows, events of greatness, and events of despair. However, there have been the occasional moments when the nation as a whole was linked arm in arm in a common goal, and in 1962, that goal was to put a man on the moon. The process was a mystery, the objective almost a dream, but for those involved, no one told them it couldn’t be done, so they did it. On today’s episode I welcome Mr. Rick Houston. He is NASCAR historian, podcast host, NASA enthusiast, and the author of the book “Go Flight, the unsung heroes of MC”. We talk about his adventures as a journalist, his experience writing “Go Flight” and some amazing stories never been told from behind the scenes of NASA’s mission control. As well as a short story about how having the last name Houston pretty much guarantees you will become a NASA nerd. Enjoy!
