    New Mike Patey video? I must stop whatever I’m doing and click. I could literally listen to this gentleman speak about physics math and engineering all day. So much talent in one human wrapped up in a sincerely kind person. Top tier respect from me, sir for pretty much everything you, your brother and family accomplish.

      @SoloRenegade Před rokem +11

      @@Bendejo-lm8wo That's not exactly true. part of success in life is simply being in the right place at the right time. luck. Studies show this. Many people have done exactly the same as Mike Patey and others and never succeeded. and often times it was a matter of timing. they introduced a new idea too early or even to late, when another person hit it at just the right moment. Hard work counts, but there are tons of people that work just as hard, if not harder. there are people smarter too. Now, it doesn't take pure smarts to succeed, we know that. but timing can be everything.
      I'm not here to rain on Mike's success. from what I know he earned and deserves every bit of it.
      the issue I'm here to rain on is the false idea that such people are rare, in short supply, and the baseless accusation that they aren't hard working enough to achieve the same.
      There are people that have far cooler ideas, and know far more than he does about those ideas, are comparably as hard working, and they simply never got the right opportunities to achieve a level of success that enables them to self fund their visions. workaholics are not in short supply, and people with ideas are not in short supply either. the opportunities to pursue them are. And not everyone is a good business person either, and that prevents a great many of people from ever earning enough alone. They have amazing ideas and talent, but need business partners to help them where they are lacking.
      the Great Filter preventing great minds from achieving their potential is frustrating at times. I se far too many people who clearly have potential crushed by society doing everything in their power to destroy them.

      @@SoloRenegadenot sure where you live, but the world I have seen definitely lacks workaholics, in particular ones that continue to be workaholics past the first couple set backs. I do agree that we don’t lack people with ideas, I would disagree however if someone claimed they were all good ideas…
      What was it, like 5 to 10 years ago or so when there was tons of adds for patent filling because everyone had the next invention that was the best thing ever? Lots of people with ideas, less with good ideas, much less with an ounce of perseverance.
      I don’t want to rag on the average Joe too hard, I feel it would be disrespectful to the spirit in which Mike puts out these videos. But I’d rather see more people pull up their selves, get educated, and get back to work than to have more excuses as to why they could’ve been but just weren’t.

      Joentexas /agree. This sort of statement would normally be hyperbole, but in Patey's case, it's genuinely true. If you watch the entire Draco video series, Mike's bonafide creative genius is demonstrated again and again. From the big picture to tiny details like the names of all those who helped or are friends put all over the plane, its meticulous and the finished product looks beyond professional. It's truly amazing that we get to watch something like this.

    I’ve always wanted a deep dive explanation into Turbulence! You say that industry professionals said it couldn’t be done. With this recent OceanGate situation, I want to understand the difference between someone that is ego building, and someone that truly breaks barriers safely. In another video can you talk about your process to design something completely innovative and exactly what your skills are and what kinds of outside help you get? Maybe explain when to trust your own abilities and when it’s time to ask for help. Thanks again for all your inspirational videos! I’m almost to my ATP minimums and I’ve been deeply inspired by the Draco and Scrappy series. I hope to fly with you guys someday and hope to build something cool too.
