Ep- 17- From Demigod to Novice: Captain Bonni Mulinge on Losing a Dream and Building Another.
(So) How's Business? by Alma Mabachi
Episode notes
Bonni Mulinge was 6 years old when she decided she was going to fly. By 28 she was a commericial airline captain. By 37, a seizure with no known cause ended her career overnight. In this conversation, Bonnie talks about what it felt like to go from commanding a Boeing 777 to standing still and figuring out what comes next. She talks about the financial hit, the identity loss, the bender, the pivot, and how Jipe Apparel came out of a conversation over Jaba Juice with a friend.
This is a story about grief and reinvention. About a woman who flew theworld and came home to build something that is entirely hers.
So...how's business?
