In this episode, we talk with Michael Meminaj, a former professional basketball player from Albania whose journey has taken him from a small town near Tirana to the fast-paced streets of Queens, NY. Now a thriving Uber driver navigating one of the world’s busiest cities, Mike is also pursuing his passion for aviation maintenance—a field where he’s determined to make his mark. We explore his inspiring transition from athlete to aviation enthusiast, his early days studying aircraft systems, and how the grit he learned on the court now fuels his drive to succeed in aviation. Whether you’re an industry veteran or someone just starting to chase their aviation dreams, Mike’s story reminds us that no matter where you start, it’s all about the climb.
