Show Notes

Richard Gearhart and Elizabeth Gearhart, co-hosts of the Passage to Profit Show, sit down with Richard Browning, inventor, author and founder of Gravity Industries.

What if the future of flight isn’t in airplanes—but on your own body? In this jaw-dropping episode, Richard Browning, founder of Gravity Industries, reveals how he turned a seemingly impossible idea—strapping jet engines to his arms—into a real-life jet suit capable of 80 mph flight and a company valued in the tens of millions. From bootstrapping prototypes with spare parts to landing major investors, redefining military and medical mobility, and building a brand inspired by (but distinct from) Iron Man, Browning shares the raw entrepreneurial journey behind creating an entirely new category. This is a masterclass in innovation, risk-taking, and how to turn science fiction into a scalable business. Read more at: https://gravity.co/
