About this conversation

Why is a Dubai pilot building software for airline crew?

In this episode of LadderShift, I sit down with a flydubai captain building Offdays, an app for crew, to explore what happens when someone who knows an industry from the inside starts building for it.

We get into the everyday problems behind a job that looks glamorous from the outside, the decision to build an app, and the questions that come with turning an idea into something people will actually use.

Where can AI help? What could vibe coding make possible? And how much of the hard work still comes down to understanding people, choosing the right problem, and getting the details right?

If you’ve ever looked at something frustrating in your own industry and thought, “Someone should fix this,” this conversation is for you.

I’m Sajal Dubey, and this is The Laddershift Podcast: conversations about AI, building businesses, and the decisions that change what we do next. In episode one, I said I wanted to build real things with real people. This is that conversation continuing.

What’s one big, boring problem in your industry you’d want to solve? Tell us in the comments.
