Love Rashawn's comments and vibe in this interview. Great communicator!
Check out "A New Approach to Altissimo Trumpet Playing" by John H. Lynch It's from the 1980's but I think it's still in publication and it helped me reach a double C and beyond. I love it because he's a physicist that worked for NASA and was also a trumpet player looking to play high notes. It's mostly text about the embouchure and some about the equipment, there's also some exercises in the high range.
Geat video. Really appreciated the reference to Gerado Rodriguez.
Love this and love Reinhardt too 😎 thank you for posting this!! 🏆⭐️😎🎺❤️

What book is he talking about?
Hello Big Boss Bop Sapp. We miss you
Saying "how you use the air" is still giving too much credit to the air and the breathing apparatus. Efficiency happens as a result of how the embouchure functions. Everyone from a 7th-grade student, on up to an 80-year old person has enough air power to play double-Cs. What separates those who can from those who can't is the embouchure. This podcast confirms that. All these teachers - some of them who are respected and renowned - who say that "Oh, it's all in the air, it's all about your breathing," they're just flat-out wrong. Maynard Ferguson didn't help matters by sending people down a rabbit hole with all of his bluster about Yoga breathing techniques and all of that nonsense. Maynard didn't know why he could do what he did, and if you watch Denis DeBlasio's podcast about "the high-note book" it confirms this first hand. And a lot of these respected teachers who preach about air, they are great players, but a lot of what they do with their embouchures happens so unconsciously, they don't know what's going on, so they're left to theorize and they end up theorizing incorrectly that air is more important than it is. What Rashawn is saying is absolutely correct and I'm glad that he had the courage to point it out in spite of the fact that it goes against what is preached by a lot of the conventional trumpet wisdom.
I reckon it is like whistling. Some guys can, some guys can't. Except there's some radically different ways of whistling whereas the brass thing seems much more limited. But I reckon just like whistling those who can don't really know how come they can. They can tell you what they remember about how they got there. They can try and describe to you what they're doing when they're doing it. But they know bugger all about how other guys got there or what they're doing and even less about what's going to work for you...
Who is this Larry that he mentions couple of times?

Check out Doc Reinhardt compression studies. Play high c
There are like 5 major methods. Only one is likely to work for your combination of lips, teeth, tongue. Each one you try will take a few years to perfect.
Air pressure is not created in the oral cavity. It is by the exhalation effort.
