## Resource

In this episode, I break down the reality behind private jets and why the people who own them aren't who you think. It's not tech founders or venture backed startups. It's operators running simple, "boring" businesses like HVAC, storage, and local services. I share how those businesses create real wealth, and how that wealth translates into true freedom like being with family when it matters and turning full day trips into a few productive hours. I also walk through exactly what it costs to own a jet, how I structured the deal, and how the management works behind the scenes. And I get into my own journey of learning to fly, what changed my perspective, and why I ultimately decided to focus on building instead of being in the cockpit.
