Private aviation has a reputation problem, and it's not because demand is slow, but because the system behind it is still operating like it's 1998.  Too many operators are stuck in old behaviors: seven brokers on a single trip, opaque pricing, and a customer experience that feels more like chasing down a missing receipt than stepping into a premium service.  We talk about “frictionless” tech in every other industry, but in aviation, friction is still the business model. And yet, the real opportunity in private aviation isn't more luxury, it's more transparency, standardization, and efficiency. The industry doesn't struggle because people don't want to fly. It struggles because the little guys can't scale, the big guys can't personalize, and customers end up paying $100 for a turkey sandwich wrapped like a gas-station snack.  If 90% of operators have fewer than 10 airplanes, how do they compete, maintain safety standards, reduce costs, or deliver anything resembling a modern experience? That's where FlyHouse is flipping the script. Their thesis is simple but radical for aviation: create a unified tech ecosystem, give small operators scale, tie owners and flyers directly to availability, and make safety a cultural standard, not a checkbox.  How is FlyHouse building a marketplace where transparency replaces guesswork, lift becomes predictable, and users can split a $40,000 flight as seamlessly as splitting a dinner bill?  My guest today, Jack Lambert, the CEO of FlyHouse, has spent the last three years building something the industry has resisted for decades: a tech-driven aviation model where operators, owners, and flyers all win.  In this conversation, we break down what it actually takes to modernize a legacy industry, where the real inefficiencies sit, and why culture (not just airplanes) is the asset that determines who survives the next wave of consolidation.   You'll also learn; Why private aviation feels chaotic today, and the hidden friction points customers never see How a tech marketplace with 2,000+ airplanes solves the real bottleneck: lift, not luxury The cultural and behavioral shifts operators must make for safety to actually mean something Why the “Henry” flyer (high earner, not rich yet) is reshaping private travel demand The economics behind brokers, GRPs, and why seven middlemen on one trip destroys value How small operators can access fuel savings, maintenance leverage, and real safety oversight through scale How Flyhouse's split-flight functionality turns private travel into a predictable, shareable, lifestyle product The little details that separate forgettable operators from world-class ones   About the Guest Jack Lambert is the CEO of FlyHouse. He is an industry veteran, widely respected for his leadership and innovation in private aviation. His aviation career is backed by decades of experience, and his personal achievements extend beyond business. A graduate of the University of Massachusetts Boston, Jack was a standout student-athlete, holding records in three sports and earning All-American honors. His exceptional achievements led to his induction into the university's Hall of Fame, further fueling the drive and determination that would later define his leadership in aviation. Building on this foundation of excellence, Jack went on to found and serve as CEO of Jet Access Aviation. Known for his creative vision and hands-on approach, Jack has earned a reputation for reshaping how businesses and clients experience private aviation. At FlyHouse, Jack continues his forward-thinking leadership style. His vision is rooted in the belief that transparency, trust, and putting people first are key to sustainable success. He leverages his deep industry knowledge to drive FlyHouse forward, fostering a culture of innovation while delivering exceptional client experiences. Jack's passion for aviation and unwavering commitment to service have enabled FlyHouse to redefine private flight, offering luxury, convenience, and affordability through a groundbreaking business model that benefits both jet owners and customers.

We've got the scoop on all that is new and different this year, plus some of the incredible community partnerships like SmartArt, that make ArtPrize a truly unique experience. A collaboration among the City of Grand Rapids, Downtown Grand Rapids, Inc.

Our friends at Consumers Energy join us to share the story of SmartArt. This special part of ArtPrize partners Consumers Energy with Grand Rapids Public School students in a unique way. Students have the opportunity to create an individual, unique piece of art that brings new ideas about sustainable energy to the forefront and into the discussion.

“I kind of just hit this point where I was like, I am not living authentically. What do I even like? I sort of had a relationship with myself but not really. Also, I was kind of battling my own sexuality at the time as well, too. And I just hit this moment where I was like, I can't do it any more — I can't live the way that I am living, I am not living for myself, and I don't feel authentic. And so, I ended up quitting running for a short little bit and then revisited the sport with a different mentality of, how can I enjoy this and still figure out these other areas of life that feel kind of swirly and messy?” Sammie Bennett, a west Michigan runner and SHE RUNS Grand Rapids race ambassador, grew up playing soccer and started running in 2012. Her first-ever road race? The 25K River Bank Run — a pretty big distance for a newer runner. Sammie and Heather talk about tackling this race (it was Heather's first-ever race, too), how Sammie went on to race the RBR five times, SHE RUNS Grand Rapids (formerly Gazelle Girl) three times, and various other local races totaling 80+ races over the years. During their conversation, Sammie also is honest about how her relationship with running has changed over the years, and the personal growth she's experienced in more recent time. Mental health awareness is incredibly important to Sammie, and her mission is to create an inclusive space for all kinds of runners, so everyone has a safe space to challenge their bodies and minds. As a SHE RUNS Grand Rapids race ambassador, she's particularly focused on helping create a welcoming, inclusive place for runners of all backgrounds and experience. “Inclusivity is one of my highest values as a runner myself, and also as helping create space for people to have a place in the running community in Grand Rapids because it can be so intimidating and it can also be a little off-putting when you show up in a community and you're like, I don't look like anyone else, I don't act like anyone else, I don't run like them, but Iwant to be a runner, or I think I am a runner,” she says. “And it's like, you know, you put shoes on and you go out for a run, you are a runner and you belong and that is really important for me to help empower people to not necessarily feel deterred because they don't look or feel or do things like anybody else. But if you are curious about running and you want to run, and a barrier for you is accountability or lack of knowledge or you're just looking for friendship, there's a place for everybody in the Grand Rapids running community to do that. And I am really big on trying to create that space for everybody if I can. I am trying. I am trying my best.” Sammie and Heather also talk about winter running and how signing up for a spring race helps keep us motivated throughout the coldest months in Michigan. Registration is underway for SHE RUNS Grand Rapids, which takes place April 30, 2023. The all-women's event includes a half marathon, 10K, and 5K. It starts and finishes in downtown Grand Rapids and features nine neighborhood and business districts on the half course, as well as area highlights including the historical Sixth Street Bridge. The event, now in its 11th year, features a Finish Line Festival, open to participants and the community — this event includes live music, food trucks, and local wines, ciders, and beers. 100% of event proceeds benefit Girls on the Run West Michigan and the YWCA West Central Michigan.  Learn more about SHE RUNS Grand Rapids, sign up for a race, and access downloadable training programs at sherunsgr.com  ALSO SHARED: Race discount code for the 30th anniversary Grand Rapids Public Schools Turkey Trot.

We hope you had a chance to attend our Take Five for Your Future webcast, “16 Questions Facing Media Pros,” on March 16. If you couldn’t join us, or want to review some of the information again, you can watch the complete webcast here. A panel of media and advertising experts shared their thoughts on the most pressing issues facing the industry this year. We reviewed the results of an industry survey that we conducted earlier this year, asked the panelists weigh in on the topics covered in the survey, and invited the webcast audience to take part in live polls about them. In addition, we compared these results to a similar survey we conducted three years ago to see how our industry is evolving. Carol Chung, SVP Media Technology at DigitasLBi, kicked off the discussion by sharing her thoughts on how media buying across screens will change at agencies as video consumption across multiple screens continues to increase. Next, Amy Garfinkel, SVP, Director of Investment and Activation at Mediavest, gave her thoughts on which buy-side stakeholders are best positioned to deploy media campaigns that leverage addressable TV, video on demand, interactive TV and multi-screen integration. Our Senior Director Corporate Research & Media Insights, Brad Adgate, weighed in on the shift in media currency from cost-per-point and GRPs to cost-per-thousand and impressions as cross-platform buys continue to increase. Later in the webcast, he also discussed the importance of measurement for these buys for the industry. Next, both Jeff Jones, Director of Media Services at McCulloch+Company and Mary Meder, President at Harmelin Media addressed the hot topic of programmatic, and when they thought it will play a bigger role in TV buying. The panel also addressed some of the biggest topics online advertising is currently facing – including ad blocking and ad fraud – and more importantly, how to combat them.

We hope you had a chance to attend our Take Five for Your Future webcast, “Impressions vs. GRPs: Is CPM the New Currency for Buying Local TV?” on April 2nd. Our panel of experts discussed the pros and cons of using targeted impressions for buying local TV advertising. If you couldn’t join us, or want to review some of the information again, you can view the complete webcast now. Janice Finkel-Greene, EVP, Director of Audience Buying Analytics at Magna Global, kicked off the lively panel discussion by sharing her thoughts on how a shift to impressions-based buying could help advertisers address the increasing fragmentation of audiences and make it easier for advertisers to combine multiple markets in a single buy. Additionally, Janice discussed how this would enable a more efficient buying process for local broadcast and cable inventory. Next up, Matt O’Grady, EVP & Managing Director, Local Media at Nielsen, talked about how qualitative data, layered on top of impressions-based buying, could precisely target consumers. Matt also shared his thoughts on how a shift to an impressions-based trading model could make local TV more comparable to other media for buying and measurement purposes. Rounding out the panel was Nick Garramone, SVP, Research and eBusiness Operations at NCC Media, who talked about how this shift in buying could impact an advertiser's ability to measure audiences on a sub-DMA and local zone level, as well as his thoughts on the various options of media currency. The panel also engaged in a roundtable discussion about the obstacles standing in the way of this media buying shift to impressions for local broadcast and cable advertisings in addition to how advertisers would benefit from a shift from GRPs to impressions. They also all shared how their companies are working to ensure that impressions-based buying is reliable, stable and consistent for advertisers before we opened it up to our live audience for questions. To download the slides from this or other educational videos and webcasts, please visit: http://www.comcastspotlight.com/takefive

For decades, “ratings” and “cost per point” have been the default metrics for planning and buying local TV. Each year along the way, advertisers, agencies, and media sellers alike waited for a new process to evolve. Now, though, we’re really beginning to see that transformation taking shape. Watch this brief video to learn how impressions-based buying and CPMs is better suited for a fragmented, multi-platform video landscape.
