What Are You Waiting For? Breakthroughs Start Where Fear Ends!" In this episode, I'm thrilled to sit down with Jesse Itzler, an unstoppable entrepreneur, ultra-endurance athlete, and master of unconventional experiences. Jesse's journey is built on facing down fear, embracing challenges, and doing what most people would never attempt. From creating Marquis Jet and selling it to Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, to venturing into the unknown time and time again, Jesse's story is proof that success is found on the other side of risk. Jesse dives into the art of tackling “the wall” — that point where fear, doubt, and hesitation threaten to stop you. He talks about how he built a mindset that not only pushes through but thrives in uncertainty. When he realized he wanted to experience private jet travel but couldn't afford it, Jesse and his partner went straight to NetJets with nothing but a vision and unshakeable conviction. Against the odds, they secured a deal with Buffett's team, setting the foundation for what became a game-changing business. We also get into why Jesse believes routine kills creativity and how he designs his life around extraordinary experiences. He shares his practice of "Kevin's Rule," a commitment to creating meaningful experiences every two months. Jesse has made it his mission to build a “life resume” filled with unforgettable moments and deep connections. Key Takeaways: Face the Fear Wall: Success often waits on the other side of your greatest fears. Innovate Without Limits: Breaking from tradition can be a competitive advantage. Build Your Life Resume: Pursue experiences that enrich your life and create unforgettable memories. Be Irreplaceable: In every role—parent, partner, or professional—make yourself invaluable. Time is Scarce, Act Accordingly: Treat each moment like it's priceless, because it is. This episode is packed with strategies to turn ambition into action. Jesse's journey reminds us that life is too short to play it safe. Start building the life you want—one bold step at a time! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Welcome to The Hangar Z Podcast, brought to you by Vertical HeliCASTS! Thank you to MD Helicopters for sponsoring this special in-person interview with Jake Durham and Drew Muench from the Oxford Police Department Aviation Unit. The Oxford Police Department chose the MD Helicopters 530F model as its primary airborne mission platform due to its exceptional versatility and performance characteristics, tailored to their operational needs. The MD530F's agility and maneuverability make it ideal for various law enforcement tasks, including surveillance, search-and-rescue operations, and aerial patrols. Its powerful Rolls-Royce 250-C30 engine provides reliable performance in both urban and rural environments, crucial for the department's diverse operational landscape. The helicopter's compact size allows for efficient deployment and maneuvering in tight spaces, enhancing operational flexibility during critical missions. Equipped with advanced avionics and mission-specific equipment, the MD530F ensures enhanced situational awareness and operational effectiveness, enabling the Oxford Police Department to uphold public safety and respond swiftly to emergencies across their jurisdiction. To discuss the Oxford Police Department Aviation Unit, Jack Schonely speaks with Lt Jake Durham, the mastermind and commander behind Oxford's aviation unit, and Drew Muench, the chief maintenance pilot inside Oxford's beautifully purpose-built hangar. Jake Durham has deep roots in law enforcement and public safety that shaped his aspirations. Inspired by his family's legacy and an influential flight with the Alabama State Troopers Aviation Unit in 1997, Jake pursued a career in law enforcement. Starting as a patrolman with the Piedmont Police Department in 2003, he later joined the Oxford Police Department, where he climbed the ranks to lieutenant. Jake's visionary leadership led to the creation of the Oxford Police Department's Aviation Support Unit in 2011, despite initial setbacks. He meticulously developed the administrative components and overcame challenges in acquiring suitable aircraft. From a motor-glider in 2013 to an OH-6, and later a TH-67, Jake's persistence paid off. In 2016, he designed and managed the construction of the department's Special Operations Facility, housing the Emergency Services Unit, Technical Services Unit, and Aviation Support Unit. Jake's dedication continued with the refurbishment of an OH-6A helicopter in 2020 and the procurement of an MD530F in 2021, enhancing the unit's capabilities. Chief maintenance pilot Drew Muench's aviation career spans over three decades. Starting his flying career in 1983 as a line boy at a small airport, he earned his flight time through dedication and passion.His journey took a pivotal turn in 1988, when he began his path to become a Marine Aviator, only to pivot to the Army due to an injury at OCS. Serving 10 years as an Army Pilot, he mastered multiple aircraft including the AH-1, UH-1, OH-58, and CH-47, and became an esteemed instructor pilot. Transitioning to civilian life as an airline pilot, he faced challenges such as furloughs but found his place at NetJets, where he thrived as a Citation X captain and international training instructor. His dedication to aviation extended to helping establish the Oxford Air Support Unit in 2015, where he continues to guide the unit as chief pilot.Thank you to our special Sponsor MD Helicopters as well as Garmin and Wysong Enterprises.

Sam and Derek catch up and discuss their experiences at an OmegaBall event as well as what potential they see in this very early investment opportunity in the sports industry. About Anthony Dittmann: Anthony Dittmann began his career working for the San Diego Chargers until 1998. After the NFL, he worked for ESPN in several capacities; all involving the design, construction and management of ESPN-owned events including the ESPY Awards and culminating as the Director of Operations as well as Event Director for X Games in Los Angeles, Barcelona, Aspen and Tignes, France. Since the X Games, Dittmann has produced events for NBC Sports and The Enthusiast Network before ultimately starting Kilowatt Events with several colleagues. Kilowatt specializes in designing and executing major events in music, sports and entertainment that are typically televised. Major clients include ESPN, NetJets, C3 Presents, Pepsi, The LA Times and the NFL. In 2018, Dittmann patented (with his colleague Rafael Munaro), a foldable (to 2” wide) dual stream event recycle/trash bin that is poised to rid the industry of the ubiquitous, but ineffective cardboard event trash can. Cerobins have since been bought by major events and facilities including Sofi Stadium and Climate Pledge Arena. In 2020, Anthony invented a new sport called OmegaBall. Reimagining and revolutionizing the game of soccer with three teams, three goals, no offsides, and no throw-ins (cornerkicks only) in a circular field. All packed into a one-hour match in a field that is half the size of a traditional soccer field. Headquartered in San Diego, OmegaBall has already appeared on the Fox and ESPN networks with semi-professional players on the pitch. OmegaBall is also expanding into competitive youth and recreational opportunities through a new partnership with USSSA. OmegaBall is…. Chaos on the Pitch! Anthony also spent several years as an adjunct professor in the sport business graduate program at California State University, Long Beach and the University of San Francisco. He is also a helicopter pilot. DISCLOSURE: Sam Marks is related to Anthony Dittmann and, as of this episode's release, has not invested any capital into OmegaBall.

David Sokol joins the show to discuss the economy, recession and his book America in Perspective: Defending the American Dream for the Next Generation. “The problem is this administration is harming energy prices and spending money like drunken soldiers which is raising inflation.” “Without that you might have a gentler recession.

Studies show that when employees find meaning in their work, they're happier, more productive, more creative, and have higher wellbeing. And while individual employees need to do their part in finding that meaning, there's only so much they can do without the support of their leadership. Since we work in communities, wellbeing and meaning are shared responsibilities, and leaders need to be intentional about their part in it if they want to set up their businesses for higher success.This week I'm joined by Tamara Myles and Wes Adams, who together have researched how leaders can make work more meaningful for their teams, and why it's so imperative for success and workplace mental health that they do.

15 Lessons Aviation Can Teach You About Life: 1. You are responsible. 2. Attention is life. Inattention will be at least minimally harmful if not deadly. 3. There is always a curriculum. Preparation is advised. 4. A well-lived life, like flying, requires constant adjustments. 5. Think before you speak or key the mic. .... Listen for more. Q&A: Most common client questions lately: o Headlines – Beware! ▪ See housing market headline from Redfin o Headlines are meant to make you fearful. They have about three seconds to grab your attention in the world of fast-paced news. You will often see over-the-top headlines that are not even related to the article itself. o For example, “Redfin predicts sharpest turn in housing market since 2008 crash” ▪ If you actually read the article here is an example of the content: • “...for the first time since 2021, the average home is selling for less than its list price...” • “While home prices are still higher than a year ago, with the average home now selling for just under $370,000, inflation and high interest rates are slowing down the market.” Please sign up for our monthly Leading Edge-Read-Before-Fly Newsletter and Rate and Share our Podcast. 1.

What's the best path for young aspiring pilots? Cargo, Passenger, Fractional, Military? Common questions and points-to-ponder when deciding which path is right for you. • Do you enjoy long-haul flights that may last six to twelve hours? • How long are you comfortable being away from home? o Oftentimes, cargo pilots are gone for longer periods of time but they may also get large chunks of time off. For example, ten days on and ten days off. o Fractional carriers like NetJets typically work seven on and seven off. o Southwest Airlines' typical schedule would be three days on and four days off. • What are the differences in pay? o You'll probably make more at the cargo carries since most of the flying is wide- body, international. o You'll probably make less than average at fractionals but you may enjoy the type of flying more. For example, it is much more dynamic and less rote from day-to- day. Many people that have a passion for general aviation love the type of flying at a fractional carrier. • What type of commute should you expect? o For example, if you fly for FedEx or UPS, your bases will be very limited. So you'll probably be a commuter. o NetJets will fly you on a commercial carrier from your home to wherever your trip begins. o Either way, the panel of pilots agrees, living where you are based can greatly increase your quality of life and increase your income. Tune in for more details and differences in the types of commercial aviation.
As he announced his retirement from competitive tennis, Roger Federer thanked his supporters for helping make the dreams of a young Swiss ball kid come true. Regarded as one of the greatest male tennis players in history, Federer is hanging up his racquet as age finally catches up with him. At a time when the sport was getting more aggressive, Federer embodied a calm that champions strived for. His record in Wimbledon is a testament to this style of play. His style on the court was artistic as he relied more on elegance than raw power. In a game dominated by power-hitters and endurance, he was one of the few who banked on techniques to challenge his opponents. [Byte of Suveen Sinha, Business Standard] Federer has not played a single match in nearly 14 months. His last competitive appearance at Wimbledon in July 2021 was a quarter-final defeat. Yet in the twelve months leading to May 1st, 2022, the 41-year-old made an estimated $90 million before taxes and agents' fees. On Forbes' 2022 list of the world's highest-paid athletes, Federer took the seventh spot even though he won only about $700,000 in prize money during the period. While he was the world's highest-paid athlete on the 2020 list with a total of $106.3 million, he remained the highest-paid tennis player for 17 straight years. His on-court earnings through prize money since turning ‘pro' in 1998 totalled $130.5 million, the third in ATP Tour history, behind Djokovic and Nadal. However, Federer had no contest off the court. He made about $1 billion across his career through sponsorships, endorsements, appearance fees at tournaments and lucrative exhibition events. His career earnings total of $1.1 billion before taxes and agents' fees is more than double that of Nadal's $500 million and Djokovic's $470 million He is only one of seven athletes across sports to have surpassed $1 billion, while still active. When Federer described his sponsors as partners in his statement he did not mean it as a mere formality. Federer has an endorsement portfolio of 14 brands, half of whom have been sponsoring him for more than a decade. These include Mercedes-Benz, Credit Suisse, Rolex, Lindt and Wilson. His other sponsors include Uniqlo, Gillette, Barilla, NetJets, Rimova and Moët & Chandon. His biggest deal came in 2018 when he quit Nike to sign a 10-year $300 million contract with Japanese apparel brand Uniqlo. Nike had paid him $150 million over a two-decade period. Even as his on-court visibility fades, Federer can expect most of his sponsorships to continue into retirement. Few athletes have transcended their sport like Federer. But how did he earn the loyalty of his sponsors? N Chandramouli, CEO, TRA Research says, Federer's on-court composure is reflected in his personal life. He gives hope and brings enthusiasm to the game. Federer has made a lasting connection with fans. Federer has been long-planning for life after professional tennis. In 2013, he and his agent Tony Godsick co-founded player management agency Team8. The tennis legend is set to retire after next week's Laver Cup in London. The tournament, which became an official ATP event in 2019, is owned by Team8. In 2019, Federer invested in Swiss shoe brand On, which went public last September. His estimated 3% stake in the company is worth $200 million. His sharp business decision could one day make him the fourth athlete-billionaire after Michael Jordan, LeBron James and Tiger Woods.

Matt Wyrick, who is in the sixth year of his FAA career, all at Indianapolis Center (ZID), grew up immersed in aviation. His father, Allan, was a longtime pilot for NetJets. Wyrick said hypoxia came up in some discussions between them. That, along with his training, prepared him to successfully assist the pilot of a Cessna 441 Conquest II who was exhibiting signs of hypoxia while over south-central Ohio en route to Youngstown, Ohio, at 29,000 feet. For his efforts, Wyrick has been named the Great Lakes Region winner of the 2021 Archie League Medal of Safety Award, presented by the National Air Traffic Controllers Association. He will be honored on June 17 in New Orleans. Wyrick said he was honored and humbled by the award. “I was just there doing my job that day and I had a bunch of good people around me who were a huge part of the outcome. I really think the award is more a reflection of everybody I work with. I don't have a doubt in my mind that any one of the controllers in my area could have sat there and achieved the same outcome.”

Matt Liotta is the CEO and Founder of Volato, a fractional ownership company of private jets using Honda Jets and exceptional customer service. I was excited to speak with Matt about his, relatively, new fractional ownership private jet company after having two business owners that own private jets on the show. We talk about starting a new venture during the worldwide pandemic and how it affected their growth.Not surprisingly, Volato grew in customers, employees and planes during the past two years and Matt is excited about the future of Volato. They continue to add new Honda jets to their fleet while also acquiring existing private jet companies, Adding new airports across the country allows them to continue their company mantra of providing exceptional customer service.Obviously, private jet ownership is not possible for many business travelers but the ideas Matt shares about starting and running his company can apply to many different business models. While private jet usage might be a lofty goal, we might as well reach high and see where we land.Make sure to follow Matt and Volato on their social media pages to see the latest additions to their fleet and watch their growth.SUBSCRIBEYou can subscribe to The Travel Wins Podcast on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, YouTube, iHeart Radio, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Spreaker, Podnews, Castbox, Pocket Casts, Radio Public, and Amazon.The Travel Wins intro song by Allison Johnson and Steve StevensWebsite Design by Stack Host#volato #flyvolato #mattliotta

Ready For Takeoff - Turn Your Aviation Passion Into A Career
Margaret “Peggy” Dennis Carnahan is retired from the U.S. Air Force and currently a Captain for NetJets. Peggy is a member of the 1980 U.S. Air Force Academy Class, the first to graduate women! She rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, serving as an Air Force Instructor Pilot and Squadron Commander. Her awards include Air Training Command Master Instructor (1985) and Outstanding Young Women of America (1987). Peggy’s impressive bio is included at the end of this article. Being the first in anything is rarely easy. Each career path comes with its own set of challenges and the Air Force is no exception. Today Peggy is considered a trailblazer for women military aviators, but it almost didn’t come to be. Very early on in her career she began to realize obstacles she would need to overcome if she was going to have any success at all. We’re sharing Peggy’s story with our readers as a testament to what can be achieved if one is willing to break barriers, from within and without. Peggy, the sixth of seven children, grew up on a farm approximately 60 miles south of Chicago in a small town whose population was less than 3,000. Peggy was named after her grandmother Margaret, who passed away a few months before she was born. Her small town wasn’t big enough to have two “Margarets”, so she was given the nickname “Peggy”. Her father, an engineer and farmer, and her mother, a schoolteacher, set expectations for all of their children to attend college. Peggy’s brother who is five years older went to the Air Force Academy, and her sister, two years older than her, got a full Army ROTC scholarship to Arizona State. As Peggy was exploring her options, she spoke with the local insurance agent, who was her dad’s high-school friend. He was a Colonel in the Air Force Reserve and a local Liaison Officer. Peggy vividly remembers stopping by to see him on a Friday to pick up a letter of recommendation for an ROTC scholarship. He asked her to look at the Air Force Academy as on option, as President Ford had recently signed a law abolishing the all male tradition in military service academies. The only catch was that she needed to give him an answer by Monday! She was 17 years old, and as one might expect from the forward thinking of a 17 year old, she decided that it would be a good idea. Why not! Besides, she had the thought that mountains are prettier than cornfields! And, one of her male high-school classmates was going to attend as well. She would have an ally, though in reality she rarely saw him. Peggy struggled throughout her four years at the Air Force Academy, close to quitting several times. Eventually she realized she didn’t think beyond her decision to attend. Where were her four years going to take her? The Academy was challenging because of her mindset and lack of clarity. It took Peggy two years before she developed a mindset of “I want what this will give me; I want to be part of this group; I want these people to be my peers; I want to be one of them”. Today when she speaks with young people who are considering going into the Academy, she encourages them to consider what it will give them, and what their other options don’t, and to be sure that they want it! When Peggy entered the Academy, she knew she was there because the initiative of having women was mandated by Congress, but hadn’t spent much time thinking about what she wanted from her time spent there – what her future would look like. Flying was not an option when she entered; there were no female pilots at the time. The Air Force was just starting to test that possibility. Looking back, Peggy realized that she was presented with an opportunity, and to fully benefit from this, she had to be willing to want what they had to offer and to get through it! The whole emphasis in the Academy is teamwork. The basic training premise is to make the individual go away and build cadets back up as a member of a team where they are all the same. Competing against each other is a great way to fail. You can’t get through there by yourself. You do it as a team. You do it as a military unit. You have to take care of your roommate, you have to take care of people in your squadron, and you work together as a team. Because if you try to make it as an individual, you’re not going to make it. Peggy was in awe with the other women. Coming from a fairly sheltered small town, she didn’t even have girl’s sports in high school until her sophomore or junior year and then they had no uniforms. The girls had to buy their own t-shirts and use masking tape to make numbers to create their own uniforms. Coming from that kind of environment, she met other women who were playing soccer since they were six years old. Peggy was astounded with the other women’s backgrounds and talents. She was surrounded by superstars and found it eye-opening and humbling! Peggy’s roommate in her upper class years was Gwen Knuckles, the daughter of an Air Force Master Sergeant. She had traveled the world and lived overseas, a very different upbringing from Peggy. But that was not the only difference in the two women. While Peggy continued to struggle, Gwen was excelling and enjoying her time in the Academy. Gwen was bound and determined she was going to medical school. Her focus and positive outlook had a huge influence and impact on Peggy’s own focus and looking ahead to the future, in terms of where she was going and what she was going to do. In Peggy’s words, “She was a lifesaver for me.” In retrospect, Peggy realized that Gwen wanted to be there, did not complain, knew why she was there and where the Academy was going to get her, was clear on what she wanted to do, and more than anything, had a positive attitude. From that point forward, Peggy began looking at the positive side of things, and gravitated towards people with positive energy. Gwen would go on to medical school and serve as a doctor in the Air Force. Peggy went into the Air Force flight school and began the next phase of her career – pilot training. At the time, there was a pilot shortage and women could officially go to pilot training, it was no longer a test program. There were only 26 women who were pilot qualified in her class, and they were still pretty much considered an oddity! Another factor in Peggy’s decision to go to pilot training was that her older brother did his pilot training five years earlier, and she wanted to show him that she could do it! Once in pilot training, Peggy’s mindset was one of determination and she knew what she had to do. She knew it would require a lot of work, concentration, and studying. And she was determined that if she didn’t make it, it wasn’t going to be for lack of effort on her part! She was not going to fail because she didn’t work hard enough. Positive mindset and focus! Peggy became the dedicated disciplined student she could have been previously, asking herself, “What can I really do?” She made sure she had set study time, sleep time, etc., making sure she did her part to ensure a successful outcome. And, in her words, “It turned out that I was actually kind of good at it and that I enjoyed it!” Peggy realized that the Air Force airplane recognizes talent. It doesn’t care who you are; it just cares about the skills of the pilot that has the controls. Peggy excelled in pilot training and stayed on as an instructor. The program has changed quite a bit since then with technology and new aircraft. Then, it was a two-phase program where she flew T-37 for about six months and then flew the T-38 twin-engine tandem seat supersonic jet, which is still in use for pilot training. One of the reasons Peggy wanted to remain as an instructor was because she felt strongly that the military would open up combat aircraft to women. And in 1993 Congress repealed the Combat Exclusion Law, but it took another year for the Air Force to allow women into combat cockpits. By that time, Peggy was considered too close to her retirement for the Air Force to consider her a candidate. Up until that point, the Air Force had severely restricted opportunities for women to have orientation flights in fighter aircraft. Peggy noted that this restriction significantly hampered her ability to counsel future pilots on career choices. When a four-star General visited her base and stated that he wanted more fighter pilots, Peggy asked, “If you want me to convince people to become fighter pilots, why am I not allowed to learn what that entails?” Right then and there, the General turned to the Colonel and said “Make it happen!” Additionally, when women started looking for other ways to move their careers, Eileen Collins, the first woman to command a space shuttle, was the only female T-38 instructor on Peggy’s base, and Peggy was there! Greatest Obstacles Peggy’s positive attitude has served her well, through a great career in aviation. One of the biggest obstacles she had to overcome was her own mindset. When she began, she didn’t think she was capable of some things, didn’t think she was good enough, didn’t think she had the potential, and would sell herself short. Additionally, she was raised thinking her options were to become a schoolteacher, nurse, or secretary. Peggy really shifted her trajectory with pilot training, where she decided she was going to put in her full effort and be as good as she could be. She knew she would either make it or not, and that it was up to her. She eliminated the thought that had crossed her mind many times – the thought that she is a woman and shouldn’t be there. Peggy shifted that by telling herself that she had every right to be there; every right to be like the others who were there. If she was not good enough it was not going to be because of her gender. Today, when Peggy looks back she realizes the societal changes and how opportunities have progressed for women. The mindset of women had also changed in how they view themselves, and women still have a ways to go. It takes several generations. Peggy’s insights and perceptual filter shifts inspire and empower those following in her footsteps. She has trained many cadets and has helped them with their mindset – they are worthy and can be a great contributor to the Air Force, even if they are not the best graduate in their Academy class. She did it, and they can do it too! Peggy would not change a thing from her past experiences. They have all contributed to where she is today, and she is happy where she is. Peggy’s guiding philosophy: “Stay optimistic; then your eyes stay open to opportunities. You’ll see the positive in the opportunities, and it’s up to you to act on it. You’re the one responsible.” “People can see and feel a positive attitude.” She shared the following from Colin Powell leadership lessons: “Optimism is a force multiplier.” Peggy overcame obstacles and shifted her mindset to a positive one, and as a result, became a pilot trainer pioneer to pave the path for other women to have an opportunity to fly military aircraft for their country and is considered a “warrior” for women and their advancement. Additionally, because of her positive attitude, she has had incredible opportunities to witness some important events in history, such as the awarding of the Congressional Gold Medal to the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP), her mentors. In the course of her military and commercial flying careers, she has had the opportunity to brush shoulders with aviation legends such as General Chuck Yeager, as well as notable persons in the worlds of politics and entertainment.
In this episode, our guest is James Onieal who has a wide variety of pilot experience from flight instructing at Embry Riddle, flying turbo-props at Colgan Air, Embraers 170s at Republic as well as being the youngest pilot hired and subsequently furloughed from Netjets.

Ready For Takeoff - Turn Your Aviation Passion Into A Career
Furloughs in the airline industry are forcing pilots to find new work in other aspects of aviation, including flying privately-owned aircraft. Private aviation is in the midst of an expansion that's seeing aircraft operators invest in more planes to bring in a new market of first-time private flyers who are abandoning first class thanks to the pandemic. A fleet of new planes requires more pilots to fly them and as the airlines contract during the downturn, private firms are looking to hire former airline pilots with plenty of experience. It may seem like an easy transition since flying a plane is the same whether it be for an airliner or private charter company, but the workload and lifestyle couldn't be any more different. Instead of flying a plane full of passengers, a private aviation pilot caters solely to the wealthy and powerful, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. It's a challenging job that requires a pilot to go above and beyond, at times, according to Sean Scialfa, a 31-year airline pilot who has spent time on both sides of the industry. Unlike the airlines, private aircraft pilots deal with problems head-on and face to face instead of from behind a locked cockpit door and through a public announcement system. Here's how flying private aircraft is different than flying for the airlines. 1. Wearing many hats Pilots on this side of the industry are very much the face of the operation and frequently interact with guests, which is why private aviation CEOs look for pilots with personality and a customer-service oriented attitude. It's not a job where pilots can show up a few minutes before boarding and not speak to a passenger the entire flight. When an airline pilot shows up at the airport, the expectation is not to greet passengers in the gate area before a flight, scan their tickets, and load their bags for them. All that is done by the army of support staff that airlines employ to service any given flight. But those tasks are routinely performed by a private aircraft pilot who typically arrives at the airport about an hour before their flight to prep the aircraft, which can include getting it fueled, stocked, catered, and cleaned. Once the passengers arrive at the plane, it's the pilot's responsibility to cross-check their identification with the manifest, load their bags, and even give the safety briefing if there is no cabin attendant for that flight. 2. The cockpit door is always open Access to the cockpit on a commercial airliner became highly restricted after September 11, 2001. Cockpit doors were reinforced and locked to prevent any undue entry and only opened if the crew needed to use the restroom or receive their meals with no passenger access to the flight deck on most flights. On the private side, however, the cockpit doors are normally left open. Passengers can see everything that's going on and come visit during the flight. Some private aircraft don't even have cockpit doors with most light and propeller aircraft, namely, having open environments and little to no boundaries between the passenger cabin and cockpit. The problem isn't the threat of a hijacking with these aircraft but passengers having direct contact with pilots can lead to stressful or pressure-filled situations that could make pilots behave differently. For example, if an aircraft was late to arrive at an airport that is dangerous to access at night, Scialfa said, being pressured by passengers could lead to the pilot to make a fatal mistake by giving in instead of making the safe choice. 3. A different lifestyle, for better or worse The wealthy often go to extremes when they travel and often visit exclusive and exciting locales that may make a pilot's life seem like one long vacation in between flights. Holiday weekends in the winter, for example, can see pilots flying to Aspen, Colorado; Jackson Hole, Wyoming; or Sun Valley, Idaho, then off to Europe or South America for weeks at a time in the summer. But that lifestyle also means being away from home for long stretches, more so than at the airlines. Pilots working for a charter operation can be on-call or on the road for weeks at a time. Airlines trips are typically only a few days, with periods of time off in between, but private aircraft pilots often have a certain number of weeks on-call followed by hard days off. According to Scialfa, pilots that can't keep up with that lifestyle will often ask themselves: "Is this better than working in Home Depot, or is it not?" 4. Living local Private aircraft pilots often have to live within a certain radius of their home airport since flights can pop-up at a moment's notice, especially with on-demand charter flights. Some companies require pilots to live less than 90 minutes from the airport to be able to pick up what is known as an "ASAP" trip while some will allow commutes upwards of three hours. Airline pilots don't need to live near the airports out of which they're based and will fly in and out around their work schedule. A New York City-based American Airlines pilot can live in Los Angeles, for example, and commute the day before the first flight of his trip and back as soon as he lands back in New York since pilots are given flight benefits on nearly any commercial airline. "With the airlines, you know, you're not going to be gone for more than four to six days," said Scialfa. "And then, depending on where you live, you drive home or you jump in an airplane and commute to Ohio or wherever you may live." 5. Arriving early and leaving late Private aircraft pilots are often required to arrive at the airport at least an hour before every flight to allow enough time to prepare for passenger arrival. During this time, the pilot will order fuel for the plane, perform pre-flight procedures, file the flight plan, check the route weather, stage the catering order if one was placed, and await passenger arrival, according to Scialfa. Once the aircraft has arrived, the pilot has to stick around the button up the plane by checking the cabin for any issues, removing any trash, inspecting the exterior, and sometimes placing coverings on the engines and important gauges. If the plane is leaving early the next morning for a flight, the pilot will often stick around to see it fueled and ready to go for the early departure. Airline pilots often show up a few minutes before boarding and perform all of the pre-flight checks while passengers are getting on the plane. But wealthy passengers expect to depart as soon as they arrive so that isn't an option on a private aircraft. 6. Moving to a smaller pond Private aircraft operators are often family-like environments where all the pilots know each other and can fly in pairs based on experience. The same two pilots can be paired together for months at a time, especially if both assigned to the same owner, so there's less variety when it comes to the cockpit crew. That also applies to the passengers with repeat-business very common in the private aviation world, especially with the owner of the aircraft. Pilots have to maintain relationships with passengers they fly as it will directly influence whether they fly with that company or flight crew again. 8. Making the most out of a bad situation Private aircraft often have more flexibility in getting passengers from point A to B than airliners do thanks to the unscheduled nature of the business. If bad weather delays all flights into New York, for example, a pilot can file a flight plan for Boston and then request a diversion in mid-air since it's less likely to be turned down or directly ask passengers if they want to leave earlier to beat the storm. And not all aircraft need to follow flight plans, with smaller aircraft often operating under visual flight rules restrictions that allow them to fly more direct routes and avoid certain types of delays. It's often done with shorter flights since visual flight rules can only be used under 18,000 feet. Pilots can also depart under those rules to avoid ground delays with instrument flight plans and then request clearance to pick up a normal flight plan once they depart. 9. Working the holidays To paraphrase the famous saying, private aircraft pilots follow the calendar of the elites. That means more trips over the holidays and especially long holiday weekends when the kids are off from school or when the office is closed. The Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday periods, as well as the Fourth of July, are peak travel times. Some companies will allow pilots to fly home between flights but it's at the discretion of the company. 10. Max duty days The longest workday for a private aircraft pilot is 14 hours and passengers will often seek to make the most of that timeframe. Early morning flights and late-night returns are very common and can occur back to back with only as little as 10 hours of rest in between. Private aviation executives are predicting more day trips for business travelers as they seek to reduce exposure while on the road. 11. A more relaxed environment Pilots coming from the airlines may be taken aback by the informal nature of private flying, according to Scialfa, especially when it comes to executing procedures. Airlines have a more regimented training program while the private side may not be as stringent, with multiple ways to accomplish a task in the latter compared to only one way in the former, according to Scialfa. "It's hard for an airline guy to go, 'what do you mean there's three different ways to do that?'" Scialfa said.

Peter Feigin brings more than two decades of dynamic corporate leadership to Milwaukee's sports and entertainment scene. His talents, hard work, and dedication are the driving force behind the transformational vision for not only the Milwaukee Bucks and the new world-class Fiserv Forum, but for the city of Milwaukee and the state of Wisconsin. Since taking over as president of the team in October of 2014, Peter has completely reimagined, rebuilt, and reenergized the team's business operations, resulting in substantial increases in attendance, ticket revenue, merchandise revenue, partnership sales, and TV viewership. He has assembled a top-flight management team and has nurtured a corporate culture marked by accountability, collaboration, and fun. The Bucks were named one of Milwaukee's best places to work in 2015-2019 and Peter's inspired leadership was recognized when he was named the Milwaukee BizTimes 2015 CEO of the Year. Prior to joining the Bucks, Peter served as the Chief Marketing and Revenue Officer of Deluxe Entertainment Services Group, a major international entertainment company, where he managed global business units and handled branding and business development. Before working at Deluxe, Peter was the President and Chief Operating Officer of Marquis Jet Partners Inc./NetJets, the world's leading private aviation company. Peter was integral in Berkshire Hathaway's NetJets acquisition of Marquis Jet in 2010 and played a central role in the integration of the two companies. After transitioning post-merger to the same responsibilities at NetJets, he led the company to significant revenue growth. From 1998 to 2004, Peter worked for the New York Knicks in a variety of roles culminating in his position as Vice President of Marketing. Under Peter's leadership, profits, season subscriptions, and suite revenues increased significantly. From 1993 to 1998, he held sales and marketing positions with Six Flags Theme Parks, which was then a Time Warner company.

Tips on becoming a fractional CMO with Skip Fidura Every day I look at what value have I added, and both immediate value and potential long-term value. As the fractional CMO, I'm a member of the team. I've got a company ID, I've got my key fob, I've got an email address. I make sure I go through the staff induction. One of the things that I discovered really early on is you very quickly start talking in the first person, the first-person plural if you're a real pedant. It's all about us and us. It's not about you. I know working remotely is all trendy and lots of people love it, and I'm one of those people who love it. I love that kind of flexibility. But there's nothing to replace actual face-to-face time. I think we will start to see more fractional people and for a wide variety of reasons. One, the nature of business is changing and there are a lot more small companies. And the other thing is it's great. From my perspective, it's great. The flexibility is fantastic. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ SHARE THIS POST: TIPS ON BECOMING A FRACTIONAL CMO [just click to tweet] TIPS ON BECOMING A FRACTIONAL CMO As the fractional CMO, I'm a member of the team.

Today in the studio, I've got joining me Skip Fidura. Now I met Skip through the Only Influencers email marketing group. Skip is a speaker, he is an author, and he's a board-level marketer and he works with both the B2C and B2B in a variety of industries. He has a deep technical background. Doug Morneau: Skip recently was working with a company called Dotmailer. He was there for about nine years, and now he's working as a fractional CMO. So he offers companies the ability to get a piece of his deep knowledge and experience in digital marketing, email marketing, SEO, social marketing, as well as integrated marketing. So I'd like to welcome Skip to the Real Marketing Real Fast podcast today. Doug Morneau: Well, hey, Skip. Welcome to the Real Marketing Real Fast podcast today. How are you? Skip Fidura: I'm great, Doug. Thanks for having me. Doug Morneau: Super excited to have you on the podcast today and show off your superpower so you can ... by the end of the podcast, all our listeners will have all their sales and marketing problems solved. That's amazing. Skip Fidura: Okay. You've just set the bar really high. Doug Morneau: Well, I asked you what your superpower was, and you said before we started recording that you were going to actually fly. That was your superpower. And I didn't think that would work well on the podcast being it's not visual. So we thought we'd come up with something a little simpler. Skip Fidura: I like it. I like it. Yeah. Flying is not good for the radio. Doug Morneau: No. Although someone did tell me that I look good as a podcast, I have a face for podcasting, not necessarily broadcast. So you work where you're planted. Skip Fidura: Yeah. I disagree. I think you're a fine-looking man. Doug Morneau: Well, thanks so much. So let's get into it. We connected through the Only Influencers group, and you are a marketing professional speaker, author, and expert. And one of the conversations that we had was around your role now as a fractional CMO. So do you want to take just a couple of minutes and give people a snapshot of your background and what you're doing? Skip Fidura: Yeah, I would actually. That's great. So a fractional CMO, fractional is really just part-time rebranded. So as proper CMOs should, the first thing I did was a rebrand. And I work with companies that need a senior marketing leader, but can't afford one full time. The way I describe it is to think of me as the NetJets for CMOs.

In this episode, Bryghtpath Principal & Chief Executive Bryan Strawser walks through the new Bryghtpath Global Security Framework. You could also call it a corporate security framework if that's the frame of reference you prefer to use. During Bryan's career, he spent over 21 years working as a part of the Global Security Team for a Fortune 30 organization, ultimately spending the last six years leading that organization's business continuity, crisis management, and global intelligence function. But Bryan also spent a lot of time working in and supporting different parts of the global security organization. This framework came about after working with a client here in Minnesota who was working to establish a global security capability and happened to ask us where they should start. We put this framework together from our standpoint representing "Here's our view of how we would think about building a global security program."

This is Bryan Strawser, Principal and CEO here at Bryghtpath. In this week's episode, we'd like to walk through our new framework for a global security program, or you could call it a corporate security framework if that's kind of the frame of reference that you prefer to use. During my career, I spent, prior to founding Bryghtpath, I spent about 21 years working on a global security team for a Fortune 30 organization, ultimately spending about six years leading that company's business continuity, crisis management, disaster recovery, and global intelligence function, but I had a lot of experience working and supporting different parts of the global security business. Not too long ago, we were working with a client here in the Twin Cities, who was trying to stand up the global security capability, and so we built this framework from our standpoint kind of representing, "Here's our view of how we should think about building a global security program." Let's take a look at this. Bryan Strawser: Of course, if you go to the episode page, you're able to download our Global Security framework as a graphic and able to kind of follow along as we take a look at how to do this. Starting on the left, the first category for a Global Security framework is physical security capability, and we really think about this and investigations, which is the second category here. We really think about these as being the principal, kind of foundational starting place for a Global Security framework, the ability to secure facilities in order to keep people and assets safe, and then second, the ability to investigate things that are happening that are outside the norm or that might be criminal in nature that affects the integrity of the organization. With physical security, we start with the priorities, the life safety of employees, a workplace violence prevention program, so, "How do we prevent workplace violence through training and policies, and things along those lines?" The third is threat management. Bryan Strawser: Once we've had an incident of a threat reported internally, externally, social media, email, how does that get handled? What's the threat management program? How is the threat triaged, and then if necessary, formally assessed, and then plans put into place? You can look at, or listen to our previous episodes on Workplace Violence and Threat Management Frameworks, and risk factors and escalations for ideas and more of a deep dive into that area. The fourth area under physical security is planning and design, so this is for new or remodel facilities, but what is the application of crime prevention through environmental design? Bryan Strawser: How are we planning these facilities with security requirements in mind from the beginning, et cetera? Access control. What is the approach to securing access to the facilities? This could be key control. It could be a card access system. It could be biometrics, but what is the program, the official program for maintaining and controlling access to the facility? Bryan Strawser: Next, the security presence. What's the visible security presence, whether that's security officers, plainclothes security individuals, armed security, robots or video analytics, or other things that are clearly visible that create that security presence that deters crime and kind of reinforces the right behavior? Then lastly, in physical security, just culture, and awareness, culture in terms of, "What's the culture around following the security controls that have been put into place?", and awareness around, "How is security communicating what they're doing? What kind of material is out there, intranet, digital, internal social media, external social media, posters and things like that, that help drive awareness of the security program?" That's physical security to us, one of the two major foundational elements of a global security strategy and program. Bryan Strawser: The second is investigations, the ability to investigate something that is abnormal, or something that is wrong, or something that has been reported. The first area is just investigative policies. "What are the roles and responsibilities within the organization? How are investigations conducted? What are the ground rules around that?" Bryan Strawser: The second is we expect the investigative capability of a global security team to be independent, independent in that although at the end of the day, we all have a boss, but independent in that they are driven by the security organization who also only reports to a Senior Executive, and the investigators are able to investigate with a high degree of independence. That doesn't mean they're not talking with lawyers, internal or external to the organization. It doesn't mean that they aren't taking direction, but it does mean that they're able to follow the investigation where the investigation leads. The third area here in investigations is just, "What are the investigative capabilities and technologies? Do they have the tools or case management systems or other things that they need?" Bryan Strawser: The next area in investigations is compliance and investigations around our major anti-bribery laws and our major anti-terrorism laws. This is the OFAC regulations, the Office of Foreign Asset Compliance, where we're verifying that we're not doing business with third-parties that U.S. companies are prohibited from doing business with. Then, paired with that, the FCPA, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, where we're validating that our organization is not bribing individuals in foreign governments or in foreign countries in order to do business. Next is exception reporting. "What's available to the investigation's function in order to detect and find exceptional behavior?" Bryan Strawser: By exceptional, I mean abnormal things that stand out, and they may be legit and not criminal in nature and not impacting the integrity of the organization, but there's reports that allows us to see exceptions and allows investigations to commence investigators to dig deeper into those exceptions. Then lastly, that your organization has an integrity or a reporting hotline, an integrity hotline or a reporting hotline, something that allows them or allows employees, and vendors, and parts of your supply chain and others to report unethical behavior, and that those hotline reports are then investigated and sent to the right unit within the organization to follow up on. Someone can call the integrity hotline for a sexual harassment issue that probably goes to HR, or employment relations attorneys or something like that, but something of a security nature should come to the security team for a follow-up investigation. Physical security and investigations, that's kind of our foundation for our Global Security framework. In the next section, we start dealing with crisis management. It is the first category. Bryan Strawser: Here, do we have a crisis management program? Do we have a defined crisis management team? Have we built a defined escalation process and a crisis management framework that allows for decisions to be made through a collaborative process, and then communicating the results of those decisions? To us, those three things are where we start. We have a defined crisis team with clear roles and responsibilities, we have a process to escalate things to that team, and for them to communicate upwards to executives into the board if that's applicable, and then we have a framework on how to collaborate and make decisions and communicate the results of those decisions. Once those things are in place, then we look for a specific scenario, a crisis planning. Bryan Strawser: "What are the top 10, 12, 15, 20 risk-based scenarios that we need to have specific plan annexes for?" Sometimes we build, think of something called a playbook that has all of this kind of laid out. Here's our crisis playbook, and now we're going to execute upon the things in that. Then lastly, that we have a good process, crisis management process for simulations and exercises. The next bucket is travel safety and security. This isn't always applicable to organizations, but if you are traveling, and particularly, if your employees are traveling internationally to higher-risk locations than where you're typically doing business, you probably need some element of a travel safety and security program. Bryan Strawser: It starts with a legal concept around duty to care that you are planning and making life safety and safety, and the security of your employees is important to your organization. Travel safety and security starts with the duty to care, but it moves relatively quickly into travel policies like, "What are the travel policies? Are we looking at the risk of countries, or cities, or regions that employees are traveling to, and that we understand that there is a process in place in order to restrict travel and put some guidelines in place to ensure the safety and security of our travelers?" For example, in my previous employer, we had a country risk assessment process and a travel security council. Through that travel security council, we could bar travel to certain countries or certain regions because they were not safe for folks to go to in our opinion, but again, this varies by organization. Bryan Strawser: We then look for companies to risk rate, countries whether you're working with a company like International SOS or Control Risks group to use their country risk ratings or you're doing something internally. Then, we look for monitoring for major events that are happening near where your travelers are at or where they're going. We talk about this intelligence monitoring, but it pairs closely with a travel tracking capability where you have the ability to see where your employees are at, and you're able to see the events around them that might create risk. For example, a few years ago, one of our clients, there was an Active Shooter event going on in Germany, and one of our clients, his Chief Financial Officer was there actually within about half of a kilometer of where the event was going on. We knew that he was there. Bryan Strawser: We had a travel tracking capability. We were able to quickly make contact with him and get him to a safe location, and then we're able to evacuate him safely back to his hotel. That's the kind of travel tracking an event or intelligence monitoring that you really need to have in place. Then lastly, for travelers internationally, you're going to want to have third-party medical and security support for when these events do happen or when someone gets sick. Particularly, in some parts of the world, you need a vetted medical provider or access to vetted medical providers. Bryan Strawser: You do not want your folks just walking up to the nearest hospital or clinic because you will wind up having folks in places that are perhaps not safe and where they're not getting the level of care that you're going to want them to have. That's travel safety and security. The next area talks about partnerships, and here, we're looking at, "What are the Public-Private Partnerships for an organization and their connectivity with the global security team?" We have these in several areas, and where your prioritize here would really depend upon the maturity of your organization and where you're operating and what those risks are, but some of the partnerships we should look at are with emergency management agencies, and you have these typically local county, state, and then federal across the United States, and other countries are somewhat similar to this. Some countries only have this at a national level. Bryan Strawser: Law enforcement, "What is your relationship with local law enforcement and law enforcement at different levels that may impact the business that you're in?" If you are operating, if you're a significant global operator, you will want to have partnerships with the intelligence community. You can look at the Public-Private Partnership programs at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence or through the state departments, Overseas Security Advisory Council, or through the FBI's Domestic Security Alliance Council, or for smaller organizations, FBI's InfraGard, but are you getting access to the information that you need to make sure that you're making the right moves as an organization to secure your business and protect your team? You also have the opportunity to interact with peers, so this is a kind of industry connectivity through your trade groups or local, regional and state Chambers of Commerce. Then, in a really mature organization, we would look to see a public-private sector strategy and evidence of collaboration, that there's a deliberate strategic effort to build partnerships with public sector agencies where the company has something to gain in terms of information and insight, perhaps an early look at some things, and the public sector agency gains from the company's expertise and information about what's going on. Bryan Strawser: The next category here is executive and event security. We lump these together because we typically see the same leader have responsibility for both, but in a large enough organization, this is about protecting your senior executives, perhaps at home, perhaps in travel, perhaps only at company events, perhaps it's 24/7. This depends on your organization. The second part here is just major events planning, large company meetings, shareholder meetings, big vendor, financial community presentations. These are all possibilities of things that need to be planned, and then managed, and it requires a little different level of care, which is why we often see this aligned with executive protection. Bryan Strawser: Then lastly, corporate aviation, perhaps you own or lease aircraft and operate them yourselves, or perhaps you have some kind of agreement with a company like NetJets or Flight Options or something else, but just the management of the security aspects of your corporate aviation unit, we would see that program falling into this area. The next category is an operation center or a GSOC, a Global Security Operations Center or just a SOC, a Security Operations Center. In a Global Security program, we look to see the operations centers set up as a single source of truth. They're a trusted part of the organization that's communicating what's going on. They have a lot of information flowing in, and then they're pushing out to communication that is relevant and timely and impactful and provides a good overview from a situational awareness standpoint of what's going on. Bryan Strawser: In large organizations, GSOC centers like this run 24/7. They're actively monitoring a number of things going on around the country and world. They're likely the starting point for an incident management process that then escalates into a crisis management or crisis leadership process, and we see a GSOC is being a really core to that, that they're monitoring what's going on. They're kind of at the base of that crisis leadership process, even though you may have a crisis management team that comes in and does more as things go on. We also see GSOCs as being a place for centralized security operations. Bryan Strawser: They may be dispatching security officers. They may be responding to a ShotSpotter alert and things along those lines. Then, getting to the far right of our framework graphic, we see an intelligence program as an important part of a Global Security framework, particularly in a more mature organization. We typically see kind of three categories of intelligence, and then kind of a foundational element here with intelligence. The first is geopolitical intelligence, like, "What's going on around the world that may have an impact on us?", looking at major events that are playing out Bryan Strawser: May go as far as to look at just politics. I mean, as we're recording this in September 2019, there are major political earthquakes going on in Great Britain, in the United Kingdom around Brexit. There's a lot of things happening with that. There's a lot of instability that's being generated through the Brexit process in the U.K. and in London. There have been protests with thousands of people. Bryan Strawser: If you operate in the U.K. or you have U.K. companies in your supply chain, or this is your next expansion market, then this geopolitical intelligence on what's going on over there could be important to you. If you don't, it probably has nothing to do with you. That's a domain, an intelligence domain that could or couldn't be important, depending upon your business. The second area for intel is corporate and reputational intelligence that we're looking for information and intelligence that may impact our reputation. We might see an inbound threat on our intel radar screen so to speak, where an executive make a misstatement in the media, and now this is coming back at us on Twitter and gaining steam in terms of the story. Bryan Strawser: The third category is cyber intelligence. Here, we're looking at kind of a whole cyber threat picture. This may not belong in a global security team. It could be cyber intelligence is being managed by your cybersecurity organization or by your CSO, but we often find the intel component in global security. Then lastly, kind of a foundational element here is just public private partnerships in the intelligence community about your connectivity between your intel team if you have one internally and the intelligence community through some of the sources that we've mentioned before. Bryan Strawser: Then, our last category here on the Global Security framework is the supply chain. First, we're looking at end-to-end supply chain security from the dock, at your vendor's warehouse, all the way until it shows up at your organization. "What's the security of that supply chain? Who are you dependent upon to make that supply chain secure along the way?" This could be your ocean carriers. Bryan Strawser: It could be air freight. It could be big common carriers like UPS and DHL, FedEx and others. Second is just a supply chain reputation. "Are you sourcing responsively from vendors that are not going to compromise the integrity of your organization?" Sometimes that requires an investigative capability to really dig into that, or perhaps you're purchasing that information through a third-party. Bryan Strawser: There's the investigative capability within your supply chain, so if you got a truck that gets hijacked in Guatemala and it's got your product onboard, how are you going to investigate that, and do you have any loss to begin with, and then how are you going to investigate it? Do you have access to the experts that can assist with an investigation at a location like that?" Then lastly, there's the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism or CTPAT, that allows you access to the priority lanes in the U.S. ports because you're following the requirements of the CTPAT program, which are a much greater level of security of your supply chain shipments and the integrity of your suppliers and such than a normal run-of-the-mill oceangoing or air freight shipment. That's our Global Security framework. Again, we laid this out as our view of what a global security program should look like. We left out some foundational things like budgeting and IT capabilities and some of the things that are going to kind of be there as the foundation of any organization, but they're the same ... Bryan Strawser: Those are really the same across different functions of a company, not just unique to global security, but this is our view of things companies should think about in terms of the elements of a global security program. Again, you can go to our page for this episode and download the Global Security framework, and then you get a nice, pretty PDF that you can follow along with as you listen to the episode or use it for other purposes as things go along. That's it for this episode of the Managing Uncertainty Podcast. We'll be back next week with another new episode. Thanks for listening.

REVISIT: Colin Cowie is a top designer for all things weddings—as well as galas, charitable events, corporate and destination celebrations. He's beloved by the likes of Oprah, Jerry Seinfeld, Elton John, Michael Jordan, Bruce Willis, Jennifer Aniston, and countless other A-list celebrities. Ever since Colin arrived in Los Angeles from Kitzwe, Zambia at the height of apartheid in 1985, his professional life has soared. While teaching cooking lessons at age 23, he met a woman whose chance encounter soon led to his first wedding assignment for a local bachelor: Hugh Hefner. Thirty-one years of parties, weddings, and multi-day events later, he’s never created the same event twice. The degree to which Colin cares for and personalizes his work is not just unmatched, it's nearly indescribable, and precisely why he’s consistently relied upon by the most discerning of clientele. He learns everything there is to know about his clients, over hors-d'oeuvres and champagne, until the event he crafts (and the journey on which he takes his clients to get there) is not just perfectly tailored, but permanently unique. When he isn't designing weddings and Fortune 500 parties, Oprah Winfrey’s Legends Ball or Guinness Book of World Records-breaking pyrotechnic shows abroad, Colin works as "creator-director" for elite brands like NetJets, Dom Pérignon, and Bergdorf Goodman; even private islands. Idyllic as Colin’s life may sound, and so often is, he and Andy extend their conversation today beyond the exclusive glamour of the luxury events industry to the unseen challenges once faced in the midst of the great recession, Colin's daily routines (from meditation and "I am" statements to nightcaps), professional strategies, and the critical value of humility and gratitude.

Diese Woche geht es in den 99 Sekunden Sportbusiness kompakt von und mit Prof. Dr. Gerhard Nowak von der IST-Hochschule um folgende Themen: Anwohner wollen David Beckham nicht, Gewerkschaft streikt gegen Ronaldo und Angelique Kerber mit Privat-Jet David Beckham ist mit seinen Plänen für den Bau eines Fußball-Stadions in Miami erneut auf Widerstand gestoßen. Der ehemalige englische Nationalspieler will eine Arena für 25.000 Zuschauer sowie ein Hotel und ein Einkaufszentrum errichten. Das jetzige Gelände grenzt an den Flughafen von Miami und gehört der öffentlichen Hand. Der Stadtrat will nun die Bevölkerung darüber abstimmen lassen, ob öffentliche Grundstücke auch an Privatinvestoren verkauft werden dürfen. Bereits 2013 scheiterte Beckham am Widerstand der Anwohner für eine Arena in Downtown Miami. Die Ablösesumme für Cristiano Ronaldo beläuft sich laut Angaben von Juventus Turin auf 112 Millionen Euro. Zudem soll der amtierende Weltfußballer über vier Jahre 120 Millionen Euro Nettogehalt verdienen. Wie Medien weiter berichten, beteiligt sich Fiat mit insgesamt mindestens 30 Millionen Euro an den Zahlungen für Ronaldo. Daher rief die italienische Gewerkschaft USB die Fiat-Mitarbeiter zu einem zweitägigen Streik im Fiat-Werkt Melfi auf. USB fordert vom Automobilhersteller, statt in Transfers von Fußballern, in die Produktion von Autos zu investieren, um dadurch Arbeitsplätze zu sichern. Wimbledon-Siegerin Angelique Kerber schloss kurz vor ihrem Grand-Slam-Sieg eine Partnerschaft mit der US-Firma NetJets. Diese Privatfluggesellschaft ermöglicht es ihr, jederzeit durch die Welt geflogen zu werden; 24 Stunden am Tag, sieben Tage die Woche. Wenn es mal schnell gehen muss, steht ihr innerhalb von zehn Stunden ein Business-Jet zur Verfügung. Egal wo sie auf der Welt ist. Roger Federer und Maria Sharapova sind bereits Partner von NetJets.

About a week ago, I was up late at night indulging in one of my favorites vices. YouTube. As I made my way through the plethora of cute cat videos, angry political rants, and jaw-dropping montages of people doing awesome things, I came across a 3-minute video from Gary Vaynerchuk. A video that, I believe, has the power to change thousands of lives. As I watched this video over and over again, it made me realize something. Despite that fact that everything he touches seems to turn to gold (and hundreds of millions of dollars), the “King of Crush IT” is just a normal human being like you and me. Sure, he's a social media giant, marketing guru, entrepreneur extraordinaire, and pathological hustler. But it's pretty clear when you watch videos like this one that Gary is not a freak of nature or some sort of anomalous human being with superpowers that we mere mortals can only hope to possess. He's just a normal everyday dude who understands exactly how the game is played. Tony Robbins, world famous high performance coach and success expert has made a fortune meeting, dissecting, and explaining top performers, and as he says, “Success leaves clues”. In today's article, I'm going to dive into many of the “Clues” that Gary has left over the course of his almost three decade long entrepreneurial journey. While you might not like everything that you hear, I can promise you that if you are willing to pay attention, be humble, and learn from one of the best in the world, you can put yourself in a position where success becomes all but inevitable. Sound like a plan? Good. Let's dive in. Gary's Story in a Nutshell For those of you who aren't familiar with Gary Vaynerchuk or his story, here's a (very) condensed synopsis so that you understand why you should care about his tips for success. Born November 14, 1975 (a good Scorpio) in Babruysk, BSSR, Soviet Union. Moved to the US at age three, living with 8 other family members in a studio apartment in Queens, New York. The family then moved to Edison, New Jersey. Growing up, Gary had a lemonade-stand franchise. He also made thousands of dollars trading baseball cards on weekends. Joined his family's retail liquor business at age 14. Took control in 1999 after graduating Mount Ida College with a bachelor's degree. Changed the name from Shopper's Discount Liquors to Wine Library. By 2005, he had taken the business online and annual sales catapulted from $3 million to over $50 million. Started Wine Library TV on YouTube in 2006. It went viral with daily wine reviews, tastings, and advice. He retired from video blogging in 2011. Started VaynerMedia in 2009 with his brother, a social media-focused digital agency. In 2016 VaynerMedia grossed $100 million providing social media strategy services to Fortune 500 companies. Invested in Facebook, Twitter, Vimeo, Tumblr and many other early tech phenomenon. Started VaynerRSE – a $25 million investment fund focusing on consumer technology, incubator, and angel funding. Founded VaynerSports in 2016, entering the sports marketing and agency business, one of Gary's first loves. Estimated net worth of over $150 million. Has his sights squarely set on his first billion and ownership of the New York Jets. He's only 41 as of this writing. Oh, and he's also happily married with two children. Now that you understand a little bit more about his story, let's dive into Gary's advice for creating a level 10/10 life. Gary Vaynerchuk on the Knowledge for Men Podcast To find the first set of “Clues” to help me understand Gary's rise to fame, I looked no further than the Knowledge for Men podcast and one of the earlier interviews that Gary did with Andrew. During this interview, Gary left 5 “Takeaways:” Learn to Love the Hustle – This is a consistent theme you will see among high-achievers. Pure and simple, they work harder than the also-rans. As Gary said in the podcast, “There's not one minute (of his day) not allocated to…..ACTION!” Only Operate From Strengths – Outsource your weaknesses. Focus on what you're naturally good at and what you enjoy the most. Focus on the Long Term – I will talk about this one later, but this is one of Gary's main points and is the topic of the video above. Especially if you're younger, you have all the time in the world to be successful. Don't think you have to change the world overnight. Become Self Aware – Know yourself: What are you good at? What do you suck at? Own them both equally. What is “Your Skill?” As Gary said in the podcast, once you know your skill, “go attack it.” It's All About the Journey – There is no destination. It's all about a lifetime of growth. Before you go any further into this article, I strongly recommend that you take 32 minutes out of your day and listen to Andrew's interview with Gary. Here's the link again: http://www.knowledgeformen.com/podcast-gary-vaynerchuk/ It will kick your ass and inspire you to take more action than you ever thought possible. And it will also give you a deeper understanding of Gary's story and process as we proceed through this article. Gary V's Key Success Clue #1: Hustle Gary's schedule starts before dawn and runs non-stop until after midnight. This was the only world Gary knew growing up. He watched his parents work hard every day in the family business and, as a young man fresh out of college, he wasn't partying, chasing girls and “hanging out,” like most of his peers. He was working. Seven days a week. Fifteen hours a day. For seven straight years. Today, with over $150 million in assets, many companies and a staff of over 1,000, you'd think he would throttle back. But that's about as likely as a snowball surviving a detour through hell. In other words… It a'int gonna happen. Gary hustles intensely every day. He knows that billionaire status, ownership of the New York Jets, and a life beyond imagination are all well within his wheelhouse, and he's not stopping to smell the roses. His intense energy and sheer hustle are clues to his success. How many people do you know who surf Facebook at work? You won't find Gary doing that unless it's specifically serving a client. Chatting in the breakroom? Are you kidding? No time for that. Long lunch hours? He eats on the run or during a meeting where he's advancing something, somehow. Every single second of the day is booked with only that which serves his higher goals. You won't find him wasting a single minute. The intensity you hear in the podcast is how he runs everything: meetings, conversations (on or off-line), and strategy sessions. And if you want to achieve similar results in your own life, then you need to be willing to take similar action. Action Steps: 1. Score Yourself: Give yourself a score right now on your intensity/efficiency/hustle factor? From 1 to 10, where are you? 2. Write down 5 ways you can improve immediately. Five action steps you'll begin now to emulate Gary's hustle and intensity. Gary V's Key Success Clue #2: Focus on the Digital World Gary has a knack for spotting technological trends early. In fact, his entire empire has been built on the foundation of spotting and maximizing digital trends and technological advancements. Gary was one of the earliest investors in countless tech companies. He was also one of the pioneers of using social media for business and was one of the first proponents of using YouTube for content marketing and Snapchat for business promotion… Ideas that were completely ahead of their times. But here's the cool thing about all of this. Gary doesn't have some sort of clairvoyance or weird ability to read into the future. He's simply educated himself about the world and technology and he bases his business decisions upon this understanding. If you want to gain a similar ability to spot trends and pivot accordingly, then I recommend you check out a book from New York Times columnist, “Thank You For Being Late”. For about a third of the book, Friedman outlines the modern digital revolution. An early chapter is titled, “What the Hell Happened in 2007?” where he explains how the iPhone, Facebook, Twitter, Airbnb and many other life-changing technologies all came to the masses in 2007. He discusses the future of AI, robotics and many other futuristic trends that aren't even prominent yet, predicting that we are in the infancy of a massive modern technological explosion. And Gary agrees with his prognosis wholeheartedly. The future is closer than you think and after the dotcom boom, it should be apparent to everyone reading this that if your businesses isn't evolving alongside technology, then it's dying. Action Steps: 1. Score yourself on your digital proficiency. 1 to 10, where are you? How vast is your understanding of digital strategies? Do you know how to build a website? Are you building a tribe on social media? Are you effective with SEO, getting your posts and videos ranked? 2. If you're not at least a 7 in all areas, what action-steps do you need to take today to improve your digital toolbox? Write them down now, while this is fresh. What do you need to learn? Where can you find the information? (Try YouTube and Twitter first) How will you apply it? What tools do you need? Map out a digital strategy for the next 12 months and get started today. Gary V's Key Success Clue #3: Patience Most of you will lose because you're trying to take shortcuts. Slow and steady wins the race. You're only competing with yourself. ~Gary Vaynerchuk As he says in the video at the beginning of the article, this is Gary's top key to his success. He's in it for the long haul which is why he has succeeded at far greater levels than people who are merely interested in the next 12 months. Go to the 1:22 mark in the video. Imprint this in your consciousness and never forget it: We live in an instant-gratification, want-it-now culture. But this attitude doesn't work in wealth-building. In fact, it's the opposite attitude that will yield the results you really want. In George S. Clason's classic best seller, “The Richest Man in Babylon” he beautifully illustrates the concept of compounding, a factor that applies to investing and to business. Compound your time. Compound leverage. Compound your influence and reach. Compound your best talents. Compound your team. Compound everything you do. That's what Gary did, and it's his biggest tip for achieving success. Compounding is the slow-and-steady way to wealth. The key ingredient is time and hustle. As Gary says regularly, “The key is macro patience and micro intensity Work your ass off in the moment and don't slow your efforts down for a second. But realize that your effort and hustle probably won't pay off for another 7-11 years. And the sooner you can accept that fact, the sooner you will be able to truly pursue and achieve your goals. And always remember that regardless what age you are, you have time. Even if you're older, you still have time. Ray Kroc didn't meet the McDonald brothers until he was 52. Then, it took a couple years to get the franchising off the ground, so what you see today didn't begin until its founder was in his mid-fifties. Look at Bob Proctor, the seminar leader and author of “You Were Born Rich.” At 83, he still travels the world in his private NetJets plane, holds multi-day seminars and bounces onto the stage like someone 30 years his junior. In ten years of compounding your talents in the digital world, you could literally build an empire of reach, influence, customers, fans, and wealth. Study what Gary did and put his steps to work in your own life now. Action Steps: 1. Give yourself a score on patience from 1 to 10. How patient have you been in your career up to now and how patient would you describe yourself today? 2. What can you shift from short-haul thinking to long-haul thinking? Take inventory of your strategies and outline a 1-year, 5-year, 10-year and 20-year plan. If you do nothing else, jot down (somewhere where you can get back to it) “where would I like to be in….” There is tremendous power in writing things down and tucking them away. It triggers your subconscious to start moving in those directions. Try it! 3. Pick up “The Richest Man in Babylon” and read it. In Conclusion Regardless of where you are on the journey, there is always more to learn. Some little nugget could shift your thinking and your actions, generating thousands or even millions of dollars. Gary Vaynerchuk is full of such nuggets, and (thanks to his total embracing of all things digital) he has left a huge breadcrumb trail for us to follow. (Thanks, Gary!) Ask yourself, can you crank up your intensity, your efficiency, and your hustle? Are you up to it? I was talking to some guys in a money-oriented mastermind this week and their #1 complaint was falling into complacency. If you are in that trap today, take massive action to get out of it now! What steps will you begin right now to up your game? Then ask yourself how you can boost your digital presence. Whatever you do, even if it's a local mom-and-pop retail or service business, think of a way you can increase your social media tribe, reach more people, add more value, and find new ways to sell online. There are 8 billion people out there, and regardless of what continent they live on, most are not that far from a browser, and thus from YOU! Embrace the digital world like Gary has. Remember, as Tom Friedman says, we're only in the first inning. And most importantly, be in it for the long haul. If you've found yourself going after the quick buck, stop it right now! Follow what other successful people like Gary have done and play the game over your entire lifetime. Success leaves clues. Find and follow them. P.S. If you are interested in getting Gary's hustle factor for yourself, the quickest way that I've found to achieve these levels of success is with a high performance coach.

Colin Cowie is a top designer for all things weddings, as well as galas, charitable events, corporate and destination celebrations. He's beloved by the likes of Oprah, Jerry Seinfeld, Elton John, Michael Jordan, Bruce Willis, Jennifer Aniston, and countless other A-list celebrities. Since Colin arrived in Los Angeles from Kitzwe, Zambia at the height of apartheid in 1985, his professional life has soared. Colin grew up in a household that constantly entertained friends and family, so when he came to the US, he just started doing the same thing he had always been doing at home in Zambia.

Colin Cowie is a top designer for all things weddings—as well as galas, charitable events, corporate and destination celebrations. He's beloved by the likes of Oprah, Jerry Seinfeld, Elton John, Michael Jordan, Bruce Willis, Jennifer Aniston, and countless other A-list celebrities. Ever since Colin arrived in Los Angeles from Kitzwe, Zambia at the height of apartheid in 1985, his professional life has soared. While teaching cooking lessons at age 23, he met a woman whose chance encounter soon led to his first wedding assignment for a local bachelor: Hugh Hefner. Thirty-one years of parties, weddings, and multi-day events later, he’s never created the same event twice. The degree to which Colin cares for and personalizes his work is not just unmatched, it's nearly indescribable, and precisely why he’s consistently relied upon by the most discerning of clientele. He learns everything there is to know about his clients, over hors d'oeuvres and champagne, until the event he crafts (and the journey on which he takes his clients to get there) is not just perfectly tailored, but permanently unique. When he isn't designing weddings and Fortune 500 parties, Oprah Winfrey’s Legends Ball or Guinness Book of World Records-breaking pyrotechnic shows abroad, Colin works as "creator-director" for elite brands like NetJets, Dom Pérignon, and Bergdorf Goodman; even private islands. Idyllic as Colin’s life may sound, and so often is, he and Andy extend their conversation today beyond the exclusive glamour of the luxury events industry to the unseen challenges once faced in the midst of the great recession, Colin's daily routines (from meditation and "I am" statements to nightcaps), professional strategies, and the critical value of humility and gratitude.

What lessons can we learn from rock stars in the world of customer service and customer experience, like Ritz-Carlton? Shep Hyken interviews award-winning training and development expert, international consultant and speaker, former VP of Ritz-Carlton Leadership and current Executive VP of Owner Experience at NetJets, Diana Oreck, about the traits that make for good customer service. First Up: In Shep Hyken’s opening comments he relates an experience from the customer service workshops his company conducts for client companies. In these workshops, attendees are asked, “What is a quality that all customer-focused employees possess?” After a list is tallied, an interesting observation can be made. While a few of these qualities, are the skills required to do the job, the clear majority of the qualities are attitudinal traits. What Shep then challenges you do to is to make a list of all the attitudinal traits that you think would be required for a truly customer-focused employee, specifically in your organization. Then choose ten of them. Combine this top ten list with the skills that an employee must have to do their job. When you find a candidate that possesses all the qualities on the list (both attitudinal qualities and skills), you will likely have your next amazing employee! Featured Interview: Shep begins his interview with Diana Oreck, who served as the Vice President of the Ritz-Carlton Leadership Center, and is currently the Executive VP of Owner Experience at NetJets, about what makes customer service and the customer experience at Ritz-Carlton so special. Oreck says it all stems from their often-quoted motto: “We are ladies and gentlemen serving ladies and gentlemen.” We should all expect respect and kindness. That’s how the Ritz-Carlton treats people, both internally and externally. They have truly hardwired the concept of the most important word, which is always. Because always leads to consistency, which leads to trust, which leads to profitability. That spirit to serve, regardless of your role in the company, is wired into people’s DNA. And management at the Ritz-Carlton is fantastic, because they walk the talk. Top Takeaways: • If you are in a service industry, competence is the price of entry. We left the transactional economy years ago. • Easy to do business with has now become a greater predictor of customer loyalty than customer satisfaction. • We shouldn’t be calling them “soft skills.” There is a connotation there that they aren’t really that important. They are. We should call them “real skills” instead. About: Diana Oreck is a nationally and internationally recognized, results-driven, creative, senior executive with 30 years’ experience in the hospitality industry. Additionally, Oreck is an international consultant in corporate culture, branding, leadership, employee engagement and legendary service. She was named 2011/2012 Professional Woman of the Year by the National Association of Professional Women. After a 12-year career at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, Oreck is currently the Executive Vice President of the Owner Experience for NetJets.
