I start off my day by arriving early at the office and closing a deal on a private jet sale in Asia. You know we always tell people, "We want you to hate us today, not the six on." From so we're giving you all the bad news now, and if you can live with all this, your actual budget is going to come out better.

After that, I'm heading to the F Bar Air Show to check out some eVTOLs, that's electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles, otherwise known as flying cars. One of the first eVTOLs we saw was from a company called Supern. It was amazing to see its unique design and learn about how these things rate and the logistics behind them. I always say, "Know your product!" Always.

It was time to move on to the next one. The air show is massive. There was so much to catch up on, and believe me when I say massive, it was massive! We somehow navigated our way through and made it to the Lilium display. Some of these manufacturers actually claim they're quieter than a drone.

We were halfway through the day, and there was still so much to say. As I was exploring, I met a couple of viewers who wanted to chat about our content. Unfortunately, time was not slowing down.
