A day in my life.

This is a day in the life of a private jet broker. I get into the office at six a.m., three hours before my team. I like getting in early to catch up on work and establish my plan of action for the rest of the day. I then call my clients in Asia, do emails, and take more calls.

"Yeah, the price is 49.8 million dollars."

Later that morning, I met this 21-year-old entrepreneur with ambitious plans in the aviation industry. His name is Xander Futonet. He wants to revolutionize luxury travel. I then took Xander through this app that I built to help people buy their dream jet.

Before I knew it, it was the afternoon, and I jumped in the car and headed down to Saving Street. One thing most people never really get to see is that I'm on a phone 24/7. Clients, brokers, lawyers, buyers, sellers from all over the world—it never stops. I just had time to squeeze in a haircut with Chris. Great guy, always good to see him.

Haircut done, straight back to the office. Non-stop 12-hour days are common; that's what it takes to make it in this business. As I ride back, I bumped into Fabio, a man I've known for 30 years. Back in the office and straight into another meeting. These guys also have very ambitious ambitions.
