I taught some students, and they taught me!

Today some students visited me to learn about what it takes to sell private jets. But I was left pleasantly surprised with what they actually ended up teaching me. I paused my workday and greeted them in the fuselage. We sat down and let me tell you, they came prepared with just the right questions.

We covered topics such as corporate jets, the interest rate. After a good hour of conversations, we then went out to the video wall, so this is when a client comes in, where I gave a presentation on exactly how you sell a private jet. It was around now that I slowly started realizing that even after 40 years in the jet business, there's still something new to absorb every single day. Even an old guy like me can learn something from these kids.

Our time is coming to an end, and this turned out to be one of my favorite meetings that week. I hope the students learned a thing or two, because I certainly did. So if you're going to take anything from watching this video, never ever stop learning, no matter who you are or how much you think you know.
