- A degree that can lead to a job that pays at least 50% of the cost within 3 years of graduating.
Sounds like someone with a new child.
You can teach hard work, determination, social skills, etc without putting ridiculous requirements on your kids.

I HATE this part of my industry.
Aviation is unforgiving. Train, have SOPs, mentors, don’t go if it isn’t right, practice emergency situations. And pray that nothing bad happens to you or those you love.
Tough day.

This is why I don’t “sell” insurance.
Insurance is a widget - anyone can sell it.
I sell myself. My expertise, aviation knowledge and background, connections, my team, our service.
A young broker just called me and told me he unknowingly tried to hand a client of mine his business card at a conference
He said my client took one look at his business card and said “you’re not Bindi” and handed the card back
These are the type of clients you want

Why do you buy insurance?
Let me tell you a story.
I was in Denver and winds were forecast to gust 65mph overnight.
One of those gusts caused an untied Metroliner (big plane) to do a complete 360 degree turn damaging three different aircraft.
$100k plus is damages to one

Why was I flying on a cloudy, windy Sunday?
If you’re flying, and taking passengers, the FAA requires that you have a minimum of 3 takeoffs and landings within the last 90 days.
I’m visiting a client tomorrow and taking one of my team so needed to get legal per the FAA!

Visiting your clients is the best way to build solid relationships and make sure you understand the risk and client needs.

Flew to Denver to visit a few clients this past weekend. Faster than the airlines!
Unfortunately, while I was there two clients had claims due to 65mph winds.
Fortunately, I was there and able to meet them in person and see the damage.

I hate to say it but imagine the increased situational awareness when this technology comes to the cockpit.

- Live traffic & obstacle avoidance
- Live taxi and route guidance
- Potential claim/incident avoidance alerts

ForeFlight has released the Voyager app for Apple’s newly released Vision Pro virtual reality headset.
The traffic in the Voyager app is shown at to-scale altitudes with realistic pitch/bank and includes all aircraft types—commercial airliners, business jets, etc.
