    Is flying private worth it? Apparently studies show that private planes are 200 times more deadly than commercial. I didn’t know this until doing research after a frightening experience last week. My family boarded a private jet and I took this video when we were taking off.

    Flying Commerical has more guidelines and regulations than charter and private flights but the chance of crashing is nowhere near 200 times more. The chances of a crash are 9.4 times more on a charter flight. rmas.fad.harvard.edu/pages/chartere…

    Comment from a realtor we talked to in Arizona this week: “I’ve never seen this many vacation rentals come on the market for sale. Every day someone is asking us to list their Airbnb for sale.”

    I made $500,000 selling $1 dollar bills for $15 each. The crazy thing is people are still doing this today. Here's what I did... 1/12

    We have 2 Airbnb bookings for the super bowl next year that add up to more than $250,000. This is crazy!!! These bookings pay for the mortgage plus all operating expenses for the entire year.

    I recently got a beach house to use as my “office”. It’s the best investment I’ve ever made. I had no idea how much I would enjoy being at the beach everyday. Taking a daily walk down the beach, looking up from my laptop and seeing surfers and dolphins. I am so grateful 🙏

    I’m planning a one year trip around the world with my family. The goal is to experience different cultures, live like a local, and do something philanthropic in each location. 12 months. 12 different cities. Where should we go? Has anyone done something like this before?

    Thank you @ClintFiore for sharing some additional data that provides further insight. The 200X number I shared while it might be technically accurate. There’s nuance to it. This is good to know.

    It's finally complete. This is the coolest Airbnb we've created yet. See 100+ photos here: tours.previewfirst.com/ml/125082 Leave a comment and post the photo you think we should use as our main cover photo. It doesn't need to be one of the 3 that I posted, there are 100+ to choose from.

    Holly shit. I just experienced the scariest moment of my life. A few minutes ago I was walking down the beach with my son collecting seashells. When out of the blue a rouge wave came in and submerged him and smashed him into the rocks. I immediately dove into the rocks after

    Want to turn your kid into an entrepreneur? Here’s a great tip👇 My friend told me about something he does with his daughter and I thought it was genius. I loved the concept so much I’m now doing it with my kids. If you have kids you may want to consider doing this too. 🧵

    I sacrificed years of my life working 7 days a week building different companies I started. Lots of failures and a couple big successes. The payoff was worth it. Its Wednesday and I spent all day on the beach with my kids. We collected driftwood and built a fort.

    Gold standard for private aviation. I agree this two operators are probably the best.
