A Blast from the Past: Catching up with Jessie and How Safety is Her Driving Force
The Jet Blast team had their first repeat guest!!! We were able to work some time in with Jessie Naor (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessienaor/) of Grandview Aviation (https://flygv.com/) before she took off for a couple of events, including speaking at CJI London (https://www.corporatejetinvestor.com/event/london-2023/). When we first talked to Jessie way back in July of 2020 (why does that feel like a hundred years ago????) she was in the early stages of her industry involvement as an advocate for safe and legal charter operations. Since we had our first conversation, there were big changes at Grandview and she is now on the Board of Directors for NATA (https://www.nata.aero/) and the Executive Committee Vice Chair for the Air Charter Safety Foundation (https://www.acsf.aero/).
It was great to catch up with Jessie on all the changes at Grandview as well as how her path is taking her from advocate to icon as Nathan has now christened her.
We didn't have any goat talk this week, but Andy did get a haircut, so that was pretty big news. And Lee got out of going ice fishing again.

Substance Over Hype - Looking at the Financial Data
Business aviation is booming, and the hype around different players has garnered interest everywhere, including private equity, SPACs, and venture capital, to name a few. In this episode, we had the opportunity to chat with Michael Riegel (https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-riegel-mba-msc-fraes-963109b/) and gain insight into the current state of the business aviation industry, what the influxes of cash will mean, and how to interpret the data to look past the hype.
Unfortunately, Nathan’s airplanes got in the way this week, so Andy and Lee were on their own. After some goat and island talk, Michael dove in to give his perspective and answer questions a few underlying questions about financial health. You won’t find Michael on all the social media platforms, but he shares his thoughts and analysis on LinkedIn. Give him a follow and ask questions; the discussions in his comments are some of the best!

Calm is Contagious - Bringing Dignity in the Midst of Disaster
When we think about business & private aviation, we usually think about luxury and convenience, it is the go-to perception and the most obvious, but it is so much more. On this episode Nathan, Andy, and Lee got talk to Sarah Kiehl (https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-kiehl-9674981a2/) and Stephen Burgess (https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephen-burgess/) of Fireside Partners (https://firesideteam.com/) and we talked about how business aviation is an integral piece in stepping up when the unimaginable happens. Sarah and Stephen are part of the Air SOS (https://air-sos.com) team that helps people and organizations manage the logistics of bringing someone back home when they pass.
We discussed the logistics and what it takes, but so much of it is encompassed in empathy, compassion, and a dedication to dignity for all parties. This discussion got a little deep, but these are the tough subjects that we need to think about. If you are managing people who are traveling and flying all over the world, you MUST have a plan and/or a contact for these types of situations. Do you address it in your ERP? Do you have a list of contacts to start moving and to help with the complexities of a tragedy?
As always it is the people that make our conversations educational and enjoyable and Sarah and Stephen are some of the best! We did take some time to talk about their volunteer work and causes that are very important to them and you can find the links below. Now you know, we did have to touch on Andy and his goats, but Stephen did say he could work out special plans if necessary. And if you didn't make the connection, Sarah is the mojo behind the legend that is Andy Kiehl. 😉
