I don't actually own my money. It's actually God's money and so I'm the vessel which it passes through, the more abundance and the more vitality that I create in my life. I believe I look at it as like a frequency, like money, my own natural energy yield right. So money isn't coming into my life than likely the energetic frequency in which I'm resonating at isn't in alignment with growth or accepting that money. The number one bio hack is getting your feet touching your right.

Speaker 1: 2:28

Thanks for having me, Matt. Glad to be here and looking forward to going deep together.

Speaker 3: 2:33

Dude, glad to Glad to dig in today, man, we've got some interesting topics to hit on that Don't typically get hit on this show. So we're going to be diving in today on biohacking, which you're an expert in, and then there's new business that you're now rolling into, verajet, which is pretty cool, and some awesome lessons to be given to the listeners today about not needing to just focus in on one area in life. So let's start off with who you are and what you're doing today, brett Harmeling, and then we'll dig a bit deeper into how this came to be.

Speaker 1: 3:13

Awesome, matt, once again, thanks for having me. I consider myself a social and serial entrepreneur, and what that looks like is being involved with many organizations over the course of my life through many different industries, not only being an investor, but playing key roles and helping businesses scale, grow, evolve and then some even go public, and so in that space, I've met a lot of extraordinary people, and I think the most important thing that I like to highlight about any business that I've been a part of is it's not what we're doing, it's who we were doing it with, and that was the number one factor that determined whether or not we're going to be successful or not, and so I think that's a critical thing to realize early on. Is you look around and you're like I don't know, I can't relate to the people around. Maybe time for a shift, whether that's personally or professionally. And so I have been on this entrepreneurial journey since I was a kid and I had a paper route, so over 20 years as an entrepreneur, I've bounced around.

Speaker 1: 4:11

I have no problem working with and for other companies. I look at a job as an investor in your dream, and therefore I don't ever look at it like it's a limiting thing. I think it's something that enhances life. Working in a team way. I grew up playing hockey, soccer, golf, so a lot of sports and I implement those, that discipline, into my everyday regimen as a father, as a husband, as an entrepreneur, and then now scaling the organization, the company that's going to transform the way that people travel. So it's really exciting and doing all that stuff and creating the financial abundance that we have been able to do then it allows me to give in a capacity that I would have never been able to do without creating that success quote unquote for myself and family. So that's how I grew up on a farm and there's always been a really high energy kid and just live life full out. And some people call it extreme. I just call it like living every day as if it's my last.

Speaker 3: 5:11

Dude, wanting to have fun with everything that life is bringing and trying to create the best out of every situation that we're in, because, realistically, the situation that you're in right now is the only situation that you've got.

Speaker 3: 5:23

So you better make the best of this situation that you've had, man, and I love that you're doing that. One thing that you mentioned that I want you to touch on a bit, because a lot of people that come on this podcast it's the Financial Freedom Fast podcast so a lot of people are like man, I hate my job, I want to get out of my job, I want to build passive income so I could get out of here. But one thing you said there is that you look at jobs as almost your company is an investor in your dream, like into you. So how did you switch to that mindset? So like growing up on a farm that's slightly entrepreneurial, like you're building up your family's business and then you go out and then you have somebody else who's telling you what to do and paying you to do that. But where did you adopt that mindset of the company or employer being an investor in you?

Speaker 1: 6:20

So we're all given. My belief is that we're all given a very unique set of gifts, talents, resources, and we're woven in the fabric of this universe and we don't really get to choose where we get woven in. And so it's our opportunity, as professionals and as humans, to maximize whatever we've been given and then contribute in a way that's fully like. Even if I look at money, I'm like I don't actually own my money. It's actually God's money, it's a resource and so I'm the vessel which it passes through the more abundance and the more vitality that I create in my life. I believe I look at it as like a frequency, like money, my own natural energy yield. Right, the money isn't coming into my life, then likely the energetic frequency in which I'm resonating at isn't in alignment with growth or accepting that money.

Speaker 1: 7:11

And oftentimes I ask people that come to me for a mentorship. I'm like, if I gave you a million dollars today, what would you do with it? And if you're confused or don't know what to do with it, then you don't have a plan. If you don't have a plan, it's hard to actually dream big, because you're like how do I even get to, how do I get out of debt first. A lot of people start there student loans, cars, houses it's like remarkably expensive to just to live in a city these days, for instance, and so it's like how do you get out of that and escape that?

Speaker 1: 7:36

And the answer is we live in a very hyper-connected reality which is multifaceted. What I mean by that is there's so many ways to make money and oftentimes, matt, we get so close like if you're looking at your palm, you can't see the beautiful lines in your hand. But if you step away and you're able to see a different perspective, then you can see how your life set up. And I say that because I surround myself with men and women who I really look up to, trust and respect, and from that mentorship and guidance I get to learn the wisdom that they've been through in their life. And I get to learn versus me having to go through it, because some of those big setbacks can be life altering. And so, between that and institutional grade education, I've been able to get myself ahead at a very young age and put myself in circles that I never could have even imagined being a part of, even five, 10 years ago.

Speaker 3: 8:30

So two things that you hit on there that I want to touch on. One you've got the community of people that you surround yourself with and I'll dig into that after this. The first thing that I want to touch on is your definition of money. Here I like the acronym my Own Natural Energy Yield, and you said if you don't have a plan for the money, if I gave you a million dollars today, what would you do with it? You don't even know, you don't have a plan for that money and it is almost like you're not going to have this abundance of money flowing to you if you don't know what you would do with that money, if you don't have a plan, if you don't have this execution, somewhere to go put your money. So how would you suggest that people can shift their minds so they can be in a more money abundant mindset to accept and be open to the universe or God, whatever it is bringing them more money into their lives?

Speaker 1: 9:36

The short answer is go to Tony Robbins and unleash the power within, because he will say mantras every single morning that say I accept avalanches of wealth pouring into my life freely. And you start saying that stuff and it's just like the whole mantra I'm going to lift the 200. At first it sounds a little weird and then you start actually saying it and on a cellular level, your body starts believing it, and so you want to have goals that are exciting. Right, if you're like maybe I don't know what I'm going to do with the million dollars, but I know that if I had it, I would be able to solve X problem in a different or better way, or I would be able to find serenity because I would be able to live in a mountain home or whatever that thing is. And so I'm like it's, and it's not about the thing, it's who you become in the process of getting that thing.

Speaker 1: 10:22

That's really exciting, because to get something that you never had, you have to do something that you've never done. And that paradigm, right there, is one of the most powerful and transformational things that going on that journey I call it the hero's journey, by the way going on that journey is scary exciting. But guess what? You know that you'll never go back to where you were, so you'll at least land somewhere in them. And that's exciting. And it's about that 1% better everyday mentality, right, like you're not going to. Yeah, you're going to have small and massive wins in your lifetime, but it's not really. It's just acknowledging, like you said at the beginning of this call, where I'm at right now. Because we, trapped in our phones, look in the box, we're in a whole other dimension of reality and we're like what did I do today? It's like we are so connected that we're actually disconnected.

Speaker 3: 11:10

It's sad, it's the biggest conundrum right now and the how disconnected people can feel the amount of depression that's out there, just from people seeing what other people are doing on their cell phones, like just through this little box, and they're seeing what other people are going through the lifestyles they're living and they're getting upset about their own lives. What I love what you said there is to get something that you've never had, to experience something that you've never had. You've got to be willing to do the things that you've never done before, because what you're currently doing and what you've done in the past is what has gotten you to where you're at right now. So if you want to be somewhere different, you're going to obviously have to do different things than you've done, because they haven't taken you. What you've done has taken you right where you are right now. So you've got to be open to making yourself better, experiencing new things, taking a step into the unknown and experiencing some of this fear to create the lifestyle that you want to create Now.

Speaker 3: 12:14

Having a community of people around you to encourage you to do these things and tell you these things are okay to do, to step into the unknown, can give you the confidence to go out there and hop in and do these things. What has your journey been like with surrounding yourself with high powered entrepreneurial people that have encouraged you to do this stuff? I know you're go-bundance, but what other groups have you done? Tony Robbins, let's hear about how you've tackled that in your life.

Speaker 1: 12:48

Yeah, I was the kind of the kid at the bottom of the barrel right. That was like never supposed to make it so like I'm, like the little engine that I like no matter what. I never quit, and that resilience got me into circles. And one of my mentors early on was saying instead of semen and sales that's essentially four or 15 years now and I really love sales because it's an art right and if you want better results, you just got to ask better questions. And so when you shift the mindset from sales to serving like how can I serve you Today, matt, versus what can I sell you today that energy is. That is a simple example of how you can really up level your relationships, because people feel that I'm writing a book right now that's called the biofield blueprint and what it's going to focus on is you know your aura and managing your energy and how important it is how you show up, because your energy introduces you before you even speak. And so, even if you're not worth a million bucks or whatever you can, people can tell most of the time where you're at, like ballpark estimate you can. If you really started to study successful people versus non, you can really understand patterns and the way people act and the way things people do things, and those patterns are a representation of typically, of abundance, and so I always took big risks on myself. I've invested over 30 companies now, but the best investments that I've ever made are in myself, and because I know that I'm, I know that like I can make bigger yields on my energy than trusting someone else to do it, and so whenever I have the opportunity to step into that superpower of being more of me, then I do it and I go full in on it, and people know that. People know about me now and today, since I've grown up per se, that they know that I'm, that I don't take any shortcuts, and so I'll never invest or work with any organization or company. That's average. And so everyone, including all the partners that I have with happy life labs, are the world's best companies, the best product, the best people, and they're doing. They're doing good for the world, and I call that force for good, and so when you enter these forces for good, you're able to see where you fit in and how you can help by just being more of you. That's your greatest superpower just being more of you.

Speaker 1: 15:07

If you try to be someone else. Learning skills is something that's learned and trained, but like just being with people, like fully who you are, is what's going to help, is what's going to get the right people in your life. Who cares if you have 100,000 dollars? If 96,000 people don't like you, like it doesn't, you know, it doesn't matter nor follow.

Speaker 1: 15:27

But we feel that as humans, because we want to be liked, we have an energetic code that's built into us where we need and seek validation in every relationship in our life. We don't get it, we get hurt and we're emotional. And so what do you do with those emotions? I look at Noah's next opportunity. So when someone doesn't want to engage with me or doesn't like the deal that I'm doing, they're like no, I'm like, thank you so much.

Speaker 1: 15:50

And then I ask for very powerful feedback why please like not, I'm not. This is not a confrontational thing, it's not an argument, just like tell me why so I can do my job better. That is a gift of gold to me, because I want to understand where did I miss my mark or where are we missing a mark? And then, from those learnings and teachings, you're able to rapidly accelerate your growth in whatever the thing is you're doing. It can be really small, by the way, and that's why I encourage people what is something that you like doing? Get stability first. Stability is very important for most people, right? And once you add that stability, then you can start to take smaller risks. And once the smaller risk starts paying out and once your stability keeps growing, then you can start to take massive risks. Then you just start to feel dangerous, like I do, because I'm like I will risk a lot of things when I believe in something.

Speaker 3: 16:41

Love that man. What are some of the ways that you have invested into yourself? You said that the best investment that I could make is into myself, because I'm investing into my energy and that'll compound into the future. What are some of those investments that you've made? That were some of the most pivotal and pivotal investments that you've made into yourself.

Speaker 1: 17:06

Yeah, so getting educated, getting myself an MBA from Rice University is $130,000. You could just go to an online MBA program, but I believe in the power of network and the power of being at an institution that teaches the Socratic, case-based, conversational-based learning style that works for me really well. So that's an example. Institutional-grade education I still believe in it. I would say education fundamentally is broken in our country. But if you want to accelerate and get into, if you're in a boardroom and people are looking at your credentials because people are judgments of character and you have an MBA, nobody says anything. But if you don't, then they're like oh I wonder if that guy is serious. So it's up-leveling. If you want to play the game at a bigger level, you've got to play the game. So there's part of it's playing the game and then also being a part of groups like Go Bunions. Go Bunions is over $12,000 per year, over $1,000 a month. So many people will be like you have to pay for friends or relationships or I'm like, no, that's the barrier to entry to have conversations that you can't have with normal people, because the conversations that we have are not about success, they're about significance. And how can I take what I have right now, accelerate it and make a bigger, indelible impact on humanity using the collective resources that we have available to us. That's one.

Speaker 1: 18:20

Another one that's simple Travel Right. Get yourself cultured, go to places, and if you can't afford travel, I'll just call bullshit on that, because you can do a mission trip and get yourself on a trip and get your hands dirty and dive in and go anywhere in the world, pretty much because people need your help. And so don't say I don't have money to travel, because I've been to 56 countries, 39 states, and a lot of those trips were business and pleasure or mission work and pleasure. You got to work them together or you're just missing those opportunities, and so traveling is a great way. And then the number one one, matt, is health. There is nothing more important than your health. I'm friends and connected to many billionaires and every single one of them fundamentally agrees that it, without your health, no amount of money is even worth working for, because once your health is gone, there's what's the point.

Speaker 3: 19:23

You can't do anything with that money anyway. If you're not healthy and you can't enjoy yourself, you're not going to enjoy the money. If you can't breathe properly, you're not going to have fun wherever you are.

Speaker 1: 19:35

Exactly, and so just getting and that's not a lot of money per se, that's a lot of time you got to build the morning routine Because you got it like for me I go in and out of different types of meetings all day.

Speaker 1: 19:47

Some are institutional grade RIAs for high-powered investment vehicles for our very jet, and then some. I'm teaching someone how to use a red light the next meeting, like it's so, and being in that ebb and flow is something that like works well for me. It doesn't work for everyone, which is which I totally understand, and that leads me to say the biggest critic of you is you, and the reason that you're not at where you're at in life or you are where you're at, is because of you. So taking on 100% responsibility for your outcome and your experience of life is like literally on you.

Speaker 1: 20:22

Yeah, I've had a lot of trauma and I'm saying that not me personally, matt. I've had a lot of trauma like near-death experience, traumatic brain injury, I was molested. There's just some things that have fundamentally shifted the trajectory of my life and instead of being shamed and burdened by them my whole life, I've used them as powerful teachers to step in to my step into discomfort and be a beacon of light for those people that don't feel the same hope Cause I went at one point was like I don't know. I don't know if I want to make you guys, and I didn't really tell a lot of people that because I was scared and that's why it's like important to check on the people that you look up to Cause. When you're a leader, you're typically like a lone wolf. You're doing stuff that nobody else has.

Speaker 1: 21:04

The money as the risk profile to take, and so it can be a very lonely journey and something that I deal with, and that's also a reason why I think, working with a company or volunteering for an organization like I'm on the board of Aero Recovery and the Hives for Heroes to and imagine one day, which is these are all global organizations that are really fighting the good fight, helping people learn better, listen better, lead better and then also saving the saving kids and people that are trafficked and just dealt with unbelievable circumstances, and so those are things that just they all integrate and it seems like a lot, but really this is just who I am at the core is I just want if there's a problem, I want to solve it.

Speaker 3: 21:49

Man, and one of the main takeaways that I get from everything that you pulled out right there is that we are the creators of our own lives. So whatever it is that you want, you have to know that you are the only one that is going to be able to create that for yourself. And, just as a summary, as the main ways for you to invest into yourself, we've got travel, getting a community around you, you've got education and, mainly, is your health, because if you build this great big business and you don't have your health with you, then what good does any of what you've built done if you can't really experience it and love it and enjoy it for yourself in that moment? So let's dive into health and happy life labs, which is this biohacking product company that you're creating out there. So let's talk about what happy life labs is, what you're doing with that and what the mission is there.

Speaker 1: 22:47

Awesome. Yeah, so it was created originally to spend a project. Over the last 10 years, I got myself off of all medications. I went through a dark journey in that process and specifically I was transparent it was Adderall as well as some antidepressant stuff that was helping me support with just the stuff I was going through from a brain injury right Like an actual injury. And so we myself off cold turkey style went through deep, deep dark time and I was like there's got to be a better way, and so I started experimenting with red light because that was like a recommendation and I only got to a certain level in my healing process.

Speaker 1: 23:21

I'm just sharing this because it's a story, right Like. It's not about the money for me, it's about helping other people live better, longer, using science, tools and technology to optimize their life. It's really simple, really straightforward, and I do that by helping people get closer to nature. As you'd mentioned, like really the number one biohack is getting your feet touching your right. It's 108 and Houston. Usually I do my podcasts and calls outside at barefoot, because that's when I feel the most connected to the source and we grow from where we're grounded. And so if you want to grow and you're not grounded, you're probably going to grow average. You want to grow optimally. You got to get yourself grounded in your space, in your energy, and so I created happy life labs and, over the years, going to like, I think, six or seven biohacking conferences and events, meeting the people behind the products, and so, anyway, end up being an affiliate.

Speaker 1: 24:18

I've been teaching yoga for a long time now, taught you know all over the world. I've trained people to become yoga teachers. It's something I'm super passionate about is moving the body and getting yoga means to connect or to unite, to yoke, and so when you do yoga, you're actually just getting closer to who you are, which I think is like the best thing you can possibly do. And so I like to teach, like the heated, powerful vinyasa classes, because I was facing it. I don't think a lot of people have a lot of time, and so I was like you're going to get a rigorous workout, so you're going to get physical nurse. You're going to get meditation, because I'm going to have you meditating in and through poses. You're going to get breath work, and that's going to lead you to inquiry about what is true about me from this place, feeling rinsed out, cleansed and whatever.

Speaker 1: 25:01

And so initially we I thought I wanted a center, a space, and so we we opened on Earth Day this year. We opened a center and we'd like really pretty much immediately closed it because I realized I didn't want to be stuck. I didn't want to be stuck managing a business in person waiting for people to come and show up and curating events, and the reason is because I think that I knew that I can be more dangerous by having a brand that was more exclusive and that supported people globally, and so we shifted it to a digital model, past your protected website, where people can go and they can get the best price on the best products. So there takes all the guessing out of the work. So you can go to, you can go to our website and what you can do is you get access to the best products in the world, versus you trying to have to search hours and years of research on what's the bed best, red light and like why, and then like why what's the best sauna?

Speaker 1: 25:57

There's all these different variables that determine what's best and what's right for you, and so I finally created a place where it all just came together and it's been awesome, because sales I just. Every time I see someone buy something, it puts a big smile on my face because I know that person's investing in themselves and I know that's the answer that people need to be wealthy. It's just double limbs on their own vitality.

Speaker 3: 26:22

And that's one thing that we didn't even hit on like with the health, like it is good to be, but when we're healthy we can enjoy the fruits of our labors because we can actually enjoy our lives. But it's also that being healthy, keeping yourself healthy, doing the things that healthy people do, working out, eating right, gives you more energy, which allows you to be more productive, which allows you to get more done in your day and therefore become more successful in that business realm or financial realm. If you are healthier, you can get these done, things done quicker and live a better life for yourself in those different areas as well. So I love what you're doing there. I remember hearing you speak out in I think it was Tahoe. You were speaking on the red lights out there, so cool to see those types of products. So you mentioned like a morning routine that you had. What are some of the things? Do you do the miracle morning where you've got the different layers of things that you do each morning? What does your morning routine look like?

Speaker 1: 27:28

I love that you brought that up, because how a lot is like a hero to me. I love that guy and the thankfully connected. I do not do the miracle morning. There's no reason I don't do it, it's just I have a different routine and so it's an adjust. The routine that's been working is like why do that?

Speaker 1: 27:42

And so the number one thing that I do in the morning is I move, and that sounds crazy, but you got to get the body moving, stretching, opening up, think about it. You're laying down for, hopefully, more than seven hours and so you need to get the body back into its state. So hanging is a really good one, just hanging, because it elongates the spine, gets doing some simple twists. I'm not talking about anything extreme, by the way. I'm talking two, three minutes. It's just simple stretching, simple hanging. If you have an inversion table or access to getting upside down, it'll help decompress your spine. Simple stretches and then prayer and getting connected to God. So I'm Catholic, I'm just I get everything for him kind of guy, and so well, whoever you're, whoever like, whoever, whatever you believe in, I think it's really important to be really connected to that, because when I feel, if I miss a morning, spending time with the person that you know, that sees everything that I do and that holds me to my best self. If I miss that opportunity to connect with God, then I feel like my whole day doesn't really matter. I just feel like it's, you know what, the most important conversation I'm supposed to have that I didn't have. And so I don't live in shame or like the whole day like in a bad mood, I'm just saying it's that important. It's like you got to start the days off, right, or like your chance of having a good day is going to diminish pretty quickly, right.

Speaker 1: 29:05

And then, from a light source thing, if you can, you want to look at the sun with your rises and sets. It's called the golden hour. There's a very specific wavelength of energy that penetrates into your eyes, hits your pineal gland and tells your body hey, it's time to wake up or it's time to go to sleep. So getting that energy into the pineal gland. A lot of people experience this, but what happens as we age is our pineal gland calcifies. When it calcifies, that's when you lose creativity, you lose sensation, you lose life force, right, and so you want to do everything you can to help manage the health of your pineal gland, which looks like photo bio modulation.

Speaker 1: 29:45

And I use red lights because I don't have access to watching the sun rise and sunset, and so that's another perfect example of bio hacking. How long? Literally two to five minutes, nothing extreme. And I just put it on my eyes. I look directly in the light and I feel my whole body feels that charge happening, and then from there I go into the day and I try to connect and spend time with my kid and my wife before any meetings happen, and then at about 9, 30 or 10 am I get to it.

Speaker 3: 30:13

Get after it, man. And I started doing the, started looking at the sun when I right, when I wake up, I go outside while I'm brushing my teeth, I'll take a look at the sun. What is that guy's name? Andrew? He's a no, yes, Huberman. That's where I. He was like, yeah, just go outside, look at the sun when it rises. It'll wake you up more. And I was like I need that. Let me try it out. It is.

Speaker 3: 30:38

It's like a cup of coffee in the morning, honestly, just taking a look at the sun and bringing in all those rays. And you do have to catch it at the right time or it's not really set up, but either way, just getting outside, taking some rays in from the sun cannot be a bad thing for you at any time. Getting outside, getting your feet on the ground, seeing the earth and experiencing that. Take a move. I love what you're doing with Happy Life Labs, and now one of the main messages that we're bringing to the listeners today, I think, is that you don't have to be all in just on one thing. We can do different things. You could work a job while you're also building a company or investing in other things, and you can hop around to different things. So let's talk about what you're doing with Varejet now, what that is what you're building, and how do you manage all of these different things that you're doing?

Speaker 1: 31:33

Yeah, technology and executive assistant. So I utilize one of my go bros companies. It's called Rocks RVAs and instead of getting a virtual assistant, you get an MBA qualified person that helps you manage your schedule, your time, everything that's going on, yield responses, things like that. Technology utilizing artificial intelligence and then the power of working on a team and using simple tools that help you accelerate. The hardest thing that I have in my life is scheduling Like literally putting two or three or five ultra high net worth people in the same room and finding that time is like literally one of the hardest things, because once that connection happens, or once that, once someone experiences our jet, or once someone, once I have a consulting call with someone that wants help building out their wellness center or their home space, once those calls happen, there's probably 95 to 99% chance of something good happening. It's just literally about getting them on the calendar. So that's a simple way to do it. It's not expensive, by the way, and it's worth it. It's like I can't afford not to have this people on.

Speaker 3: 32:53

So what exactly is Varejet? Let's talk about that. What are you?

Speaker 1: 32:57

doing so. It's an airline. People look at it with people, everyone's oh. Is it a jet charter? No, it's like an airline, like United or Southwest or Delta, except for you're utilizing the world's safest, most efficient jet ever created. And I say that because, let's say, something happened to the pilot or the plane. It has an auto land function that's built into it that not only finds the closest airport, but it finds the safest and best airport, based on winds, fuel left, et cetera, et cetera, and safely lands the plane. Let's say that something goes wrong with that system. The whole jet has a parachute, and so there's no loss of life. Right, the jets that we use are carbon fiber versus metal, so we don't have metal fatigue. We have one engine versus two, which is within one pilot versus two pilots, and so all these variables equal a hyper efficient airline, and happy to say that we're the only carbon neutral airline in the world right now. And so the model is democratizing access to private aviation, utilizing the network of private FBOs, which are fuel-based operators all across the country, instead of flying into the 37 class B major hubs that we're used to.

Speaker 1: 34:13

Traveling is only getting worse, right, getting more expensive Securities, getting worse. For some reason, people are not happy at the airport. It's become this Shopping experience or what people just want to get to where they're going. Right, we've just people just want to get to where they're going at least I do and so we're really making that simple and we're doing kind of what FedEx. So FedEx like basically stole the premium package packages away from USPS, like overnight, using technology. We're gonna be where we already started doing that to the first class cabins in United and Delta.

Speaker 1: 34:47

Right, because the cost to fly one of our jets, if you just go online and book it, is $4,000 an hour. That's for the whole plane. So if you and three buddies book a plane, that's $1,000 a person. To go somewhere that's an hour or let's say you do too is $2,000 a person. That experience you guys will never forget and you will probably Immediately book your next flight on rare jet because it's that simple and it's that it's just like the Tesla. It's like the Uber of airlines, right, and it's like the Tesla of your planes super safe, automated, smart, sexy, simple, clean All the things that people want. No flight attendant, no bathroom, but it's just met a jet that's made to get you where you want to go faster.

Speaker 3: 35:29

Dude, that's pretty great. You're able to order your own private jet with your buddies. So that is just the price point, that it's at $4,000 per hour. That's it, no, no other $4,000 plus taxes and whatnot.

Speaker 1: 35:45

Yeah, no, that's for the whole plane. And so what we're doing is that no other private airline has ever been able to do is we utilize our founder and CEO's technology. His name is Richard Cain. He's a brilliant visionary and Zella visionary that can actually execute and make things happen, and so we utilize Technology that he's built over the last 30 years to run our fleet and optimize everything.

Speaker 1: 36:11

So where it's, if you went right now, literally wherever you're at, to go, to just pick a place, it would take somewhere between two days and two weeks to get a quote back from an airline. You go on barajet, it'll take you roughly two minutes and you'll know the cost is what the price is. There's no BS, no, it's just this is what it is and then, well, quickly become a fit official airline of certain organizations we're working on those right now and those groups will get any discounted access to our fleet. You can invest in very jet. Right now we have our be round open, and if you're becoming an investor, the at 500,000, the flight hours go down to $2,500 an hour. It's just undig.

Speaker 3: 36:50

That is, yeah, that's pretty effective, and you get to take part in the company's growth there as well. Man, it's so cool to see these different industries that you're jumping into, because you might say these are Completely different. One is health and one is travel, and one gets you to one place and one just keeps you healthy, makes you more productive, makes you more efficient, gets you into the best version of yourself, and these are two things that you seem to be pretty passionate about and having fun with and finding your way with. So I love that you're not just all in on one thing and that that's just a message to our listeners that one Figure out at least one thing that you can be good at build that stable base for yourself and keep building out on that. But then you can jump into some of these other more fun, different things that you've always wanted to try out and Bring into your life. So I think that is amazing. I think that's awesome.

Speaker 3: 37:50

We are coming up on the last five minutes or so of this interview here. One question that I don't typically ask on the podcast, that that I'm going to ask here as we get into our final questions Do you have any books that you would recommend I don't know if you're a big book reader or what you do there any books specifically that have had a big impact on you in your life?

Speaker 1: 38:16

Yeah, actually, one that I read recently, which is a big one to get through, is called Atlas shrug and it shit, it shifts like the minds. It's a long book, it's a novel. Most people all read it just because it's so long, but it's really Powerful and teaching you like the power of money and how to think about money in a good way. I love Jim Quicks limitless book. I love Jordan Peters 12, 12 rules for life. Those are some amazing books that I can. And then I really tuned into the health space, since Tony Robbins book Life Force is something that everyone should Mm-hmm, definitely check out, just because it's a. It's like a Bible, right for people that want to learn more about all the things. So he's brought some of the best people in the world. And, yeah, atomic habits, atomic Habits, is good. And then who, not how. Those are some great places to start, dude.

Speaker 3: 39:12

Those are awesome. Those are some heavy hitter books. Man, atomic habits who not how? Teaches like tons of different. One is you could be so productive with your day if you use these atomic habits Methods. Who not how? Teaches you how to use other people and leverage other people. And then you mentioned Limitless. There, jim quick, great book. Jordan Peterson man everything that guy brings out is so powerful, bro, cool man Love it. Great suggestions. Last two questions I've got for you here what is one thing that our Listeners can do today to start on their path towards financial freedom?

Speaker 3: 39:56

Just to remember that money is energy and energy creates energy, and You've got to be aligned with that energy to be able to bring it in, to attract that right energy.

Speaker 1: 40:07

Yes agree.

Speaker 3: 40:09

Yes, sir, the last question I've got for you what is one question that you wish I would have asked or a topic that you wish I would have covered in? How would you have expanded on that topic or answered that question?

Speaker 1: 40:22

Something that I like to talk about in my entrepreneurial journey is how to integrate it with being a father and a husband, because I think that's one of the biggest challenges but also one of the biggest gifts, which, in thousand, that family dynamic is something that is Profoundly impacted my life, and in a lot of beautiful ways, with a lot of challenging ways, and so I think there's there's some messages there that and some learnings and some teachings that I would love to share with fellow fathers and new dads out there that are also entrepreneurial and trying to fight the good fight and Support the family and take risks but not feel like your wife thinks you're crazy but she might still think you're crazy. You can get into alignment so you can feel supported and knowing that you're that you, that whatever decisions you make, are Going to support your family. Yeah, I'm just totally committed to be my being my family's hero and like Raising kids that don't have to heal from their child.
