We were just talking to you at F1.
I mean, this is going to be jam packed today, but jet 365 is a global luxury aviation company, uh, based in the U S dedicated to transforming private air travel, which a lot of the people I know are going to that versus the normal commercial. But Alessandro, what was the spark for entrepreneurship and why this industry?
Yeah, I'll tell you, I've always been like an entrepreneurial spirit. I always had a passion for private aviation, never had the money to do it. My first company did pretty well, put myself through flying school and I became like a fully licensed commercial pilot all in one year.
