How Lea Used Private Jets to Land Exclusive Interviews and Business Deals
Lea’s network includes celebrities, top business leaders, and industry influencers. She has interviewed Jane Seymour, Guy Fieri, Dan Sullivan, and Robert Kiyosaki, and private jets played a major role in making those connections.
She explains that private jets create an exclusive setting where business leaders can connect, build trust, and make high-stakes decisions faster than any other environment.
The Power of Print Magazines in a Digital World
Lea’s strategy isn’t just about jets. She also leveraged print magazines to build credibility and book speaking engagements.
When she launched Speaker Life Magazine, she used it to stand out from the competition resulting in a 92 percent acceptance rate for speaking gigs.
She shares how print media still holds power, especially in high-end circles where tangible, well-crafted branding makes an impact.
Why Private Jet Memberships Are a Bad Investment
Not all private jet services are created equal. Lea warns against jet memberships, which often overpromise and underdeliver.
Many membership programs sell flights at unsustainable prices, leading to companies going bankrupt and leaving customers stranded.
Instead of memberships, Lea recommends chartering private jets through reputable companies or investing in aircraft ownership for tax benefits.
The Hidden Tax Benefits of Private Jet Ownership
Owning a private jet isn’t just about convenience, it can also be a major financial advantage.
Lea explains how business owners can write off jet purchases, depreciate assets over five years, and generate revenue by chartering their aircraft.
For high-net-worth entrepreneurs, private jet ownership can be a game-changing investment that combines luxury, convenience, and financial benefits.
Lea believes private aviation is one of the most overlooked marketing tools.
From hosting elite masterminds to flying high-value clients, private jets create unforgettable experiences that lead to long-term business relationships.
