The Ultimate Jet Guide

0
Aviation #197

Tom is a husband, father, and lover of aviation. When he first started learning about private jets, he noticed there wasn’t a lot of content available for people who wanted real, down to earth, information without any fluff or pomp. He knew that many people were curious before they buy a private jet, and he wanted to be a guide for the curious to the serious and those in between. Tom pulls back the curtain on private aviation to help individuals buy sell or charter jets without wasting time or losing money. 

In 2021 & 2022 Tom was the top producer of his former agency completing over 20 sales each year. In 2023 he started his own agency, Jet Life Aero where he looks to inspire the next generation of private jet brokers. As a former youth pastor, Tom wants to share his experience as a jet broker with others who aspire to change their lives through private aviation, like he did.

    Quality Aviation Content - Excellent Host - Excellent Guests
    This show adds tremendous value to my life and I’m sure others lives as well. The guests are high-quality, and Tom, the host, attentively listens before responding with substance. The audio quality has significantly improved, making it informative and enjoyable. Tom's inquisitive nature shines through when he encounters unfamiliar topics, extracting insights for both himself and the audience. Having listened to thousands of podcast episodes and hundreds of hosts across hundreds of shows, It’s easy to see that Tom possesses the qualities essential for success: honesty, reasonableness, inquisitiveness, information extraction, and smooth segues. Ultimate Jet Guide deserves five stars from me! If you’re someone in the Business Aviation or Private Jet World - this show is for you!

    Awesome
    I recently listened almost all the JetLife with Tom aviation podcast about buying and selling private jets, and it was highly informative. Tom is knowledgeable, offering detailed advice. He addresses a wide range of topics from the cost of a new private jet to the maintenance associated with owning one. He discusses the best methods for finding buyers and sellers, how to negotiate a favorable deal, and the importance of working with a reliable Broker. Overall, I am impressed by the breadth of knowledge shared in this podcast, as well as their ability to explain complex topics in an easy-to-understand manner. If you're in the market for a private jet or just curious about what it takes to own one, I'd highly recommend giving this podcast a listen!
