(Transcript) The Blind Spot: EPISODE 12 | Pivoting in Life and Business with Matt Marcus of Three Kings Tattoo
I literally never met Matt Marcus (Matty No Times) before we sat down for this interview, but he is immediately my brother. Such a like-minded conversation about being a business owner before, during, and potentially after the pandemic. We’re coming from opposite sides of the country and operating in completely different industries, but we dug into so many topics that have touched both of our lives and which I hope will resonate with you as well.
Yes, stress-free air travel is still possible.
Private aviation shines like a beacon of light in the currently murky world of air travel. From schedule flexibility, direct routes, and lack of crowded terminals or security lines, to the newly important distancing from anyone outside of your ‘quaran-team,’ or the simple ability to remove your mask and have a refreshment en route. It’s estimated that there are an average of 700 points-of-contact with other people and objects during a commercial flight, and between 20 and 30 when flying privately. Thus private charter offers a dramatic reduction in potential for exposure, as well as relief from the emotional turmoil of the commercial airline experience.
