The Brotherhood of the Crest: How Golf Logos Spark Lifelong Connections By Abdol Moabery

Golf isn’t just a sport to me. It is a passion, a passport, and, at times, a personal form of meditation. I’ve chased this game across six continents, walking fairways in the shadow of mountains, along dramatic ocean cliffs, and through ancient woodlands. I’ve had the privilege of teeing it up at some of the most iconic and exclusive clubs in the world. These are places where history, architecture, and natural beauty come together to… Read more

Redefining Commercial Aircraft “Mid-Life” Assets: Emphasizing Maturity and Proven Value By Marc Cho

In the fast-paced and dynamic world of commercial aviation investment and finance, the terminology used to describe an asset class or segment can have meaningful implications. One commonly used term, “mid-life aircraft,” often carries connotations that fail to accurately reflect the value, performance, and economic potential of these assets versus some undefined age metric, typically an asset over 12 years of age. It’s time for the industry to shift its narrative and recognize these assets… Read more

The Distinct Paths of Business Owners and Entrepreneurs: A Deep Dive into the Curse of a Mind That Never Shuts Off – By Abdol Moabery

I am constantly asked about my view on entrepreneurship.  So, I think it is important to make an important distinction first.

Understanding these differences can illuminate the unique challenges each faces, particularly the entrepreneur’s relentless pursuit of continuous innovation, improvement, and expansion.

Coast 2 Coast – Across Ireland on 2 Wheels / By Justin Lambourne

Coast 2 Coast – Across Ireland on 2 Wheels / By Justin Lambourne

I have always enjoyed cycling, its sense of nostalgia takes me back to being a child roaming the streets on my BMX during the endlessly rainy school holidays (I grew up in the UK, remember). Its shared history with aviation inspires me, the Wright Brothers were bike mechanics that learnt to fly (one of the Wright Brothers innovations – the left-handed pedal thread, is still used on almost all bikes today). In the golden ages… Read more
