but those three things to me in many ways dictated why you<br />

couldn’t do it alone. NetJets allowed me to actually keep my<br />

travel super-simple and easy: Getting from A to B as quickly<br />

as possible, avoiding transit, and saving enormous time, which<br />

allowed me to return, to be more rested, which in turn helped<br />

me play better, have a better career, and, indeed, extend my<br />

career—call it a competitive advantage. So, for me, NetJets<br />

has just been wonderful, especially having had children on the<br />

back end, the second part of my career – NetJets just made<br />

life so much easier by being able to take them along, avoiding<br />

the trials and tribulations of brutal transits, losing luggage,<br />

you name it. So, I think it has been wonderful and when I step<br />

onboard now, it still feels like a privilege. It’s something I don’t<br />

take for granted but it feels familiar, like an extended family: I<br />

know a lot of the pilots by now, a lot of the stewardesses, you<br />

know—we’ve seen each other before.<br />

BACK TO YOUR COLLABORATIONS: YOU ALSO HAVE<br />

A NEWLY SIGNED DEAL WITH OLIVER PEOPLES.<br />

Honestly, it’s a project that I’m really excited about—<br />

something that I’ve been thinking about for a great many<br />

years: The idea of building up a sunglasses brand. I always<br />

thought Oliver Peoples would be the one I would love to<br />

partner with the most. And this idea really started to gain<br />

traction once I retired—I finally had the time to put into the<br />

project, because I don’t like to do things half-heartedly.<br />
