Hey Pal
I had the privilege this past week of being a passenger on a flight where the captain is a well-known Spotify artist. I thought to myself, man, how cool is this? This guy is flying an aircraft and providing the in-flight entertainment. Leverage is a beast.
In this world that's hustling and bustling 24/7, where the grind never stops, and the game never waits for anyone. The secret weapon in this battle, the ace up your sleeve, is leverage.
Think about it. it's like that power multiplier. It's using everything at your disposal - tools, tech, talent - to jack up what you can do, like cranking your abilities to the max.
Take the internet; it’s a beast of leverage. You’ve got a newsletter? Boom! Hit send, and you’re in thousands of inboxes. No sweat. Podcasts? You could be in someone's ears on the other side of the planet, spreading ideas like wildfire. That's leverage. It’s about creating one time and distributing a million times.
It’s not just about casting a wide net. It’s about aligning your efforts like a laser to maximise what comes out the other end. Leverage plays no favourites. It doesn’t care if you're slinging paint on a canvas, coding up the next big app, standing in front of a classroom, or hustling your startup. There's a flavour of leverage for every endeavour.
Living a leveraged life that’s about squeezing every drop of juice out of the time we've got here. Make every tick of the clock count so that what you do, what you say, what you build - it echoes out, it lasts, it makes a mark. And sure, you can start small, but the key is starting with intent.
Elon Musk says that the input and the output must not be equal. If you create one Spotify playlist, but it gets listened to a thousand times, that’s leverage.

Turkish Airlines and its subsidiaries faced a significant setback this past week, cancelling over 100 flights globally due to unexpected technology malfunctions. Passengers experienced considerable disruption and chaos, particularly with departures from Istanbul, as the system issues rippled through the carrier’s worldwide operations.
**China's Aviation Rebound:**
A recent report highlighted a buoyant outlook for China's 'Big Three' airlines: Air China, China Eastern Airlines, and China Southern Airlines. Favourable factors such as lower oil prices, a stable Chinese Yuan, and increased international flight capacity are set to return these airlines to profitability. A surge in flights between the USA and China is also accelerating this international market recovery, reinstating China's competitive stance in the global aviation arena.
**India's Unprecedented Fleet Expansion:**

India is currently leading the world in aeroplane acquisitions, with its top airlines placing orders for nearly 1,000 jets this year. This record-breaking procurement drive reflects tens of billions of dollars invested into expanding the country's aviation capabilities.
**Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 - Aviation Revolution:**
Saudi Arabia's civil aviation authority has implemented new economic regulations, focusing on competitiveness, transparency, and performance enhancement in its air transport sector. These regulations are a strategic part of Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to attract more visitors and transform the kingdom into an aviation hub. The initiatives pave the way for airport privatisation, new investor participation, and deregulated licensing for carriers, anticipating an increased flow of passengers, air cargo, and global events.
**Airbus Range and Efficiency Leap:**
Airbus announced an improvement in the range of its A350-1000 by approximately 180nm, following a max take-off weight increase to 322 tons. This enhancement will extend the aircraft's range to about 8,900nm with full passenger payload, a move that aligns with Qantas' 'Project Sunrise' for direct flights from London and New York to eastern Australia. Additionally, Airbus is in the process of developing a freighter variant based on the A350-1000 design.
**Elon Musk's Privacy Manoeuvres with Private Jets:**

Elon Musk has seemingly ceased using a federal program that allowed him to fly without revealing his jet's movements. The FAA's Privacy ICAO Address (PIA) program, which Musk had participated in since January 2022, hasn't been utilised by him since August 20, 2022. This follows his public discontent with the tracking of his private flights, which culminated in an interaction with a college student who tracked his jets on social media.
**Survival Against the Odds:**
In a dramatic episode of survival, a pilot in Florida managed to endure approximately eight hours on the wing of his Cessna 172 after a nighttime crash landing in the perilous Everglades, surrounded by alligators.
