Chapters

We had about 2,500 restaurants. We did that business, sold it to this company Yum, which used to be called Tricon. Lasted for about 3 years and finally got out of that industry, which wasn't my cup of tea. When I was here, I started traveling to Russia and Ukraine, finding partners for their fast food brands. And doing that with this business card, which was a big multinational company in the US, I was able to get into all the offices of all these oligarchs. Sometimes I'd see this model of a jet on their desk. Now it got me excited because now I could talk about something I love. I used that calling card to actually meet a lot of people who had jets, and After a while, I just wanted to get back in the airplane business and came up with this idea of a showroom to sort of be different.
