In this segment, the speaker recounts a recent encounter where a prospective buyer discovered their jet brokerage on TikTok, presented a $25 million offer, and asked for assistance in completing the purchase. The buyer also requested a contingency contract to find a comparable jet if the deal fell through. The experience surprised the speaker, highlighting how social media can generate high‑value leads and signaling a broader shift: younger generations are leveraging fast‑moving digital platforms to achieve business success much more quickly than in the past. The speaker reflects on the rapid evolution of the market and the need to adapt traditional thinking.

We've had a guy walk in the door here and say, you know, I saw you guys on TikTok yesterday and I'm looking to buy this jet. I made this offer 4 days ago. I don't know if it's going to succeed, but what do you think? And he showed us the offer and we told him, you know, you made a mistake. You should have done this, this, and this. And then he right away said, listen, I'll tell you what, I'm going to pay you this much if you help me buy this airplane. But if it doesn't go through, I want to sign a contract with you to go out and find me another one of these jets. And he's talking about something in the $25 million area. And the guy saw me on TikTok. So it slapped me in the face and woke up and said, wow, this is where the world's going. And now all my friends, you know, I tell them, when your kids tell you, you really don't know what's going on, Dad or Mom. You're like, shut up, I've been around for all these years. You know what, they're kind of right. We can't think the way we've always thought before. The world's evolving, it's changing, and it's changing very, very quick. When you're young, you really can have a real chance to succeed quicker and without all of the things that were required to have 30 years, 40 years ago.
