elcome to our Winter issue. It brings me great pleasure to present our feature profile of Bode Miller, the most successful male American alpine ski racer of all time. It was thrilling for our team to travel to Spanish Peaks Mountain Club in Big Sky, Montana, catching up with Miller in the spectacular ski and golf community he now calls home. Bode flourishes in his bold and brazen straightforwardness, in his very lack of gimmicks, both in skiing and in life. The man is the kind of luminary who thrills us most—the athletic achievement is only the tip of the iceberg of awesomeness. We bring to light how Miller navigated the competitive world and the culture at large; early on, he intrinsically perceived that mental strength and stamina lay at the root of physical victory. His is a well-examined life, filled with revelations and teachable moments you will discover in this profile, many lifetimes lived by one remarkable man. Speaking of marquee interviews, you’ll also enjoy diving into our automotive profile on the Lotus Evija All-Electric Hypercar. Featuring an interview with Phil Popham, CEO of Lotus Cars, Jetset’s automotive perspective kicks into high gear as we deliver our thoughtful take on the future of the coveted marque. We are particularly proud to present a timely read with “Major League Moment.” This upbeat feature explores how the major leagues are pivoting to engage fans in inventive ways, entertaining the masses beyond the traditional stadium experience. Mario Alioto, Executive VP of Business Operations with the San Francisco Giants, gave our writer Si Si Penaloza incredible insight into the inner workings of how his organization has adapted to unprecedented challenges. We also go behind the scenes with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Golden State Warriors, learning more about their community involvement and charitable priorities in the face of the pandemic. On the luxury collaborations front, we are delighted to cover the auspicious launch of the Hennessy X.O x Frank Gehry Masterpiece. Our provocative play-by-play captures the genesis of Pritzker Prize-winning architect Frank Gehry’s limited-edition bottle design for the 150th anniversary of Hennessy X.O cognac. And speaking of toast-worthy anniversaries, it’s the most beautiful time of year once again; we are thrilled to celebrate the crowning of our Miss Jetset 2020 Janeilla Burns. As always, it’s an absolute honor to bring you our latest issue. Tap into the Jetset lifestyle every day with compelling online exclusives at Jetsetmag.com. Wishing you all continued prosperity.

The everstylish footballer is known for his sartorial flair, so it’s no wonder that Lapo Elkann, founder of Italia Independent, would want to collaborate with Ronaldo and his personal brand CR7.

HARRY WINSTON Premier Majestic Art Deco Timepiece
Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon, the first ladies’ timepiece in the Audemar Piguet’s Concept collection, comes in either 18-carat pink or white gold. The watch features a frosted gold finish, an eight-sided, diamondset bezel, and a multi-layered dial with a contemporary feel. The elegant timepiece is powered by the watchmaker’s hand-wound Manufacture caliber 2964 movement.
Completely reinterpreted to feature a refined fully-skeletonized, three-dimensional movement, this luxurious timepiece boasts an 18k rose gold case and a tourbillon that has had its balance wheel removed and dramatically relocated to the outside of the cage. Strapped to Sfumato alligator leather from the Pelletteria in Florence, this stunner is limited to just eight pieces.
The Art Deco spirit dominates the magnificent dial of this timepiece, revealing its jazzy geometry. Slivers of white motherof-pearl and glossy black jade, set with precision in a white gold base, unite to form the abstract background. This technique, known as marquetry, allows the sunray design to come to life.

The brushwork speaks to artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat – a striking marriage of textual monogram and abstracted daubs of color.

Ushering in a New Era of Automotive Ingenuity by David Haraldsen
F
rom its humble beginnings in Colin Chapman’s family garage to its iconic mid-engine Esprit model of the 70’s and 80’s, Lotus Cars is a household name in the automotive world. The car maker hasn’t been a significant part of the modern supercar conversation, though – until now. Enter the world’s most powerful production car: the Lotus Evija. Intended as a halo product for the future of Lotus, the Evija (meaning “the first in existence”) is jam-packed with cutting-edge technologies and industry firsts. Earlier this year we spoke with the CEO of Lotus Cars, Phil Popham, to gain an inside look at what inspired the new model and how the Evija is redefining the future of the coveted marque.

JETSETMAG.COM
“It’s a fantastic brand with a really exciting future… It’s a great time to be at Lotus.” - Phil Popham, Lotus Cars CEO
Popham admits he was initially hesitant to join Lotus. Like many auto manufacturers, the company had seen its share of ups and downs, changing ownership several times before finding a home with its current parent company, multinational conglomerate Geely Group. Popham says it was a visit to China to meet with Geely’s board that convinced him the chance to revive the Lotus brand was too good to pass up. After joining Lotus in 2018, Popham embarked on his first major initiative: creating a signature statement piece that would remind the public of the brand’s capabilities. The Evija fills that bill and beyond. The Evija is equal parts exotic hypercar and jaw-dropping work-ofart. The world’s most powerful EV features the longest piece of carbon fiber ever used in a production car to create the vehicle’s ultra-lightweight monocoque. Powered by four torque-vectoring enabled electric motors, one at each wheel, the Evija produces a staggering 1,972 horsepower and more than 1,250 lb-ft of torque from its all-electric powertrain. Utilizing the most energy-dense battery technology available anywhere, the Evija features a unique center-mounted, verticallystacked battery configuration that evokes the feeling of a mid-engine race car. Optimized thermal dynamics enable long power draws from the batteries without the performance loss often found in electric vehicles. The Evija also offers impressive charging capabilities, with an 80% refill possible in under twelve minutes on a 350kW supercharger. With a top speed north of 200mph and the ability to move from 0-186mph in under 9 seconds, the Evija requires a custom set of Pirelli Trofeo R tires. Magnesium wheels with center-lock lug nuts offer further weight reduction and provide a rigid foundation at high speeds. Adaptive suspension with extra dampers optimizes heave and pitch to maintain a stable ride during braking and acceleration. The Evija’s exterior is breathtaking, and aerodynamics are inherently a key design cue. Intricate layers of carbon fiber throughout the front splitter carve through the air and reduce drag, while channels on each side of the hood direct air to the front tires and along the sides of the vehicle before reaching the sculpted rear air ducts. The futuristic ISSUE ISSUE 42 .. 2020 2017

Takeoff // Speed
body design of the Evija does more than just turn heads, though. It also manages to perfectly streamline the air flow surrounding the vehicle for maximum drag reduction and optimized downforce. At the rear of the Evija, artistic tail lights that mimic a fighter jet’s afterburners are seamlessly integrated into the aerodynamics of the body. A massive rear diffuser incorporates a sleek fog light, and DRS flaps are accessed by a button on the steering wheel. The “T” on the rear Lotus badging serves as the vehicle’s reverse light, and a second hidden high-level brake light beneath the active rear wing keeps the car road-legal when the spoiler is fully deployed at speed. A rear glass panel reveals the cleverly placed battery layout where an engine would be on a petrol-powered supercar. The Evija’s teardrop shaped cabin incorporates ultra-modern technology and world-class ergonomics for perfect positioning and optimal driver performance. Video screens on each electronicallypowered dihedral door panel replace traditional rearview mirrors and are linked to integrated pop-out cameras on each side and at the back of the model. A racing-style steering wheel and floating center cluster provide access to the vehicle’s controls, with a single-screen display delivering information about the Evija’s performance. The hypercar offers five unique driving modes: Eco, City, Tour, Sport, and Track, while the beam-style dashboard uses an open-aired wishbone design to offer more cabin space and streamline the instrument panel. Only 130 of the groundbreaking Lotus Evija will be produced at the company’s purpose-built Hethel facility in England’s Norfolk countryside. If your affinity for high speed hypercar performance has you craving the latest and greatest, Lotus is ready to meet the moment and reclaim pole position as the crème de la crème of electrified superiority. After all, this one is “For the Drivers.”

the latest in Heesen’s 5000 Aluminium FDHF class By Anne-Marie Pritchett

h
eesen, renowned Dutch shipyard, introduces Project Altea as the latest in their 5000 Aluminum FDHF class. At just under 500GT with a displacement of around 32 tons, the 50m motor yacht can reach a top speed of 19.5 knots as a result of two MTU 12V 2000 M72 main diesel engines of 1,080kW each, making it one of the fastest and most economical superyachts in her class.
The impressive vessel takes after her sister ship, Home, in that they both share features such as Nova Plus exterior design and engineering platforms, and the Fast Displacement Hull Form by Van Oossanen. But there are several features that set Altea apart — particularly the above-mentioned dual engines that allow for a top speed of almost 20 knots with a range of just over 3,700nmi. Omega Architects’ sleek exterior design showcases a long waterline and floor-to-ceiling windows, while Cristiano Gatto’s interior design offers a calm, modern luxury that perfectly complements the contemporary exterior. The Italian designer chose Canaletto and American walnut to cover both flooring and walls while textiles of leather, silk, and velvet in soft neutral tones of blues, greys, browns, and whites invite guests to unwind and relax in luxury. A common theme across the design of Altea is large, uninterrupted views throughout the ship, particularly in the main salon, living room, large dining room, and owner’s state room. This suite features
a private his/her office, and chic bathroom complete with titanium travertine stone surfaces, a large shower stall with integrated seating, and indirect lighting. Many of the yacht’s open-air areas feature the same fine craftsmanship and top-tier materials that make all Heesen interiors so attractive. The sun deck is equipped with customary bar and dining facilities, while the bridge deck has sofa seating. The aft deck provides an area for alfresco dining, and the sky lounge has a bar unit with panoramic windows. A swim platform, beach club, and hot tub give guests several places to lounge about. For those looking for adventure on the high seas, tenders and toys are stored on the open foredeck with a recess for the limo tender, and deck space for a jet ski. The lower deck has five en suite guest cabins including a fullbeam VIP suite, and accommodations for eight crew members in four cabins, not including the captain’s cabin on the bridge deck. Altea is in build, for sale, and scheduled for delivery Spring 2021.

Combining state-of-the-art security with consummate luxury, The Oppidum is a massive fortress concealed in a quiet valley in the Czech Republic. The largest knownsuch facility on Earth is set up to protect its inhabitants for up to 10 years. This secret shelter provides an above-ground residential estate protected by multiple high-security systems and a two-story underground bunker. Among the luxury features are a theater, wine cellar, library, spa, swimming pool and a garden with simulated natural light.
As one of the homes in the DoomsDay Dwellings series devised by Colorado-based architecture firm F9 Productions, the Genesis House allows six adults and nine children to not only survive but thrive for 10 years in the aftermath. The design uses large hydraulic pumps to lower the sleek home underground to connect with its survival system that is already in place. Genesis is covered by a blast resistant cap and the interior is centered around a swimming pool surrounded by luxurious vegetation.
A large community of 575 private military-built bunkers is nestled in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Vivos xPoint is a massive, completely off-grid complex that was an Army bomb and munitions storage from 1942 to 1967. The 18-square miles of secure land area will accommodate over 5,000 people. Each buried bunker includes a bulkhead wall with a steel blast door entrance. Private bunkers allow for customizable residences with high-end finishes and LED screens that give the illusion of skylights and windows.

isionary and world-renowned architect Frank Gehry is a legend of our modern era. His design philosophy relates to art, humanity, and time as he sets out to enlighten and enrich the human experience. Gehry’s approach to architecture leads with the desire to elicit feelings and emotions from his works, while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of expectation as he opens the doors of reinterpretation of the classics. With an evocative approach, Gehry still honors and respects the surrounding environment and cultural heritage of all his works, from massive structures, like the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, Walt Disney Concert Hall, and The Foundation Louis Vuitton, to small-scale projects like high-end spirit decanters and exclusive jewelry by Tiffany and Co. The Hennessy Maison has a longstanding appreciation of both traditional and unconventional design when it comes to artist collaborations. Last year, the cognac house partnered with contemporary graffiti artist Felipe Pantone who worked with illusionism to create everchanging configurable art for the V.S. Collector’s Edition. Also in 2019, sculptor Arik Levy crafted an exquisitely designed crystal decanter and service ensemble for Paradis Impérial that evoked a sensory experience of elegance and emotion. In their latest collaboration, Hennessy asked Gehry to reinterpret and recreate the Hennessy X.O decanter in celebration of the blend’s 150th anniversary. When the Pritzker Prize-winning architect traveled to Cognac to get a visual history of the Maison JETSETMAG.COM
and the bottles that came before, he gained a new perspective and appreciation for the centuries of hands-on personal involvement. “I know great wineries, and this is another level,” said Gehry about the precise art of distillation and selection. “It’s not hocus pocus. It is very beautiful. It’s like a very solid commitment to do something special.” This hands-on personal approach, emotional commitment, and storied history led Gehry on a journey to honor the past while celebrating Hennessy’s innovation and commitment to the future. For the design of the X.O decanter, Gehry drew inspiration from the Charente River that runs through the Hennessy Maison, along with the chalky soil that nourishes the vines to thrive. With both audaciousness and thoughtful discipline, Gehry captures movement, energy, and light with the design of the exclusive Hennessy X.O x Frank Gehry Masterpiece. It was important to the architect for every detail to be handmade in order to personify the handcrafted quality of Hennessy X.O. He and his team meticulously developed the cast metal mold to form the 24-carat gold-dipped bronze cover. Along with manipulating the decanter design, Gehry added a striking fractured-glass glorifier, used to showcase the vessel, and a brass and gold fusil, to reflect the cellar master’s ritual of extracting a small portion of the cognac to taste. To Gehry, the actual masterpiece is the X.O (extra old) liquid ‘gold’ inside the bottle that was first blended 150 years ago. “I wanted to bring it [the cognac] to life, and so I took inspiration from its birthplace

In true Gehry fashion, the packaging for this $17,000 bottle of cognac pays homage to the work he did with corrugated cardboard furniture in the 1970s. This case creates a 3D effect that truly elevates the entire design to the next level. To further celebrate the milestone, Hennessy presented “A World Odyssey,” a spectacular event hosted in Cognac along the Charente River. Here Cai Gui-Qiang composed a colorful fireworks display titled ‘The Birth of Tragedy,’ where he honored the human spirit that embraces and rejoices in life’s harmony with nature, while simultaneously acknowledging the pain life can impart. In the demonstration, 20,000 shots of fireworks were launched from 150 floating oak barrels to carry a message of resilience and optimism. The Hennessy X.O Frank Gehry Masterpiece was unveiled at this event on September 25, 2020, in France.

With Hennessy X.O, connoisseurs can enjoy a multisensorial experience that takes each person on their own journey through sweetness, warmth, heat, a chocolate lull, spicy edge, wood notes, and, finally, a long, oaky finish that eighth generation master blender, Renaud Fillioux de Gironde, describes as “creating ‘an infinite echo’ of the subtleties of each flavor and the complexity of Hennessy X.O’s blending and long aging process.” 150 individually numbered decanters with Gehry’s signature will be auctioned to support Unfinished Business, a new charitable initiative that provides immediate relief and long-term support to Black, Asian, and Latinx small-business owners who have struggled through the coronavirus pandemic. For more information visit Hennessy.com. A wider release of the limited-edition Hennessy X.O Frank Gehry-designed decanters will launch worldwide in the future to further celebrate the 150th anniversary of one of Hennessy’s oldest blends.

Overlanding the American Southwest By si si penaloza photography by Douglas Olear

here has never been a more meaningful time to make the journey the primary goal, the reason itself. In the face of news cycles that sensationalize without regard for national sanity, the silence and geological gravitas of the Grand Canyon never lies. This is the golden age of overlanding possibilities. Eager to pull the ripcord on your first overlanding trip, but unsure if it suits your style? Meet the Black Series HQ19, the travel trailer cool enough to host drivers Sam Bird and Daniel Abt in between Formula One heats. Indeed, this off-road headquarters is worthy of an Alpinestars Retreat; imagine five Black Series campers circling a central firepit like Silicon Age stagecoaches. Motorsport executives and rising athletes mingling over single malts and toasted marshmallows; Black Series sure knows how to spark joy. Eight days, three states, 1200 Miles; off-road and off the grid, never once connecting to shore power. My husband Douglas and I depart from our home in Orange County, with a final destination atop Zion National Park. The HQ19 proved both beauty and a beast. Beauty JETSETMAG.COM
mode had us sleeping on a queen bed, adorned with a sensual black quilted leather headboard. Beast mode had us climbing 8,000 feet to Kolob Reservoir, Utah. The key to the trailer's peak performance is chassis and clearance. Built like an M4 Sherman blazing the battle of El Alamein, the HQ19's tank-like suspension chewed up challenging terrain changes like chowder. Venturing anywhere the beefed-up Toyota Tundra towed it, the trailer handled adversity like a champ. The HQ19's finest hour of horizontal hedonism isn't even in the bedroom, chic as it may be. It all lies in the slide-out exterior cooking station. On the culinary front, this camper trailer is a chef's dream. Scarred from surviving on cereal and sandwiches from 80s family camping? Think again. Black Series is a far cry from surviving on basic "one pot" rations. The HQ19 is designed to thrive in gourmet splendor, from Big Sur to Sequoia. This European style gas range is sophisticated enough to finesse a silky Hollandaise, surrounded by Joshua Trees, the way we did on the first leg of our trip. Eggs Benny and beyond; sky's the limit with this sweet set-up.
These days, the value of a shift in scenery cannot be overstated. To avoid crowds in National Park campgrounds, I turn to Grand Canyon backcountry options on Hipcamp, a booking app offering up a national network of campsites on private land. Think Airbnb for rural and recreational landowners. Jay-Z’s Marcy Venture Partners and Will Smith’s Dreamers VC have invested in Hipcamp (Series B raise of $25 million led by Andreessen Horowitz, at a valuation of $127 million). Scrolling through options, Sköll Base Camp South Rim had me at hello. The site looked to have ample real estate for the HQ19’s considerable length of 26 feet. On arrival, host Heidi Kaiser emerges from the pinyon pines like a vision, wearing a flowing floral caftan, reminiscent of Jane Birkin in her boho years. The hushed topography of her land fans out like a lotus of relaxation—an idyllic antidote to caffeine and carbon monoxide. Kaiser has artfully set up hammocks, picnic areas, reading tents, and sculptural vignettes, giving her campsite a deep sense of place. As Douglas sets up the onboard awning, I prep our well-traveled Swissmar fondue set for the first night on South Rim. As gruyere melts and mingles with Sauvignon Blanc over open flame, my heart melts at the sight of the Milky Way. We’re camped at the heart of an IDA International Dark Sky Community, and stargazing couldn’t be more spectacular.
Waking up in HQ19's high finesse interior feels surreal at first. The wilderness beyond our trailer door looms untamed; yet this bedroom couture looks fit for Brady and Bundchen at Burning Man. High gloss timber enamel cabinetry and marinegrade genuine leather lend elegance, while a gorgeous chromeclad bathroom suite with full shower is well laid out, offering ample storage. The dizzyingly equipped stainless steel kitchen rivals most urban starter condos—a full size fridge, stovetop, oven, microwave. After two nights of gracious hospitality, we study the route to Zion, a steep, winding dirt road to put the HQ19 to the ascent test. A design born of the Australian outback and made in Los Angeles, the Black Series vibe has me reminiscing on Mad Max Fury Road premiere trips to Sydney. Kolob Campground is Hipcamp's heavyweight champ in Utah. Navigating three hairpin turns proves thrilling; we pull into the camp’s private gated area on the shores of Kolob Reservoir wearing a patina of red dust we’re secretly proud of. Adjacent to Kolob Reservoir’s boat ramp, the campground includes four acres of private shoreline. ISSUE 4 . 2020

An ideal base to bask in the multisport paradise of Greater Zion, I was at first drawn to photos of Kolob Camp’s watersports. What really reeled me in? Camper reviews of a Renaissance man of a Hipcamp host named John Blake. Kolob Campground has been in the Blake family for 80 years; John’s grandfather reserved this beloved parcel from 4,000 working acres as the family’s recreational haven. The residue of this emotional footprint runs deep here, even casual visitors feel it. With upbeat smiles and stories, one senses this clan is genuinely keen to share this exceptional wonderland with those who appreciate it. The Blake family embodies Hipcamp’s cultural shift in cultivating kinship via outdoor enthusiasm. At Kolob, seasoned adrenaline junkies find every flavor of adventure—slickrock mountain biking, red rock canyoneering, ice diving, kayaking, paddle boarding, and trout fishing. Case in point, Red Bull Rampage has been hosted 20 miles from where we’re camped. Mountain biking’s truest test of skill and mental toughness, this invitation-only freeride competition has evolved over 18 years to become the sport’s most coveted title. The brain trust behind the larger Kolob lifestyle campus—John Blake, Ian Crowe, and Chris Peterson—are guided by a spirited, sovereign sense of land and legacy. Adventurers at heart, kinship and JETSETMAG.COM
creativity inspires their collaborative fraternity. Akin to an Alpine A-Team, each member brings a unique and invaluable specialty. These landowners see a mindful way forward for the region, slowing the footprint to sensitive areas while broadening the reach where it makes sense. For the first time in generations, travelers-in-the-know can relish in Kolob Mountain’s literal hidden gems, long obscured by private property. Level up your climbing wall game with the very recent debut of Peterson’s Angels Leading Ledgewalk. This guided hike via ferrata gives hikers monumental, otherwise impossible views of a dramatic canyon cut by Kolob Creek. Via ferrata translates to “iron path” in Italian; hikers climb or descend metal rungs while hooked to safety cables by two lanyards. With the soft launch of the Ledgewalk and a future mountain bike trail in development, the survivalist ambition of 2020 meets the values of the 1950s—solid, sound, business building fundamentals. Matt Behling, the human hammer behind the iron rungs (try categorizing that LinkedIn), suits us up in climbing harnesses outside Kolob General Store. We hop in a baller Kawasaki recreational vehicle for the Ledgewalk trailhead, a 10-minute thrill ride in itself. We hike north and clip into our first cable. At first glance, the snafu of steel

Takeoff // Charter may intimidate; but 15 minutes in, I can conjure my intrepid eightyear-old niece clipping in beside me, interpreting rungs with her signature sass. Chris Peterson’s vision for this iron architecture essentially enables me to trek into the beloved Smithsonian dioramas of my childhood. I stand on the ledge of a Mountain Lion habitat, witnessing the predator's sweeping view into the canyon below; my spine tingles wildly. The sheer drama of the rock face is stupefying, sienna and slate tones stain the flat mineral face like avant garde art. Gingerly at first, then clicking carabiners like a gunslinger at sundown, I traverse through ponderosa pines to an eagle’s view of a rather dramatic waterfall. Doug murmurs under a canopy of Aspens, “You haven’t been this lit up since Kachina Peak.” Somewhere along the steel line, I release from the civilian grid and all its rules, tuning into a rhythm and cadence I haven’t felt since my last powder trip. Welcome to Jedi Camp, Zion style. Guide Matt Behling is Obi Wan Kenobi, I am Young Skywalker. Ah, the hubris that comes with hanging at California Condor cruising altitude with a fearless heart (the critically endangered vulture has been spotted here). Coming down from Angels on high, we indulge in a quick, ceremonial dip in the lake. High octane athletes exhale, there’s a

Giantex washing machine onboard the HQ19, cleverly hidden in the bathroom vanity. Spinning my swimsuit in this futuristic box reminds me of the Four Seasons Scottsdale spa, where a water extractor unit fits right in. How wild, doing laundry next door to an elk breeding ground. Later by the campfire, John’s brother Richie regales us with tales of Blake family reunions over traditional wood fired pizza in the woods. The hand mortared artisanal oven holds pride of place on the family's personal campsite near their Hipcamp, built by local scout troop leaders in appreciation for the use of their land. Richie’s warm conviviality draws me in; he wells with pride as he describes his son Logan’s acceptance to his alma mater, the United States Merchant Marine Academy. I get teary as he describes coaching a high school wrestling prodigy all the way to West Point. The next morning, Richie's wrestling acumen came in handy with the trailer hitch. Our only hiccup with the HQ19 was getting used to the specialized off-road style hitch. Leveraging his anaconda arms and torpedo calves, our host tackled the hitch onto the 4 tonne HQ19 like Rams' defensive ace Aaron Donald on his 75th career sack. Talk about a heart pounding send off we won’t soon forget. Get your overlanding adventure on the books; nothing hits the reset button quite like a week off the grid.

America’s Pro Leagues Rise in Reinvention By Si Si Penaloza

any of our most meaningful memories are wrapped up in playing sports and supporting our teams. I grew up a basketball buff, spending every Christmas Day watching the NBA’s LA Lakers as part of family festivities. I became a rabid football fan in 2019, the year of NFL 100 celebrations. In 2020, the world unceremoniously changed; every ballpark, stadium, and rink suddenly went dark.

t’s exceedingly unfathomable to predict the impact of coronavirus on the future of sports. The ground beneath every league seemingly shifts, sometimes seismically, with every news cycle. With fresh air, future-forward exploration in mind, we spoke with sports and entertainment executives on pivoting to engage fans in inventive ways. How are teams creatively connecting with their audience beyond the traditional stadium experience? Despite being on the rollercoaster of his career, when he should be doing victory laps in his third act, Mario Alioto, Executive VP of Business Operations with the San Francisco Giants, remains philosophical. “We’re all experiencing this collectively, and it is forcing us to think differently,” he observes on our call. “This crisis jolted everyone in our sport out of their routines; in a way, it’s kind of healthy to gain perspective.” Alioto’s candid candor is a refreshing antidote to the usual canned sound bite. This is, after all, the man credited with baseball’s first bobblehead giveaway. Back in 1999, as the Giants prepared for their final season in Candlestick Park, Alioto wanted to mark the occasion with a retro-themed promotion. He struck marketing gold with the Willie Mays bobblehead, and the rest is history. “One of my mentors used to say, ‘Don’t forget you’re in the fun business’. Our ballpark fans are such a big part of the game,” he explains. “Without fans in the stands, athletes feel like they’re playing in a vacuum. Turns out, there’s something quite profound in the reciprocity of tidal energy between team and live audience.” “There’s no doubt our Giants are feeling the absence of a supportive crowd,” he reveals. “Especially for a home team. The mass momentum fuels our team; that’s the essence of home-field advantage.” Speaking of home fans, any apprehension about whether cut-outs would resonate quickly dissipated. “Our fans embraced it. It’s a sign that seat culture at Oracle Park lives on,” he beams. “We have a core community that thrives on experiencing the season together. Essentially, that seat is their ‘summer home’. Giants fans are made up of friends and families that have been sitting together for years, some even decades.”
“WITHOUT FANS IN THE STANDS, ATHLETES CAN FEEL LIKE THEY’RE PLAYING IN A VACUUM.”
- MARIO ALIOTO
“I have four kids, who are now in their early 20s; their stadium sensibility was so different from my home games with my grandfather,” Alioto shares. “For teens today, the ballpark is a social hub where they catch up with friends. They may not be riveted by every play, but they still want to be next to the action. The young customer wants total flexibility. They’re always multitasking; socializing in between snippets of excitement on the diamond.” In speaking with Steve Brener, a veteran of the Los Angeles sports scene for more than four decades, I breathe a sigh of relief. The kids are alright; they’re on Zoom with the Dodgers. “The key for us has been social media,” Brener says. “We set up a weekly Zoom for our Dodgers to stay in touch with their fanbase. The 1988 Championship team call with Kirk Gibson and Mike Scioscia was especially memorable.” Brener has worked on 30 Super Bowls, the NHL Winter Classic, and the PGA Tour’s Humana Challenge. The LA native began his career in the early 1970s as the Dodgers’ Director of Publicity, and still represents the club through his own firm. ISSUE 4 . 2020

“WE HAVE A CORE COMMUNITY THAT THRIVES ON EXPERIENCING THE SEASON TOGETHER.” - MARIO ALIOTO
Women within the Dodgers organization have emerged as absolute powerhouses. Leading the team’s civic efforts, Naomi Rodriguez, VP of External Affairs and Community Relations, spearheaded support of LA’s COVID-19 response by hosting the county’s largest testing site at Dodger Stadium, serving as a vital staging area for LAPD and LAFD. Fresh off their ESPY Award for “Sports Humanitarian Team of the Year,” Nichol Whiteman, CEO of the Dodgers Foundation, partnered with Helping Hands Community to deliver over 22,000 meals directly to 400 Inglewood homes. At press time, cut-outs have raised $1,765,717 for the Dodgers Foundation, helping local families in need. Over in Las Vegas, after four years of negotiations followed by over two years of construction, Allegiant Stadium, the Raiders’ “field of dreams,” is finally a physical reality. Just as live entertainment was forced to go virtual. In an achingly absurd, sobering plot twist worthy of the Coen Brothers, the sexiest stadium in the world will have to wait to power flex. A bit like the Death Star, befitting the Silver and Black; because nothing keeps Raider Nation down. Back in March, ROKiT Phones treated unsuspecting Raider fans to a major league surprise with a cryptic red phone booth outside Caesars Palace. Fans who took the bait were floored to find Raiders safety Johnathan Abram and defensive end Maxx Crosby on the line. Abram, Crosby, and the Raiderettes then came out in person for peak perks.

The Raiders remain one of the strongest brands in the NFL; ripe with legacy and lore that enthralls such a wide range of ages, races, genders, and ethnicities. Over 100 superfans, dressed in full Raider regalia on a 108-degree afternoon, took to the steps of the new stadium for a fellow fan’s marriage proposal video. For better or worse, in sickness and health, epitomizes this overzealous “ride or die” fanbase. On the bright side, the eight home games still present opportunities for local hotels. Caesars Entertainment—one of the largest resort chains in Las Vegas and the first founding partner of Allegiant Stadium—continues to innovate clever new ways to host player and cheerleader appearances. While the American sports industrial complex digs deep to find its compass, revival and revenue lies in the long game. For many franchises, it’s become more vital to prove relevant to their home base community. Pushing pause on self-promotion, the best led organizations have risen to stand on the right side of history, leveraging their considerable platform to urge fans to come together, for each other, as a team.

ADAPTABILITY IS CORE TO SUCCESS
O
ne of the key learnings from this pandemic has been the value of adaptability, in our personal lives and in business. Those of us used to driving into an office every day had to be flexible with our daily routine and learn to work from home. Schools had to adjust to educating their students virtually. We also saw large corporations flex their capabilities to meet urgent needs around the world. Fashion labels like Ralph Lauren and Prada reconfigured their production facilities to produce face masks and isolation gowns. Other companies adapted by making ventilators, hand sanitizer and soap at their manufacturing plants. In ordinary as well as unprecedented times, businesses that are flexible and pivot at the right points have a distinct advantage over those that don’t. In order to move forward successfully in this new reality, there are several core factors businesses will need to consider: Change is inevitable. We’ve heard it before, but it’s worth repeating. Change will happen, whether it’s good change like new market opportunities or difficult change like recessions, wars, natural disasters and pandemics. Companies that are set up to adapt will be more likely to succeed when changes happen.
56
JETSETMAG.COM
It’s essential to address evolving market needs. No market remains the same indefinitely. Consumer needs continuously change and markets fluctuate, which means companies must be ready to pivot in order to meet those changes. A great example is DuPont. It began as a manufacturer of gunpowder as far back as the Civil War. In fact, they supplied much of the gunpowder to the Union Army. The market changed after the war and throughout the ensuing years, DuPont reinvented itself many times to become the multi-industry powerhouse it is today. Technology demands adaption. Advancements in technology are continually requiring companies to adapt their business models. Netflix disrupted the DVD rental market when it brought its streaming service to the market. While the company was once in the DVD rental business, it adapted as technology advanced. It forever changed the way we consume entertainment, while Blockbuster failed to be flexible and ceased to exist. Another example of technology driving adaptation is Microsoft. Updating its software programs like Word and Adobe used to be done by purchasing and installing a CD. As cloud-based technology advanced, the company changed its business model to subscriptionbased software that is more easily and frequently updated.
Brands need to keep up with changing times. The strongest brands consider their relevance, market and competition, and adapt over time. What makes a brand unique and special today, won’t necessarily make it that way 10, 30 or 50 years down the road. Changing customer needs mean companies should update their
brand promise when it’s warranted. Brand language, logos and differentiators also change over time. Organizations that are flexible are more likely to keep their brands relevant without changing who they are at their core.
Products must be kept relevant. From phones to cars to toothpaste, products are changing all the time to meet shifting needs. Ten years ago, we didn’t see many electric vehicles on the road. Today, we see charging stations popping up across the country and longestablished automotive companies diving into the electric vehicle market with gusto. They are adapting to market and environmental demands for cleaner transportation. It’s a great example of how companies must continually re-evaluate their product offering and pivot at key times to remain relevant. It’s vital to monitor the changes coming ahead. No one has a magic crystal ball. Predicting change and what will be needed to adapt to it is not an exact science. That’s why organizations that are set up to strategically adapt their approach, processes and actions are at a distinct advantage. Even when the unpredictable happens, they can better alter their course to respond and remain relevant. We are in unprecedented times that not only call for hg— but demand — adaptability. Whether an organization is dragged into it kicking and screaming, or whether it is leading the charge and positioning itself to respond even faster to future changes, will determine its success. When it comes to adapting to change, you don’t want to be the 1,000-ton aircraft carrier... you want to be the speedboat that can turn on a dime. ISSUE 4 . 2020

his year has been a rollercoaster for every industry. With global economies expecting to shrink significantly throughout the end of the year, it’s the best time to take stock of what real estate can expect as the year closes and what to expect into 2021 and beyond. There are lots of opinions, but in times like this, it is always best to stick with the actual facts and some probable expectations as they relate to those facts. As I like to say, it’s just math. By figuring out what might happen and taking into account things like total jobs permanently lost and potential evictions and mortgages not current, real estate investors may be able to seize opportunities they might not see again in their lifetimes. Let’s start with jobs lost. There are so many online resources for this and one that I personally follow is the Economic Policy Institute or Epi.org. According to EPI, the U.S. economy is still down 10.7 million jobs from where it was in February, before the pandemic hit. Using average monthly job growth over the year ending February 2020 as the counterfactual, the jobs deficit is easily over 12 million. That’s 10.7 million fewer jobs we have than in February, plus 1.4 million jobs we would have added if the recession hadn’t occurred. Further, nearly a quarter million jobs in September—247,000— were temporary jobs related to the decennial census that will disappear in the next few months.

As bad as these numbers are, they understate the economic pain. These counts of the unemployed do not take into account the millions of workers who have left the labor force or were misclassified as employed but not at work or had their hours cut. Only those counted as unemployed can be classified by duration. The economic pain easily extends to over 33 million in the economy today, and that doesn’t include those who had lost their jobs and regained employment but got behind on their bills or those who lost loved ones and providers to illness. The ripple effect of these lost jobs has massive implications on real estate. An estimated 27 percent of adults in the U.S. missed their rent or mortgage payment for July, according to a nationwide survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau weekly over the last three months. Among renters alone, just over one-third (34 percent) said during the waning days of July that they had little to no confidence that they could make their August and September rent payments, a stark measure of the ongoing economic devastation for households stretched to the brink by the coronavirus pandemic. In March of 2020, part of the CARES act was the mortgage relief program or forbearance. Forbearance is when your mortgage servicer, that’s the company that sends your mortgage statement and manages your loan, or lender allows you to pause or reduce your payments for a limited period of time. Forbearance does not erase what you owe. You’ll have to repay any missed or reduced payments in the future. According to Black Knight, who provides integrated technology, services, data and analytics to the mortgage and real estate industry, there have been 6.1 million homeowners who have been in COVID19-related forbearance plans. Of these, 41 percent (2.4M) have since exited, with the vast majority of those borrowers currently performing. Of those who remain past due, 267,000 are in active loss JETSETMAG.COM
mitigation with their lenders. However, nearly 2.4 million properties are 90+ days past due. This is a seriously high concern. Unfortunately, the labor market distress is long from over with COVID-19 still raging on and we are just in beginning of the fallout. The pandemic will most likely extend well into 2021 and many, many businesses will not make it. In the latest Yelp economic report, at least 60 percent (or more than 160,000) of businesses listed on the online directory have closed during the pandemic and will stay shut permanently. So what does all this mean to real estate and what can we do? One of my recent YouTube videos, which went viral at over one million views, was labeled “The 2021 Housing Crash.” In this video, I explain that the reason single family prices are trending up during this pandemic is only because listings are 31 percent lower than normal, the lowest ever recorded, with just three months of housing inventory in the entire nation. Low supply and high demand mean high prices. However, the high inventory is coming. There will soon be a substantial increase in foreclosures, short sales and bank-owned properties. This will happen toward the end of the year and well into 2021 as lenders start foreclosing on delinquent mortgages. People right now are “house rich and cash poor.” The primary difference in this recession verses 2008 is that homeowners have an average of $125,000 in equity (according to Black Knight) due to the recent price increases, but they only have access to it if they can refinance or sell. Interest rates are at an all-time low, but lenders will be cautious on cash out refinances. If these homeowners that have equity in their homes are not employed or are underemployed, then it will be very difficult for them to refinance and they very possibly may turn to a sale to harvest the cash for living expenses or relocations.
Having a home in Vail or Aspen is a lifestyle dream come true. With snow peaked mountains in the winters, lush green springs and summers and colorful aspen trees in the fall, there is never a time without something fun and adventurous for you and your family. Either cozy up by the fireplace in the winter or hit the runs to ski or snowboard. By spring and summer, we are enjoying a multitude of hiking and biking trails along with beautiful golf courses, white water rafting and dining outdoors. Living in these mountain towns for the past 28 years, I can share all sorts of areas and experiences with you. Being in the mountains feels more soulful somehow and the rhythms of life seem to have slowed down especially since Covid has changed our lives.

Right now, homeowners are adapting to a new lifestyle and realizing what doesn’t work in their current home. The global shift toward remote work—and lack of commute—may cause homebuyers to reconsider suburban and even rural living. They’ll also desire more square footage and outdoor space, which is more readily available and affordable in suburban and rural areas. This is creating price bubbles in some rural areas and depressions in many urban cities. I predict that housing inventory will increase in 2021 and 2022 as people list their homes, scoop the equity and migrate to lowercost areas. Millions more will default on existing mortgages that are already very delinquent. This will happen slowly and over time which will start the long slide of declining home prices. As most of us know, we may be facing the most severe housing crisis in its history. According to the latest analysis of weekly U.S. Census data, as federal, state and local protections and resources expire and in the absence of robust and swift intervention, an estimated 30–40 million people in America could be at risk of eviction in the next several months. Many property owners, who lack the credit or financial ability to cover rental payment arrears, will struggle to pay their mortgages and property taxes and maintain their properties. The COVID-19 housing crisis has sharply increased the risk of foreclosure and bankruptcy, especially among small property owners, and has caused long-term harm to renter families and individuals, disruption of the affordable housing market and destabilization of communities across the US.

In the short term, lack of rental income may result in unanticipated costs, and an inability to pay mortgages and property taxes and maintain the property. In the long term, it places small property owners at greater risk of foreclosure and bankruptcy. The bottom line is that many homeowners and renters experiencing financial hardship due to COVID-19 have exhausted their resources and limited funds just as eviction moratoriums, forbearance and emergency relief programs expire. Without continued government intervention, the housing crisis will result in significant harm to renters and property owners. Meaningful, swift and robust government intervention is critical to preventing the immediate and long-term negative effects of the COVID-19 housing crisis on adults, children and communities.

THE KEY TO LIVING A FULFILLING LIFE
BY DR. JOHN DEMARTINI 64
JETSETMAG.COM
Are you being true to yourself and living on the shoulders of giants, or are you living in the shadows of others?
S
ome individuals, on occasion, express feelings of being an “imposter.” They doubt their talents and accomplishments so much that they fear being exposed as partly a fraud. This is often believed to be associated with inauthenticity and a momentarily lowered selfworth. Self-worth and self-confidence are inextricably linked to how congruent you are living in relation to your highest values, so let me start by explaining what those are.
I would love for you to imagine a ladder with seven rungs on it. At the very top of the ladder is your highest value — your top priority, or what action or achievement is most important to you. As you go down the ladder, you have actions that are less valuable, less of a priority and less important to you. The higher something is on your list of values, the more you will tend to be inspired intrinsically from within to act upon it. Think of a young boy who loves video games. He will tend to play them as often as he can without the promise of a reward or fear of punishment because he is intrinsically driven to spend time gaming. It might be a very different scenario if doing schoolwork or completing his chores are lower values for him. Then he might need extrinsic motivation to get them done. So, whatever is highest on your list of values is where you will tend to be more disciplined, reliable, energized and focused. These are areas in which you are likely to be more strategic, innovative, creative, inspired and objective. Areas that are lower on your list of values are where you will tend to procrastinate, hesitate and frustrate. You are also likely to be more subjective and might even try to subordinate to other individuals you perceive to be more talented or more “successful” than you. The result of this is often a diminished sense of self-worth by comparison and what is often referred to as “Imposter Syndrome.”
“TAKE THE TIME TO DEFINE YOUR HIGHEST VALUES AND PRIORITIES AND KNOW WHAT YOUR PRIMARY OBJECTIVES ARE.” You are not here to compare yourself to others. Any time you compare yourself to somebody else, and put them on a pedestal, you will unconsciously inject some of their values into your life. This will tend to cloud the clarity of your own highest values and typically lead you to devalue yourself through self-depreciation and you will tend to live in their shadows. As a result, the probability of you achieving and having self-confidence goes down. And that’s not a mistake or a weakness. It is a normal biological, psychological response to let you know that you’re not living authentically, according to what you truly value most. It’s feedback to let you know that you’re trying to be somebody you’re not — you are momentarily being an imposter. Albert Einstein once said that if you are a cat and expect yourself to swim like a fish and look up to a fish because of their ability to swim, you’re going to beat yourself up. And if you’re a fish and expect yourself to climb a tree like a cat, you’re going to beat yourself up. But if you honor yourself as a cat and have an expectation based on your own highest value as a cat, you’ll be more likely to climb magnificently. So, the moment you’re authentic and set goals that are congruent and aligned with what’s authentic to you, your self-worth, confidence, achievements and leadership all tend to go up. But the moment you compare yourself to others, try to live in their values and try to be somebody you’re not, you are designed to self-depreciate to associate pain and frustration with inauthenticity.

You’re not here to be second at being somebody else. Instead, it would be wise to be first at being who you are, to live congruently with your highest values, and to honor yourself as you are — and who you are at any moment in time — for your ontological identity revolves around what you value most. Many people don’t know what their highest value or values are, and no two people have the same hierarchy of values. I would love for everyone to take the FREE Demartini Value Determination Process on my website, which will take you step by step through the process to assist you in identifying your true highest values. Then, once you are clear on your unique list of highest values, you can begin making mindset shifts that will help you to lower the probability of comparing yourself with others. Instead, you will feel more inspired to compare your own actions to your own highest values and begin spontaneously filling your day with highpriority actions that truly inspire you, instead of low-priority actions that don’t. It’s wise and absolutely essential that you stick to what is truly a priority in your life and go after objectives that you embrace resiliently, objectively and neutrally, where you are not highly infatuated or highly resentful, not trying to change yourself relative to others or trying to change others relative to yourself. It’s essential to become centered and more present if you want to begin or continue expressing your most confident greatness. Plus, much of your self-depreciating, phobic or limited belief constructs are simply because you are judging others and elevating their positions. If you

get focused on what’s truly a priority in your life and stick to it, you may find that you transcend your so-called low self-esteem — which is actually an essential feedback response — to return you to your highest value and authenticity. What follows are a few action steps and practical ways that you can begin implementing them once you have completed the Demartini Value Determination Process. I learned many years ago to set goals that are broken down into smaller bites if you want to dramatically increase your likelihood of achieving them. It would be wise for you to break big projects down into small bites and live sequentially and by priority each day — your own priorities, according to your own highest values. Many individuals underestimate the power of living by priority on a daily basis and periodically need reminding. If you delegate low priority actions and stick to your highest priority actions, that also serve others, you are more likely to connect with the highest potential you have inside. As a result, your self-worth tends to go up, your achievements tend to go up and you will be more likely to expand your space and time horizons for ever greater achievements. You might also begin giving yourself permission to do greater actions you didn’t even know you were capable of doing. The real authentic “you” tends to emerge when you live congruently by your highest values. Watch what happens when you ask yourself, “What is the highest priority action I can do today that can help me fulfill my mission on planet Earth and make the biggest difference to the greatest number

“The key to living a fulfilling life is to do something that inspires you, something that serves, and to be authentic.” of people with the resources I have today in the most efficient, effective manner?” If you do this on a daily basis and stick to that one thing that shows up as your highest priority, and then master the art of doing that in a way that serves ever greater numbers of people so you can be remunerated for it, you will be on your way to having a more meaningful, fulfilled and inspired life. You don’t have to have self-depreciation or low self-worth — you can have an inspired life. I know this for sure because I have lived it and I’ve trained tens of thousands of people to do it. I’m absolutely certain it’s doable. As for my final words on the topic of self-confidence and living according to your highest values, the key to living a fulfilling life is to do something that inspires you, something that serves, and to be authentic. A great way to begin the process is to imagine that you are listed on Wikipedia. What would you love people to read about you in ten, one hundred and one thousand years from now? What do you want your Wikipedia entry to say? If you don’t decide how you would love to live your life to be and design a master plan for the rest of your life, other people are going to design it for you. If you don’t empower your life, other people will overpower it. Nobody is going to get up in the morning and dedicate their life to your fulfilment. That’s up to you. Take the time to define your highest values and priorities and know what your primary objectives are. Make sure they are balanced, true and congruent, and watch what happens as you expand your space and time horizons and create your immortal legacy. Decide on the evergreater difference you still want to make in life for the world.

BODE MILLER FINDS SWEET ELEVATION IN SPANISH PEAKS BY SI SI PENALOZA PHOTOGRAPHY BY DAVE LAUS LOCATION: SPANISH PEAKS MOUNTAIN CLUB WARDROBE BY MONTANA SUPPLY CO. 70

ode Miller is a new kind of mountain man. He’s way beyond bombing down black diamonds in the blink of an eye, and onto enjoying slower, immeasurably beautiful pleasures. Living his best life as a family man at Spanish Peaks Mountain Club in Big Sky, Montana, he’s evolved beyond “champion” into the most meaningful version of himself. A present, mindful father, a winter sports educator; meet the man who relishes angling Montana’s rivers and can always spare a quarter cord of firewood for a neighbor.

Altitude // Feature Any alpine community from Chamonix to Courchevel would be thrilled to welcome the Millers. The clan exudes robust energy and boundless love. The kids are sweet natured; the toddlers, rosy cheeked dollops of giggling, fluffy meringue. Here in Big Sky, he’s just Bode, patriarch of a sporty bunch, a diplomat for fresh alpine air. Renowned for his sentient snow literacy, Miller has fallen hard for life in Big Sky, Montana. On our exceedingly deep dive of a call, Bode opened up about what building a life in Montana has meant to his family. “I knew this was my happy place; but could it be for them? After the first three days, I had my answer. The kids were out climbing boulders, coming home with twigs in their hair,” he recalls, a fond warmth in his voice. “It was like watching bear cubs find their way in their element, not even knowing this was their element.” After 35 years of self-oriented sacrifice to succeed in his sport, now it’s all about family. “My wife, Morgan can kick back and exhale up here; the kids get to see us relaxed. As a result, they’re exploring self-reliance, a critical part of child development,” Miller observes. The combined ski areas of Big Sky Resort and Moonlight Basin created one of the largest ski areas in the United States, with more than 5,800 acres of skiable terrain and nearly 28,000 acres of resort development in Montana’s Big Sky region. The jewel of the region, Spanish Peaks Mountain Club, is a 5,700-acre, membership-based ski and golf community. Nestled alongside Big Sky Resort, this private club offers a living coffee table book of beauty and adventure. Every acre thrives in balance, what needs tending is meticulously maintained; what is rugged is left wild and free. Spanish Peaks’ luxury mountain homes are what property dreams are made of; sensitive stewardship of this coveted alpine setting inspires the architectural design process. A seamless blend of site and design emerge euphoric, innovative living spaces to inspire generations of alpine enthusiasts. Graced by a Tom Weiskopf 18-hole championship golf course, Spanish Peaks members also enjoy access to 5800 acres of skiing at Big Sky Resort, with a private base located at the Clubhouse. Such amenities feel right at home in Big Sky, a fresh slate in comparison to Aspen and Telluride, both of which are repurposed mining towns. Soon, there will

be a billion dollars worth of infrastructure in Big Sky. “Big Sky has solid backing, debt-free developers determined to make this a 21st Century ski town,” Miller says. As a Giant Slalom junkie, following Bode’s competitions over the years never failed to release feel-good endorphins, my eyes riveted to the screen. I knew he would flirt with the fringe of sanity—riding a catastrophically cathartic edge—blazing a trail of emotional fire and technical fury. With sheer grit and steely gravitas, Miller was a champion to call our own. To a generation of young skiers, he was the achingly cool big brother they wished they’d had growing up. Rising from humble beginnings in rural New Hampshire, he had a relatable origin story. Miller knew when he stood at the start gate, a hush falling over Kitzbuhel, that sustaining sovereignty in the face of immeasurable variables was key. “You need something that is yours, that you own, complete authorship and accountability,” he confides. “Everything I did JETSETMAG.COM

“IT’S A DICHOTOMY IN OUR MINDS; SCIENCE VERSUS ART. CROSSON LIVES AT THE INTERSECTION OF INSPIRATION AND SKIING.” - MILLER ON HIS PARTNERSHIP WITH CROSSON SKIS
from a young age was in line with this element of independence. The psychological act of standing on my own against fierce competition, knowing what I had done was enough.” Even the most successful male American alpine ski racer of all time panics. Racing against the top rivals on the planet, there was no ceiling. “I saw a picture of Hermann Maier that put me in the tank for a year and a half,” chuckles Miller. “He’s on a physiotherapy table, electrodes attached to his quads, with muscles that don’t belong on a human being. He’s technically better, better equipment, and his quads had obscene muscles. I’m like, super, that’s my next 34 races.” In retrospect, Miller feels the majority of what he accomplished was mind over matter. “It became about empowering myself. The one thing I could get Hermann on was that. He’s too tactically sound to risk crashing, he believes in his ability; I didn’t believe in my ability then, so I had to take risks tactically. I’m from New Hampshire, a gritty New England boy. I knew I could master the psychological side—be gnarlier, be tougher mentally; that was my ace in the hole,” he reflects philosophically. “It boiled down to what I was willing to do mentally, and how I managed my inspiration and arousal level come World Cup time.” Bode belongs to an exalted caliber of athletic heroes who transcend sport itself. He exudes that elusive “clutch” (way before the concept emerged as a pop culture phenomenon), something rivals with far more finesse could never seem to achieve. By exposing his flaws unflinchingly, when the virtuoso won, finish line spectators erupted beyond applause—veering wildly toward collective deliverance. Shaped by the backcountry, both athletically and constitutionally, his early training was more lumberjack camp than elite regimen. He’s come a long way from the kid born to loving, hippie parents, in a cabin in the woods without electricity or running water. Ever the gear aficionado, I get saber-toothed butterflies when Miller starts to talk Crosson, the ski brand he’s been involved with since spring. “It’s a dichotomy in our minds; science versus art. Crosson lives at the intersection of inspiration and skiing; this reflects how I approached the sport from the beginning,” he muses. “The artistic component is the only part, more or less, that’s immortal, or is limitless. If you race for physical validation, you reach your quota. There is no quota for art; the exploration is limitless.”

e salute Janeilla Burns for her service in the US Navy. Of the many inspiring and intriguing women who competed in Miss Jetset 2020, Janeilla had us at Navy Operations Specialist with a passion for performing arts. To celebrate a woman of honor and service is both significant and meaningful, as the competition has now evolved over several editions. “When I found out I won Miss Jetset, I was over the moon! I nearly lost my voice from screaming in celebration,” she shares with her signature enthusiasm. “I will use this experience as a reminder that I can do anything I set my mind to. I was only a wild card in Miss Jetset at one point, but that didn’t stop me.” Originally from small-town Visalia in California, Burns is currently stationed in Norfolk, Virginia. “I enjoy the deep, rich history of this area as Virginia is one of the oldest states and home to many military families,” she shares proudly. The beautiful brunette’s plans for 2021 are wide open. “I am inspired to learn and grow more as a person,” she confides. “I will be getting out after my first four years in the Navy, and I’m excited to integrate back again as a civilian. I have hopes to either go back to college or get back to performing arts.” Her passion for the arts runs deep. She elaborates, “I enjoy supporting the artists here, from painters to photographers who create magnificent works in The Vibe Creative District and Neon District.” In her downtime, she has plenty of fun browsing and treasure hunting through local family-owned shops. She also loves to support the restaurants nearby. “I enjoy the different and diverse restaurants here from Korean BBQ to the unbeatable seafood as we live by the beach,” she says.
“The hardest sacrifice I ever had to make was to leave everything I knew and enlist into the service as an Active Duty Sailor.” - Janeilla Burns, First Place, Miss Jetset 2020
Janeilla says if she could go back in time and give her younger self advice, it would be, “Never give up in whatever you do, and never let anyone tell you what your limits are.” She has strived to remain positive in the face of adversity. “The hardest sacrifice I ever had to make was to leave everything I knew and enlist into the service as an Active Duty Sailor,” she reflects. “Getting stationed across the U.S. and being deployed had taken a toll on me, and yet I would not change a thing because the people and situations I endured made me a stronger woman.” We’re certainly proud of you Janeilla Burns, bravo on your inspiring win!

NAOMI AYOTEMI SOMOLU
HEART OF A LION, SOUL OF A LAMB Naomi Ayotemi Somolu doesn’t merely boast the most marvelously alliterative name in the competition, she’s also the most nakedly ambitious. “I want to achieve supermodel status soon,” she enthuses. “I want to be sought-after worldwide to work with top designers, artists and photographers as I model the most beautiful high fashion and intriguing creations. I’m going to do it all.” She has decided that 2020 is the year that she pursues her modeling career relentlessly. It took the Nigerian bred beauty a while to get to the point of unapologetically pursuing her passion. Initially, she felt almost embarrassed that after all the tuition invested in her college education at The University of Miami, modeling is what she chose to commit to. “For some time, I had actually convinced myself that I had no desire to work in the modeling or creative field,” she reflects. “I told myself that art and modeling are just my hobbies so it’s best to leave it at that. This really took a toll on me; depriving myself of the freedom to be who I’m called to be was absolutely depressing. I felt like I was willingly losing my creativity, passion, and subsequently my identity.”

JETSETMAG.COM
Somolu’s identity deeply informs her world view. She sees herself as a global citizen and an ambassador for her country. “Being a Nigerian, Christian, aspiring supermodel is who I’m unapologetically proud to be,” she explains. “It’s way more than just money or fame to me, it’s about accepting my calling and making the absolute most of it irrespective of the challenges and uncertainties that come. It’s about enhancing the status quo for the greater good, starting in Nigeria, and progressing to the world.” Her softer side reveals a passion for Christian ministry and charity work. In May 2018, the model and her mother Abimbola Somolu launched the Youth Speak Up campaign to aid in the mental and emotional enhancement of the youth in our community. The campaign events are dedicated to preteens, teens, and young adults who desire more insight and discussions on self-discovery, mental, and emotional wellbeing. In light of the increase in suicide rates, depression, drug use, and other societal ills, the Youth Speak Up campaign creates inclusive platforms and safe spaces. “I love to engage and comfort people who silently struggle with internal conflicts,” she confides. “I hope to cultivate a society that is less judgmental and more receptive towards the development and expression of young adults, and so I plan to take this passion worldwide. Representation is so important to me. I want to use every platform that I can to reach individuals like myself who had a hard time accepting their unique appearance, quirks, and trials growing up.” Photography by Anny Roberts

Serious camera collectors list at least five Leica cameras in their collection. The German camera manufacturer is, after all, highly fetishized among cinephiles. The camera will come with a Summilux-M 50mm F1.4 ASPH lens, a white leather strap and a white case. US.Leica-Camera.com

Bang & Olufsen celebrates its 95th anniversary with the high-end model Beoplay H95, to the sheer delight of audiophiles the world over. The build quality here is a triumph. The aluminum frame and earbuds feel substantial, without adding weight. A battery life of 38 hours with noise reduction activated is impressive. Optimal sound mode sounds glorious; the bass is perfectly balanced between full and tight, seismic rhythms tingle along the nape of your neck while double basses deepen in structure without sonic discord.

The Lady Arabesque Secret Watch
from The Bulgari High-End Watch 2020 Novelties Collection Instead of a secret watch hidden under a cover, the dial in the Lady Arabesque Secret Watch is blended into the arabesque pattern of the bracelet-style watch. Pure magic for the wrist, it is crafted in pink gold with a single round rubellite measuring just under 12 carats, nearly 30 carats of pink sapphires, Paraiba tourmalines, emeralds, and some 13 carats of variously cut and pavé-set diamonds. As the name suggests, the execution of this golden covert camouflage is a celebration of haute jewelry meets haute horology. Bulgari.com

ONE OF MEXICO’S BEST KEPT SECRETS: W PUNTA DE MITA BY GREG FAHLMAN
l 92
ooking for an authentic Mexican vacation with all the trappings of a 5-star destination resort? Travel 40 minutes from Puerta Vallarta Airport to the culturally rich region of Riviera Nayarit. Located on one of the area’s most pristine and secluded beaches, you’ll find the incomparably hip W Punta de Mita. The 119-room and luxury suite resort sprawls across acres of lush greenery, offering a jungle vibe with classic ocean views. Room décor is inspired by the area’s bohemian surf culture with unmistakably Mexican accents, surfboards, and imaginative murals. Recharge in bold, open-concept bathrooms, with deep soaking bathtubs and glass-enclosed showers. Signature W beds set the scene for a rejuvenating sleep. The W escape pays homage to Punta de Mita’s profound cultural history and the extraordinary artistry of the indigenous Huichol peoples. These elements exist with a stylish sophistication, extending throughout the property. An outdoor runway made of more than 700,000 individual mosaic tiles with designs inspired by the Huichol extends from the point of arrival all the way out to the ocean, a focal point of the design. JETSETMAG.COM
W Punta de Mita boasts a handful of incredible dining options. Celebrate the sensuality of South Asian cuisine at Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s Spice Market, enjoy fresh seafood, hand-crafted cocktails, and light bites poolside or delivered directly to your beachfront cabana, or book the exclusive Mesa1 for a private outdoor chef’s dinner under the stars. Afterwards, indulge in a selection of tequilas and Mezcals at the Agave Lab. W guests are challenged to explore the surrounding beach towns. Just 20 minutes away, Sayulita is a hip surfer’s village that some even call the “new Tulum,” but luckily, it still flies under-the-radar as one of Mexico’s best kept secrets. Known for its trendy boutiques, cocktail bars, authentic restaurants, great surfing, music festivals, and more, the colorful and charming ‘pueblo magico’ – towns recognized in Mexico for their historic and cultural significance – offers something for everyone in the family. Back at W Punta de Mita, unwind at the gorgeous AWAY Spa edged with lush jungle, take a dip in one of the oceanfront swimming pools, try a surf lesson, learn to make ceviche, or simply lounge in your oceanfront suite, taking advantage of your private plunge pool and direct beach access. No matter how you define relaxation, W Punta de Mita is a truly safe, unforgettable escape. ¡Salud!
