With this self-driving luxury sedan, MercedesBenz illustrates how the car is growing beyond its role as a mere means of transport and will ultimately become a private retreating space. In the interior of the F 015 Luxury in Motion, the designers have created a lounge-like space with a feel-good ambience characterized by elegance, quality and lightness. The high-strength body of the F 015 Luxury in Motion ensures optimum safety and supreme comfort for its passengers.

The greater the advance of urbanization, the greater is the desire of the individual to be able to retreat to a private sphere. Autonomous driving will become a given. As drivers are relieved of work and stress in situations in which driving is not enjoyable, the time gained while in their car takes on a whole new quality. Time and space will become the luxury of the future. Mercedes-Benz.com

The winery complex, which has been nicknamed “the City of Wine,” is located in the heart of the Rioja Alavesa region and includes one of the most recognized luxury hotels in the world. The Hotel Marqués de Riscal is a Luxury Collection Hotel designed and built by Canadian Frank O. Gehry, one of the world’s most renowned architects and designer of many works of art, such as the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris. The Hotel Marqués de Riscal merges deep-rooted wine-growing tradition with 21st century avant-garde design. The hotel’s spectacular curves, titanium roof and asymmetry of walls provide an elegant contrast to the historic wine cellars designed in 1858 by architect Ricardo Bellsola. The hotel’s 43 luxury rooms and suites, each unique and different in their shapes and offered views, are “thrown” into two wings, connected by a spectacular suspended footbridge. Gehry’s personal and exclusive project of interior design, characterized by its forms, colors and materials, offers an authentic avant-garde vision. We also discovered that the world of wine and the world of gastronomy meet at the Hotel Marqués de Riscal. With ϐ ǡ creative and traditional Basque- Riojan cuisine of Francis Paniego,

here is simply no better way to experience sheer extravagance and absolute freedom than indulging in the world of luxury yachting. Chartering a luxury superyacht is considered by many “in the know� to be the ultimate vacation experience, one which is sure to be highlighted by an extremely heightened level of style and comfort, and is clearly travel at its most opulent. Available in a vast array of sizes, styles and functions, there is a luxury charter yacht to suit every need. With that said, selecting the proper yacht for your personal needs is an important decision. Certainly, the yacht needs to take you and your guests to your dream destinations while providing all the comforts you desire, but there is more to picking a superyacht than meets the eye. There are vast differences between vessels and what they have to offer, and understanding these differences is of paramount importance. Some cater to families wishing to spend quality time together, while others are better suited for an intimate and romantic retreat. If exploring uncharted waters is what you crave, then you will want a vessel with a shallow draft, while others are perfectly capable of handling an exhilarating expedition to Antarctica. The boundaries are vast, and your imagination is your guide. One of the pleasures of being aboard a luxury superyacht is not only the fact that the ocean is your gorgeous backdrop, but also your playground! Whether you are exploring the sexy French Riviera,

Safari Anticosti Resort Anticosti Island, Quebec, Canada

When the King of France grants an island to a famous explorer like Louis Jolliet as a reward for discovering the Mississippi River, you just know it’s got to be an extraordinary place. That’s exactly what Louis XIV did back in 1680 and today, Anticosti Island welcomes another kind of explorer — the luxury traveler — to an all-inclusive retreat called Safari Lodge.

Mahekal Beach Resort Playa Del Carmen, Mexico

Like a perfectly blended Margarita, Mahekal Beach Resort offers every ingredient you could possibly need for a relaxing beach getaway. Fresh from a $10 million re-imagination, this oceanfront retreat offers an appealing blend of authentic Mexican ambiance, stellar service and endless views of the turquoise waters of the Caribbean from its prime setting on the longest stretch of pristine beach in Playa Del Carmen. There’s a lot to be said for a resort that offers its guests a true sense of place. Accommodations at Mahekal come in the form of bungalows with thatched palapa-style roofs and are surrounded by lush vegetation. Each bungalow has a private terrace equipped with a hard-to-resist hammock, and the interiors, which feature vaulted …‡‹Ž‹Â?‰• ƒÂ?† ƒ DzÂ?‘‘Â? •Š‘™‡”dz ™‹–Š ”‹˜‡” ”‘…Â? Ď?Ž‘‘”‹Â?‰ǥ ƒ”‡ †‡…‘”ƒ–‡† in soothing neutrals accented with fresh pops of color thanks to the use of vividly colored Mexican textiles. When you book one of Mahekal’s Ocean Front bungalows, you’ll be just 10 steps from the beach and have your own refreshing plunge pool to take a dip in. That is, when you’re not on the beach enjoying an oceanfront massage. Or, you may simply want to stake out a lounge chair at one of the resort’s two new pools or bask in the seaside Jacuzzi. Decisions, decisions. Of course, a resort is nothing without excellent service, and here’s some insight into the kind of service you can expect. Mahekal’s long-time concierge, the always-smiling Boli, is so beloved by guests who return to the resort year after year, that one of the resort’s three new bars has been named in his honor. Here’s another fun twist. When you’re waiting for your room service order to be delivered, you won’t hear the typical cart rumbling down the path to your bungalow.

Your meals will be delivered by a staff member riding a vintage bicycle carrying a rattan basket. Mahekal also has a talented pottery artist, so †‘Â?ǯ– „‡ •—”’”‹•‡† –‘ ƒ””‹˜‡ ƒ– ›‘—” „—Â?‰ƒŽ‘™ –‘ Ď?‹Â?† ƒ ŠƒÂ?Â†ÇŚÂ’ÂƒÂ‹Â?–‡† plate bearing your name and room number hanging by your door. In the spirit of helping guests get away from it all, Mahekal keeps TVs out of the bungalows, but don’t worry, you’ll still be able to stay in touch with the world when you need to, thanks to a new, state-of-theart Wi-Fi system in place throughout the resort. For dining, Mahekal offers everything from traditional Mexican and Latin American fare to gourmet dishes that blend the best of the land and sea. Also, unlike many other resorts in the area, Mahekal has the distinct advantage of being located literally just steps away from Playa Del Carmen’s popular 5th Avenue district (known locally as ƒ —‹Â?Â–ÂƒČŒÇĄ ƒ Ž‹˜‡Ž› ’‡†‡•–”‹ƒÂ? ƒ”‡ƒ Ď?‹ŽŽ‡† ™‹–Š •‹†‡™ƒŽÂ?

Riviera Maya is home to the second longest barrier reef in the world, so the snorkeling and diving are excellent. The ancient Mayan ruins at Tulum are a “must see,â€? and there are many other outdoor adventures to choose from in this ecological paradise, including the rare experience of swimming in underground caves. Given its prime location, luxurious oceanfront accommodations, excellent cuisine and welcoming, attentive service, it’s easy to see why so many families make it a tradition to return to experience the magic of Mahekal year after year.

Master Distiller Johnny Schuler, one of the foremost pisco authorities in the world, has dedicated much of his life to setting the standards for excellence in the pisco industry and revitalizing interest in Peru’s native spirit. After being brought on board, he designed the new distillery so that it also would move the precious liquid only through the natural forces of gravity, just as it has been done at this location since its inception in 1684. The new distillery also allows for the same small batch distillation and control over every bottle and was created with environmental stewardship in mind. The attention to detail is inspiring — Johnny Shuler’s blood runs green and he clearly walks the walk. A lush roof garden has been planted to offset the carbon dioxide emissions created naturally during fermentation and a water treatment system is in place to recycle water from the distillation process into irrigation water for the vineyards.

SUPPLY, NOT DEMAND, DRIVES THE ECONOMY BY KEN MCELROY

It is true that consumers are used strategically by the government as one of the driving forces in leading an economy out of a recession, but that consumer spending is not the mainstay of any economy.

Savings, productivity and technological advances are the keys to economic growth. Business spending on capital goods, new technology, ϐ sustaining the economy and a higher standard of living. In fact, it was Jean-Baptiste Say who taught that supply (or production) creates its own demand. Scottish economist James Mill (father of John Stewart Mill) explained it this way: “Production of commodities creates, and is the one and universal cause which creates. a market for the commodities produced.” But Say merely extended the law taught by King Solomon in Ecclesiastes 5:11: “As goods increase, so do those who consume them.” Issue 2 . 2015

These programs, which can be disincentives for people to be productive, have exploded in recent years and not only reduce employment, but reduce output and growth. And while I agree that these programs are certainly necessary, they can be damaging if not managed. It’s the Keynesian approach that puts the matter upside down, but continues to be the only ideology considered as a solution, which is: demand creates supply. With this approach, putting spending power into the hands of consumers will drive the economy. History shows that incentives for consumers can lead to all kinds of mischief, including taking of money from those who earned it and giving it to those who didn’t, all in the name of “fairness” and “economic justice.” The fact that the Keynesian approach doesn’t work, never has worked, and never can work, doesn’t bother the statists who favor more government.

Remember, in a dynamic economy, the decision by businesses to spend more investment funds and hire more workers is a function of both current consumer demand and future consumer demand.

The Benefits of Creating a Fear-Free Workplace By Barry LaBov

W

hat makes a great leader? That’s a question that’s been debated for centuries in countless books, articles and speeches. And even after all that, we’re still left to wonder if there is one all-encompassing answer. There are certainly qualities consistently found in good leaders — integrity, motivation, inspiration and drive — but what do these leaders do that encourages those around them to perform at their best?

72

I JetsetMag.com

Simon Sinek, originator of The Golden Circle, postulates that good leadership is about creating an environment where employees feel safe. In this kind of culture, employees can focus on the work that needs to be done, and they’re more likely to work together to achieve it. Conversely, in an environment of danger, employees expend their energies trying to defend themselves. They’re distrustful of their coworkers and certainly of anyone in a leadership position, which can also negatively impact how they treat customers and suppliers. According to Sinek, that, in turn, weakens the entire organization. After all, if you’re focused on avoiding the internal dangers of the workplace, you may not even see potential dangers from the outside, like the competition taking market share away. Fear brings along a bunch of unwanted friends, including ”ƒ–‹‘Â?ƒŽ‹œƒ–‹‘Â?ÇĄ …‘Â?ˆ—•‹‘Â? ƒÂ?† †‡ˆ‡Â?•‹˜‡Â?॥Ǥ ‡ƒ†‡”• Šƒ˜‡ –‘ Ď?‹‰Š– to maintain an environment where fear isn’t a factor. That’s not easy, because fear can come from the outside — a customer’s behavior or a supplier’s poor performance could compromise a healthy situation.

For example, does the company have a spirit of generosity? Does it allow employees to get involved in giving back to those in the community? Beyond how a company treats its employees, customers, suppliers and community, another factor affecting a secure work environment is transparency. Increasing transparency costs a company virtually Â?‘–Š‹Â?‰ ƒÂ?†ǥ ‹ˆ †‘Â?‡ …‘””‡…–Ž›ǥ …ƒÂ?

Transparency promotes employee trust in company leadership, which, in turn, leads to increased commitment. Maintaining transparency requires an ongoing dialog between management and employees, whether it’s done through a monthly company meeting, a newsletter, employee intranet or anything in between. Keeping an active line of communication open is the only way to achieve true transparency. The survey also showed that only 42 percent of surveyed employees know their organization’s vision, mission or values. This is another factor in promoting a safe environment in the Issue 2 . 2015

CRUISING ALTITUDE FINANCE In 1995, Robert and I committed to create the board game, CASHFLOWÂŽ. This would be the start of The Rich Dad Company. Although there were certainly no guarantees of success (or even a sure bet to break even, for that matter), I felt a sense of relief knowing that we were creating a new business that would, ideally, generate more money into our income column. ITAC In 1996, the CASHFLOW game launched. The next year, we published Rich Dad Poor Dad. The business — through a great deal of effort, mistakes, successes and learning — was up and running. Income ™ƒ• Ď?Ž‘™‹Â?‰ ‹Â?Ǩ Then one day it hit me.

It’s not the income that brings wealth. It’s the asset that creates the income that brings wealth. My focus shifted to the asset column.

CRUISING ALTITUDE INSPIRE

BY DR. JOHN DEMARTINI

If you are not fully empowered, you will likely become overpowered!

T

here are seven primary areas of life that we can become empowered in. And, therefore, there are seven primary powers that can be developed and expanded. Individuals, as well as entire nations, are consciously or unconsciously attempting ϐ order to avoid being assertively overpowered by other individuals or other nations.

Issue 2 . 2015

I 83

CRUISING ALTITUDE INSPIRE ϐ include our:

. Inspired or spiritual mission . Mental genius/creativity . Vocational success, achievement and service . Financial freedom and independence . Family love and intimacy and continuance of procreation . ǡ ϐ . Physical health, stamina, strength and well-being On a one-to-seven scale of potential empowerment, it is wise to ask yourself — “How empowered am I in each of the seven areas of life?” The less your overall empowerment total, the more forms of subordination you will probably be doing to others. And, in turn, the more subordinations you are doing to others, the less overall empowered you will probably be. We are not here to live in the shadows of anyone; we are here to live on the shoulders of giants. Any of these seven areas of life that we, as passive individuals, don’t empower will leave us vulnerable to becoming overpowered by more assertive others. So, in any area of life that we don’t empower, somebody else will be sure to overpower. That is nature’s way. Nature equilibrates passive and assertive individuals through time. The assertive expand and the passive contract their powers in order to play out the dance in the balance of powers. The more areas we are disempowered in, the more overpowered or dominated we will end up being by others. We are not victims of their overempowering position; we are simply not empowered, and it is their overpowered position that, in turn, initiates and catalyzes our drive for greater inner-empowerment, which, in turn, levels the two powers to equity.

“No one I have met has gotten up in the morning and honestly said that they desire to shrink in power and become over dominated or assertively controlled by others.” - Dr. Demartini I have yet to meet anyone who did not want to expand their powers in each of the seven areas of life. No one I have met has gotten up in the morning and honestly said that they desire to shrink in power and become over dominated or assertively controlled by others. It is our nature to pursue our freedom and equilibrate the balance of power. As Nietzsche proclaimed, we all have the will to power. Just as we, as individuals, have these yearnings for these powers, so do collective societies and whole nations. But now, these collective social descriptions also have to expand. Our individual-inspired spiritual mission now becomes the dominant, spiritual/religious ideologies of our nation. Our mental genius becomes our nation’s multi-tiered educational industry or governing body. Our goals for achievement and success become our GDP, our international trade and our corporate entrepreneurial and national business development initiatives. Our economics become the wealth of our nation, our income per capita — again the stability of our national economics and assets. Our family stability comes from our nation’s marriage and divorce ratios Ȁ Ǥ ϐ ϐ ǡ our physical health and well-being becomes our national healthcare systems, policing systems and military strength.

CRUISING ALTITUDE INSPIRE

Now, if our nation does not empower one or more of these seven areas, that area or those areas can become overpowered by other groups, or nations. So the law of empowerment applies to our nations just as it applies to us as individuals. The will to power and yearning for overall empowerment, although assumed to be about race, creed, color, age or sex, isn’t, in fact, limited to only these factors. There is always somebody from each race, creed, color, age or sex that empowers many, if not all, areas of their life, and who rises and is not overpowered. It’s all about empowering. ϐ involves the honesty of our intent, the congruency of our highest values and goal-driven actions and the quality of our education. Success leaves clues, and those individuals, as well as those nations that desire to rise in power, need to follow these persistent clues. Awakening to and owning the character traits of other empowered and exemplary individuals or nations and further developing these character traits in each of the seven areas of life can both empower individuals as well as entire nations. If we, as individuals or nations, blame outer circumstances for why we are not fully empowered, we will hinder our pursuit of empowerment. But if we start acting and doing the things that are proven to empower, we also rise in power. Instead of having individuals or nations sitting in the shadows of other individuals,

or other nations, it’s wise for both to recognize that nothing is missing within their boundaries, particularly in their areas of their competitive advantage. They are just not acknowledging, awakening or honoring the many hidden powers they already have. Once they awaken to these hidden powers and recognize them, through awareness and education, the competitive advantage that each individual, or nation, has can further rise and shine. If we, as individuals and nations, concentrate on what we do have, and recognize our latent and soon-awakened power and use it wisely, we will not become overpowered by others and a greater equanimity and equity can be obtained. Empowerment is not provided from the outside; empowerment comes from within. The moment the individual or nation realizes that nothing is missing inside them, that they have unrecognized powers and they highly value themselves and their great natural or intellectual resources, so does the world. Empowerment is not what corrupts; it’s the fear of being overpowered by others that often corrupts. The anticipation of loss of power corrupts, not so much the gain of power.

The actor vividly recalls sleeping nestled between them and never having a space of his own. In many ways, he was drawn to acting out of necessity — it helped him to distinguish himself, communicate with people (like his two deaf aunts) and disarm bullies he encountered growing up in the post-war South Bronx. Unlike the callous toughs he’s portrayed, he wasn’t a particularly pugnacious adolescent. Although he did run with a crew, smoke, drink, …Šƒ•‡ ‰‹”Ž• ƒÂ?†ǥ ‹Â?Â‡Â•Â…ÂƒÂ’ÂƒÂ„ÂŽÂ›ÇĄ ‰‡– ‹Â?–‘ ƒ ˆ‡™ Ď?Ž‹‰Š–•Ǥ ‹Â?‡ Â?‘•– …”‡ƒ–‹˜‡ kids, he found the rigors of school suffocating. By 17, he had dropped out and left home for good. For years, he lived a nomadic existence, working remedial jobs and sometimes literally sleeping in the streets to further his acting career. But then he lost his mother — who’d been battling depression and barbiturate addiction — and his beloved

grandfather in the same year. Pacino describes the ensuing epoch as his “darkest period.â€? Thankfully, he kept acting, and (after multiple rejections) gained acceptance into the fabled Actors Studio. …–‘”• –—†‹‘ ‹Â?’”‡•ƒ”‹‘ ƒÂ?† Ž‡‰‡Â?†ƒ”› ƒ…–‹Â?‰ …‘ƒ…Š ‡‡ Strasberg once famously said that “some actors play characters — Al Pacino becomes them.â€?

Then they got it. For Pacino, it’s all about the arc — the many subtle changes a character undergoes throughout the course of a story. After The Godfather, Pacino’s arc was rapidly ascending.

back down the aisle, now as newlyweds, it was time to get down to the serious business of throwing a wedding reception that would continue this ultimate dream wedding in appropriate fashion. The reception started with top-shelf cocktails from Pour Masters in the open bars along with hors d’oeuvres, including Spicy Ahi Tuna Tartare and Eggplant Caponata Eggrolls from Ciao Baby Catering. Approximately an hour later, two immense sliding doors that guarded the contents of Aero Jet’s hangar opened simultaneously, like giant curtains being pulled back to start the Oscars. What bombarded the guests’ senses next was a jaw-dropping wave of astonishment as the interior had been completely transformed into a party/reception space that looked like a cloud met a fairy tale and landed on the trendiest hotel on the Sunset Strip.

After two full days of excitement and Jetset-worthy service, opulence, pampering and pleasure, Toby and Heather stood together as a married couple inside this pristine airplane hangar with their closest family and friends.

Appreciating Luxury VACATION HOMES Equity Estates’ proven model of a jointly owned portfolio of luxury residences delivers rewarding experiences and results!

Los Cabos

Napa Valley

As the real estate and travel industries continue to show signs of resurgence, Equity Estates, an Atlanta-based company, has carved out a niche that combines superlative homes and vacation experiences with a compelling real estate investment. The company is well positioned to capitalize on demand in both areas through its Luxury Residence Fund™, Equity Estates Fund II, LLC (Fund II). Launched in 2013, Fund II follows the successful subscription of Equity Estates Fund I, which assembled an impressive portfolio of $3 million vacation residences throughout the United States, Caribbean, and Mexico. In contrast to vacation and destination clubs, Equity Estates investors (a.k.a. owner members) receive an ownership interest in the Fund, which governs itself with strict covenants that earmark use of proceeds for buying the homes—financial transparency, limited debt, and alignment between investors and management are key principles. Launched in the fall of 2006, Equity Estates Fund I was sold out by 2012, prompting the launch of Fund II the following year.

“Success is measured by return on investment and return on living” Owner members have access to more than 70 residences spanning 30 countries. The portfolio—which includes homes in Lake Tahoe, CA; Grand Cayman Island; Turks & Caicos; Punta Cana, DR; San Diego, CA; Bali, Indonesia; Paris, France; and Tuscany, Italy among others—reflects the demands of exacting clientele from across the country. Equity Estates believes that its model—centered on wealth preservation—will enable investors to make lodging costs nonexistent when taking into account prospective gains on investment.

New York City

“This is one of the best performing investment that I’ve made. Not only am I having a great time, but I also anticipate great returns when the fund divests the portfolio,” said Rick Covert, a Flower Mound, Texas-based entrepreneur who sits on the board of the fund, is an owner member, and enjoys traveling to the residences with his friends and family. Pending size of investment, investors enjoy between 15 and 180 nights of usage in the private portfolio of residences. Five-star services are delivered by personal travel concierges and on-site hosts. The fund offers the greatest availability in the market place, and intentionally under-utilizes the portfolio to maximize investor access. “We think less like hotel industry executives,” says Brandon Dale, the company’s managing director, “and more like a cooperative that shares owned assets.” “Success is measured by return on investment and return on living. We take pride in designing inspired experiences that create lifelong memories,” noted Founder and CEO, Philip Mekelburg. From organizing a father-son deep sea fishing excursion in Los Cabos, to planning a wedding at the Empire State Building, The Equity Estates team delivers returns which can’t be measured merely in dollars and cents.

STEVE ANDERSON: AVIATION ARTIST/ HISTORIAN

"Attack on Kep" • oil • 24" x 30"

The family of a U.S. Navy pilot wanted to surprise him on his birthday with a unique commemorative of a heroic air combat feat done nearly 50 years earlier, for which he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. In Attack on Kep, Steve Anderson faithfully captured a pivotal moment of the air action in an important gift and heirloom. The painting ended up on the cover of Foundation magazine of the Naval Aviation Museum Foundation in one of many accolades from peers and historians for the multiple award-winning artist. A dedicated aficionado of World War I aviation yearned for a painting of an incident in 1917 when a famous Sopwith Triplane ace downed a gigantic Gotha bomber. Anderson consulted his massive research library to determine every detail related to the event, from the markings on the planes to the time of day it happened, and delivered David and Goliath, an exhilarating snapshot of drama in the skies. The painting was included in historian Jim Wilberg's new book, “Aviators of the Great War: The Aviation Art of Steve Anderson.” Steve Anderson Aviation Artist/Historian (714) 305-4428 • jasta11ace@msn.com anderson-art.com

BOB & DIANE WHITE: COLLECTING A DREAM

"Girl Talk" • Nicholai Solomin • 39" x 57"

Dr. Bob and Diane White have lived in Southeast Alaska for 50 years. In the early years, they collected Alaskan tribal art. But in time, their interest in art expanded to include realistic paintings and bronze sculpture. Collecting art became addictive, and ϐ Ǥ From 1980 to 1995, they invited 35 American artists including Bob Kuhn, Clyde Aspevig and Richard Schmid to cruise with them in southeast Alaska aboard their yacht, and commissioned art from their experiences. In 1990, with the help of the sculptor George Carlson, Bob and Diane were invited to Russia.
