The Interview
Thank you so much for joining us today! Tell us a little bit about yourself. What is your backstory?
Justin Crabbe : I am the CEO and Founder of Jettly, an entrepreneur and commercial pilot and a travel agent who has boldly transformed the landscape of the private jet booking industry.
Overcoming obstacles is often a part of the journey to success. Can you tell us about a particular challenge you faced and how you navigated through it to ultimately achieve your goals?
Justin Crabbe : I faced a significant financial strain in the early stages of my venture. Even with the difficulty, I didn’t waver and took initiative by involving my team, asking mentors for advice, and looking into other funding sources. We progressively overcome the difficulty by improving marketing strategies, reducing operational complexity, and obtaining the required funding. We learned from this experience how important it is to be flexible, persistent, and to operate as a team. It strengthened our faith in our goal and gave us the self-assurance to face new obstacles.
Many people draw inspiration from the stories of others. Are there any individuals or mentors who have played a significant role in guiding or supporting you along your journey? How have they impacted your perspective or approach to success?
Justin Crabbe : Yes, several individuals and mentors played a significant role in guiding and supporting me. A seasoned entrepreneur instilled the importance of perseverance, while a former professor provided industry expertise and connections. The stories of successful entrepreneurs who overcame obstacles inspired me deeply. These influences taught me that true success encompasses the journey, personal growth, and overcoming challenges. They shaped my approach, emphasizing continuous learning, resilience, and innovation within my team. Inspired by their impact, I now actively mentor aspiring entrepreneurs, paying forward the wisdom I received.
Success can mean different things to different people. How do you define success personally, and what advice would you offer to others who are striving to achieve their own version of success in life?
Justin Crabbe : Success is about living a life aligned with my values and making a positive impact. I define success as passions, principles and aspirations. A growth mindset, adapting to challenges, and surrounding myself with a supportive network are crucial. Perseverance through setbacks while celebrating small wins is key. Above all, I must enjoy the journey of continuous learning and personal growth. True success encompasses the fulfilling process, not just the destination.
