CJI Podcast #50 | John Odegard | 5x5 Trading | "The aircraft brokerage world can be a little bit like the Wild West"

John Odegard, founder of 5x5 Trading and Chairman of IADA, has spent 30+ years closing deals in private aviation, from NetJets to Wheels Up to building his own firm from scratch. He talks career pivots, the leap of faith it took to launch a new business in the middle of a global shutdown, what it really takes to move aircraft at scale, and the highs of competition and celebration in dealmaking, right down to the horn that goes off every time his team closes a deal. Plus: why he still says the brokerage world can feel like the Wild West.
