Airshare Is the Key Productivity Tool Patrick Mahomes Relies On. Here's Why You Should Too. How superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes uses Airshare to balance business, football, and life.

In the life of an entrepreneur, time is everything. Between juggling meetings, interviews, photoshoots, production visits, and of course, email, making the most of every hour is essential to achieving your goals. That's especially true if you're also a leading quarterback in the NFL and one of the most celebrated athletes in the world. For Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs, there is no off-season.

With an always-packed schedule and an unyielding commitment to his growing family, Mahomes always has somewhere to be. To reach his full potential as an athlete, entrepreneur, and investor, Mahomes flies with Airshare. The Kansas City-based private aviation company boasts a revolutionary fractional ownership program that makes flying private more approachable and accommodating than ever before. For high soaring achievers like Mahomes, flying private with Airshare is more than just a perk of his success—it's a productivity tool that helps ensure such successes keep coming.

"Flying private is of course a luxury, but for me, more importantly it helps me get everything done that I need to do to be the best athlete on the field and maximize all the opportunities that I have off the field," says Mahomes. With the added benefits of absolute privacy and maximized efficiency that flying private allows, Mahomes—like all Airshare users—travels completely uninterrupted from wheels up to touch down. It's the perfect time to review game footage, study playbooks, or review pitch decks from potential investment or endorsement opportunities. "Flying with Airshare has really helped me off the field as much as it has helped me on it."

In July of 2020, Mahomes signed the most lucrative contract in the history of the league. His 10-year deal is reportedly worth over $503 million. But off the field he's pushing himself just as hard. In addition to his many endorsement contracts, Mahomes is building a veritable sports empire with a range of investments and business dealings.

He's on the cutting edge of sports technology, thanks to investments in wearables startup Whoop and recovery performance brand Hyperice. In July, he became the youngest part owner of a sports team in American history when he purchased a minority stake in the Kansas City Royals baseball team. And yes, Mahomes is in on the NFT craze, too—he recently pulled in $3.7 million selling blockchain-based collectibles.

With a track record like this, it's no surprise Airshare's innovative fractional ownership program appeals to Mahomes for the flexibility and personalization.

One key benefit of the company's fractional program is that the plane and flight crew stay with you throughout each day of usage, so customers get to know their pilots on a first-name basis, and making last-minute changes to flights is always easy. Mahomes sometimes has to make travel plans and be in the air in under 10 hours, or even change destinations mid-flight. For Airshare, that's no problem. Even if you're not a world famous quarterback—all Airshare customers have the same access, flexibility, and level of customer service.

"Whenever you're a part of Airshare, you're a partner in the company," says Mahomes, "you care about the company as much as they care about you."

Fractional ownership allows customers to buy as many days in the air as they need. For that day, you can take as many flights as you want—it's your day, your plane. And with Airshare, a 1/16th share can equal as much as 100 hours of flight time, compared to just 50 hours allowed by competing programs for the same share. For customers who want to try the program before pursuing an ownership share, Airshare offers the EMBARK Private Jet Card, the way to go for travelers making between five and ten trips per year. Simply pay a program fee, then only pay for days as you use them.

With Airshare, you make the flight schedule to fit your day. "When I'm using Airshare, I wake up around six or seven and get my workout in. Then I go home, see my newborn baby and Brittany, and we get the flight and get to where we need to go. I can prepare for the meetings on the flight. Get all those things done. Then sometimes we'll stay the night or we fly back the same day," says Mahomes.

If he's traveling alone, getting home for dinner is always a priority, and with Airshare it's possible. Skipping the lines and transfers at commercial airports means major time savings.

Mahomes credits his ability to attend so many meetings for helping him grow as an entrepreneur. Even if he's not investing in a company or is just getting to know it, he prioritizes meeting folks from a range of backgrounds. "I've been able to learn a lot from all kinds of people who have more knowledge and experience than I have." said Mahomes.

One lesson Mahomes has picked up from his many exploratory meet-ups: just like in sports, your heart has to be in it in order to win.

"The biggest thing that I've learned from people who've had success is to make sure you do something you love, and to invest in something you love," Mahomes says. "Because if you do, you seem to make it work out more often than not. You're able to put your time and passion into it—you know you're doing something for the right reasons."

Every time Mahomes steps on the field or gets on an Airshare flight for a business trip, it's clear where his heart is.
