Trailblazing Titans: Andy Frisella and Ed Mylett’s Arete Syndicate Revolution
I n an era where uncertainty seems to overshadow the American landscape, entrepreneurs Andy Frisella and Ed Mylett emerge as guiding lights, offering not just a business roadmap but a transformative philosophy for navigating the challenges of a nation in flux. Amidst a backdrop of societal upheaval, they stand resolute in their belief that the solutions to America’s problems won’t be found in government corridors or corporate boardrooms but in the indomitable spirit of the entrepreneur. This conviction fuels their passion for Arete Syndicate—a mentorship program deeply rooted in the ancient Greek concept, meaning “excellence” or “virtue.” Arete goes beyond conventional business strategies
to foster holistic growth and resilience. The Chaos of America: A Call for Entrepreneurial Leadership
Mylett echoes this sentiment, “Entrepreneurs are the true change-makers. We don’t just adapt to change; we create it. We’re the catalysts for progress in the midst of chaos.” Beyond Political and Corporate Boundaries: The Arete Philosophy At the core of Andy Frisella and Ed Mylett’s mentorship program is the ancient Greek concept of “Arete.” Arete, often translated as “excellence” or “virtue,” is profoundly significant in their philosophy. For Frisella and Mylett, it’s not just about building successful businesses; it’s about becoming the best version of oneself in every aspect—body, mind, and spirit.
“America is a mess,” Frisella bluntly asserts. “But waiting for the government or corporate America to fix it is futile. It’s entrepreneurs who will lead the way out of this mess.” These words encapsulate the ethos driving Frisella and Mylett’s passion for Arete. In a time where political polarization, economic challenges, and social unrest dominate the headlines, they believe that the power to effect positive change lies with those who create businesses and drive innovation.

ownership and societal impact.
“Arete Syndicate is about relentless self-improvement,” explains Mylett. “To build an amazing company, you first have to build an amazing person.” This philosophy underscores the program’s commitment to developing entrepreneurs who can lead in boardrooms, communities, and society. Navigating the Entrepreneurial Triad: Body, Mind, Spirit Against America’s challenges, Frisella and Mylett advocate for a holistic approach to personal and entrepreneurial development. The triad of body, mind, and spirit becomes a roadmap for navigating the complexities of business
to creating entrepreneurs who are not just successful in business metrics but who radiate health, mental fortitude, and a sense of purpose. Accessibility in Action: Live Calls and Events The accessibility of Frisella and Mylett is not just a token gesture; it’s a deliberate effort to bridge the gap between mentor and mentee in an industry often characterized by distance. Live calls and events are real-time platforms where entrepreneurs can connect with these titans. “We’re not interested in being distant figures on a screen,” says Mylett. “We want to be present, engaged, and accessible. That’s
“Your body is your first business,” Frisella asserts. “Physical health is not just a personal matter; it’s the foundation for sustained success in the entrepreneurial journey.” “Your mind is your most valuable asset,” adds Mylett. “Cultivating mental resilience is not just about facing business challenges; it’s about navigating the storms that life throws at you.” “Your spirit is your compass,” they agree. “Aligning your business mission with your values and purpose gives it depth and meaning.” This holistic perspective, deeply embedded in the Arete philosophy, reflects a commitment

where the real transformation happens—when we’re in it together.” These interactive sessions provide a space for entrepreneurs to share challenges, receive guidance, and celebrate victories in a community that goes beyond geographical boundaries. A 5-Year Legacy of Transformation: Quotes from the Pioneers As the mentorship program celebrates its five-year milestone, Frisella and Mylett reflect on the impact they’ve witnessed in the lives of entrepreneurs who’ve embraced the Arete philosophy. “We’ve seen businesses scale, but more importantly, we’ve seen individuals transform,” Frisella remarks. “It’s not just about the numbers; it’s about the mindset, the resilience, and the character that gets built along the way.” Mylett chimes in, “Our legacy isn’t in the success stories of businesses alone; it’s in the community of empowered individuals who are changing the narrative of what’s possible.” The Entrepreneurial Journey: A Symphony of Arete Syndicate As entrepreneurs embark on the journey with Frisella and Mylett, the symphony of Arete unfolds—a harmonious blend of ancient wisdom and contemporary grit. The mentorship program is not a mere curriculum; it’s an immersive experience that resonates with the challenges and triumphs of the entrepreneurial soul.
“Arete is not a destination; it’s a journey,” reflects Frisella. “It’s the relentless pursuit of excellence in every facet of your life. It’s about waking up every day and saying, “I will be better today than I was yesterday.” This commitment to daily improvement echoes the Greek philosophy that underpins Arete, where virtue and excellence are not static achievements but dynamic pursuits, ever-evolving and resilient in the face of adversity. Mylett adds, “The entrepreneurial journey is a test of character. It’s not just about building businesses; it’s about building individuals who can weather the storms and emerge stronger on the other side.” Shaping the Future of Entrepreneurial Leadership Amid America’s challenges, Andy Frisella and Ed Mylett stand as beacons of entrepreneurial leadership. Their mentorship program, Arete, is not just a response to business needs but a
call to arms for those who believe entrepreneurs are the architects of societal change. In a landscape where the political and corporate spheres seem inadequate to address the complexities of the present, Frisella and Mylett’s passion for Arete shines as a guiding light As they continue to shape the future of entrepreneurial leadership, the legacy they are building reaches beyond business success—it’s a testament to the transformative power of individuals who are committed to becoming the best versions of themselves for the betterment of society. The essence of Arete resonates, motivating entrepreneurs to expand their businesses and uplift their capabilities, thereby contributing to a future where success is defined by excellence and virtue.

Discerning travelers
must understand the landscape fully, considering business stability, flexibility, and potential pitfalls. 1. Fractional Jet Ownership:The Shared Sky Fractional jet ownership, a concept pioneered by companies like NetJets, represents a shared ownership model where multiple individuals or businesses collectively own a private jet. This
approach allows participants to enjoy the benefits of private aviation without the financial burden of sole ownership.
Pros:
Cost Sharing: Fractional ownership provides a shared financial responsibility, making private jet travel more accessible while spreading the cost among the members.

This serves as a reminder for potential investors to research fractional ownership providers’ financial stability and reputation thoroughly and recognize that a deal that appears too good to be true is possibly a bad idea. 2. Jet Card Memberships: On- Demand Luxury The popularity of private aviation has risen steadily, providing a versatile and convenient option. The advantage of a pre-paid card with flight hours locks you in with some protection against price fluctuations.
Operational Limits: Availability might be constrained during peak travel times, and participants may face operational restrictions while rarely if ever flying in the actual aircraft they own a share of. However, prospective buyers should exercise caution, as the history of fractional ownership has seen instances of companies going
Cons:
Upfront Investment: While more affordable than sole ownership, fractional ownership requires a substantial upfront investment and is typically higher than the
Pros:
Flexibility: Jet card holders can book flights on short notice, making it an ideal solution for spontaneous travel with concierge service. Cost Transparency: Members pay a fixed hourly rate based on the actual route flown, simplifying budgeting and reducing unexpected expenses and some protection against rising costs.
Cons:
Higher Hourly Rates: Jet card memberships often come with higher hourly rates than other options since they don’t include empty positioning legs which still need to be flown. Fleet Limitations: Users may be restricted to a specific fleet, limiting options for larger or specialized aircraft. While the flexibility of jet card memberships is highly appealing, potential buyers should be aware

of the potential drawbacks. Notable examples of companies selling travel in advance and then going bankrupt due to rising costs or misallocation of funds are not uncommon and end up leaving buyers without recourse in situations that are not dissimilar to pyramid schemes.
3. Membership Programs: Beyond the Jet Card
Membership programs offered by companies such as Wheels Up and Magellan Jets take the concept of exclusivity to a new level. These programs provide members access to unique benefits beyond flight hours, including concierge services, exclusive events, and additional travel-related perks.
Pros:
Added Benefits: Membership programs offer a range of exclusive perks, including concierge services, ground transportation, and access to exclusive events. Personalization: Members can often tailor their experience to align with specific travel preferences.
Cons:
Annual Fees: Membership programs typically come with annual fees, increasing the overall cost of private jet travel. Availability Challenges: Exclusive benefits may be subject to availability, particularly during peak travel times or for specific events.
