Brandon Blewett holds "Million Miler" status with one U.S. airline and currently enjoys top-tier status with two of the largest U.S. carriers. His secret? An endless parade of work travel that would make even a nomad blush. Brandon often jokes that his permanent residence is simply where he pays property taxes, as he seems to actually live in the sky, on planes, or in airports.Brandon currently leads the M&A engine at a private equity-backed paving company as the head of corporate development. Each week, he travels to visit potential acquisition targets or recently acquired businesses, ensuring smooth transitions as they integrate into the platform. This role is the result of fourteen years of global deal experience, encompassing more than $210 billion in transaction value. Before paving the way (pun absolutely intended), he directed corporate strategy and development for a building products company, thanks to his time in professional services.Brandon sharpened his transaction skills in the whirlwind world of management consulting. He worked at two of the world's largest consulting and advisory firms. Starting in M&A tax and transitioning to M&A strategy, he spent over a decade in professional services during a time when consulting still demanded weekly travel-departing on Mondays and returning on Thursdays. This routine provided a front-row seat to the often peculiar and perturbing habits of travelers on planes and in airports. Through this journey, Brandon discovered the joys, pain points, and ultimate hacks of a career in professional services, learning that the tumultuous trip from departure to destination closely mirrors the way we navigate our career journeys.The experiences and insights in this book have been carefully curated and written by Brandon himself, drawing directly from his personal journey through the highs and lows of constant travel and navigating his professional journey.
