Living Your Dream with Jamail Larkins

This week I talk to Jamail Larkins. From the ripe age of 12 when Jamail Larkins stepped inside an airplane and co-piloted his first flight with the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Young Eagles Program, he was hooked for life. Jamail realized quickly in order to fund his passion for flight; he needed a plan to make more money than the average teenager. To do so, at the age of 15, he founded his first company - Larkins Enterprises, Inc., an aviation sales & advertising company. Since its first inception, Jamail has transformed Larkins Enterprises into two successful business units, an aircraft sales & leasing company and an aviation consulting firm. Collectively, Jamail’s companies have generated over $7.5 Million in annual sales. He has flown with the Navy’s prestigious Blue Angels, been featured in the Franklin Institute, been named the #1 Entrepreneur under the age of 30 by Inc Magazine, received a Certificate of Special Recognition from the United States Congress, has been named One of the “History Makers In the Making” by MSNBC’s The Grio, and most recently has been the Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year by Black Enterprise Magazine. Jamail currently resides in Atlanta, GA, but can typically be found flying around the country, spreading his passion and expertise in the field of aeronautics.
