Today, we’re celebrating the release of Cleared for Wealth: The Airline Pilot’s Guide to Building Wealth Beyond the Cockpit, the first book from Spartan Investment Group co-founder and Chief Investment Officer Ryan Gibson.

Drawing on more than two decades in commercial aviation and his experience in real estate investing, Ryan explores passive income, investment due diligence, tax considerations, and retirement planning.

At the heart of the book is a question: What’s your return on life? While Cleared for Wealth is written for airline pilots, that question reaches further. How can we make financial decisions that give us more time and freedom for the people and experiences that matter most?

Congratulations, Ryan, on this milestone. Cleared for Wealth is available today.

A few great days in Moab with the Spartan team!

It was nice to step away from the day to day, spend time together, and get to know each other outside of work.

We’re grateful for the people who make Spartan what it is and for the families who joined us for the trip.

A great few days and plenty of good memories. Sharing a few highlights!

A clear strategy includes a thoughtful timeline.

In commercial real estate, a projected hold period reflects the time planned to carry out an investment’s business plan, from property improvements to supporting operations and preparing for a future sale.

At Spartan, each opportunity’s timeline is shaped around the plan for that specific asset.

Our guide explores common hold periods of 3, 5, 7, and 10 years and the role they play in the investment journey. These are projected timelines, and actual timing may vary.

A broader perspective helps put an investment opportunity in focus.

At Spartan Investment Group, occupancy is one part of the picture. We consider a property within the context of its market, local demand, and operating performance to better understand its potential for long-term value creation.

For our investors, that means a disciplined perspective that looks beyond a single metric and considers both opportunity and risk.

Consumer spending accounts for roughly 70% of the U.S. economy, which is why it is monitored so closely. Self-storage investors pay close attention when it slows down.

One recent signal: U.S. retail sales fell 0.6% in July, the first decline in nine months, according to Reuters coverage of the Commerce Department’s latest retail sales report. Moody’s Ratings has projected real consumer spending growth to slow to about 1.5% in 2026.

Tighter household budgets can trigger specific decisions. People delay buying a home. They downsize. They relocate somewhere more affordable. They combine households. Each of those transitions can create a life event, and often, a move.

History gives us an interesting reference point. Following the 2001 recession, existing home sales rose from 5.33 million in 2001 to 6.78 million in 2004, an increase of roughly 27%. Economic pressure does not necessarily mean people stop moving. It can change why and how they move.

Those transitions may create incremental storage demand, but the opportunity is local. It shows up in the submarkets where more households are moving, downsizing, or combining.

The national economic number is just the signal. The work is figuring out where those household decisions are actually showing up, and how investors may benefit.

Which asset classes may be positioned to benefit during periods of economic pressure? Because self-storage may benefit from an economic recession as life events occur more frequently - is it worth consideration for inclusion in your portfolio?

Consumer spending gets a lot of attention.

For self-storage investors, the more interesting question is what’s happening behind that number.

When household budgets tighten, people make different decisions. They may delay a home purchase, downsize, relocate, combine households, or reconsider how they use the space they already have.

These decisions can influence storage demand.

But national numbers only tell part of the story.

At Spartan Investment Group, we look deep into individual markets, household growth, employment, housing activity, low saturation, weak competition as well as other factors help us understand where demand may be heading.

The economy changes. The job is to understand what those changes mean at the property level. If the market is underserved, we want to capitalize.

What consumer trend are you watching most closely right now?

Most self storage opportunities we evaluate never make it past the initial review.

Before we invest, we are asking some basic but important questions.

Is there enough demand? Can we build at the right cost? What does lease up look like? And does the deal still work if everything does not go according to plan?

Tomorrow, Ryan Gibson will walk through How Spartan Vets & Builds Self Storage, the first session in our new Spartan Investor Academy Live Series.

We’ll talk about how we evaluate opportunities, manage construction and lease up, navigate today’s cost environment, and think about risk before a project becomes a stabilized, cash flowing facility.

If you are already invested with Spartan, or considering investing with us, this is an opportunity to see how we think before we commit capital.

Ryan Gibson understands the financial challenges pilots face because he’s lived them himself.

He’s a commercial pilot, Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Spartan Investment Group, and co-host of the Passive Income Pilots Podcast.

At Spartan, Ryan spends his time evaluating real estate opportunities, structuring investment strategies, and helping guide the company’s long-term investment approach. His experience in both aviation and investing ultimately helped inspire Passive Income Pilots, a community built to help pilots think differently about wealth, passive income, taxes, and life beyond the cockpit.

This October, Ryan and fellow pilot and co-host Tait Duryea are bringing those conversations off the podcast and into the room at the Passive Income Pilots Conference in Las Vegas.

Two days of education, practical conversations, and connections designed specifically for pilots who want to be more intentional with their financial future.

October 8–9 | Las Vegas, NV

Join Ryan, Tait, and the rest of the speaker lineup.

If you are invested in the stock market and concerned about elevated valuations, you are not alone.

In recent appearances on The Diary of a CEO, Ray Dalio echoed Jeremy Grantham’s warning that markets may be facing “the biggest investment bubble in American history.”

Whether or not that view proves correct, the broader message is worth considering. High valuations can increase sensitivity to changing interest rates, earnings expectations, and investor sentiment.

For long-term investors, this is a reminder to look beyond recent performance and evaluate diversification, downside protection, and the durability of the assets within a portfolio.
