Somewhere over the United States, at thirty-two thousand feet, a plane is whizzing across the sky, with a passenger on board who’s on a mission to build a new dream. He’s looking out the plane window, taking a break from the Excel spreadsheet open in front of him, and pondering where to locate the new office and industrial campus his company wishes to break ground on in the coming year.
