CAREER & LIFE CHALLENGES
My first business was a lawn and tree care company and it was a service-based business. I knew a lot about my business, but I didn’t know much about business. We had fancy business cards and pretty trucks, but it didn’t stop me from failing and losing everything. So, I learned some lessons and eventually started another company after that. I brought in some business people to help me with my second business.

If you enjoyed this show, please go to Apple Podcast and leave me a five-star review. That would help tremendously in getting the word out and help others be inspired by Cars Yeah.
Ray Cody is such an awesome man and I wish him the very best for the future. Can’t wait to get out there and see the festival.
Why not take your festival to the next level with a true judged Concour d’Ellegance instead of local’s voting for their favorite owners car ?
