CAREER & LIFE CHALLENGES
When I began Secret Car Club, it was by invitation only, which allowed us to manage crowd sizes. Today, with social media, people would hear about a Secret Car Club event, and show up. Some would have drones, video footage, and then their friends who saw the drone footage on social media would show up. Crowd size increased drastically, and with that, problems arose. I had to shut it down. We now have a new venue, and it is working out well for us.
