From Driveway Dreams to Auto Stars.
Do you have a business you’ve always wanted to start? What’s holding you back? In this episode, Kevin of Auto Stars Detail and Customization joins me on the show to share his entrepreneurial journey. Kevin’s passion for cars has existed for as long as he can remember. One of his cousins suggested that he start something of his own in the car industry, and he embraced the idea. Kevin and his partners, Nick and Dom, have successfully built Auto Stars and have plans to expand the business over the next 18 months. In this episode, Kevin shares his entrepreneurship journey—from his first business to his partnership, the celebrities they’ve worked with, and the challenges they’ve overcome as a team. If you have a business idea that you’ve yet to bring to life, Kevin encourages you to start small with what you have and grow from there.
