Episode 78: A Look Back with My LAST Boss, Brad Zara
Published 3 years ago
Description
This is a VERY special episode.
Jacob sat down with his beloved mentor, friend, and the last boss he ever had before launching into entrepreneurship: Brad Zara.
Brad thoughtfully recounts his journey from high school valedictorian to auto body technician - and then what came next: launching his own collision center in central Illinois that turned into the most reputable and well-known companies in his area.
In stories that eerily parallel Jacob's journey, Brad talks about his last boss's words of encouragement, the initial struggles of getting a $20,000 loan to go out on his own, his own dad's role in the early days, plus advice for today's business owners.
Jacob & Brad also talk about the hardest part of growing a business, what to do when you hire the right people for the wrong positions - and even worse, how to deal with toxic employees - plus the best advise for someone just starting out... and so much more.
Enjoy!
