Description

What happens when a former Wall Street financier-turned-school teacher opens a five-bay auto shop in a small Maryland town? You get JJ — a powerhouse of faith, grit, and strategy. In this episode, JJ shares how he transformed his shop from grinding $40K months into a $450K+ monthly revenue engine — all without a massive facility or a big-city advantage. Learn how he used a coaching framework, customer service, and even AI to revolutionize operations, empower his team, and prove that purpose and process can outperform size and location.

Whether you’re in a 2-bay rural shop or a 50-lift mega facility, this episode will challenge what you believe is possible.
