Asking Supercar Owners What Business They Started! (Newport Beach)

Do you own any supercars? >> I own a lot of super cars >> and it costs $67 million. >> What's a piece of advice that you would give your 20-year-old self? >> Oh jeez. >> How big is your investment portfolio? How much is gas for a Lamborghini every single month? [sighs] >> I trauma bonded with the cars >> and I'm her doctor. >> How did you afford a supercar like this as a student? How much does your business do per year? >> This year we'll do about $130 million. >> I'm going to call you deal man. You got all the good deals, dude. Hey everyone, we're here in Newport Beach, one of the wealthiest areas in the country. And today we're asking supercar owners what their net worth is, what they do to afford a car like this and advice they have for people who want to become successful. Something I've always wondered whenever I saw cool cars like this is what these people actually do for a living. This is going to be an exciting video. So, let's go. [music] Any of you guys own any of these cars? Would you be down to do an interview? >> Sure. Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. What's your name, age, and what do you do for work? >> My name is Jay, age 49, unfortunately. and I'm a mechanical engineer, but I built some parts for classic 911s. And I have a company called 9 House. >> How long have you been a a mechanical engineer for? >> Too long. 30 30 years or so. Yeah. [laughter] >> And then when did you start your company? >> It's been about 10 years. >> Yeah. >> What made you want to start your company? >> I got my 911 about first 911 about 15 years ago. I was basically trying to find good headlights for it. I couldn't find them. I started building for myself and build a few for friends. put a few on eBay and Craigslist and kind of it grew from there. It just became a brand on its own. Yeah. >> What is this car and how much does it cost? >> Oh jeez. So I don't want to tell how much it costs because I don't want to keep track of it. I kept building it over time. I've had this for about 6 7 years, but it changed so much over time. >> How much would you say you put into this car in total? >> Rough estimate? >> Maybe 80K. >> 80 90. Yeah. >> How much would you say you spend to maintain this car every year? >> It depends how lucky I am that year. anywhere from a,000 bucks to 5,000. >> How did you get into cars and what made you get like a car like this? >> My gateway drug was a 1973 BMW 2002. 16 17 years ago, I found found one that I got for 6,000 bucks. >> Oh, wow. >> Yeah. Again, I started building them uh just to learn how it's done, right? Just YouTube videos and all that stuff. Of course, in time, the more I looked at those, the more I started seeing 911s. Then I got my first one and then basically kind of grew from there. >> Do you own any other cars besides this one? >> I have a few. Yeah. So, I have four 911s, couple of uh historic BMWs. Yeah. I have a BMW race car, a historic race car that I race in uh you know, invitational events and stuff. >> What's the best investment you've ever made? >> Best investment is probably my company 900. I basically didn't invest anything in it. Zero. [laughter] >> Yeah. It kind of just bootstrapped itself. >> How do you build a business like that from the ground up? So I was fortunate. So business like that I built it as a hobby. I didn't rely on the income from it. That's why it was a very low pressure, low stress >> uh thing. So I just built it for pleasure over time. >> Do you create content for yourself or how do you market for your business? >> I create content for myself and my customers are always super nice to me. They create a lot of content. I don't pay for marketing at all. >> Wow. >> Zero ad budget, zero marketing budget. Yeah. It's just word of mouth and you know rely on good customers, happy customers. >> So it's all organic marketing >> pretty much. Yeah. Yeah. >> What do you think is like the best platform for organic marketing? And what do you guys use? >> I use Instagram pretty much 90% of the whole thing and I have just a little bit of YouTube content, but it's just because I find Instagram easy to post things and you know maintain. >> Do you have a piece of advice for getting referrals or getting customers from your other customers? What worked for me is do an honest and decent job and things happen >> that way. Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. So, just do good work. >> Just do good work. Make good stuff that people need. It's super basic, but that's really what would work for me. >> What's the biggest piece of advice for someone trying to become successful financially? >> Spend very um responsibly. I wouldn't say don't spend, but be very responsible about it and be very selective and smart about it. What's a piece of advice that you would give your 20-year-old self? >> Keep whatever you're doing. [laughter] You're you're doing okay. You better be okay. Yeah, >> I love it. What's your name, age, and what do you do for work? >> Sam, I'm 31 and I own a paving rollup. So, we go out and we acquire paving companies. >> How did you get into that? >> Totally by accident. So, started out in tech. I was in sales for quite a while. Made the pivot to buying real estate. So, started buying single family homes. Moved to buying large apartment complexes, own everything from single family, multif family, storage. Real is a great place to go park money once you made it. It's a really tough place to go make a lot of money, right? I think there's a really big value in focus in terms of finding that one thing you do. And for us now, like we are total blinders on on paving. >> Can you explain what that is like just a little bit for the people that don't know? >> If you think about it, like we literally pave, you know, we go fix highways, we pave parking lots for, you know, Fortune 100 companies. And for us, like we've done a really great job of kind of taking the work on that no one wants to go do. We do all small job reoccurring maintenance work on our end. If you kind of look at there's a huge opportunity right now is the average paving owner is 58 to 72 years old. They've owned the company for 30 40 years because they grew up wealthy. Their kid now grew up wealthier than dad did. So they don't want to go take over dad's business. So in turn it creates really unique opportunity for us to go find owners who want a transition plan, go find a win-win scenario, go take their company over and go roll it into a larger platform itself too. And in turn in the future, right, if we ever do look to go have an, you know, a capital event, the bigger companies trade for a far better multiple than smaller companies do. >> How much money do you make per year? >> We actually make very little personally. We leave all the money in the company itself too. There's four main partners. We all take pre-market rate salaries, but our real money itself iselves in the company itself too. So people don't realize is that if you want to grow a business is leave a lot of cash in that company. For us, we have a lot of equity in the company itself, but we take more nominal salaries in terms of earnings themselves too. Most of it stays in the company and sell for growth. >> How much did the company do last year? >> Humanly, our business should do about 150 run rate this year if we make our next couple acquisitions. >> Where did you make the majority of your money? >> Most money was made in tech, right? in terms of going kind of going up in tech sales and then more so investing right lost my money investing too right in terms of of kind of holding value >> what do you invest in >> right now most mostly our own company so we have a lot there I have a lot in private credit I have a lot in real estate still legacy holdings my portfolio now is more so fixed towards two things right one is towards the company I own right and then two is towards things that pay me yield so I can go take less cash out of the business today >> how long has the company been running >> so our parent company about 8 years and then our division about three >> how do you market your business >> for us at least kind of my division of We are most heavily on LinkedIn. >> What kind of content do you create on LinkedIn? >> Mostly written. So LinkedIn video does not do great overall. We've now done a little more YouTube, more so for like midfunnel of folks. So our whole business is going out and raising capital for us. LinkedIn's great for attention. And then YouTube's been great for progression. We have not really cracked the code in terms of virality, but it's much more so like very targeted financial content that helps get someone from, you know, hey, we found you all to we want to opt in or opt out because our minimum check size is over $100,000. So we get bigger checks in terms of it. It's much different than if you're selling say info products or offers too where it's a very lower barrier to trust. Us is much bigger. So we use YouTube for much more midfunnel. >> What's your take on organic content versus paid content for growing a brand? Right now >> we do all of our stuff organic outside. We do paid ads for investor leads. Um that's been great. I think it's much more predictable on our end, but it depends also kind of what kind of business you're in too, right? I think organic you can't beat having an organic brand, but for us like we want the speed and the predictability. So paid's been great there as well. We more so use paid for attention and we use organic for progression in the funnel itself. How much would you say your your paid budget is like per month >> right now called 30k probably going forward close to 100. >> Is that all just meta or what else do you do? LinkedIn. >> Yeah, so all meta. We do no paid on LinkedIn and then we're doing a lot more in person events too. >> How do you get somebody to invest in you? >> I think the biggest thing is building a level of trust first. On our end too, we don't ever push people to go write us a check. We're much more so focused on just sharing what it is we're doing, giving information. Our goal here is to help someone have all the information that they need to make a decision to opt in or out. We want it to be their choice, their opting in. Maybe the biggest thing is building trust and knowing your space extremely well. >> What's your biggest piece of advice for someone trying to make it financially or be successful? >> If you're not making a lot of money, don't invest. Put money back into figuring how to go make more money. Like if you're making below 250 or depending kind of where you're at, go put all of your effort into making more money. For me, I did a lot of things early on. That was all really big distractions. If you have a lot of concentration in one area, that's how you build your wealth. Then from there, start placing different places as well to go preserve, grow it, etc. But having a big level of focus is a really big important thing to actually want to, you know, get extremely wealthy. What are the best skills to learn to get past that $250,000 a year mark? >> Hands down, sales. >> Sales. >> What you guys are doing, content is great, right? In terms of going to people, having conversations, but you can be uneducated and you can do sales. Like, you don't need a college degree. You don't need to go into debt. You can do it really young. And that translates to every aspect of your life. If you ever want to go own your own company, sales is the light bulb that actually goes and feeds it. So, hands down, sales and then figuring out what you want to go do in sales. Do you want to have a lot of scale? Whether you want to go sell very high-end products, whether you want to go open your own business, but sales gives you the background and competency to go do those things. How would you learn sales in today's day and age? >> I mean, there's so much stuff on YouTube, but I would go say just get a sales job where you either are doing one of two things, ideally the second one, right? Door door sales is great. You learn a lot of stuff like the stuff you're doing is awesome, too, of like you build that just, you know, the ability to go talk to someone. But I'd say number two is some of inside sales, right? Learning how to go use things like LinkedIn, cold email, picking up the phone, right? Getting your teeth kicked in a handful of times, too. Like that's how you go learn thick skin. But I'd say when you're younger, the biggest thing you can do is have some really good that you work for. I got very lucky on my end. I worked for the same three CEO three times while I was in corporate who was a true f like salesdriven CEO and for me I got to live in the guy's office every day until he kicked me out. So I got a full master class on sales from him which helped me massively my career like I am really you know privileged and grateful to have him as a mentor and then I got to go follow him each time. >> What was the best piece of advice that you learned from that mentor? >> Sales is much more EQ than it is being you know really intelligent even right. And I'd say if you understand people, I'd say the biggest thing that I got from him was say you're leading a big team. And I learned this the hard way many times is that if you want a team of people to go do things that you want them to do, you have to make it feel like it's their decision and they came up with the idea. So if you're leading a team, you want them to go to a certain direction, help them come to the conclusion and they bring out that that solution versus you bringing it up. So I think it's how to go get the team to lead themselves in a certain way has been massively helpful and I learned the hard way many times of doing it the wrong way and trying to use brute force that does not work. >> Any piece of advice for aspiring entrepreneurs? I'd say the biggest thing first is like going out and taking action really quickly. People I think at times have this philosophy of they want things to be really perfect and I think right now done not perfect is much better of go do things takes love action because most likely you'll fail a ton of times before you go figure out what it is that your thing is. So the more reps you can get it's great. I'd say if you understand your trade-offs and what you're doing and making sure the opportunity you're working on is really big. But first if you can go solve for your cash flow you can go operate much better position overall. Like say for example your life costs you $10,000 a month. If you can go first off for 10k a month, you have all this freedom to go figure it out what it is you want to go build and do, right? But if you're doing it from a place of personal financial stress, right, you can't go think clearly. You'll make certain decisions that that you would normally make. So, if you can go stabilize yourself first and then find something you can go think big on, that's you can make real money long term. >> What's your monthly rent or mortgage? >> My rent now is 15,000 >> in Miami. >> In Miami. Yeah. >> And do you live in a home or in an apartment? >> I just moved to a house. Biggest expense by far. I also work from home full-time. We host dinners there. That is my place that I'm at for 22 plus hours a day. So for me, having a place there was really crucial for me in terms of just quality of life. Like I'm not a big I know all these cars. I'm not a big car guy. I rather go spend my money on on a place to go live because that has a lot more utility for me overall. >> How much would you say you spend a month just living expenses? All expenses in total. >> Probably between 25 and 30 a month all in. So definitely housing is the biggest piece of that by far. Yeah. >> Any final advice for the audience? >> Yeah. I think something I learned really well about people and partners too is that there's different lenses of views that you have. And what I mean by that is that kind of back to an earlier point of if you look at something in a six-month lens, okay, how much money can I go make in six months or what would happen in six months, you'll think differently what you think of something in say 30 or 40 years. Like in our business, we are built on trust and reputation. So for us, if I did the right things today, you make certain sacrifices that in 6 months will hurt you, in 2030 years will be a massive boom for you overall. So if you can think of things from a long-term lens, you'll likely build better relationships, build better companies, right? And have something that's more sustainable. Right. I think especially in a place like Miami for example, like here in where Newport Beach right now, like this is a place, what do you work? Miami is a place where what do you make a month? You want to think in the former, not the latter. But if you can go think longterm and how you operate with people, relationships, business, work ethic, like you'll do really well in a long-term period of time. >> By the way, before we jump back into the interviews, I want to take a second to talk about today's sponsor, Charlie Chain. If you're watching this and you're a business owner who knows you should be on YouTube, but you just never have the time, this is for you. As you can see, the business owners that we were talking to today put a lot of effort into content and marketing, and the smartest ones are on platforms just like YouTube. So, after Charlie started and scaled over 50 plus YouTube channels, it made a lot of sense to build an offer that helps businesses do the same. With their team, all you have to do is show up and film, and they handle the strategy, the editing, the thumbnails, all of it. The link will be down in the description to apply and book a free strategy call. They're going to help you map out the systems and content your business needs to be successful. And now, let's get back into the video. What's your name, age, and what do you do for work? >> Max. I own a car dealership and I'm 27. >> How did you get into owning a car dealership at 27? >> So, I like fell in love with cars from the video games and movies in high school and started buying and selling a little bit in high school. Took a break going off to college and then fell in love with it. So, started buying and selling more. That evolved into a dealership and I totally bootstrapped it with a partner and recently bought him out. So, >> wow. >> Do you think you need to go to college to be successful? >> No. No need for the degree. Yeah. Dropped out. >> Oh, you dropped out. Okay. >> Did drop out. >> What car did you bring to the meet today? And how much does it cost? >> This one is a good flip. I got it a couple months ago. Nissan GTR. >> Uh 2012. It's my fourth. So that's cool. Bought it for 525. The Carfax value on at 74. I should sell it for like 70. With the industry that I'm in, I always look for a good deal. So that's the one that I throw miles on. Not too worried about depreciation, but that's what I drove. >> Do you have any other cars? And how much would you say altogether that you own in cars >> outside of the dealership and the GTR? Acura NSX. It's a 2002 and a Lamborghini Gallardo uh 04. Those are fun. About 300K, I would say. >> When did you get the Lamborghini? >> I just had my anniversary, so about a year ago. >> How much was the Lamborghini by itself? >> Just 60. I got a crazy deal on it. 60 grand for a uh cheap Gallardo. I self-serviced it >> and I think it's worth 8085. How much would you say you spend a year or you spend a month to maintain that car? >> Not too much. Knock on wood. Nothing major catastrophic has broken yet and I self-serviced it and so my like maintenance cost is really low. My insurance is like a 100red a month and then the most on gas definitely thrown miles on it. >> How much is gas for a Lamborghini every single month? >> Depends on how far I drive. At least 100 a tank. So 500 to a,000. >> How do you find a good deal on a supercar? >> There's all these different platforms. just Cars and Bids, Facebook Marketplace, not affiliated um but Cars and Bids, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, friends, community for sale signs on the side of the road. That's more dealership segment. So with a little bit of negotiating skill, you can make it happen. >> Do you feel that people treat you differently because you have a Lamborghini? >> Absolutely. There are social plays with it for sure. same person in the supercar and outside of the supercar, but it gets your foot in the door, I would say, uh, with a certain crowd and definitely putting smiles on faces when you're driving on the road is awesome. >> Did you do any modifications to any of your cars? >> Yeah, definitely. The Gallardo is maybe 5 grand. The NSX is zero and the GTR was budget. It came with the exhaust and the tuner and so I just got the blowoff valves and intake for like a,000. Put them on myself. >> How much do you make per year? >> Roughly, it's it's volatile being a business owner. This year's a little bit worse, candidly, but I would say 3 to 400. >> What was your best year in business? >> My net was 550 and the business made like 1.3. >> What's your net worth? >> Uh 1.5. >> Do you have any investments outside of the cars? >> Yeah, definitely. A lot of my capitals and stocks and then everything with the business is still selfunded. So, there's cars outside of the business, cars in the business, and then a decent uh stock portfolio. 750 right now. >> What do you invest in in the stock market? >> Index funds primarily. This is the craziest YOLO story. Uh, but Lily Stock, it's a pharmaceutical. My mom's dog's name is Lily. I saw it drop down, bought in like 250, and I've seen it run up, so that's been fun. I think I'm up like 150 on it. >> What? [laughter] >> That was a good play, but not not good advice. >> What's your monthly rent or mortgage? >> So, my mortgage back home is only a,000 a month. It's like a four bed, two bath house. Uh, because Indiana is so cheap, but out here it's 5K. Do you rent or do you own? >> I just rent here. I own the house back in Indiana, but I rent here. >> You have all the good I'm going to call you deal man. You got all the good deals, dude. What's your biggest expense right now? >> Payroll. >> Payroll. >> Yeah. Payroll to keep the team happy and funded. Well, I definitely believe in investing in the team and having the team produce for the business and so I take care of all the employees really well. >> How big is payroll? >> Uh 80. >> 80. Okay. Yeah. >> Awesome. What's your name, age, and what do you do for work? >> My name is Alec. I'm 29 and I own a clothing company called Cove. >> And when did you start that? I started it back in 2020 with my twin brother Sean. >> How much does your business do per year? >> This year we'll do about $130 million and next year we'll do about $250 million in revenue. >> What was your biggest year in business? >> It'll be this year in business $120 million. Last year we did about $34 million. So we've had substantial growth year-over-year since 2020. You know, we'll do 120 $130 million this year. >> Do you own any supercars? >> I own a lot of supercars. I've got this beautiful green with a coffee interior turbo s behind me. It's got a R1 exhaust and an engineering tune. It does about 800 wheel horsepower. I've got a UV purple GT3 RS. I've got a GT2 RS. I've got a Ferrari 458 GT3. And I've got a TRX and a Raptor R now. >> So, how much does this car cost by itself? >> This car right now is uh as it sits is 265,000. >> How much would you say you have altogether uh in cars? >> About 1.4 maybe 1.5 million cars. >> What was your first super car that you bought? >> My first super car is my favorite supercar. It's my UV Purple 3 RS. So, my brother's had probably 10 to 12 cars. I've kept that car and I've put I bought it with 10,000 mi on it about 3 years ago and it's got 26,000 mi on it currently. I take it all around the US. I've done multiple rallies with it. I've done probably 14 to 15 track days with it. I mean, I I absolutely love that car. It's my favorite car ever. And it was my first car. That was like my absolute dream car. When I started making money, I was like, I'm going to buy this UV Purple 3 RS. I found the best spec ever. It's a full spec and I was like, I'm keeping this car forever. And I told my girlfriend, I said, the day that I blow the engine on this car is the day that that car becomes a coffee table in our house. And I'm like, I'm serious. It's like that will go into my house one day. >> What's the most you've ever spent on a single car? >> We had a twin turbo Dodge Viper that was built by I think it was ANC or A&E and it was that one was about $450,000. >> Wow. >> That was the most expensive one we've bought. The 2 RS we actually got a great deal on it. 2 RS's are going for like a million dollar for something that's a low spec or highspec low mileage. That wasn't that bad. But the the Viper was that was $450,000. >> What's your best piece of advice for anybody looking to grow a clothing brand? >> I'd say this is more general business advice. Find something that you're passionate about. You know, for us, we started building our clothing company because back in the day, we saw a lot of white space with like Bibong, Quicksilver, Ruka. They weren't really serving us as customers. I grew up surfing. I grew up being in the water all all day long. And I was a genuine like highv value customer for them, like several thousand dollars a year. And it just there was no innovation. There was no, you know, change in design or anything. And we saw that white space with Cove, but we were also passionate about that space. Everything I'm wearing right now is Cove. Everything a bunch of my buddies that are here with right now, it's all CO. And it's cuz it's really good quality stuff. It all fits our aesthetic and our vibe on my target demographic. And if you're going to go start a business, say it's clothing, say it's cars or whatever it is, you need to be passionate about whatever you're selling because if you're your best audience, you're going to sell to yourself a lot easier than anybody else. >> Do you post content yourself or for the brand? And what has been the best platform for you to post on? >> We post content multiple places. I'd say the best platform for us right now is still Meta, so anything on Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok's also up there. We're really active on Tik Tok shop. We've been doing App Love and Snapchat and a bunch of other stuff. But I mean, realistically, if you're starting out, anybody watching this, it's like figure out meta ads first. If you can't afford to pay somebody enough to do it, you know, pay a media buyer, pay a creative strategist, whatever it may be. Companies are spending hundreds of billions of dollars a year. You know, we'll spend probably 30 or 40 million this year on ads alone. And I mean, we see a return on it. We're a profitable company. But you have to spend money to get in front of eyeballs and that's how you get customers. So, I'd say figure that out first and then everything else will kind of fall in line after that. >> What is your take on organic content versus paid content? >> I think there's a lot of space for both. I think organic is fantastic for brand building. We do a lot of organic content that just basically shows who we are as a brand, what we believe in as a company. Our slogan is die and empty. So, we go we do really cool with, you know, with our our influencers and our entire marketing team. >> Would you say money makes your life better or worse? >> Man, that's a loaded question. I think money is a tool to have a really good time. I think it's a tool to enjoy that time with your friends and family. I definitely don't think it's everything. I think at some point enough is enough. And I've definitely found that in the past probably year and a half. You get to a level where your monthly expenses are covered. You have a couple years saved up. You know, if you're grateful enough and lucky enough to have a house paid off and cars paid off, that's fantastic. If you can take care of your friends and family and go have genuinely great experiences, whatever wealth status you're at, I think if you have those relationships, that's true wealth. >> Do you live here in Newport Beach? >> I live down in Dana Point. >> How much is your mortgage or your rent per month? >> I just bought a house. It was about $3.5 million all in. I haven't paid it off yet, but my mortgage is about $20,000 a month, including property taxes and insurance. >> Would you say that it's worth paying that much to live in a better area? >> Yes and no. I think if you can really afford it, it's probably one of the best investments you can make just by being in a better surrounding and environment. >> What would you say is the best investment that you've ever made? >> I'll say one that's cheesy and one that's actually legit. The best investment I've ever made was in myself and just believing in myself. Again, sounds really cheesy, but I started Cove back in 2020 with my twin brother. It's actually like December of 2019. We started with $3,000. We have no other investors and we've built it into a, you know, we'll do $130 million this year in revenue. We've used lines of credit. We've used credit cards. We've went almost bankrupt three times. But we never stopped believing in the goal. We never stopped believing in having that freedom and we never stopped believing in the fact that each other could solve each other's problems. I handle all the finance and the operations. He handles all the marketing in the product. We work as a team every day. We've had a lot of struggle within the company. And like I said, we've almost went bankrupt a couple times just trying to learn stuff. Not out of, you know, product market fit just out of genuine stupidity in the business, right? Like cash flow issues, whatever. I always tell people the second best investment is a high income, you know, high- income skill set. It's really easy to make money in the S&P for me. It's really easy to make money in alternatives. I can go buy SpaceX, Open AI, I have access to all of it, but you need money to do it, right? like money makes money. I can buy this Turbo S for 230 and sell it for 265 because I have cash to go pay 230 for it. You need a high- income skill set to go do that. And that's probably the second best investment. One, it goes hand in hand. First one, go, you know, go invest in yourself, learn a skill set. That's great. Second one is go learn how to monetize that and make a shitload of money. And then you can, you know, you can go buy S&P, you can go buy, you know, Vanguard funds. Whatever you buy and you give it 10 years, dude, you're going to make money. >> What's a piece of advice you would give your 20-year-old self? >> Go for it.
