    Keep It Tight At The Corners: Vision, Focus, and Fast Cars With Mike Zappone

    At 19 years old, Mike Zappone bought his first limousine with no money down and no business plan—just a passion for cars and a hunger to build something of his own. Thirty-three years later, he sold his multimillion-dollar transportation company and discovered a new gear in life as a professional EOS Implementer. In this episode, Mike and Matt explore the parallels between racing and entrepreneurship: staying focused through the corners, keeping your vision clear, and knowing when to hit the brakes. Mike shares how he scaled his company from one blue Cadillac limo to a nationwide network serving 650 cities, the lessons he learned from a near-fatal motorcycle accident, and why most visionary leaders struggle to communicate the vision that’s crystal clear in their own heads. If you’ve ever wrestled with shiny-object syndrome, hit a wall with focus, or needed a reminder that humility and gratitude are part of growth, this one’s for you.
