4. Jay Adair | The Untold Story of a Multi-Billion $ Empire
A rare opportunity to hear from one of the brightest business minds in the WORLD.
From towing company, to global $38B enterprise… this is the story of Copart and Jay Adair who became president at the young age of 26. Copart had 30 employees at the time… it has 9,000 today!
If you invested $1,000 in Copart when it went public, it’d be worth $360,000 today.
Throughout the conversation, Jay details:
-Building a team that’s better than you
-The importance of generosity & purpose
-Not letting age hold you back from your goals (21:20…this resonated!)
-Sitting down with Mr. Ferrari (16:00)
Jay is an incredible human, and I hope you all enjoy his wisdom, humor, and kindness. As always, please share what you think!
