#216: Car Market Madness - John Ross

Always Be Building

This episode's guest is John Ross from WatchJRGO— the popular YouTube channel where JR blogs his life and tackles multiple projects like fixing old cars and remodeling his AirBnb.
We talk about the car market, the car flipping business, some of his craziest projects, EV trends, Tesla and its brutal pricing changes that have left thousands of people underwater on their car loans.
John shares real stories about the highs and the lows of being a full time content creator and where his future passions might take him.
I always enjoy talking to creators that have made a business out of their content and John is one of the best out there.
Hope you enjoy the show!
