From “Money is Hard to Make” to affording my car guy lifestyle and doing what I love | EP 36

This episode, I’m bringing on someone who’s lived through it all, a fellow car guy — from having everything handed to him, to working 7 days a week since college, climbing up, collapsing, rebuilding, and even facing the loss of his dad to Parkinson’s. Today, he runs an insurance agency that serves high-value clients and lives life on his own terms — including driving a GT3 RS and owning more than 20 different cars (REALLY living out his car guy lifestyle). But behind all that success, there’s something deeper. Real lessons. Real pain. Real growth. Julian’s story isn’t just about making money. It’s about evolving — from being dependent to becoming disciplined, from chasing stability to creating purpose. Whether you’re just getting started or already on your way, I hope this conversation will shift something in you.
