What makes someone walk away from a prestigious consulting career to buy a local auto repair shop? In this real, raw, and relatable episode, Brittain Bost shares how he went from management consulting at Accenture to co-owning a growing blue-collar business through entrepreneurship through acquisition (ETA).

Brittain unpacks his journey—from falling through deals and learning the ropes in a high-volume shop, to building a business with heart, humor, and humility. He talks about partnership dynamics, financing, team culture, making bold industry jumps, and what surprised him most as a first-time business owner.
