Costa Oil - 10 Minute Oil Change

Michael Tilbrooke

Michael started out his career in business ownership after leaving a leadership position in a large durable goods manufacturing business out of MI. Through his first business endeavor in the indoor trampoline business in 2010, with a goal to franchise the concept, was introduced to franchising through a business ownership workshop in Los Angeles.

After realizing the power of growing a business model through franchising, Michael took on a position as a Franchise consultant in the Los Angeles market helping budding entrepreneurs find their business match through select franchise opportunities. Through his work with numerous franchise brands and with an eventual goal to be closer to family, moved into Franchise Development. Michael developed an emerging healthy food concept out of the Bay area into what is now a well-known national brand, Vitality Bowls Superfood Cafe. Michael joined Look Good brands in 2019 and is focused on developing emerging brands in the beauty and healthy living market segments.

Michael resides in Reno, NV with his wife and 2 boys. They love to take advantage of the easy access to local hiking trails and Lake Tahoe. Michael has a passion for skiing and mountain biking. He is an avid fan of Jazz, grown through his sons and the many music programs offered in the Reno area.

The Future of Public Transportation is Here Now!

Transportation is a personal issue shared by us all. To get around, shop, commute, get to the airport, we use a combination of cars, buses, trains, however, all have their share of drawbacks from wasted time in traffic, pollution, and 30%-50% of urban land is dedicated just for transportation.

Transit X builds and operates privately financed public transit podways that can transform cities and metropolitan areas to be green and walkable.

A podway is an automated transit network with the convenience, capacity, and cost to replace cars, buses, trains, trucks, ferries, and short flights. Transit X is the silver bullet for transportation.

Our guest, Mike Stanley, Founder of Transit X will enlighten us how ‘podways’ can safely provide the convenience and privacy we have in our cars, the high capacity achieved with buses and trains, the time compression from planes and is as sustainable to our environment as bicycles.
