The Blind Spot

‘Candid' doesn’t even begin to describe my conversation with this week’s guest, Charlie Horky. A true legend in so many circles, Charlie lays it all out on the table as we discuss his 40 years in the limousine and luxury transportation industry. From living and working during his heyday running EmpireCLS in Las Vegas, to his experiences with the ‘ultimate timeout’ of a 22-month prison stint, to what he thinks gives him an edge in his current position as COO of SLADE Services. If you’ve ever wondered about Charlie’s approach to life and the things he’s seen along the way — and even if you haven’t — this episode is for you. Thanks so much to Charlie for his transparency, and for sharing so many insights about the state of the business economy and how to stay competitive in an ever-changing environment. This is one for the books, sit back and enjoy. Also available on IGTV and YouTube for full video.

And we're back, thanks for tuning in. Really trying to break things down a bit in this episode ... we're all looking at a lot right now. Not only has the global pandemic crippled our economy, but a horrible death occurred in Minneapolis that has brought some core issues to the surface in a nationwide conversation. Additionally, there have been groups of people avoiding the direct issue and causing destruction to cities across the country. Today, I invited three great friends of mine - Tamekius Breland, Mike Fridge and Eddie Monroy - to discuss race in America and their personal experiences. This isn't meant to be political, but rather four adults having a discussion in order to better understand each other, and the state of things. Also available on IGTV and YouTube for full video.

This is a good one. If you don't know Jesse Burdick, he's a lifelong powerlifter and coach, and has worked with some of the best athletes around with the strength training program he developed, PowerWod. It's currently accessible online via digital membership or in person at Combat Sports Academy in Dublin, CA. But really those accolades are just scratching the surface - his knowledge about almost everything is amazing, and I'm lucky to have him in my corner. We could have gone on for hours, maybe he'll have to come back for Round 2. For now, hope you enjoy it. Also available on IGTV and YouTube for full video.

Whats up everyone? I hope you all had a great holiday season and a happy New Year. For UrbanBCN Worldwide, 2018 was amazing and 2019 will be just as great. This episode talks about my personal struggles that have caused me to be absent from a lot of my life. I hope this opens even just one person's eyes to the idea that we all might carry personal demons. Thanks for listening, and follow along on IG and FB.

Whats up everyone? Thanks for tuning in to another episode of the Limo Lounge Podcast. I had the chance to sit with a good buddy Sam Emam from BZZ Limousines out of New Jersey while we were at the LCT show in Atlantic City. We really got into deep conversation about his move from his family business to BZZ and how it allowed him to really step up his game. Everyone knows Sam as a great guy and this episode shows why. Hope you enjoy it.

Hey Everyone. Hope you guys are enjoying the podcast. This episode, I sit with my buddy Nick Boccio from Buffalo Limos. Learned a lot about the history of his family's company which was started by his grandpa. Hope you guys enjoy this one.

Hi Guys, had the opportunity to sit with Richard de Krijger from DMC of Amsterdam. Richard is a character in his own ways but his company has become one of the leading affiliate provider in his native country. We talk about the different rules that US operators should know when booking in Amsterdam. Hope you enjoy this.

Had the opportunity to sit with Raman Bhardwaj of CsrLuxe in New York and hear his story. It's the true struggle of the american dream. Hope you guys enjoyed it because I did.

This interview is special to me because I had the opportunity to get to know Kevin Duff over the last 9 months as he is a member of my Strategy Leaders Next Gen Group. Kevin has a wealth of knowledge which makes him an asset for his company. With all politics and bullshit aside, Kevin is a good dude and many people don't know him that well. I hope you enjoy this one.
