Is it possible to run a successful auto repair shop with your spouse, keep it stable and solid for three decades, work on your personal growth, and transition from business owner to CEO? The Weatherbys are living proof that it's possible and are here to tell you how they pulled that out. 

This week, we revisit my conversation with Kelli and Lee Weatherby, owners of Accurate Automotive. Together, they created a fantastic crew that became part of their family, have been serving the greater Phoenix and East Valley since the 1990s, and feel honored to work side by side with their team to ensure the vehicles of their community run safely.

Throughout our conversation, you'll hear their thoughts on establishing boundaries, how and when to show gratitude, appreciation, and criticism, and dealing with the intersection of family and business affairs. You'll also hear about the tools that most helped them transition from auto repair shop owners to CEOs, why keeping communication clear and respectful is crucial, and much more.
