Why the Best Leaders Create More Leaders
Live from ASOTU CON 2026, Steve Greenfield sits down with Danny Zaslavsky, co-founder of VINCUE, for a deeply personal conversation about entrepreneurship, resilience, leadership, and the experiences that shaped his approach to building businesses. From his family's immigration journey from Ukraine to growing up in an entrepreneurial household and eventually helping build one of automotive retail's fastest-growing technology companies, Danny shares the lessons that continue to guide him today.
Throughout the discussion, Danny explores the philosophy behind his leadership style, the importance of culture, mentorship, authenticity, and personal growth, and the belief that great organizations are built by developing people rather than managing them. The conversation also examines the future of automotive technology, the impact of AI on dealership operations, and why creating solutions that amplify human potential remains at the center of VINCUE's vision.
