Join us this week as Petey discusses: risk, classic cars, racing motorcycles, crashing, and the experiences of building a private car club, with Michael Prichinello of Classic Car Club of ManhattanThe year was 2005, the concept of internet subscription services were just beginning to take root in our society. Along with those roots, came new economic trends, like the preference of experiences, over ownership. The Classic Car Club saw this, and became a part of a wave of new innovative business models, that would prove themselves to be very profitable.Risk, is a concept that Mike has consistently familiarized himself with, from being an entrepreneur, to racing motorcycles, to taking on personal projects that can help his business grow. Along with success, disappointments also do happen, but as he says “My second favorite thing in life is those huge disappointments, because if you don’t have those, then you don’t have the big highs”. He was an extremely open, mad cool, and friendly person that we are proud to know, just good vibes all around, and that is all reflected in this incredible club that he co-founded.You can check out Mike and his club on instagram @cccmanhattanFollow Petey and the podcast at @pdeezjokes @hopeofthehood

Join us this week as Petey discusses entrepreneurship with Kerby of KerbysCups! Grind, Hustle, and Dedication, are all buzz words that surround an entrepreneurs every waking moment. They are powerful words, that have sadly been over commercialized in our society to sell products. So instead, Kerby simply lives them. 7 years ago he started selling “Hood Daiquiris” to make ends meet. He never expected to do this for a living, but as he puts it in the episode, sometimes the grind finds you. He ended up doubling down and creating something larger than himself, larger than his product, it's a brand. His name, carries weight, and he works hard at keeping it in check. In the episode Petey and Kerby also discuss different actors, and public figures that messed their names up, in some of the worst ways possible, and how people should learn from those mistakes.Kerby is an inspiration to us all, someone that knows the true definition of hard work, and personally knows the humility that success requires of you. If you are someone looking to get out of a rough spot, someone that is trying to start a business, or someone that simply wants to create a name for themselves, but don’t feel like you know what direction to turn to yet, this episode’s for you.You can check out Kerby and his business on instagram @kerbyscupsFollow Petey and the podcast at @pdeezjokes @hopeofthehood
