The Art of the Hustle w/ Jerry King of King Limousines
Tuesday Jan 19, 2021
Tuesday Jan 19, 2021
We’re bringing a whole lot of Memphis grit and grind to the sixth episode of Biz School! I could think of no better example of the true Memphis hustle than my friend, Jerry King of King Limousines. From driving across the country 15 years ago to purchase his first limo, he now runs a fleet of high-end, high-demand limos and party buses. We talk about how how he built his business after leaving a job at Marriott, and how covid has affected business (and how he has made it through). And it sounds like his secret to success is actually something his mother taught him from the time he was little.
If you like stories about someone with an idea working hard day after day to make their dream a reality, you don’t want to skip this episode! Also, stick around at the end for a few great moments once the cameras shut off, but the conversation with Jerry kept rolling!
