New Episode of Business on the Run is LIVE!
What does it take to build a business that's lasted more than 30 years?
In this episode, I sit down with Deborah Marie Weidamayer, owner of Testarossa Motors, to talk about entrepreneurship, leadership, and why taking care of people will always outperform simply chasing profits.
Deborah's story is incredible. She went from working on cars with her great aunt in New Orleans to becoming the only independent female auto dealer in Galveston County. Along the way, she's built a reputation for persistence, integrity, and putting customers first.
A few of my favorite takeaways from our conversation:
- Persistence opens doors that others think are closed.
- Great customer service creates lifelong relationships.
- The best leaders are willing to do every job in their business.
- Experience and intuition matter—but they're even more powerful when backed by good data.
- Never stop encouraging the next generation of entrepreneurs.
One thing Deborah said really stood out to me: she doesn't just want to sell someone a car—she wants to help improve their financial future. That's a mindset every business owner can learn from.
If you're an entrepreneur, business owner, or someone who loves hearing stories about resilience and leadership, I think you'll really enjoy this conversation.
Give it a listen, and let me know your biggest takeaway in the comments!
