Entrepreneur, innovator, investor, philanthropist, and film producer J. Eustace Wolfington joins Tarek on Y’all Street for a fascinating conversation about challenging conventional wisdom and pioneering retail car leasing. From a family business dating back to 1876 to starting his own dealership with zero capital, Wolfington shares the story behind Half-A-Car and how questioning the traditional way Americans bought cars helped reshape the modern leasing model. He reveals the eight principles his father gave him at Notre Dame that guided his career, the persistence it took to gain acceptance from Ford and thousands of dealerships, and his philosophy on leadership, customer relationships, and business. Wolfington also takes Tarek behind the making of Bella and Cabrini, explaining why he saw Mother Cabrini as an extraordinary leader and entrepreneur—and why sometimes the biggest opportunities come from simply asking, “Why do we do it this way?”
