Embracing courage and building your dream life with Jay Huh

Embracing courage and building your dream life with Jay Huh

Author: SLCAutoPodcast February 23, 2026 Duration: 40:22

We’re incredibly grateful to have recorded this episode live at the last Pro Conference with Aaron and special guest Jay Huh.

As many of you know, Aaron has since passed. While his presence is deeply missed, his mission lives on. The Success Leaves Clues podcast will continue — committed to the cause he cared so deeply about: stopping the average small business from destroying the average small family in America.

Aaron believed business should create freedom, not fracture families. That conviction doesn’t end here.

In this episode, Jay Huh brings his unmistakable passion for changing the industry and his call to embrace courage — the kind of courage it takes to build not just a successful business, but an incredible life. Jay is a true force for good and a relentless advocate for helping others rise.

We’re honored to carry the torch.

Enjoy the episode.

Behind every thriving auto shop, dealership, or industry supplier, there's a story of how it got there. Success Leaves Clues: An Automotive Industry Podcast digs into those stories, moving past the myth of the solitary genius to explore how real growth happens through shared knowledge. Each conversation pulls back the curtain on the day-to-day realities and pivotal decisions that shape careers and businesses. You’ll hear from shop owners navigating expansion, technicians mastering their craft, service advisors building client trust, and the investors and vendors whose support keeps the entire ecosystem running. The dialogue gets into the specifics-the operational tweaks, the leadership challenges, the customer service philosophies-that actually move the needle. This isn't about abstract theory; it's a practical look at the automotive trade, built on the premise that the most valuable insights often come from someone who has already walked the path you're on. Tune in for honest, detailed conversations that feel more like a mentorship session than a broadcast, all focused on the tangible clues that lead to lasting results in this demanding field.
