Ever since I was a little boy I have always enjoyed watching people succeed. For example there was a fast-food Greek restaurant across the street from where I grew up and it had great french fries. The owner had a bunch of his family working for him there and he drove a white 1973 Corvette. He always parked in the back of the restaurant out of the way of other parking spots and potentail door dings from other cars.
I would see his Corvette there every day I walked home from school. As a matter of fact, that is also the time I learned what a Corvette even was. One of my school friends pointed it out to me and told me about it and I have loved them ever since. Based on the fact that this restaurant owner had a Corvette and a really good fast food business, I equated that with success.
For years I would dream of owning a Corvette and was excited by every new year model that came out. Eventually, I earned enough money to order one of my own. A 2001 Corvette Convertable in Navy Blue Metallic with a black interior and black top.
Being a lover of cars and my Corvette, I learned how to best take care of my ride by reading books and magazines. Talking with auto painters and car care specialists. I also did research on YouTube when it became available.
YouTube is a very interesting space for how-to videos and just plain old entertainment. And the more I investigated cars and car care videos, the more I was able to hone in on certain people who I thought was the best at their craft.
About four years ago I came across this really passionate guy named Larry Kosilla, from AMMO. He loves washing and detailing cars and has been doing it most of his life.
Why do I care and why should you? Well, first of all, how many people do you know who are passionate about their job, let alone anything else? This man lives and breaths car care and product development. Yes, product development. He gets into the science behind car wax, sealants, and interior shampoos and cleaners. His goal is to always provide the best product for a specific job. And as a student of learning, he is always trying to improve on his work.
He recently just opened his very own detailing studio so that he can have a personally designed space to share his passion with others. I have a link to his video where you can see the studio from the design phase all the way through the finished product. Watch this: AMMO Studio Build
I have heard many success stories and enjoyed them all but I especially like seeing people succeed at something they are truly passionate about. This is one example and I hope you enjoy watching Larry's growth and success as much as I do.
