Mentor | Entrepreneur | Engineer | Car Fanatic
Tony Whatley is a 25+ year serial entrepreneur, business coach, best-selling author, podcast host, and speaker. He is Co-Founder of LS1Tech.com and PerformanceTrucks.net, two online automotive performance communities which grew to over 500,000 registered members and 150 advertising accounts. These were later sold for millions to private equity, in only 5 years. Amazingly… it was just his part-time business!
Tony shares his mindset and business strategies within his Amazon #1 best-selling book, Side Hustle Millionaire, and teaches people how to startup, scale, and exit their companies.
He also became an expert in processes, systems, and leadership through his 20+ year oil/gas career, managing offshore construction projects well over $100 Million in contract value.
His purpose is to help people gain the knowledge and courage to take action. He strives to help others fulfil the unlocked potential within themselves.
When not performing the work that he loves, you can usually find Tony and his wife Lisa travelling the world or racing cars.
