Tony Whatley bought his first car at the age of 14. The 1969 Camaro was a rusty, 20-year-old car, but Tony had a vision for it. Before the days of eBay, Tony and his dad would hit up swap meets and junk yards to restore this car to its former glory. It was through this process that Tony developed his love for cars, which would lead him to pursue a mechanical engineering degree. While pursuing that, Tony worked full-time, hustling and grinding. Always sleep-deprived and broke, Tony hated that time in his life but knows that it was crucial in making him who he is today.
Further inspiration came when Tony had a near-death experience while racing in 2015. Having faced death, nothing else could scare Tony anymore, other than leaving this world without making an impact. Since then, he’s no longer afraid to share his bold opinions, but only after he’s done his research to back them up. He believes fundamentals, like consistency and discipline, will take you far. With 12 of his former staff members going on to build 7, 8, and even 9-digit businesses, Tony has literally written the book on how to be a Sidehustle Millionaire. His company 365 Driven encompasses his roles as a podcast host, author, mentor, and coach. Through 365 Driven, Tony hopes to inspire others to remain driven every day.
365 Driven is a movement that takes entrepreneurs to the next level. Tony recognizes the biggest regret of entrepreneurs is that they didn’t start sooner. So many of us are afraid of the potential critics that we find ourselves waiting until everything is perfect before we begin. Spoiler alert: nothing will ever be perfect. Imperfect action beats overthinking every time. Tony helps entrepreneurs to get out of their own heads to either start or grow their businesses. Tony has a true knack for creating an emotional connection so that the lesson or takeaway really sticks.
