From Hamsters to High Sheriff | Mark Mitchell

About this episode

Mark Mitchell shares his entrepreneurial journey from childhood hamster sales to running three car dealerships with a focus on employee happiness.

Mark Mitchell’s entrepreneurial gift was evident as an 8-year-old when he bought two hamsters, dimmed the lights, put the mood music on, and began raking in the cash after a short gestation period! Nowadays, he has three car dealerships and 106 happy colleagues (not employees) with no HR department because the need is not there, such is the joy and job satisfaction of his crew!
