Iowahawk: Julia’s Circle of Life
Great story.
It is the entrepreneurial aspect of why America rose to such economic heights.
I went to the Super Bowl in Indianapolis last February, and saw such a thing in action.
We didn’t want to drive the entire time we were there, so we began looking at transportation options, all of which were expensive.
The guy running the KOA we stayed at offered us a card. He said the guy in a black SUV dropped off a bunch of cards, which offered to take us somewhere for forty bucks when the same official options (taxis, limos, etc) were sixty or more.
Well, he was from Texas. He and a friend had rented five new SUV’s, drove them up from Texas and were driving for a top beer manufacturer, but they had a lot of downtime, so they were filling it with their own work. (They just had to drop everything else when the beer company called)
They were making damn good money from what I could see. We kept his team on speed dial, and they never let us down.
They were so enthusiastic about the success, they were going to get fifteen vehicles for the next Super Bowl.
