Selling Two Digital Marketing Platforms to Cars.com | Joe Chura
Today we have a special guest and good friend of Exitwise, Joe Chura.
Joe has had an incredible entrepreneurial journey starting on the Ford Motor Company assembly line to founding two automotive digital marketing platforms, which he sold to cars.com in 2018 for a walk off home run outcome. Joe is an exceptional leader, marketer and lifelong learner who has taken on many different challenges well beyond the businesses he's most widely known for.
I hope you enjoy my conversation with Joe Chura.
