In His Own Words:

"Vision without action is a dream. Action without vision is a nightmare." - Lewis Howes  

Like many hosts, I have a vision that is far greater than most people can comprehend. It's scary to pursue a dream, it's frightening to rent your cars out to people and even more frightening is growth or failure. You're not alone on this journey. I'm on it with you along with several other hosts and coaches. 

You can fight fear and failure with preparation, dedication and being relentless about your success.   In all aspects of my life, I aim to improve each and every day. The Carshare Academy is our training ground for what this business will throw at us. I learn because I share. If you want to grow surround yourself with people that want do the same. I'm excited and humbled to be part of your success.

In Her Own Words:

Natasha-lee has lived in the DC,MD,VA area since 2016. Originally from Puerto Rico, she came to live in the mainland for her architecture career. She quickly became involved in other hobbies like acting in theater and film. 

Even though DC has a great public transportation system, Natasha-lee quickly realized she was going to need a car to move around to auditions and site visits for her day job.   She had used Turo since 2018 in a trip to Colorado as an alternative to car rental. After that trip, there was no turning back! Turo was going to be her main market for renting vehicles. After renting for a while and having a need for a vehicle gears started turning. How this could be an investment instead of just buying a car for herself. This lead to months of extensive research; What car to buy? How much would it make? Will I be protected if someone else gets it damaged? All these questions needed to be answered before considering buying a car for this platform.   

"I want to become a beacon of guidance to new Turo Host and grow alongside other host to make this community the best there ever was. Turo is such a new concept. Even though it has  been around for a decade a lot of people are still learning about it. I have had such a welcoming and helpful experience by joining the Carshare Academy, it became really clear to me that I should be viewing other Turo host not as competition but as allies. I want to be part of making this community stronger and giving the best car sharing experiences hosts can give in an easy, respectful and informative way. "

In His Own Words:

My name is Ryan Hill. I chose to retire in Seattle after 21 years of service in the Army. I started doing Turo so I could show my sons how to have multiple streams of income. 

I wanted to become an Associate Coach with Carshare Academy because there are so many others out there just like me! I would see questions asked on different forums and watch the person asking get ridiculed. We all have a "day one". I want to help other Turo hosts through the roadblocks and issues I faced, and still face, while navigating through this exciting platform.

In His Own Words:

As a “car guy” with an entrepreneurial mindset learning of Turo was such a blessing. My initial knee-jerk reaction was to run out and buy a car, list it, sit back and count the Benjamins. Little did I know I had a lot to learn. Thank goodness 50+ 5 star trips later I am still here to talk about it, this did not happen by accident. 

An accident would have been to continue to believe that I knew it all, worse yet following the often shady or flat out bad advice you may receive on some of the Facebook pages we’ve joined along our journeys. Those of us that will profit and succeed in this industry are the ones that realize if each and every host does not succeed Turo will not succeed and the business we’ve worked so hard to make profitable will fail. 

I think I can safely speak on behalf of William and my fellow coaches when I say we don’t necessarily know all the answers, we are human. As coaches we have many resources available to us as well as connections in the industry. Rather than make a costly or even worse a legal mistake, reach out, contact us, take advantage of the experience we have gained and the successes/failures we’ve seen along the way. 

As you learn I learn, if you fail I fail, together we can navigate this experience successfully. Sorry for such a long introduction I’m just very passionate about the platform and the mission myself and fellow coaches have taken on.

"What a long strange trip it's been!" ~Jerry Garcia
I grew up  on the south side of the tracks in a small, rural Illinois town surrounded by corn fields and coal mines. An average childhood in an average family, an average graduate from an average small high school with no real plan for life beyond commencement.

Like a small boat caught up in meandering ocean currents, life carried me from place to place all around the United States, from the Midwest, to the bitter north, to the deep south, to the majestic Inland Northwest, to the rough and gritty Detroit Metro area.

 
Somehow, with minimal college education and no degree, I always managed to do well in the workplace, first in retail management followed by a 24-year stint in the print and digital media industry in which I finished the final nine years of my career as a senior business development executive for most of the nation's largest media companies.

 
Those I have worked with, and those who worked for me  over the years  described me as a self-assured, assertive, visionary, and curious problem solver who enjoys challenges and is capable of innovative thinking that surprises others with unusual yet effective solutions. I found myself in the unlikely position of being considered a thought leader, coach, consultant, and enjoyed many occasions of standing on stage teaching and inspiring others at conferences around the country.

In the midst of all of that I spent time as the leader of a spiritual community and made several journeys to South America to do what I could to make life better for impoverished and forgotten children in rainforest villages and urban slums.

Today I am the owner of four businesses, a rental car company, a travel agency, a publishing company, and a coaching firm.  My passion project for the remainder of my years is to combine coaching with travel, leading clients into new chapters of their lives while leading them through some of the world's most beautiful places.

I'm a writer, teacher, daydreamer, a nostalgic, a frequent malcontent, insatiable vagabond, and occasional contrarian, but at the end of the day someone who simply want's to live fully, laugh often, experience beautiful places, have breathtaking experiences,  and leave the world a better place because I existed.

"To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."  ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
