In this episode of ASOTU Unscripted, host Errol Bomar sits down with Enrique Gago of Gago Brothers Automotive to talk about transformation, resilience, and rediscovering purpose through reinvention. Enrique opens up about how he unexpectedly entered the automotive industry—thanks to a favor for his then-girlfriend (now wife)—and how that moment sparked a journey into entrepreneurship, operations, and customer-centric innovation in his hometown of Ocala, Florida. Now running both an auto repair and tire shop as well as a used car dealership, Enrique shares the principles guiding their growth: transparency, community trust, affordability, and values-first leadership.
