In this episode, I'm joined by Uros Simeunovic, Founder of Washingtonian Luxury Limousine, a luxury transportation business owner in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. Uros shares his journey from growing up in Serbia to building a successful business in America, highlighting the importance of patience, resilience, and continuous learning.
What stands out about Uros' story is his perspective on education and entrepreneurship. Despite his current career being different from his college degree, he emphasizes how every class contributed to shaping who he is today. Uros also shares how his parents' dedication to their small grocery store in Serbia instilled in him an appreciation for business ownership and the hard work that goes into being a successful entrepreneur.
