Night Shyamalan to appearing on Grey's Anatomy. Raw, inspiring, and full of practical wisdom, this conversation proves that faith, grit, and relationship-driven leadership can overcome any setback.

From discovering the unfinished experimental serial number 1057 prototype in a small Wisconsin garage, trading multiple cars, a diamond ring, and more to acquire it in the middle of the 2008 financial crisis, to the explosive New York Times feature that put the car on the world stage, hoax accusations from bad actors, online hate, threats, a windstorm devistating the auction site in Scottsdale, AZ where the car was supposed sell, multiple buyers dying before they could complete the purchase, a bankruptcy, and a comeback. Justin holds nothing back. Hear the full journey: the near-death experiences with bad inventory, fighting the bank, restoring the Holy Grail of Tuckers while the economy collapsed, and how the car eventually found its current owner, who turned the so-called "Tucker Curse" into a blessing.
