From Car Sales to Purpose-Driven Entrepreneurship with Jason VanDevere

by Drewbie Wilson

In this episode of Call The Damn Leads, Drewbie Wilson sits down with Jason VanDevere, fourth-generation car dealer turned purpose-driven entrepreneur, to talk about stepping away from comfort, chasing passion, and the reality of building something that truly lights you up.

💡 Key Takeaways

1. Sales is the Foundation for Every Dream

If you can sell, you can do anything. The ability to communicate, persuade, and solve problems is the most transferable skill in life and business.

2. Seek Expert Counsel

Find someone who's already done what you want to do and ask how they did it. Mentorship and modeling shorten the distance between where you are and where you want to be.

3. Set a Focused 90-Day Goal

Clarity creates momentum. Identify one goal that, if accomplished, makes everything else easier or unnecessary — and commit to it.

4. Execute and Reflect

Action beats ideas every day of the week. But reflection turns activity into growth. Ask yourself regularly: What's working? What's not? What do I need to change?

5. Build Relationships, Not Just Revenue

When you reach out to influencers or potential partners, lead with value. Serve their audience first — that's how you earn collaboration, credibility, and trust.

6. Start Small, Stay Consistent

Don't wait for perfection. Whether you're pitching podcasts or running workshops, start small, make mistakes, learn, and grow from every opportunity.

7. Dream Bigger Than Your Fear

When your vision is clear and your "why" burns bright, rejection and setbacks lose their power. A big enough dream makes every challenge worth facing.
