Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG Black Series – Project Unicorn

Lifestyle, Autos
Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG Black Series - Project Unicorn Having seen, driven, and owned almost every exotic car out there makes it difficult to get excited about any new car that we acquire at Secret Entourage and Exotic Car Hacks. However, things changed recently when we got the opportunity to get our latest project, which we later chose to call "Unicorn" due to its very rare nature and the fact that it was white (which is also extremely rare). This unicorn is the limited production Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG Black Series, a car that was released in 2009 as a one-time production run of 175 units of which only 18 were made in white, and the only one Designo white on white. It had been awhile since we were this excited about an exotic car arriving on the delivery truck.

Secret Academy Episode – Austin Netzley

Secret Entourage Academy
Secret Academy Episode - Austin NetzleyAustin Netzley wanted what many Americans dream of: a college education followed by a stable and high-salary career in the corporate sector. Not only did he achieve that by earning an engineering degree and securing a job at a large oil company in Houston, but he also accumulated over $72,000 debt in student loans. Coming from a middle class family, he learned the importance of being frugal and was able to pay off all his loans within 3 short years. After initially wanting to further his education with a master's degree while working, he realized that he didn't want to be a part of "the system" in the corporate world. He started day trading on the side, and a few years later was able to quit his corporate job to pursue his own business. Austin started a blog and podcast to teach others to take their money and mindset to the next level, and wrote a book using information he had learned from other entrepreneurs. Today, he helps publish and sell books for clients through his business, Epic Launch.

Secret Academy Episode – Chris Hodges

Secret Entourage Academy
Secret Academy Episode - Chris HodgesChris Hodges was born in Michigan and knew early on that he wanted to be in the business world and interact with people. He was heavily inspired and influenced by his father who worked at Ford for 40 years in the marketing sector. Even though he already had it set in his mind that he wanted to become an entrepreneur, he decided to pursue a college education at Purdue to hone his skills in business. After receiving an undergraduate degree, he moved to Miami and got a job at TracFone Wireless doing market research. While in Florida, he decided to get his masters degree at University of Florida, and it was there that he met his future business partners. Chris and his cofounders realized that the growth in the economy in recent years has led to more and more job openings. Their idea was to create a mobile professional job network that connects job candidates to hiring companies called GoGig which will launch sometime this year.
