Story & Lesson Highlights with Chuck Haddad of Sherman Oaks

Chuck Haddad shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.

Chuck , a huge thanks to you for investing the time to share your wisdom with those who are seeking it. We think it’s so important for us to share stories with our neighbors, friends and community because knowledge multiples when we share with each other. Let’s jump in: What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
As I’m getting older you start to realize that family is everything. There is nothing more important than having family to come back home too after work. In my family I enjoy watching my nieces and nephews growing up.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Chuck Haddad also known as Hey Yo Chuck on social media, I’m a boutique used car dealer in southern California. I specialize in buying, renting, consigning, brokering and selling high-end used cars.

My line of work is pretty cool. I get to see fast cars with unique specifications that aren’t available to everyone. Cars that some people dream of.

It didn’t start out that way though. Many years of hard work in the industry got me to where I am today. My network is my net worth.

Lately some of my hobbies are reviewing Shawarma restaurants and hosting podcasts from time to time.

You can catch me on Cash, Cars and Superstars on Spotify and YouTube.

Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
My good friend and confidant Ben Halem thought me many things about the exotic car market. The good the bad and the ugly. He gave me the game when it comes to car sharing. He’s the king of his industry and saw potential in me. He’s also the co host of Cash, Cars and Superstars now streaming on all major podcast networks.

Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
There were countless times where all I wanted to do was just hang up the phone and go home and not have to worry about my day-to-day struggles..

Never give up. I could remember a time in my industry where I wasn’t making enough money, but I was making enough money to never lose hope. Eventually overcoming and succeeding in my goals.

Experts are not made overnight.

So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. Is the public version of you the real you?
I am a big believer of always keeping it 100% so what you see is what you get. The real Chuck Haddad is the same Chuck Haddad that you see and meet in person.

In the industry that I work in dealing with customers, it is so important to always be genuine, upfront and honest.

Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. If immortality were real, what would you build?
If I was around forever, I would build the biggest toy box to store all my public and private car collection and turn it into a museum.
