Industry legend Charlie Horky returns to the podcast to celebrate the release of his new book, Unbreakable Path — a raw, fast-moving account of how he built one of the largest limousine companies in the world, lost it all, and rebuilt his life and career from the ground up.
In this conversation, Charlie shares what pushed him to finally write the book, the pivotal moments that shaped his rise at CLS, the missteps that nearly ended everything, and how he found his way back with Slade Services. This episode pulls back the curtain on one of the industry’s most talked-about figures — his wins, his failures, and the lessons he hopes operators of every size will take from his story.
If you want the truth behind the folklore, the mindset behind the risks, and the perspective that only 45 years in the industry can provide, you won’t want to miss this one.
