JR Garage sat down with Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour to explain how a habit of buying and selling cars turned into a full-fledged business. Behind the JR Garage & Aviation brand, JR walks through the strategy that let him flip more than 100 cars while losing money on only a couple of them, along with his newer venture of flipping planes.
The conversation goes well beyond cars, moving into planes, ancient coins, historical documents, and even crypto, as JR breaks down how the same instincts for spotting value apply across wildly different markets. Sean Kelly keeps pulling the thread from one collection to the next, revealing just how far JR's approach to buying, holding, and selling extends.
