#20 - Incredible Leadership with Shad Valle
Fri May 23 2025
Hey guys! Back with another episode of The Money Seed!
In this episode, I sit down with my former boss and mentor, Shad, who gave me one of my first opportunities at Metro Express Car Wash. We reflect on those early days—balancing school, work, and life—and dive into what makes a car wash more than just a place to clean your car. Shad shares valuable insights on leadership, accountability, and how customer service shapes both careers and character. His story is one of hard-earned wisdom, from managing a team of 12 to fostering a culture built on high standards and empathy.
We talk about why the little things—like team uniforms and clear expectations—matter, and how those details create a foundation for personal and professional growth. Metro Express might be in the car wash business, but as Shad puts it, it's really a leadership development company. Tune in for a meaningful conversation about work ethic, life lessons, and the power of leading with purpose. Questions or want to connect? Give us a call at 208-573-4622 or visit parker-advisors.com.
