Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy · Asurion: 50X Season Two - (50X, S2) · 6 Jun 2025 podcast

Then Jim Ellis, as you mentioned, took that role.

He graduated in 1993 and took that role from 1993 to 1994.

And of course, I don't know when they first met each other or how they became acquainted, but by the time Jim had taken over and was partway through his one-year term, he and Kevin were well-acquainted.

I do.

I'm not the one to tell it, but I'll tell you my recollections are that, like Amos and me, they were coordinating their efforts, but separately looking for something to buy.

And they had studied the towing industry.

So Kevin wasn't as enthusiastic about towing business and towing related businesses as Jim was.

Jim persevered.

And Kevin showed up one day and said, I found a business I think I might want to buy.

It's a physician practice in Miami, Florida.

And it serves the Hispanic community.

And the doctor who's willing to sell it to me for a reasonable price is Hispanic himself.

So everything's conducted in Spanish.

Then sometime later, Kevin came back and said, well, wait, I don't know that I want to do that.

He said, I talked to one of my prospective investors, Bill Egan, and his first question was, do you speak Spanish?

When I had to confess that I didn't speak Spanish, Bill said, you might have a pretty uphill fight figuring out how to buy and operate that company.

And he said, that turned the tide with me.

And maybe there were other steps that intervened, but then he and Jim reunited.

And Mr. Rescue, as I understand it, was an offshoot of learning about the towing industry.

That opportunity came up immediately.
