In this episode, Mike sits down with Philip Bunting, co-founder and CEO of ALSET to talk about building a business by fixing a problem he personally experienced. After purchasing his first Tesla and running into confusing pricing, missed callbacks, and upsell-heavy shop experiences, Philip set out to create a simpler, more transparent way for vehicle owners to protect their cars.
The conversation explores how that idea became ALSET, why clear pricing and streamlined systems matter, and what it takes to turn a single Portland location into a growing franchise network focused on electric vehicles, efficiency, and consistent customer experience.
