Yossi Levi shares his incredible story: transforming a small family car lot into a $28 million dollar powerhouse, founding venture-backed Gettacar and growing it to $90 million in revenue, before returning the capital to investors and growing his anonymous Twitter account into Car Dealership Guy, a B2B automotive media empire.
