Joey Battista is a CEO, coach, and founder of Battista Academy ? but his real story is one of grit, humility, and a relentless drive to leave people better than he found them.

Whether he?s running his dealerships, mentoring a startup founder, or speaking to a packed room, Joey brings raw honesty, hard-earned wisdom, and a belief that the most valuable thing you can leave behind isn?t your bank account ? it?s your example.
