Hello readers,
This week’s episode of The Larry Vaughn Show features someone who truly embodies courage, creativity, and purpose — Jacqueline Jasionowski, a former BMW leader turned entrepreneur who’s changing how the automotive industry thinks about communication, confidence, and growth.
For 17 years, Jacqueline built her career inside BMW, helping shape customer experience and leadership development. But one bold idea — teaching service managers how to meditate — set her on a completely new path.
She left corporate life to launch her own coaching and training business, focusing on one group most people overlook: the technicians.
Grateful you're here,
Larry
Finding Purpose in the “Unseen Heroes”
Jacqueline’s mission is simple but powerful — to help the people behind the scenes feel seen, heard, and valued.
By teaching automotive technicians how to communicate more confidently through video and conversation, she’s not just improving customer service… she’s transforming workplace culture.
Her story is a reminder that leadership isn’t about titles — it’s about impact.
Letting Go to Grow
Like many entrepreneurs, Jacqueline started as a team of one — running every part of her business herself.
But in this episode, she opens up about what it really takes to scale with purpose:
learning to release control, protect your quality, and trust the right people to grow alongside you.
As she puts it:
“When you start to release some of the control and have the right people in the right roles, that’s when you finally create room to grow.”
It’s a lesson every leader needs to hear — especially those who built something from scratch and struggle with letting anyone else touch it.
Faith, Resilience, and the Reality of Entrepreneurship
The conversation also dives deep into the real side of entrepreneurship — the late nights, the moments of doubt, and the constant balancing act between passion and burnout.
Jacqueline talks candidly about her faith, how it sustains her when things get uncertain, and the importance of remembering why you started in the first place.
“Entrepreneurship isn’t for the faint of heart — but when you lead with purpose and faith, even the hardest days can become your most defining ones.”
