FROM TURNING WRENCHES TO RUNNING AN EMPIRE This Local Power Sports Tech Just Flipped the Script on His Life. They said he was “just a mechanic.” He said… watch me. In this explosive episode of the Level Up + Live Podcast, host Sean Meyers sits down with Chad Pope, the mastermind behind Precision ATV, to unpack the wild, gritty, faith-fueled story behind one of the fastest-growing power sports repair and fabrication shops in Montgomery County. From riding four-wheelers in the creeks as a teen… To driving his first business straight into the ground at age 20… To clawing his way back, building a shop from nothing, and chasing a 100 engines a month mission, this story is pure fire. But here’s the plot twist: This isn’t just a “how he built it” story. It’s a raw confession of failure, faith, and fighting your way out of the fog. Inside this episode: The face-plant that nearly ended Chad’s dream before it began. The “helicopter owner” moment that forced him to surrender control. Why community and masterminds might just save your business (and your sanity). Faith, family, and the brutal reality behind building a legacy. “Don’t be scared to do it again. Do not.” — Chad Pope This one’s not sugar-coated. If you’ve ever felt stuck, alone, or like your dream is slipping away, this conversation will light a fire in your gut.
