[@detailingbeyondlimits]

Amazing and well-made episode all around 🎥 Thank you CNBC for having me on! 🎉

[@sakuranowa]

es todo compa!

[@MrJob1994]

Love your work ethic! Im certain youll business will be even more succesful! Get into real estate if you get the change, passive income is your friend (no need to buy your own place)! Or just invest some in stocks after a crisis, there is no better time. Ive been investing 11 years, since i was 18. These are my takes! Good luck man!

[@EddieLoboNunez]

Wowww this is excellent bro!! Congrats keep it going. Buy a car wash next and hire people!!

[@christjesusistruth3629]

Hard working young man. Hope you come to the Knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. See what he says in the bible. Hope all goes well, and hope you serve the King creator of Heaven and Earth. I pray for your family to get to know God. Jesus Christ.

[@LuisLopez-uy5jc]

Glad to see you featured here. I've watched a few of your detailing videos. You seem like a great guy. You also do a great job on your videos explaining things.

[@mtalhaawais]

Nothing but respect for the kid. Very level-headed and seems to have a great work ethic. All the success to him.

[@shinyam75]

He is very hard working, cares about doing a good job, and has a great attitude. He has a KZbin channel which is great for those who want to get in the business.

Nice job buddy, he's 22 years old and already a business owner 💪🏽

[@dmalka336]

So impressed.

[@tonylin9639]

That's impressive, what's more impressive is that he's only 22 and been with girlfriend for 6 years. That means he really truly loves her. He budget his money well. He look like a nice respectable man.

[@bmw803]

He's basically not part of the STOOPID in America epidemic. Raised by a Hispanic family!!! That helps a lot.

[@and497]

Anyone who is willing to work hard and contributing to our society deserves my respect. Well done, man!

[@selfridgesforever4399]

Respect to him! Running his own business at 22 years old is amazing. Would say he needs to make sure he’s investing in retirement and buying a property but good on him. His father would be proud!

[@alexc9963]

i imagine he will do that once he has more saved up. one step at a time

[@branflakee4257]

Retirement and medical. Kids today are dying early from colon cancer

[@camaro720hp]

​@@branflakee4257Agreed. Lost my Brother to colon cancer. It's pretty messed up.

[@rafaelpaun1907]

Colon cancer? Kids? You mean from drinking and driving, violence, or like motorcycle crashes? But you choose colon cancer? Lol that’s random

[@marvin2678]

[@cupcake150911]

As a parent, I was just smiling all the way through. Randy your dad is proud of you and may your life/business flourish. Thank you CNBC for shining light on this amazing human and one of my favorite features.

[@rodrigo964]

were you smiling as he worked hard for little pay? did that make you smile?

[@catarinak2543]

This guy is smart, hard working, and incredibly driven. He will go far. All the best with your business!

[@bulelanibotman]

randy father was a real man, a true father, a real father figure. look at how he motivated the young man & instilled some good values and morals. you can see how his father death really affects him even when he talks about him, he wants to cry. this was one motivating video

[@callsupport722]

respect to this young man. no excuses, no handouts, just hard work to provide for his family. I wish him nothing but success and if i lived in the area i would be a customer.

[@NokthulaMadondo]

Loved Randy's story. His dad although no longer present he left Randy with all the wisdom. What a bright young man he is. Absolutely ❤ him.

[@yugiohonline26]

Shout out to your dad.

[@Duane_514]

I know his DAD is so proud of him! This kid is amazing and goes to show how hardworking immigrants are and how they greatly contribute to there communities and this country! Great job CNBC❤ Would love a follow up segment in a few years…

[@jonathanwstx]

I’m in my 40s but when I was his age I wanted to do exactly what he’s doing. Unfortunately I didn’t understand the importance of budgeting like he does. This is really awesome man. Keep going ! Your family is proud of you

[@zettanganga8015]

This young man has really inspired me to become self-employed soon. 🎉🎉

[@joannaa9728]

My full admiration and respect for this kid and his parents.

[@_KNUCKLE.]

Dude is 22 years old spending $400 a month on his girlfriend, comfortably! I cant let my wife see this 😂

[@alexc9963]

lmaoooo

[@smartymcfly7972]

Or learn and apply ? 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@JakeRichardsong]

Lol.

[@CihttiBabbuu-dt9qw]

Lol it’s Florida . Try that sh💩in NYC or California 😂

[@jamesblunt3093]

True love

[@rebeccaalexander5606]

This kid is literally not using social media to become "famous" like the rest of these kids. He's a talented individual literally earning hard money, working day in-day out and inspiring others in his life. Much respect!

[@jasonburns6411]

Well done young man!

[@AmsterdamEats]

Love these kind of stories way more than the next hot startup

[@Ikeconomics]

Hopefully, this video brings more leads in for him! Love the hustle!

[@lucaswiredin]

What a great example of ingenuity and integrity! That is awesome! Also-I wish I could get my car detailed for that cheap!

[@leagueofSEs]

I've seen your van around all the time! I'm seeing car washes pop up all over South Florida, but if my car ever needs a detailing, I'll definitely reach out to Randy. Great story and passionate guy.

[@josephdiaz1705]

Excellent work ethic and family values . Nothing but respect for you and your business. Hope you continue to grow.

[@throwuout87]

Dude is killing it, its hard to wash cars and run it himself ! Nothing but good vibes for this kid, seems like he loves and is proud of what he does

[@purposefullivin]

I love this! 😍 I'm from West Palm Beach so this video really resonates with me. I used to patronize the hand car wash/auto detailing business owners back home and they always did a great job; I really miss it, it's not as prevalent where I currently live. I wish this young man all the success he and his family deserves 🧡

[@alexg.9279]

Well, don't be a cheapo and go get a detailing and TIP too or then karma will follow your ash 🥴🤣

[@theplacesigo4169]

Great episode. Kudos to this guy for having his business at 22. His dad would definitely be proud

[@vvolfbelorven7084]

Perfect timing! Great job Randy! I'm thinking about setting a car detailing company with a friend soon. Thanks for sharing your experience and I wish you all the best!

[@robshin8078]

This young man has a great head on his shoulders and a great heart for his family & loved ones. God bless you, Randy!

[@JeffreyHowell]

What a huge inspiration. Good, level-headed and smart young man. Loved this episode. Continued success Randy!

[@user-hw9vf4pl9s]

Much respect to this young man!! You will go far in life, you have the gift of family love and loyalty and the gift of entrepreneurial spirit. I hope you continue to go forth and prosper!

[@andrewtischer3114]

Great to see you setting such a powerful example to young adults. You stepped up. You have a vision for yourself and are following thru. Wish you all the success.

[@melanie-judedawson5986]

Wow he's seriously impressive, this makes me so proud. I know his parents are super proud of him.

[@BroiledSourGrapes]

This is how you build generational wealth; the family all coming together to share expenses. Allows for freeing up of otherwise spent cashflow to start and expand businesses much like this. He's going to leap frog past a lot of his peers. Good job, Randy. You'll have a house of your own overlooking the ocean at the rate you're going.

[@joet7136]

So many people whining that they aren't given this and that, waiting for the govt or someone to make them rich instead of being proactvie, being patient, and working hard.

[@DRNeKky]

Finaly someone who didn't benefit from their families connections and got into an Ivy leag college, and ended up working for a Fortune 500 company where after selling his/her mobile dating app for 4 trillion dollars, showing how they live on a 4 million dollar budget a month to "SURVIVE". This kid came from nothing and is going to places, one dirty car at the time! Go on my man, don't stop for nothing!

[@SaintsandSushi]

Exactly what I was thinking. This kid is not getting his bills paid by mommy and daddy and then pretending he is barely “making it” on a Ivy League salary.

[@MerrilDiniz]

Amazing, inspiring episode. I felt he grew up in a loving home - this is so imp - more than what school, and how much of an allowance you get - parental support is priceless!

[@canderson8533]

I wish he was around here, I'd definitely hire him to detail my car - a wonderful guy, great family.

[@Leisure3389]

Proud of you! Keep hustling. Nothing can stop you.

[@Chieffg]

This is by far my favorite millennial money yet!

[@Brucelee89896]

wow this is the real American dream, no excuses just the hunger to work hard for what you want. Instead of sitting complaining this kid is working his sweat off, im 25 and i respect his hustle 👌
