Life, Values & Legacy: Our Chat with dee jones of DOWNTOWN

We’re looking forward to introducing you to dee jones. Check out our conversation below.

dee, it’s always a pleasure to learn from you and your journey. Let’s start with a bit of a warmup: What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
5:30–5:45 AM: Wake and prepare. Get out of bed, immediately drink a large glass of water to rehydrate, and change into your workout clothes, which you laid out the night before. This simple preparation eliminates morning friction and gets you moving faster.

5:45–6:00 AM: Travel to the gym. This time can be used to wake up further by listening to an energizing podcast, music, or just enjoying some quiet time to mentally prepare for your workout.

6:00–7:30 AM: Workout. This is the core of your routine. Working out in the morning boosts your metabolism and releases endorphins that improve your mood and mental clarity for the day ahead. The exact routine can be customized to your goals:

For cardio: Consider a 30–45 minute run or cycle, followed by 10 minutes of a cool-down stretch.
For strength training: A structured program of 45–60 minutes, including both major lifts and accessory work, is highly effective.For variety: You can mix cardio and strength training, or do a targeted workout like the “5-4-3-2-1 method” (cardio, lower body, upper body, core, cardio).

7:30 AM and beyond: Post-workout cooldown. After your workout, you have a few options depending on what comes next. You could head straight home for a shower, or do a light cool-down stretch at the gym before you leave. A post-workout shower and nutritious breakfast will help you recover and refuel for the day

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hello, my name is Dee Jones. I’m a 42-year-old auto broker from Columbus, Ohio, with a deep passion for the automotive world that started back in 2001 at a Ford dealership. Since then, I’ve built my career on a foundation of expertise and genuine enthusiasm for what I do. Even if I won the lottery tomorrow, I’d still be here, connecting clients with their dream cars.

My Business

I specialize in sourcing and brokering high-end, exotic vehicles for clients across the country. My brand is built on delivering a personalized, transparent experience that takes the stress out of acquiring a specialty vehicle. The unique part of my business isn’t just the incredible cars, but the relationships I build. From the initial search to arranging nationwide shipping, I handle all the details to ensure a seamless process for my clients.

A Partnership with Zephyr Jets

In addition to my work as an auto broker, I’m a brand ambassador for Zephyr Jets, offering private charter flights. This partnership allows me to extend a truly exclusive, full-service experience to my high-end clientele. For someone purchasing an exotic car, their lifestyle often demands the flexibility and luxury of a private jet, and I can now facilitate both, connecting land and air transportation needs.

Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
Personality: Outgoing and friendly.

Athletic Interests: Played basketball and football.

Martial Arts: Engaged in martial arts training.

Education: Graduated from Harvest Preparatory in Columbus, Ohio.

Military Consideration: Considered joining the Marines and took the ASVAB test, but ultimately decided against it due to a conversation with your mother.

Career Focus: Attended college for a semester but prioritized making money over continuing school

What fear has held you back the most in your life?
when i was a kid i had a fear of caring about what people thought about me. i soon realized that we all have to find our own way and it really does not matter what anyone thinks.

Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What’s a belief or project you’re committed to, no matter how long it takes?
if you hate your job be great at it.

Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. What do you think people will most misunderstand about your legacy?
how much effort it takes. how consistent i have been over the years, all the years i was never making money
