Ep 28 – Brodie Williams from Clean My Car
Brodie Williams is the owner of Clean My Car, a Christchurch‑based vehicle grooming and detailing business known for reliable service and strong customer relationships. A proud gay business owner living with ADHD, Brodie brings energy, focus and authenticity to his work, drawing on his lived experience of discrimination and resilience to create a business that values fairness and opportunity. After initially planning a different business idea, Brodie purchased Clean My Car when the opportunity arose and has since grown it through hard work, adaptability and smart use of tools like Google Ads.
In this episode, host Julie Woods talks with Brodie about running a busy car‑cleaning business, navigating fluctuating contracts, and using ADHD as a strength in a fast‑paced industry. Brodie shares insights into hiring for attitude, managing workload, adapting to economic pressures and building a business grounded in inclusivity and determination. He also reflects on the support of the Disability Business Network and the importance of family, community and courage in self‑employment.
