Looking over his newest event, he stares in awe at his work: $3 million to 5 million dollars worth of luxury cars set up at Slydes Car Wash. He oversees groups of people admiring the expensive vehicles where he and others begin handing out water bottles and Hot Wheels cars to attendees. 

Senior Josh Chon built his company, “Jcyohan,” from the ground up with some help from the Incubator class. The business is focused on organizing exotic car shows. For this event, he chose to help people similar to him, donating to Achievement Balance: Autism Therapy for Children.

“I have a strand of autism, and I volunteer at this organization already,” Chon said. “ So, I figured I’d donate it and create a fundraiser. Their cause is fairly good and it resonates with me.”

Chon’s objective for the events is to foster a happy and friendly environment anyone can attend. 

“The atmosphere is good, you enjoy it, you enjoy talking with people, watching cars and meeting new friends,” Chon’s girlfriend senior Melody Sanchez said. “The good part about those events and [him] getting money from them is he’s helping people who need it, and he’s enjoying it because it’s what he likes.”

Running the business himself, Chon oversees the financial and networking matters, acquiring valuable knowledge and experience along the way. He has amassed an Instagram following of more than 2000 followers, including a network of car owners that he’s made exceptional connections with.

“He is doing exactly what he loves,” Incubator sponsor Nicole Franczvai said. “He is financing and working on the numbers. He’s working on advertising, it’s the real world and he’s interacting with it. That’s what he needs.”

For this event Chon had the challenge of finding a venue to host the event at. He was able persevere and in the end he was able to create another event for his following.

“It helped me keep closer ties with some of the guys who attend my events,” Chon said. “A lot of people liked the location and the overall atmosphere for the event was pretty good. So we’re looking to host another event in the coming months. It was good for my community.”
