Huizenga founded it
Shaan crowns Wayne Huizenga the Billy of the Week for an extraordinary career building Waste Management, Blockbuster, and AutoNation plus owning the Miami Dolphins and Florida Marlins.
“Yeah, this guy's definitely the Billy of the Week. Extremely impressive career. You know, shout out to this guy. He looks like he passed away a couple years ago at age 80.”
Sam celebrates Wayne Huizenga, who scaled Waste Management from a single garbage truck (started at 21) through roll-up acquisitions, then founded AutoNation and Blockbuster and owned NFL teams.
“This dude's name's Wayne Huizenga. He's dead now, but he originally started Waste Management as a young person, like 21. It was a truck, one truck that he like scaled to like many trucks. And then eventually Waste Management, the plot of that story is that it's the greatest acquisi— one of the greater acquisition companies of all time.”
