In a recent interview with Trae Holiday, La’Keith Asphy, the owner of a thriving transportation business, Presidential Transportation, shared insights into his journey as an entrepreneur and community leader. Asphy’s story is one of growth, mentorship, and commitment to excellence in the transportation industry.

Starting from humble beginnings, La’Keith has expanded his fleet to include five luxury coaches, a significant milestone in his business journey. He proudly states, "We got five of those now, so like, five of the big busses". These luxury coaches have elevated his business to a new level, allowing him to cater to high-end clients and specialized events.

One of the key focuses of La’Keith business is the Alaska cruise market. Based in Seattle, his company plays a crucial role in transporting the hundreds of thousands of tourists who flock to the city annually for Alaskan cruises. "It's a very popular cruise. So, I need to go on it myself. I've never heard anyone say wasn't a good experience," Asphy expressed.

Beyond business success, he is passionate about mentorship and supporting aspiring entrepreneurs in the transportation industry. He emphasizes, "I'm constantly mentoring new people into the business”. His approach to mentorship is hands-on and generous, providing resources and guidance to those looking to enter the field.

Asphy’s influence extends beyond local boundaries. He has established national affiliations, working with high-profile clients across the country. "We do a lot of work nationwide, we work with E-40 and having his transportation and movements and some of his dates," he explained. In addition, his company's membership in the National Limousine Association and the Northwest Motor Coach Association further solidifies its national presence.

This success story serves as an inspiration to aspiring entrepreneurs, particularly in the Black business community, demonstrating the power of perseverance, mentorship, and community engagement in building a successful enterprise.
