We recently had the chance to connect with Billy Weigle and have shared our conversation below.
Billy , it’s always a pleasure to learn from you and your journey. Let’s start with a bit of a warmup: What is a normal day like for you right now?
I’m always on the go! I just got back in the country after visiting 9 different countries in Europe. As long as I have my phone, I’m all good—it has my contacts, how I work, and the prayers I do throughout the day.
When I’m home during the weekdays, I get up in the morning between 7–8 a.m., and the first thing I do is my morning prayer routine. I thank God and my guardian for giving me a new day and ask for guidance. Then I do a prayer consisting of 15 Our Fathers, Hail Marys, Holy Mary, and Glory Be. After a few more morning prayers and stretching, I’m ready to start my day with a 2-mile run, which I try to do 4–5 days a week.
I come home, take a shower, read my Bible, and get dressed for the day. I practice intermittent fasting, so I don’t eat breakfast until after 10 a.m., and sometimes my breakfast is my lunchtime. After eating, I head straight to my Mac or phone to answer texts, messages, DMs, inquiries about vehicles or other items I’m selling, or even business proposals. Then I check my social media. I like doing my morning prayer because it gives me time to reflect and ease my mind—once I’m up, I’m up, and I’m going to be glued to my phone.
I’m also doing my master’s online, taking two classes each term, so I keep my foot on the gas. At times, I feel like I need to relax, and when I do for a day or so, I realize I don’t like it—working keeps me going and occupied.
In the afternoons, I do the rosary with my mom and some evening prayers. I’m either doing things around the house, posting content, or traveling to meet with clients via Zoom or in person about selling or buying vehicles. I also make time for fitness in the evenings with 60 push-ups to stay strong and active.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to sound like a TV preacher. Religion is a big part of my life, and it has allowed me to clarify and see things from a bigger picture than just my wants and needs from this world.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hello!, my name is Billy Weigle, but most people know me as “Billy Bang,” a nickname I’ve had since middle school. I’m the face behind Billy Bang Cars, a branding and marketing venture that connects car enthusiasts and celebrities with their dream vehicles. Known as “The Car Finder,” I specialize in locating specific makes and models and collaborating with some of the top names in the automotive industry. While I’m not a traditional car dealer, my business revolves around building relationships, curating automotive experiences, and creating a strong, recognizable brand.
Over time, my work has reached a wide audience, with my multi-media pages accumulating close to 20 million views. But beyond the numbers and social media presence, I’m much more than a like or a post. Social media doesn’t define who I am or control my image. I stay true to myself and do what I feel called to do.
At the moment, I’m in a rebuilding stage, focusing on earning my master’s degree while substitute teaching at a community college and within my local school system. Billy Bang Cars has been an incredible business venture that’s opened many doors and kept me grounded along the way.
Looking ahead to 2026, I plan to expand my car content, share more of my story, and see what God has in store for me. I’m also working on a series of personal reflection videos that show a side of me people don’t always see online—what’s really happening behind the posts, and how faith and perseverance continue to guide my path. Sometimes I reflect on opportunities that didn’t work out, and I realize they were never meant to. Everything happens for a reason, and I trust that my journey is unfolding exactly how it’s supposed to.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. Who taught you the most about work?
Who taught me the most about work? The people in my life—my mom, my dad, my aunt in California, and others I’ve met along the way. My mom is one of the most determined people I know, and once she sets her mind on something, there’s no persuading her otherwise. Growing up on the East Coast, I experienced the East Coast grind, where much of the innovation and investment that has shaped our country happened. In contrast, people on the West Coast tend to be more laid back. My mom, being Filipino, reflects the hardworking spirit common among many Asians and Filipinos, who strive to give their children a better life and often give back to their home countries.
My dad is another example of relentless work ethic, and from him I learned the importance of hustle and ambition. Before he retired, he would often sleep just two or three hours a night, and sometimes not at all. After coming home from work, he or my mom would take me to extracurricular activities, handle yard work, and complete other tasks late into the evening or middle of the night. My aunt is a true entrepreneur. She franchises and sells Rainbow Vacuums and cleaning supplies across California, and these products are considered the Rolls Royce of cleaning supplies. She owns six stores across California and Nevada, hosts numerous events, and has even sold supplies to the Sacramento Kings, celebrity housekeepers, and large businesses.
I’ve also learned from many people I’ve met along the way, both in person and online, by observing their work ethic and incorporating their lessons into my own life. But the biggest takeaway is this: why procrastinate when something needs to be done? If you’re lazy, nothing gets accomplished, and in this life, tomorrow is not promised. You have to give your all today.
I come from West Virginia, where recognition isn’t always given, and even if you succeed, it doesn’t always make headlines or come with the networks found in larger states or cities. I have to do this for myself. At the end of the day, the lesson is clear: work hard, stay disciplined, and make every day count. I guess… I got that dog in me!
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
“Don’t listen to the people who try to dim your light. Keep going. There are over 8 billion people in this world, and someone out there will think your idea is amazing, maybe even exactly what they needed. Most of the time, people only have something to say because they could never stand where you’re standing or do what you’re doing, even if they pretend they could; they comment. After all, you’re making noise because you’re moving, because you’re becoming something. Pray as if it’s up to God and hustle as if it’s up to you, and remember Nipsey Hussle’s words that life is a marathon. TKWGO, they know what’s going on. You came this far, and I don’t see myself ever going back. Keep pushing; it’s going to take time, repetition, and motivation, but you’re built for it. Keep showing up, keep believing, and keep rising.”
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. How do you differentiate between fads and real foundational shifts?
People today get caught up chasing likes and followers on social media. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to grow bigger on social media too, but the difference is I’ve been doing this, and my résumé keeps growing every year. I stay consistent in what I know, but I also branch out by learning more, applying myself, and connecting with people who help me advance my skill set. You have to remember that a trend is only temporary. You can only be popping or hot for so long. What’s your next move? How are you going to become someone people still talk about years from now? You have to keep applying yourself and stepping into new opportunities so more people learn who you are and what you stand for. I’d rather be talked about for a long period of time than be something temporary. Don’t get caught up in social media or the sins of this world — just look around at how sinful and demonic things have become. Stay in your lane, seek guidance, and trust that your guardian angel from above will show you the way.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. Are you tap dancing to work? Have you been that level of excited at any point in your career? If so, please tell us about those days.
Even though I may not be tap dancing like I used to, these feet of mine are always on the go. That energy never left; it just evolved. I wake up in different hotels, different cities, and different time zones, and I’m still tapping in and grinding no matter what the day looks like. Every day is a good day because God didn’t blow my candle out, and as long as I’m here, I’m moving with purpose. I’ve been so locked in that even when I landed in France, got off the plane, and checked into my hotel, I was still making business deals. My clients were back in the US, and while it was 3 a.m. in France for me, they were calling on Eastern Time, and I was right there answering, closing deals, and handling business. People say I look sleepy, but that’s just how I look because I stay moving. I might take a quick power nap, but I’m right back up, tapping in, grinding, and staying ready for whatever door God opens next.
