Deric Tikotsky didn’t have much growing up and found himself alone in the US with no money and nowhere to go after growing up in France. Finding a 9-5 job was a survival move for Deric while he launched a computer repair business in NJ with a marketing strategy that you won’t believe. After launching several computer repair stores and business models, Deric experienced a business acquisition at a fairly young age. He followed his passion for exotic cars by starting a successful exotic car rental agency in Palm Beach, FL from his garage and ended up selling it to start producing exotic car parts in his latest venture while taking it easy. His diverse background and entertaining character makes him a great person to learn from.
What is an Entrepreneur?
I’ve been an entrepreneur since before it was cool – long before Mark Zuckerberg and a generation of seemingly instant billionaires hijacked the term and forever sexualized a pursuit most entrepreneurs know to be anything but sexy. I grew up in a family of entrepreneurs, where Sundays were spent preparing for the work week to come, not on football and…
Reader Rides – Stephen’s Turbo NSX
Although we don’t feature many imports on Secret, we do have a soft spot for them as we’ve all grown up around that scene and have even owned some in the past. The 90’s was arguably the greatest generation for Japanese sports cars which gave birth to a ‘supercar’ from literally every make. Toyota made the Supra, Nissan had the GTR, Mitsubishi had the GTO, Mazda had the RX7, and Honda had the NSX. Although the NSX was slightly underpowered, it made up with superb balance and handling that rivaled many Italian exotics. When Stephen sent us photos of his astonishingly clean NSX, we knew we had to showcase it.

Secret Academy Episode – Louis Spagnuolo

Believe it or not, he was actually a bouncer and even got beat up by Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) during his college days. Since then, Louis learned early on how to look for opportunities where others did not. From his early outsourcing of cell phone batteries to his web properties and lead generation software, he shares the wild ups and downs and the mistakes he recovered from that enabled him to become a real entrepreneur and launch 2 different 8 figure businesses. His story is bound to inspire you!
10 Lessons After 8 Years of Internet Marketing
These days, it seems just about everyone from Gen Y has a website they call their own. Most exist as personal journals, others more for documenting hobbies, and others solely use their website for business. You could call Secret Entourage a website, others might call it a publication, but ultimately it still is a business at the end of…
Reader Rides – Rohan’s Twin Turbo Gallardo
Welcome to a new segment we like to call ‘Reader Rides’ where we take a moment to feature some of the cars our readers proudly own. There no better way to kick this off by featuring one of the nicest Lamborghini Gallardo’s. What once started as a basic Gallardo in the highly desirable Verde Ithaca paint scheme, has become a work of art that includes a Heffner Twin Turbo 1200HP kit and Renown LP570 front bumper with matching Superleggera decklid, spoiler, and rear diffuser. All this is finished off with a set of HRE 843R wheels and Toyo R888 tires. One of the more recent finishing touches is two-toning the car with a black roof and pillars for the much needed contrast.
