This last year+ has been a dream. I meet with business owners daily to look for financial solutions. We help them: 1. Optimize their cash flow 2. Create more profit 3. Pay less taxes But more than anything, we’re a strategic partner and coach. Someone they turn to when they don’t know the answer. When the times get tough. I’ve had more than one business owner tell me they’re sleeping better, more present when with family, and feel like they’re finally in control of their business (instead of it controlling them). I can’t imagine anything more rewarding. For people watching from the sidelines, it seems like an overnight success. But in reality, it came after a 15+ year career of day-in and day-out partnering with my CEOs as a full-time CFO. Now instead of building one business at a time, I get to help many at the same time! Today, I’m headed to meet with a group of other business owners to learn and grow together. I am truly living the dream!

@brettamtpa @MorganAutoGroup When new car sales are down, the answer for every dealer (word salad responses aside) is to raise the price on service, parts, used cars, and upsale worthless crap in the finance dept. Problem is, there's a limit to the above strategy. What happens when customers get tapped out?

Larry Morgan, Chairman of Morgan Auto Group, shares his journey from building a national tire empire to a multi-billion-dollar auto group.

Some dealers are building their leaders from entry-level roles to executive positions. Larry Morgan, Chairman of Morgan Auto Group, shares his dealership's successful team-building strategy. "Our Chief Operating Officer was a store manager in a store that we acquired, a general manager. And he went from that store to running two stores, to running eight stores." "Sometimes our success rate of making a good decision with people that are in-house is much, much, much better than hiring someone on the outside." "We can have the best brand on the best corner in town with a beautiful building and bad people. We're gonna have bad business." - Thank you to our partner CarNow! Check them out by visiting

"If a man is not inviting you to his home, he is not thinking about making you his home. ... Women just decide to go against it because they want that trip, they want that bag, they want that experience. We have to stop wanting experiences at the expense of our dignity, at the expense of our respect, at the expense of our self love. If a man is trying to fly you out the country or the state that he lives in to see you or date you, he has a wife or a woman. 100%. The first place you should be going, when you visit this man, is to his house." - Dr. Cheyenne Bryant

We lost our jobs. Over the last few weeks, we've felt a lot of emotions, from sad about missing our listeners and buds at the office, to excited about what the future might hold. We've also been REALLY busy building We've never built a website before, but if we're good at anything, it's figuring it out. We love what we do, and we hope we get the opportunity to do it again soon We want to thank our listeners in Vancouver, and those of you who tuned in all the way from Toronto for your support.

California dealers are gearing up for new transparency standards under the Combating Auto Retail Scams Act. Dennis Gingrich, Sales & Finance Director at The Niello Company, breaks down how the CARS Act is reshaping dealer communication and compliance. "We've gotta put all the numbers of the transaction in every single communication, was our interpretation, and that's gonna be a heavy lift." "You look at all these studies, what do customers want? Transparency. Just give it to 'em, you know? And build value, and stick to the basics, and we're all gonna be fine." "You can be a great salesperson, be transparent, be compliant, and make a really good living. So when you lay your head on the pillow at night, you feel good about what you do, right? And the better we do at that, the more repeat and referral business we can earn." Daily Dealer live hosted by Sam D'Arc and Ulisse de' Martino - Thank you to our partner AppraisalPRO!

Mike Van Ryn, Vice President of Talent Development at Zeigler Auto Group, explains how bringing in leaders from sports, business, and other fields is shaping dealership culture. " A lot of these speakers have gone through hard times, and we've had that in the automotive industry over the years.

Andy Green was asked about the Mets' outfield plan when Luis Robert Jr. comes back from the IL: "All of them are going to play. That's right for us from a matchup perspective, that's right from a talent level perspective. When it comes to the two kids that we feel strongly about, it's their first full professional season. Taking a day off a week as we get into kind of the dog days of July, August and September isn't going to hurt them. It will help them. We welcome really good baseball players back to the team and we'll be excited to get his bat in the lineup. He'll get some days off, as well."

After Oregon State beat USF in the WCC quarters tonight, Wayne Tinkle turned to multiple areas of the arena and celebrated. Here's the reason why: "The outpouring of support from the last ten days have been unbelievable... It was just a thank you to them for all the great things that they said and to let them know we're not done... There were a lot of emotions when I was by myself, but we had to make sure we made it about the team this week. It's all we've ever done... So why would I make it about me the individual all the sudden? That would be so hypocritical. We've got enough of that in our society."

Some operators are still letting “old school” methods bottleneck their appraisal process. Brian Kramer, EVP, Dealer Growth & Success at Cars Commerce, breaks down how shifting to automated appraisals frees leaders to train and drive more deals. "That one person dictates the tone, and the inconsistency, and the confusion for the sales team, and the BDC, and the internet team, and that's where it breaks down and the lack of buy-in occurs." "You gotta put them at ease that they're not getting replaced and that they can appraise a lot more cars." "If these guys are appraising 80% plus of their cars in an automated way, why can't you do that?" - Thank you to our partner HaigPartners! Check them out by visiting
