In this session from the Canada's Used Car Week Live Stage, sponsored by SYCN Auto Logistics, Pam founder Abdullah Baig, Zen AI CEO Olivier Vincent and BlinkAI Automotive CEO Dave Perry join Auto Remarketing senior editor Joe Overby for a conversation about the role of artificial intelligence in the auto industry, busting myths around AI, how the use cases of AI could expand, plus much more.

In no particular order, Jeremiah Wheeler is an auto industry executive. He's a Used Car Week Hall of Famer. He holds an MBA from SMU. He's a husband. A dad.

And this week, he became a published author. Wheeler, who is president at DRN, MVTRAC and SCM, talked with Auto Remarketing senior editor Joe Overby about his debut book, "The Unlikely Executive: From Dope and Despair to Leadership and Legacy."

Wheeler shares his business-school inspiration for the book and discusses his journey through addiction, recovery, sobriety and redemption, weaving in business and personal life lessons along the way. He delves into finding one's identity, the writing and publishing process, plus much more.

In another episode of the Auto Remarketing Podcast originating from Canada’s Used Car Week 2025 in Toronto, Cherokee Media Group associate editor Andrew Friedlander is joined by a man who thinks outside the box — Chris Schnellenberger, founder and CEO of Purr, whose unique business model offers a retail consignment platform for repossessed vehicles.

The Alberta-based entrepreneur talks about how the model works, how the business started, where it’s headed and why Purr is gaining a following among both dealers and lenders.

Matt Hagan can paint quite a picture — and not just as regional sales manager for ACV Capital.

In this episode of the Auto Remarketing Podcast, Hagan shared his journey to becoming a performance artist and working with the National Independent Automobile Dealers Association and other organizations to raise thousands of dollars for charity with his paintings.

Since the beginning of this year, all sorts of experts have been talking about tariffs, analyzing the market and predicting what will happen as the auto tariffs take effect. But what about the REAL experts — the dealers who are out there selling cars and working with customers through all of this?

During Canada’s Used Car Week 2025 in Toronto, Cherokee Media Group associate editor Andrew Friedlander brought three Canadian dealers — Windsor Chrysler general manager Ken Tape, BCS Auto Sales president and GM Lionel Wardrop and Gray Auto Group founder and CEO Jen Gray — together on the Auto Remarketing Podcast to discuss the uncharted waters auto retailers find themselves swimming in right now.

A session at Canada’s Used Car Week featured a mix of automaker and dealership executives, who examined Canada’s certified pre-owned vehicle market, how CPO sales are faring, OEM-dealer partnerships, challenges and opportunities in CPO, vehicle supply dynamics and more.

One of the highlights of Canada’s Used Car Week was a stage full of top executives from the wholesale market.

Cherokee Media Group’s Joe Overby led a conversation with these executives, who discussed macroeconomic, technological and market factors impacting their operations, along with the success strategies they’ve adopted to thrive in this changing landscape.

Agora Data’s Steve Burke is one of the most upbeat executives you can find in auto finance.

When asked about his outlook for the car business during a conversation at the National Independent Automobile Dealers Association's annual convention last week in Las Vegas, Burke didn’t hesitate to say 2026 could be one of the best years ever.

Find out why during this episode of the Auto Remarketing Podcast.

The newest member of the team at the National Independent Automobile Dealers Association spent a few minutes during this week’s NIADA Convention in Las Vegas for this episode of the Auto Remarketing Podcast.

Patrick O’Brien, who joined NIADA in May as director of government relations and compliance, shared more details about his background with the U.S. Treasury and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, as well as how he hopes to represent independent dealers in Washington, D.C.

How an independent dealer approaches inventory strategy might be different than a franchised store.

Patrick Janes, associate vice president of inventory solutions management at Cox Automotive, delved into the current inventory landscape during this week’s NIADA Convention in Las Vegas for this episode of the Auto Remarketing Podcast.
