Hey, it’s just you and me today—and I want to have a real conversation. One that peels back the headlines, the hype, and the AI buzzwords to get to the core of what’s actually happening in our industry… and what isn’t.

If you’ve looked around lately and thought, “Everything feels different,” you’re not alone. From geopolitical headlines to AI hype, to the whirlwind of new tech and ever-climbing expectations—it's a lot. But here’s the question I’m asking in this episode: Has the world really changed… or are we just seeing the same challenges dressed in new tech and tighter timelines?

In this episode, we also talk about:

• Why most dealers still crave partners—not vendors
• The Jenga tower we call our tech stacks
• Why “used cars” are no longer the “other” department
• The real shift happening in dealership culture right now
• How AI is both exciting... and misleading
• And the truth about what still drives success.

This isn’t just a state-of-the-industry rant. It’s a strategy reset.

Because if your tech stack is fragile, your culture is thin, and your marketing is coasting on yesterday’s tactics… no amount of hustle will save you. But if you’re willing to take an honest look under the hood—with the right questions, the right tools, and the right people—everything can change.

Let’s talk about what still really drives success—and why now is the time to double down on it.

And hey, if you feel stuck or want help breaking through the noise, you’re one DM away. Let’s talk.
