How to Build a Billion-Dollar Business the Holman Way: The Lesson Every Dealer Needs to Hear with Bill Cariss


Listen Later

What if the secret to building a $9-billion company wasn’t strategy or capital—but character?

In this episode, I sit down with Bill Cariss, President and CEO of Holman Growth Ventures, to explore how one of the most respected names in automotive quietly reinvented itself for the future, without losing the soul that built it.

We talk about the kind of leadership you can’t fake… the moves that kept Holman relevant when others stalled… and a few behind-the-scenes moments that will make you rethink what real success looks like.

There’s a story in here about a decision Bill made early in his career that changed everything.

Another about how Holman pulled off one of the smoothest acquisitions the industry’s ever seen.

And one that might just make you question how you measure legacy in your own life.

If you think you know what drives innovation in automotive, you’ll want to hear this one all the way through.

🎧 Tap play and find out why some leaders never have to chase relevance—it finds them.
