0:23 my HR moral compass was kind of a little gray

0:53 when you want to pick a star performer, you are looking for a specific personality type. Needs to be an extrovert, needs to be a charmer, needs to also have personal agenda, almost like a little bit sociopathic. They're probably horrific at paperwork

2:04 if you're going to go by a personality profile test, you need to go with someone that has a high risk of getting in a little bit of trouble once in a while only. You could go the safe way, but they just wouldn't produce

3:37 Next thing he decided to like, just take a shirt off and send a picture of the shirt.

5:53 I bought my first car, I did my whole process, bought my car, everything was fine. And oh, my gosh, three days after my salesperson would not stop calling me calling, calling calling

6:38 I got a lot of my prospects...somebody that somebody that bought a car, but you know, we're always walking the line of, if it doesn't work out, I don't want to get a bad survey!

7:13 sexual harassment would never be reported, but only rated.

Yes, she's a woman but unlike Kamala, that wasn't the only criteria to selected!! 

Marcia owns Lighhouse HR group (outsource HR) focusing on HR consulting, recruiting and payroll so to say the least, she's seen it all. Marcia is uniquely qualified to tell some HR stories that seem to be concentrated in the car business. Ever wonder what really goes on?!?

3:27 Jeff: the first thing I've ever done at a new job is go to my HR person to let them know that I do have Tourette's.

5:12 Marcia: "... my HR moral compass kind of like got a little, you know, a little instead of black and white it went kind of a little gray...in the car business"

6:57 if you're going to go by a personality profile test, you need to go with someone that has a high risk of getting in a little bit of trouble once in a while...or they won't produce

7:12 this otherwise sharp GSM started texting with a client. Shirt came off...

9:33 You have to just settle just to make it go away.

11:42 (dating dealership customers) if it doesn't work out, I don't want to get a bad survey.

12:55 The HR director sexually harassing the staff

14:30 he was sending very inappropriate emails, pictures using company email

17:41 there is a double standard for sure. 21:48 she went Fatal Attraction on this guy.

23:58 five jobs sexual harassment claim sin a row.

24:22 Job references are pretty weak indicators .

25:46 perspective employees only needed to report interviewing so that they could get the unemployment that they didn't want the job.

27:12 fake job reference ....in the middle of a drug trial

30:19 hired an employee that is now on death row

0:10 he was good looking, and he knew it. 0:27 started texting with a client. 1:10 by the time you cross the line is too late. 2:29 the dealership actually fired him. 3:26 When I first got to Florida,...salesperson would not stop calling me calling, calling calling 4:24 if it doesn't work out, I don't want to get a bad survey.

So like what Top Golf does for golf, I do for with driving. 3:33 we have auto manufacturer fleet partners 11:28 the Detroit Auto Show, historically, in the last 10 years, the manufacturer spent over $200 million 12:35 we have in-car cameras, telemetry devices, we have things that we facilitate, it's created by the customer experience the vehicle. 13:56 private garages, car condominiums. 14:52 300 garages, a 1.6 mile performance track, 80 acre off road track, a two acre skid pad and a 30 5000 square foot corporate event space. 15:39 sold 170 units in four months in Tampa. 16:17 garage entry price is $215,000. 18:47 24' foot ceiling so they could put a mezzanine and a triple car lift 20:07 it's all about community and camaraderie. it's all about social activation and being around people with similar passion. 20:35 not selling storage.

1:51 many people told Brad that he was crazy. He ended up buying a former General Motors factory out of the bankruptcy in 2012. 3:46 No racing 5:28 what Top Golf does for golf, Brad does for driving. 5:45 Butts in seats is better than an auto show for factories.

16:01 300 private garages. Some call them car condominiums. A version of the auto country club, less racing focus, more community focus. Garages, a 1.6 mile performance track and 80 acre off road track a two acre skid pad, and a 35,000 square foot corporate event space. 17:43 garage entry price is $215,000. 24' ceiling allows mezzanine and up to 3 level car lift 23:38 Strategically located near Tampa Exec Airport. 24:34 Some of our greatest events are not driving events. They're actually wine tastings and dinners and I take 20 couples to drive through Italy every year. We do charity events. There's an Italian night and there's a food truck rally and there's a charity thing and it's just, you know, but the common denominator is generally cars. 30:31 The wealthy are careful with their money. 30:53 A Bentley client talks Jeff into taking a premium over MSRP on a car. 35:18 They're nicer than most people's houses, honestly. They have bathrooms and kitchens and bars and wine cellars and and armories and cars on lifts and workshops. 35:46 right after the GM bankruptcy, there was a federal trust created to take 88 properties 36:20 competing against real real estate developers 36:29 there's no better way to revitalize a historic automotive property into a modern automotive destination. 37:49 M1 Concourse in Pontiac spurred $1 billion of new development on the same street we're on it's called south south Boulevard... our cars and coffee there, we get 1300-1400 hour cars on a Saturday morning. And I was looking at some of the photos at em one concourse, and I can't really tell unless I didn't go deep enough. But did you remove the original plant? Or did you use the bones and build in it? Or what are the fact 38:19 we spent five months crushing concrete. 38:50 did you find Jimmy Hoffa? 41:03 all this with a 4 person staff 42:15 Selling happiness 45:01 The Totem Pole and Ted's on Woodward Av 47:16 Track use calendar 48:51 The mid 80s Supra and that roof panel... 51:00 Mickey Shore's 53:29 Best story on Jeff's show yet? 54:09 Jeff pretending not to be blind
