September 23, 2025 Tackling Workforce Challenges and Building Culture with Enterprise VP Mary Mahoney
When most companies run into an industry-wide challenge, they say, “that’s someone else’s problem.” Enterprise Mobility chose a different path.
In this episode of PodCrash, Matt Ebert sits down with Mary Mahoney, Vice President at Enterprise Mobility, to talk about how one of the world’s largest private companies with $38 billion in revenue and 90,000 employees decided to tackle the massive shortage of collision repair technicians head on.
Mary shares her personal story of starting in a Florida branch in 1985, working her way through car washes and rental counters to eventually shaping Enterprise’s national strategy. She explains why culture and mentorship have been the backbone of the company’s growth, and how Enterprise’s Collision Engineering Program is rewriting the blueprint for workforce development.
The conversation dives into how to turn meetings into real problem-solving sessions, why young people actually do want to work if they see purpose, and how female and underrepresented talent are thriving when given the right environment. Mary also unpacks Enterprise’s “people first” philosophy: take care of your employees and customers, and growth takes care of itself.

He shares how he went from cold DMs and handwritten letters to building and selling companies for hundreds of millions of dollars.

July 15, 2025 The College Ripping Up the Rulebook to Stop Student Debt with Aaron Kuecker
Dr. Aaron Kuecker, president of Trinity Christian College, admits what most higher-ed leaders won’t: the system profits by saddling students with debt, and it’s broken. But instead of defending the system, he’s rebuilding it. Trinity has slashed tuition by 40%, eliminated Wednesday classes to prioritize paid work experience, and formed partnerships that mix trades, business, and liberal arts. In this episode, Matt talks with Aaron about rewriting the college model, why blue-collar pathways need more respect, why blue-collar pathways need more respect, how AI is reshaping education, and what it takes to build something better.
And before we go, Matt’s joined by Danny Briones with a tough question: how sure is he really that A.I. won’t impact trade jobs?
