What’s the secret to thriving in an industry that’s constantly evolving, often under fire, and endlessly competitive? Preston Stewart, the National Variable Operations Director (and Compliance Director!) for the iconic Napleton Auto Group, joins me to answer that question—and so much more.

Preston’s story is one for the books: from growing up in his family’s Kansas dealership to working under some of the most legendary names in auto retail, his journey is packed with insights on leadership, reinvention, and building a people-first culture. Along the way, he’s become a trailblazer in navigating the challenges of compliance and the rise of AI, while staying grounded in the retail experience.

In this episode, we dig into:

• Why compliance isn’t just about avoiding penalties but protecting your team, customers, and reputation.
• The cutting-edge tools (like MavSign) that make remote deals secure and seamless in today’s digital-first world.
• How AI is reshaping the future of automotive retail—and why it’s both a massive opportunity and a big risk.
• The core principle behind great organizations: caring deeply about your people and your customers.

Whether you're running a dealership, managing a team, or simply trying to future-proof your business, Preston’s wisdom is gold. His combination of real-world experience and forward-thinking vision will leave you inspired and better prepared for the road ahead.
