Evolution of sales person to product expert

Thinking about a career in the car business

Realistic progression: Dealers then, customers now

Sacrificial lamb: Kelly’s car buying experience

Today’s guest was literally raised in the car business. He started working in the business with his father at a very young age. Later, he joined the Marine Corp. and was taught the leadership skills needed to succeed in the automotive industry.

Rather than going into detail about my guest, it would be best to hear from his recommendations:

Kurt Jensen, Chairman at Soldier’s Angels, says “Mike is one of those rare people that does this crazy thing called ‘tell the truth’ and lets the chips fall where they may.” Steve Atanasovski writes, “I saw Mike develop into one of the best directors in the company and take a team that was struggling to perform prior to his arrival, to one of the top districts in the company.” Rasheedah Page touts that “he has an all-inclusive approach to leadership that his team members really respect and respond to.” And Cathy Bush, who was Mike’s teacher when he pursued his MBA at Northwood University, raves about him and says, “Mike’s emotional intelligence enabled him to effectively challenge others and himself in exploring a number of business topics. His ability to self-assess and seek feedback helped him to grow as a leader.”

Having received his Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from Northwood University, he currently  serves as the Executive Vice President of Max Digital. Here to share his experiences and best practices on leadership, men, women, and children, please welcome to the show, Mr. Mike Cavanaugh.

Life in Los Angeles after congestion pricing

Design the car to fit the environment

Colorado’s connected car economy

Wisco Weekly Team

When toll roads are properly managed and operated, they provide congested-less roads, maintain fiscal responsibility, and produce happy customers. The Toll Roads, which are governed by the Transportation Corridor Agencies, manage and operate state route 73, 133, 241, and 261 in Orange County, California. It has been a “bumpy road” to get to their current state of fiscal responsibility, and if you’ve traveled these roads, then you know they are doing something right.

In episode #64, the Chief Tolling Operations Officer, Samuel Johnson, shares insight into the different models of congestion pricing, the thought process behind tolling, and other related topics that allow him to manage the most important business operation, his family.

Los Angeles County will inevitably enact some form of congestion pricing as a way to alleviate traffic, and raise funds for infrastructure. Is the LA transportation eco-system able to handle the advances and backlash of implementing this new business model?

In episode #63, Dennis and Rudy imagine what life is like after congestion pricing is implemented by reverse engineering the existing modes of transportation and the facts of today. Included in this episode are an article from Laura Nelson, the Inrix Traffic survey, and a AAA Your Annual Driving study that all lend sage words for and against congestion pricing. Additionally, Dennis and Rudy draw from their own personal experiences of the different modes of transportation in Los Angeles.
