This is Mike Ramos from Your Car Dealer Bond.
I hate to talk politics for several reasons:
1) I'm not sure if anyone cares about my view on something I'm admittedly not that well-versed in.
2) I have always been taught to avoid the political conversation in my 20+ years in Corporate America.
3) I'm terrified to lose half of my customers and listeners we have built so hard to compile.
4) I actually despise politics for the most part.
So why would I actually put any political content out that has nothing to do with California Used Car Dealers? Great question and I'm glad it crossed your brain because it shows that you are paying attention. I only did it because I really do think that I'm not the only one that has never voted or does not vote anymore.
I also think that other people just like me are just trying to scratch out a living and raise their families. And just like me, these same people weren't raised around politics and this landscape is a bit foreign to us. I also strongly believe that others just like me are sick and flipping tired of no one being able to give a straight answer about anything that flies in the face of their side's politics.

President Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton could learn a thing or 2 about how the regular people of America think about politics by listening to episode 11 of the Your Car Dealer Podcast. And although we are probably best known to our audience for being the only podcast dedicated to the success of the used car dealer industry, we are also dedicated to the small business owners that make the United States go around.
Right around the 9:30 mark, I share a hilarious story about the last time I headed off to the voting polls to cast my vote. Email me at [email protected] if you have ever heard a more outrageous story about someone going to go pull the lever on either the Democrat or Republican side of the aisle.
At about the 13:59 minute mark I start talking about my assessment of the information that I've routinely seen from Don Lemon at CNN or Sean Hannity. I even mention Ana Navarro, Sonny Hostin, Joy Behar, and Whoopi from The View.
My perspective is that they are all tainted, just depends on by who. It's tough to understand the info when they are ones telling the story because they are too predisposed to a certain angle.
At the 23:55 mark, I discuss my insurance background and the process of an insurance filing getting submitted to the Department of Insurance (DOI). Here's I'm comparing this completely transparent process to the corrupt and murky world of being a political talking head. I apologize for the 6-minute sidebar about the insurance world.
Kudos to the California Department of Insurance for creating this transparency and the California Insurance Guarantee Association (CIGA). I can't stand the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or many other state-run offices, but the DOI is actually quite impressive.
Somewhere in the neck of the woods of the 29.55-minute mark I start to discuss my thoughts on Serena Williams recent outburst. #HFE. As a previous wrestler, wrestling coach, football player, and football coach, I understand rules and emotion. I also have seen champions at the kid level, high school level, college level, and Olympic level and none of them act the way Serena Williams acted.
I have always respected William's skills and what she had to go through to become a champion and the best that ever lived in her sport, especially given that she grew up in a tough area. That said, this outburst was not champion-like and not something you want your kids trying to emulate. It also doesn't define Serena Williams and a few over-reactions in any career should be expected from the highest level athletes, and not tarnish their reputation in the process.
Special thanks to Google for making it possible to do research in order to put this type of content out into the world. I also thank them for creating such a great search engine that makes it possible for people around the country to find the Your Car Dealer Podcast. Who would have ever thought a kid without a formal education could create a podcast from scratch.
Thanks for tuning into another week of the Your Car Dealer Podcast. Normal content about the used car dealer industry to resume on the next episode. Just mixing it up a bit here. If you like the content, would like to give me some show ideas in exchange for a shot out on the show, email me at [email protected] TODAY!
