  • Industry Slop

    Started off interesting, back when Musk would occasionally reply to some of his posts and his page actually got engagement on X.

    How to burn your “brand?” Hire two incredibly off-putting hosts, one of whom rarely speaks (from within the industry, of course), transition to a newsletter that seems more like an ad platform than actual news, and host interviews that are really just sales pitches.

    Started out as a cool podcast. It’s just turned into the person being interviewed bragging about themselves.

  • Time well spent

    I recently started listening to the show and now look forward to listening daily. The only downfall to listening during my commute is the inability to take notes. I started listening a second time to jot down notes and how I want to apply some of the things shared on the show. Thanks for a great product, keep up the great work CDG team!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"That's Flushed Money!" What ChatGPT Really Looks for Before Recommending a Dealer (+ How to Fix It) | Zach Billings, CEO at Wikimotive
Q: What is the core driver of AI visibility for dealerships according to Zach?
Consistent, high-quality content that provides value to the end user, paired with a strong reputation across review platforms; these elements align with the dealer's dossier and business objectives to drive real outcomes, not just rankings.
The 65-Year Dealership Empire Born Out of the Wild West of NY Auctions & The Hard Lessons Learned | Laddie Stern of Stern Auto Group
Q: How did you transition from Jerome Avenue to building a larger auto auction and dealership network?
The transition came from recognizing where the money was and expanding where the market allowed, starting with strategic real estate moves and then scaling up the auction business, which funded and enabled the growth of new car stores as the family leadership evolved.
From $30K Cash Backpacks to a $400 Million Wholesaling Empire (+ How He Built a Better Auction) | Anthony Clavenna, CEO of gateway Car Connection
Q: How do you price your cars and keep market pricing efficient without traditional auctions?
We price based on what we paid and keep it simple: if it's going to be below MMR but offers speed and no fees, we push it out quickly. The key is to avoid auction volatility—we let buyers on the app grab what's available at a price that makes sense for both sides, and we keep a close eye on margins by eliminating transport and listing fees.
Wyler on Sponsorship, Hudson on "No Sell Nell", L'Ecuyer on AI | Daily Dealer Live
Q: What is the agentic dealer network and how does it work?
Chris and team explain that ADN is a directory-style network enabling agents to find dealers, request quotes, and potentially transact, with the goal of creating a reliable, trusted data layer and cross-network data flow.
Wyler on Sponsorship, Hudson on "No Sell Nell", L'Ecuyer on AI | Daily Dealer Live
Q: What does the Labor Day focus reveal about the industry's trajectory with AI and staffing?
The guest panel discusses how AI can automate routine processes, what roles may evolve or disappear, and where humans add distinct value, especially in customer experience and high-touch interactions.
