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!

"We Tripled the Store!" — Critical Playbooks for Used Cars, Service Growth and Beating Big Groups | Kyle Coleman, Rob Ruth, Scott Simons

Q: Kyle, what explains your store-count driven growth philosophy and how do you see it affecting profitability in three years?

The expansion is driven by impact and the belief that scaling allows us to positively influence the industry and the lives of the people working in and around the stores. It's about creating opportunities, building a durable culture, and leveraging world-class leadership to sustain growth while maintaining profitability and reinvesting in teams.

Q: What are you seeing as the biggest opportunity to shorten the ownership cycle with leasing?

Leasing, when paired with a strong used-car base and disciplined pricing, can shorten the ownership cycle while maintaining residual value and customer satisfaction, especially if dealers stay focused on customer-first experiences.

Cottone on Growing Used, Cox/Fullpath on Integration, Duncan on Retention | Daily Dealer Live

Q: What is the core tension you see between OEMs, retailers, and captives when communicating offers to customers?

The three voices—OEM, retailer, and captive finance—tend to cause mixed messages. A tight, coordinated strategy is needed to present clear, consistent offers that customers can understand, which boosts loyalty.
