2:57 THE POLICE CHASE  9:13 THE FERRARI EFFECT / state of the car business 12:41 Ziegler Super Systems   16:50 sales skills are not necessary right now  23:51 "Every time we train a generation of factory people, they retire, we have to train another generation they all think they can run dealerships, they all think they're smarter than we are. And they all they all crawl back us on Bloody knees asking us to bail him out after they make mistakes." 20:47 salesman's Samsonite  32:20 introduced verde to NADA  21:47   in literally 1000s of dealerships -every state except Alaska...caught ups, done f&i, desked, interacted with customers  26:24 predictions      

3:11 chasing balloons around the desert. Was this a peyote thing?  7:50 Mars like terrain  10:02 Is the Earth really flat? 13:08 people thought I was a traitor, because I'd worked with the Soviets so nobody would hire me  15:39 the only thing I've really ever known for sure I wanted to do in life was race cars.    17:02 spying on American citizens  19:51 SpaceX and Elon Musk  29:44  What the fuck do you think that idiot savant is up to?  41:09 New space 49:53 Phantom space 55:02  "...45km is going to come back within five years... 800 km... you're talking about  100 year lifetime 56:50 reentering and crashing 58:10 Space tourism  1:00:38 I want to get into TransAm

0:00 Blue Origin.... that relates... to SpaceX 2:45 SpaceX had like 7000 satellites 6:00 Now, they want to launch closer to the earth. The reason you launch them higher, is not because of the performance, generally, the performance degrades, because the physics is such that the further we away from the Earth, that you know, the lower the signal, the less resolution your cameras have all that stuff.   7:00 titanium valves and things like really dense stuff sometimes make it to the surface, stainless steel tanks  7:12 when you get a satellite operator license through US government, if your commercial, they go through debris analysis of your of your satellite to make sure that stuff won't survive, you know, it's like circuit boards, and that there's this thing called the ballistic coefficient. So they just kind of float like paper, because they've got a very high ballistic coefficient, but, you know, rocks and chunks of metals tend to survive. 7:45 is it just gonna be raining this shit?  8:09 What about space tourism? Is it going to be like the Schwarzenegger movie?  Total Recall?

He's going to be an Army Ranger. 15:21 I won the first championship for Chrysler, which, which is great. And the next year, we won the mine. And just basically five years of domination that I wish everyone could experience, because it was just, it just couldn't have been better. 16:48 I don't think it was a nunnery. But the girls were not allowed to have visitors... 20:39 Could be the first time that this story... 23:16 How I never said fuck on TV 24:00 act British, think Yiddish. 43:37 We are recording life and history  

07:51 A helicopter for guys that will get flying a helicopter is got to be one of the most brain-sharpening exercises you can do. 08:37 auto rotation is this: fear is the number one enemy of success, lack of fear allows you to fly.

He wanted to say, what he knew to be true. And what he wanted to do. That was a that was a really important insight to me.] 14:04 OnStar was really quite an undertaking. 17:51 Issues at Kodak 21:40 the key element in improving the decision making process is to record the process. 23:00 assumption 24:49 a good decision takes into consideration what the expected outcome is, and then lists the assumptions that have to be made, to create that outcome, and then to measure as best you can, with the extent to which those assumptions are true. 26:38 Following World War ll, GMs factories are making you military equipment. And so therefore, after the war, since there were no new cars during the war, there was an incredible increase in demand for vehicles. 30:00 automotive companies have always had what's called decision friction between engineering push, and consumer pull 37:44 inputs that research provided for OnStar 38:39 Kodak: digital versus silver halide 41:24 Vince's latest book, A SYSTEMS THINKING DECISION MAKING PROCESS. ...key takeaways for automotive professionals making decisions? 43:15 Avoid Burnt Toast. 46:21 When the shuttle exploded...it was time to prepare the president's speech 52:57 GE was a very engineering push firm.

1:16 5 years before GM bought Saab, the Wallenberg family didn't make any money.We were hell bent on buying because we were GM.

And it had two cars 3:41 the income level of a Saab owner was higher than a Mercedes owner 4:55 I said, Jack (Smith), on a good day they could sell 100,000 globally 5:29 They put the report in the wastebasket 8:04 When you'll want something bad enough you jockey the numbers and it all works except it's gotta' work in the market

A whole system of luxury cars that needed to be downsized 14:21 The press will never know this- this is why it's deep secrets revealed. This would make the Edsel pale by comparison. 17:44 No longer the prestige of "I've got the longest car on the block"...what made Cadillac wouldn't matter today

It's like, where's the heartbeat of this thing? There's that visceral feeling. And when I see it, it's going to hit me in the gut. That's what it is. It's like you've got to have the experience to know that's where the story is. It's that you know, and that will make the thing go and people will tap into that. And that's what I'm good at. That's what I've learned how to do"

Jeff Sterns was a new general sales manager at a Cadillac and Land Rover dealership that needed a vibe boost. Enter Sean Marra, met through Michael Sterns....Jeff's brother. Sean was a creative guy at a local weekly newspaper. Charged with "make us relevant to the hip crowd", Sean came up with an ad campaign that included headlines like PLENTY OF LEG ROOM, PLENTY OF HEAD ROOM and LEATHER OPTIONAL using models that were local influencers in the hipster crowd. Finally after a weekly run, on week 12 the blond woman in the leather outfit (holding a whip) was replaced with a new unknown model.....and the ad would never be forgotten.
