Shoot us a Text.Episode #1193: Today, we're covering a spike in EV inventory, why dealerships are losing service customers, and how Gen Z's complex spending habits could reshape the retail landscape.Show Notes with links:A new Cox Automotive study warns that dealerships are quietly losing the long game in fixed ops. Despite the average age of a vehicle being 12.8 years, customer loyalty—especially among recent buyers—is slipping fast.Dealerships now see 12% fewer service visits than in 2018, despite rising service volume overall.Loyalty is weakening: just 54% of owners with cars under 2 years old return to the selling dealer, down sharply from 72% in 2023.Independent shops, quick lube chains, and mobile services are capturing business once assumed to be “locked in.”Primary reasons for defections include surprise costs and poor communication—despite dealership pricing being slightly lower than independents on average.“There is a clear call to action here for dealerships to proactively address customer dissatisfaction, strengthen communication and improve sales to service coordination to build back market share through lasting relationships.” said Skyler Chadwick, Director of Product Consulting at Cox Automotive.New-vehicle inventory in the U.S. surged past 3.1 million units in early November, with electric vehicles stacking up the fastest.Total inventory rose from 2.8M to 3.14M units, with days' supply climbing to 70.EV supply more than doubled in October to 107 days, up from 47 just a month earlier.Gas-powered vehicles sit at 72 days; hybrids at a leaner 57 days. Cars remain tight at 46 days while light trucks sit at 60 daysToyota leads the pack with the tightest supply at just 33 days, while several Stellantis brands now exceed 100 days' supply.Subaru was the only automaker among monthly reporters to see inventory shrink.Retailers are racing to understand Gen Z—set to command $12 trillion in spending power by 2030. A new PwC report shows this generation mixes frugality with emotional spending and values-driven decisions.Gen Z plans to cut holiday spending by 23%, averaging $1,357—far less than millennials at $2,190.82% plan to buy “dupes”—affordable versions of luxury goods—and 79% wait for sales.While cautious, they'll splurge on “affordable affluence”: resale sneakers, luxury skincare, and $7 matcha lattes.Loyalty is fleeting: 81% have changed buying decisions based on a brand's reputation.Quote: “For most Gen Z'ers, customer loyalty has to be earned, and even then it is fragile,” said Greg Petro, Forbes contributor.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Episode 400 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Rylan Hamilton, CEO & Co-Founder of Blue Water Autonomy. Episode 400! It's another milestone episode. On November 2, 2017, I published the first episode of The VentureFizz Podcast. My first 11 episodes were an experiment where I interviewed talent acquisition leaders. Christina Luconi was my first guest. Thank you Christina! After seeing the potential, I pivoted to interviewing mainly founders & investors in Boston and NYC. I want to send out shout-out to all the people who have taken the time to share their stories with me and the VentureFizz audience. It has been a pleasure to interview all of you. For Episode 400, I wanted to interview someone who not only has had extraordinary background but someone who is also still building. Interviewing Rylan for this milestone episode was a no-brainer. Rylan's professional career has been one of exploration and not just one linear path. From graduating from Harvard to enlisting in the Navy as an Engineering Officer for surface warfair, to Harvard Business School, to being the first employee at RunMyErrand which later became TaskRabbit, to learning warehouse robotics at Kiva Systems which ended up being the 2nd largest acquisition by Amazon at the time, to starting his own warehouse robotics company called 6 River Systems which was acquired by Shopify for $450M… to now… working on his latest startup, which no doubt is his biggest swing which is Blue Water Automony… a startup building autonomous ships for the open ocean. The company recently announced a $50M Series A round of funding led GV. This is shortly after announcing a $14M seed round of funding earlier this year back in April. In this interview, we cover how Rylan's service in the armed forces helped shape his career, his full background story, plus all the chapters along the way, to all the details about Blue Water Authonomy and how this company is disrupting and re-energizing the ship industry in the United States, and so much more. Episode Sponsor: As a longtime champion of the local startup ecosystem, Silicon Valley Bank supports innovative companies with the solutions and financing they need through every stage of growth.

In this KE Report Company Update, Jon Deluce, President and CEO of Abitibi Metals (CSE:AMQ - OTC:AMQFF - Frankfurt:4KG), provides an update on the B26 Copper-Gold Deposit in Quebec's Abitibi region, where the company is delivering some of its strongest results to date. Key Highlights: High-Grade Drill Results: Latest intercept of 4.46% CuEq over 21.1m (up to ~6% CuEq with gold and silver credits) has driven the expansion of the Phase 3 program to 20,000m with three active rigs. Resource Growth: The 2024 resource stands at 18Mt averaging ~2% CuEq, with modeling showing potential to rise to ~2.7% CuEq at higher metal prices. Expansion Focus: About 80% of drilling targets extensions beyond the resource, including 500m step-outs, aiming to outline a 30+Mt deposit comparable to the historic Selbaie Mine nearby. Funding & Strategy: Fully funded through Q1 2027 with $14M in cash; advancing toward 80% ownership of B26 via a PEA and final equity top-up with SOQUEM (Investissement Québec). Regional Upside/Exploration: 100%-owned Beschefer Gold Project, 7 km away, features strong historical results (best result of roughly 56g/t over 5.5 meters) with drill permits expected soon. Next Steps: Continued drill results, a potential strategic investment, and updates on expansion plans into 2026. If you have any follow up questions for Jon please email me at Fleck@kereport.com.

October 6, 2025 | Season 7 | Episode 37A government shutdown should spook investors, yet stocks are climbing, futures are green, and deal flow is perking up. We unpack why markets often rally through shutdowns, where this one could truly bite if furloughs turn into layoffs, and what a data blackout does to sentiment and positioning. From there, we zoom out to structural shifts: Thomas Peterffy's argument that 9:30–4:00 is a relic in a global, algorithmic market, why 24/7 trading for liquid mega-caps feels inevitable, and how stablecoins grease real-world payments while broader crypto still fights for purpose.Taxes take center stage as we translate the “big beautiful bill” into practical moves. Corporate rates anchored at 21% change capital allocation math, pass-through deductions remain powerful for qualifying owners, and estate and gift exemptions near $14M per individual materially alter lifetime and legacy planning. We dive into the enduring step-up in basis, refreshed SALT relief under income thresholds, and AMT tweaks—then outline concrete year-end ideas: maximizing qualified plan contributions, tax-loss harvesting to offset gains, and smart charitable giving with appreciated assets.Momentum stories are back too. A regional-bank merger hints at a broader M&A thaw, AMD's developing partnership with OpenAI adds new energy to the GPU race, and healthcare pops on a less-punitive-than-feared drug pricing path. Abroad, Japan's dovish surprise sinks the yen while France's political shock widens spreads—together reinforcing a “debasement trade” mindset where investors favor stores of value: quality equities with pricing power, hard assets, and, for some, gold or Bitcoin. We close with an under-the-radar income idea: cold storage REITs trading at discounts to replacement cost, investing in automation, and paying you to wait for catalysts.If you find this useful, follow the show, share it with a friend who cares about markets and taxes, and leave a quick review—what topic should we tackle next?** For informational and educational purposes only, not intended as investment advice.

In this company update, I welcome back Blaine Monaghan, President & CEO of Pacific Ridge Exploration (TSX.V:PEX - OTCQB:PEXZF). The company is advancing its 100%-owned copper-gold projects in British Columbia's Toodoggone District, with a focus on the Kliyul and RDP Projects. Key discussion points: Kliyul Copper-Gold Project: Maiden resource (Aug 2025): 334M tonnes grading 0.33% CuEq, or 2.42B lbs CuEq (includes 1.1B lbs copper, 2.7M oz gold, 10M oz silver). Resource remains open in multiple directions. RDP Project: 2022 Antofagasta drill hole returned 107m of 1.39% CuEq, one of BC's best intervals that year. Pacific Ridge has now completed 5 additional holes (~2,100m), with results expected in the coming weeks. Valuation vs. peers: Pacific Ridge trades at ~$14M market cap. Baline makes the comparison to peers such as Vizsla Copper, Kodiak Copper, and NorthWest Copper who all are at higher valuations. Next catalysts: Initial RDP drill results expected mid-October, followed by Kliyul results in November. Exploration strategy includes continued infill, step-outs, and testing new targets across both projects.

In this episode of The Entrepreneur Experiment, Gary Fox sits down with Paul Buckley — the fiercely honest and deeply reflective founder behind C2O Group. From nearly going pro in golf to blowing his savings in a poker room, to scaling and selling one of Australia's fastest-growing engineering companies, Paul shares his rollercoaster journey through ambition, burnout, and bold reinvention. You'll hear how Paul built EPS Group Australia from the ground up, scaled it to $84M in revenue in just three years, and exited in a major acquisition — only to find himself mentally and emotionally depleted in the aftermath. What followed was a two-year reset, a $14M relaunch, and a second act that's bigger, sharper, and backed by one of the world's leading private equity funds. If you're a founder who's exited (or wants to), this episode is your blueprint for navigating what comes next — the highs, the regrets, and the resilience it takes to start again.

Real leadership begins the moment your team starts to doubt you.Jeff Meredith, CEO of Chamberlain Group, has lived that moment. He took a 70-year-old garage door company and transformed it into a global tech powerhouse with 14M+ connected users. But as Jeff shared with me, the toughest part wasn't the technology or the strategy—it was earning back his team's trust in the middle of massive change.That resonated deeply with me. Because when the ground shifts under your feet, no business model or innovation will save you if your people stop believing.Jeff opened up about the leadership mistake that nearly cost him his team—and the exact steps he used to win them back. His story is a reminder that transformation isn't just about vision; it's about belief.If you're leading through uncertainty, Jeff's example proves one thing: no leader succeeds alone.-----Follow Jeff on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffrey-meredith-90a744112/Learn more about Chamberlain: https://www.chamberlain.com/-----Connect with the Host, #1 bestselling author Ben FanningSpeaking and Training inquiresSubscribe to my Youtube channelLinkedInInstagramTwitter

In this special data-driven edition of the EMS One-Stop podcast, host Rob Lawrence is joined by Dr. Brent Myers, chief medical officer, ESO, and Dr. Remle Crowe, ESO's director of clinical and operational research, to unpack the newly released 2025 ESO EMS Index. This annual report provides a powerful, real-world snapshot of national EMS trends — drawing on more than 14 million anonymized records to surface opportunities for clinical and operational improvement. The conversation dives into key metrics that move beyond response times and into areas like pain management, opioid overdoses, airway confirmation, obstetric emergencies, whole blood use, pediatric behavioral health and high-utilization patient populations. Throughout the episode, Drs. Myers and Crowe share the motivation behind each metric, explain how the data was gathered and analyzed, and reflect on how EMS agencies can use these insights to guide better care delivery and system design. From confronting equity in pain management, to pushing forward innovations like buprenorphine administration and whole blood programs, this is a compelling call to turn data into meaningful change.
