Shoot us a Text.Episode #1012: Today we're talking about Lithia Motors' internal challenge to boost service growth, FM Capital's $240M bet on auto tech startups—with strong dealer backing, and the mounting issues facing Tesla's Cybertruck.Show Notes with links:Facing underperformance in its service and parts growth, Lithia Motors is turning inward, challenging its frontline teams to raise the bar and reclaim momentum in a key revenue area.Lithia's Q4 same-store service and parts revenue grew 3.4%, falling short of peers like Sonic (10%) and Penske (6.2%).CEO Bryan DeBoer emphasized it's not a technician shortage, but a “mindset issue” among service advisers and managers.The company is expanding its Partners Group program to include department managers, offering stock incentives tied to higher performance standards.COO Adam Chamberlain sees aftersales as a major 2025 growth driver, but warns current operations sacrifice customer pay for warranty work.DeBoer: “There's been way too soft of management and lip service... Sixty to 90 days is our new mantra,”Venture firm FM Capital has closed its fourth fund at $240 million, aiming to fuel retail and mobility tech across the auto industry—with major backing from dealership groups.The fund surpassed its $200M target despite a tough venture capital environment.Investments will target AI, fleet tech, autonomy, connectivity, and energy transition.125 investors participated, including 56 dealership groups representing over 1,100 stores. Holman and Cox Automotive returned as key backers in this round.Chase Fraser, Managing Partner of FM Capital: “Dealerships really respect entrepreneurs because they are entrepreneurs themselves. They want to get involved. They want to mentor some of these entrepreneurs. They want to test their products. They want to give them feedback because who knows better than the user?”Tesla's Cybertruck is facing a brand-new problem—its maker doesn't want it back. Owners looking to trade in their trucks are getting turned away, exposing deeper trouble for the high-profile pickup.Tesla is reportedly refusing to accept Cybertrucks as trade-ins, citing resale struggles and declining demand.The company has a backlog of nearly 2,400 unsold units worth $200M, with used values down 55% year-over-year.Some frustrated owners are resorting to Lemon Laws just to offload the vehicle.Other dealers are low-balling owners or avoiding Cybertrucks altogether due to market instability.A Cybertruck recall this year revealed that only 46K of the vehicles have been delivered so far.Join hosts Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier 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/

He said it takes longer to train older workers but the extra time is worth it. “Once they get it, God, it's refreshing. I say, ‘This is what we're doing today,' and it gets done.

The first million-selling hit from Motown is our theme this week. (RIP Barrett Strong, 1941-2023) Virtually all political scandals involve either seeking greater power, or money. This week's discussion focuses on the latter. We are joined in the podcast by two national leaders in the drive to disrupt the political money machine: Gabe Lezra from Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics (better known as CREW), and Lisa Gilbert from Public Citizen. Topping the political news this week: legislative Democrats move quickly on economic development, two major tax cuts and the presidential primary; Haley Stevens rules out a Senate race; Republicans double down on whining about 2020 and the Big Lie; and Florida provides a preview of the Big Brother mentality that could be the mantra of our next President. Lisa Gilbert is the Executive Vice President at Public Citizen. She advocates for government transparency and integrity, financial reform, civil justice, and consumer protections. Lisa has testified before Congress, and been quoted in publications such as the New York Times, the Associated Press, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, the Washington Post and NPR. She was also a featured contributor to the National Journal's "Expert Blog" on lobbying and ethics, and writes frequently for USA Today, Yahoo Finance, and The Hill. Gabe Lezra is the Federal Policy Manager and a Senior Counsel at Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), where he specializes in anti-corruption, democracy reform, and government ethics law. He also serves as the Policy Working Group Leader at the Declaration for American Democracy (DFAD) coalition, where he has helped develop the coalition's democracy reform agenda. Prior to joining CREW, Gabe served as a counsel at the American Association for Justice and as a financial institutions and consumer law associate at Debevoise and Plimpton LLP in New York. Gabe received his J.D. with honors from Georgetown Law and his B.A. with high honors from Wesleyan University.

John Whelan, President, CEO and Director of Inhalon Biopharma, a start-up immunotherapy company developing an inhaled “muco-trapping” antibody platform for treating a variety of acute respiratory infections, discusses the award of a $7 million government contract from the U.S. Army Medical Research & Development Command (USAMRDC) to conduct a placebo-controlled Phase 1/2a study of the treatment in COVID-19 outpatients. Inhalon's treatment, IN-006, is a potent, neutralizing monoclonal antibody designed to trap pathogens like COVID-19 in airway mucus and clear them from the airways in minutes. This technology offers a more immediate and scalable way of treating respiratory infections than current treatment options. John has over 20 years of experience leading venture-backed and public biotech companies. He has worked in early and late-stage companies taking products from discovery through NDA submission. He has contributed to the growth of these companies by building skilled, effective management teams and raising over $240M in funding through financings and collaborations.Most recently John held the role of President and COO at Neuraltus Pharmaceuticals, a private company developing a treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Prior to Neuraltus, Mr. Whelan held executive leadership positions with several life science companies, including President, CEO and Board Director at Heron Therapeutics where he led the company's turnaround. Earlier, he was COO and CFO at Raven biotechnologies, where he led the sale of the company to MacroGenics. #InhalonBiopharma #COVID19

John Stamstad was the first person to time trial the Great Divide Mountain Bike route in 1999. He completed the route in just over 18 days! Navigational technology like we have today just didn’t exist then, so considering he only had paper maps available, his time truly is astounding.It seems like only yesterday that I spoke with John but I wanted to reconnect with him after his battle with the The Cross Washington Mountain Bike Route (XWA). The XWA was a route put together by Troy Hopwood and is a 680 mile (1,094KM) track with 50,000’ (15,240M) of climbing. The route, that starts on the coast of Washington State on the Olympic Peninsula and ends at the Idaho border by Spokane, takes riders through Washington’s diverse ecosystems via a mix of dirt roads, single track and some pavement..John had been off the bike for quite some time and hadn’t done an event for a while but the trail was calling to him. John started training in preparation for the Dirty Kanza XL but, like with a lot of events this past summer, Covid-19 put those plans on the back burner. The XWA was logistically easy to pull off for this Seattle resident and since it was just him and the trail, physical distancing wasn’t an issue.In this episode we discuss his preparation for the event, the challenges he faced along the way, his fueling strategy as well as his future plans. John is always a wealth of information and I really enjoyed speaking with him again. Enjoy!

Lots of people have a great idea, but they fail to have any understanding of who they want to bring that idea to or exactly who that perfect person might be in the first place. They sit, wish, wait, hope and pray for success as opposed to point themselves in a targeted, directed fashion with the right message towards the right person at the right time. Professional sales trainer and coach, Phil M. Jones, teaches on exactly what to say for influence and impact to close a sale. Phil entered the world of business at the tender age of fourteen. With nothing more than a bucket and sponge, he went from washing cars at weekends to hiring a fleet of friends working on his behalf, resulting in him earning more than his teachers by the time he was fifteen. His career went from strength to strength, as he worked with a host of Premier League Football Clubs to help them agree sponsorship and licensing agreements, to then being a key part of growing a £240M property business. Phil is now on a mission to demystify the sales process and bring simplicity and integrity to an industry where the only thing that seem to matter are short-term results with no thought for the impact on everyone involved.

Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines. This week TechCrunch's Matthew Lynley and Crunchbase News's Alex Wilhelm were joined by Jyoti Bansal, the founder of AppDynamics and a partner at Unusual Ventures, among other startup work. Our own Connie Loizos was off this week. This episode was effectively a news grab-bag. There's a little of everything: public company drama, big rounds, acquisitions, and more. Up top: Apple's broaching of the $1 trillion barrier, which some people called early and some people called late. It depends on how you were counting. But the venerable consumer electronics giant did indeed manage to hoist its market cap over the trillion dollar mark, making it the first American company to do so. But as we all wind up agreeing, it's just a round number. Moving along Sonos's IPO had a good first day but only after a disappointing pricing run. Or as Lynley explains on the show, the firm had to price under its target range to go out, but then closed above that target range by the end of its first day's trading. This is more evidence that pricing an IPO is an occult art of sorts. (More here on the company's numbers.) Scooting along, Duo Security is exiting to Cisco for $2.35 billion. This deal came at quite literally the perfect moment as the company our guest founded sold to Cisco for $3.7 billion last year. Why? Recurring revenue, which is seeing its value rise. And finally, Brandless, which picked up a massive $240 million round led by the ever-hungry SoftBank Vision Fund. A deal to which I had a question: Why? All that and we even managed to tell a joke and mangle a segue. More next week!

Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines. This week TechCrunch's Matthew Lynley and Crunchbase News's Alex Wilhelm were joined by Jyoti Bansal, the founder of AppDynamics and a partner at Unusual Ventures, among other startup work. Our own Connie Loizos was off this week. This episode was effectively a news grab-bag. There's a little of everything: public company drama, big rounds, acquisitions, and more. Up top: Apple's broaching of the $1 trillion barrier, which some people called early and some people called late. It depends on how you were counting.
