The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1211: Today we break down fading dealer confidence heading into 2026, hear how Mazda's retail-led strategy is boosting margins despite tariff headwinds, and look at why holiday shoppers are leaning on real human reviews over influencers.Show Notes with links:Dealer confidence slid hard to close out 2025 as rising costs, shaky consumer confidence, and slowing demand pushed the Cox Automotive Dealer Sentiment Index well below the positive threshold.Current market sentiment fell to 38 (down from 43 in Q3), with franchised dealers holding slightly stronger at 47, and independent dealers lower at 35. Future outlook declined from 46 to 42Customer traffic hit record lows, especially for franchised dealers, with both in-person and digital traffic declining.“Compared to the rest of the year, the current market feels like it's running out of gas,” said Mark Strand, Deputy Chief Economist at Cox Automotive.In a recent interview with Automotive News, Mazda CEO Masahiro Moro breaks down how the brand quietly climbed upmarket—growing dealer throughput, elevating brand value, and pushing margins higher—even as tariffs briefly knocked profitability off course.U.S. market share climbed from 1.7% to 2.6% since 2017, with ATPs jumping from $24K to $33K and dealer throughput nearly doubling at Retail Evolution stores.Tariff pressures led to a temporary loss, but Mazda expects a return to profitability in the back half of the year as CX-30 production adjusts and large-vehicle margins hold strong.On rotary's return, Moro teased: “2027 marks the 50th anniversary of our rotary engine… What do you want to see?”Turns out the real power shoppers this year aren't influencers—they're everyday consumers dropping reviews at record pace. Trustpilot reports a massive surge in review activity as buyers lean heavily on peer feedback before spending.Consumer reviews spiked 76% YoY, with nearly 4 million visitors participating in National Write a Review Week.86% of shoppers checked reviews before buying, and 40% waited specifically for others to post first.Top complaints? Delivery delays, tech issues, and weak customer service.“When people share their experiences, everyone shops smarter,” said Alicia Skubick, Trustpilot's chief customer officer.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/
What happens when you stop chasing status and start building a family mission?
Morgan and Kala Pepper are flipping properties to acquire rentals with no debt.For the past few years, they've been doing 1 flip a year.Now they're aiming for 7 flips this year, plus 3 to 5 rentals.They're doing this in a market where they can buy a house for $20K, put in $24K, and end up all-in at $48K.(That's less than the price of a kitchen in some cities.)Here's how they scaled faster in 4 months than they did in the last 4 years.If you're like most people, you won't scale in 2026 with the same habits you had in 2025. Morgan and Kayla didn't buy six properties in four months because of luck.

Google Top Searched July Trends Announcer – 0:00: Mason Vera Paine. Mason Paine – 0:01: The month of July has come to an end. Find out what were some of the top trends with Google Trends expert Jennifer Jones. Thanks for joining me Jennifer. Jennifer Jones – 0:09: Hey, I'm so glad to be with you Mason. Mason Paine – 0:11: So walk me through July. What was trending? Jennifer Jones – 0:14: It's been a bit all over the map this month as you can imagine. We're just going to take a look back at the top trending searches this month. I wanted to go ahead and start with entertainment. I'm sure you have not been able to escape escape the phenomenon that is Labubus. The Labubus and the plush keychains are actually at a global all time high right now. If you're not familiar with the Labubu, they are the little plush crazy looking dolls that everyone is carrying around on their keychains. A lot of people want to know where to find one. You know we've gotten some funny inquiries including, like is the 24K Karat Gold Labubu reel. There's of conspiracy theories out there like is the Labubu doll evil? Why are they so popular? That kind of thing. Mason Paine – 0:57: Wow, 24 karat. I have to ask, was it real? Jennifer Jones – 1:00: The Internet is mixed. Some people think that it is. It is not real. Evidently when you get a Labubu doll you don't necessarily know what's inside of the package. It's sort of like a blind item and someone has claimed that they got a 24 karat gold one. The debate is still out online whether or not that person made that up. Mason Paine – 1:16: So I got to think it's made up. That would be heavy, right? I imagine. Unless it was gold plated. Jennifer Jones – 1:22: Yes. But regardless, you know it would be expensive because. Because gold is pricey right now. Which actually takes us into another relevant trend is right now there's it's sort of no buy July and people are asking do I really need this?...

Hayden (25) earns $24K a year, has a history of gambling and financial dishonesty, and struggles with budgeting.

Okay, so you know how Jess has been bugging Cindy FOREVER to host a summit? Well, she finally did it! In this fun behind-the-scenes chat, Cindy spills all the tea on her first-ever Fractional Shift Summit that absolutely crushed it with 1,400+ registrations and $24K in revenue (and yes, she's got the Airtable data to prove it — you should see how happy spreadsheet data makes her!).Cindy opens up about why she finally felt ready to "take up space" as THE fractional expert, how she convinced practically every sponsor she approached to say yes (only three said no!), and why she thinks the nonprofit world needs way more time to make decisions than those "launch in 3 days" gurus will tell you.If you've been on the fence about hosting your own signature event, this episode is your permission slip to either go all-in or wait until it feels right. As Cindy says, it's definitely a "high effort, high reward" project — but now that she's built it once, she can rinse and repeat next year with half the stress.Highlights:The moment Cindy knew she was ready to claim her spot as THE thought leader on fractional roles (and why she's glad she waited)How she crafted a "curated approach" to partnerships that made sponsors feel like they were getting the golden ticket (and they funded all her speaker fees!)Why she started promoting a full two months before launch (and why LinkedIn delivered even better than her email list)The hilarious reality of launching her Academy right when the nonprofit world was in crisis mode (and what she'll do differently next time)Her secret weapon named Christine who made the whole thing possible (because let's be real, no one does this alone!)Breaking News Alert! Jess and Cindy also drop the bomb that they're hosting in-person masterminds this year in Toronto (May 21), Boulder (August), and possibly Atlanta (October).
