Shoot us a Text.Episode #1066: Today we're looking at the May economic data from Cox Automotive, how Lucid is reducing its dependence on foreign battery materials and how Meta has increased its ad revenue without increasing volume through targeting.Show Notes with links:May's economic and automotive data show a market adjusting to tighter consumer budgets and lingering workforce shifts. Retail remains steady, but pricing sensitivity is driving realignment in both new and used inventory strategies.Employers added 139K jobs in May, topping forecasts, but downward revisions led to a net 95K job loss.Auto dealer employment rose by 2,100 jobs, though it's still 1.1% below pre-COVID levels.New-vehicle SAAR dropped to 15.6M in May, down from 17.8M in April. Retail SAAR outpaced last year's.Incentives averaged $3,297—the highest discounting level in five years, and the average price paid dropped to 95.7% of MSRP.Used-vehicle sales dipped 3% month-over-month, but are up 4% year-over-yearWith all the buzz around China's dominance of EV battery raw materials, Lucid surprised us with a plan to source all of its materials domestically.Lucid's agreement with Graphite One kicks off natural graphite production in 2028 from Alaska's Graphite Creek site.They've layered this with a 2024 synthetic graphite deal and a 2026 supply agreement with Syrah Resources in Louisiana.All three deals align with IRA requirements, boosting eligibility for EV tax credits and reducing reliance on China, which supplies 90%+ of the world's anode materials.Graphite One's Ohio facility will produce enough anode material for up to 2 million EVs per year.Lucid's Interim CEO said the U.S.-focused strategy “supports our efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of our vehicles.”Meta might be all-in on Gen Z vibes, but it's the boomers and Gen Xers footing the bill. A new Barclays report reveals that older Facebook users see far more ads—because they're the ones clicking.Facebook shows more ads to users aged 45+ due to higher purchasing power.Those aged 45-54 see the highest ad load at 22%; teens only see 4.3%.Dynamic ad tech like Andromeda and Lattice tailors volume by user value.97% of Meta's revenue comes from ads.Meta has actually increased ad revenue without upping total ad volume by targeting high-value users—a shift analysts call “arguably the most bullish development.”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/

In Episode 27 you'll hear the details of two late-week public affairs developments we've led the way on - the Winnipeg Metropolitan Region's failed attempt to strong-arm Rural Municipalities into supporting their power grab; andthe forbidden solution for bus driver safety.Part 1-  The NDP passed Bill 4, which gives dissident members of the Winnipeg Metropolitan Region (WMR) – a way to exit the organization. It's now being more formally referred to as the Capital Planning Region (CPR) to try to get the public to forget it's led by the same elected politicians that mocked and insulted them for daring to have questions about their vaunted Plan20-50.By coincidence, Marty Gold returned to Niverville to host a sports event on Saturday and heard some reflections from locals on how Plan20-50, fell apart before a public hearing in their town even started. The WMR by-law would have given Mayor Scott Gillingham a veto over the development, planning, zoning and agricultural rules of all the other 17 municipalities.Outraged citizens complained about an incomplete and jargon-filled document many felt was ramming through a UN / 15 Minute Cities agenda with fake public consultations and a sleepy press keeping the public clued out- until Marty explained how Gillingham could stop it. And now, the first brick is about to fall from the WMR empire. Listen to the proposal being put before the City of Selkirk council to leave the Plan20-50 crowd and the reasons why. (Related- Oct 7 2024- Browaty Says Plan20-50 Problems Started With Pallister )We describe how Wab Kinew's “Freedom Bill” has a few tricky procedural hoops, and some unfinished business between Selkirk and the WMR.15.00- “Et Tu, Winnipeg?”  We explain why Mayor Gillingham and City Councillors are going to have to hold a very public discussion about the WMR before the next municipal election. That means tell taxpayers where they stand, and listen to the people about whether or not elected politicians wanting to be “just like the GVRD” and become centralized planning overlords is in the best interest of Winnipeggers.******* We continue to reveal key details behind the headlines with sharp insightful reporting - please chip in to the Season Six $10,000 funding campaign at https://actionline.ca/2024/02/donate-2/ ********24.30 PART 2 – The city has $2.7 million to spend to develop, produce and install full barriers to shield transit operators from ever-increasing violence.You'll hear Marty describe what that can be like- because he went through it in the late 1980's as a driver representative when cabbie murders spurred a Manitoba Workplace Safetycommittee led by Prof. Wally Fox-Decent to explore taxicab shields.“It's a crazy world out there and … this council is focussing heavily on improving transit, and we want our drivers tobe safe,” Coun. Janice Lukes said. As chair of Public Works, Lukes all-in on bus driver safety- but silent about protecting bus riders. 32.35- Unspoken by Lukes or even the ATU local 1505, is theacknowledged reason behind 90% of Transit incidents. But just like lawbreakers who panhandle on roadways and panhandle at night, violence-minded fare skippers also don't face the music. 35.40- What is the “fare evasion prevention strategy”? OnlyTGCTS has the disappointing details from City Hall.Estimates of revenue loss from scofflaws is between $6M and $10M a year. Instead of trying to collect from the noted cheapskates, and keep freeloading troublemakers off the buses, Lukes wants to spend another $2.7 Million tax dollars on safety yet let them continue to ride for free to drink, inject drugs, smoke crack, and horrify and intimidate students, seniors and new Canadians who won't be protected by a shield.Recent columns in the Winnipeg Sun:https://winnipegsun.com/opinion/columnists/gold-panhandling-returns-to-forefront-as-safety-concerns-grow-in-winnipeghttps://winnipegsun.com/opinion/columnists/gold-oseredok-becoming-a-cultural-hub-in-east-exchange

What's the most innovative way to scale a recruitment firm—especially in a fast-changing, competitive market? For Stuart Barnes, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Navitas Recruitment Group, the answer was combining quick-turn perm revenue with recurring contract income. That dual strategy helped Navitas grow from zero to over £2.6M in net fee income within just two years. In this episode, Stuart shares the real story behind launching a VC-backed recruitment firm in the renewable energy sector. He opens up about the early pressure, the emotional rollercoaster, and the systems that made rapid growth possible—from his blended revenue model to their structured approach to business development. You'll also hear how Stuart returned to hands-on billing after years in leadership, personally generating over £100k in placements while laying the foundation for a high-performance culture. If you're a recruitment founder or team leader looking for real-world strategies that scale, this episode is packed with insights you can put into action. Episode Highlights: [01:43] How Stuart's international experience shaped his mindset as a founder [06:22] From startup to £2.6M: how Navitas scaled in under 3 years [10:22] Why he chose renewables and what made it the right niche [13:41] Inside their aggressive 5-year growth plan [18:00] The “key ingredients” that powered their rapid start [29:24] Why BD should never stop—and how Navitas approaches it [37:57] The Channels they use for BD (and how Teams invites help book meetings) [46:09] Team structure and growth philosophy [53:40] Lessons from scaling too fast [55:52] Why KPIs should be meaningful, not just numbers [1:02:00] What's next: expansion, strategy shifts, and Austin plans Key Takeaways: ✅ Balanced revenue model – Contract = recurring cash flow. Perm = speed. Together = sustainable growth. ✅ Structured BD system – The “3 buckets, 300 hiring managers, 1 hour daily” method that drives consistency. ✅ Hands-on leadership – Stuart led by example, returning to billing and setting the tone for scale.

Send us a textColin and Josh finally spill the beans on their latest mobile home park deal — a $3.6 million portfolio they locked down with (almost) no money out of pocket. But here's the catch: they actually did bring a few grand to the table… so is "no money down" just a sexy lie to sell you a course?This episode dives into what “no money out of pocket” really means, how their investor got 5% equity, and the beautiful mess of coordinating signatures with trusts, partners, and a very tired Josh who went to bed at 7:30 PM. Oh, and if you're a high-income earner looking to offset taxes — the boys talk depreciation and short-term rental loopholes too. Grab a wine (hopefully worth $460 like Colin's), and enjoy the banter.

Interview with Malcolm Dorsey, President & CEO of Torr Metals Inc.Recording date: 13th May 2025Torr Metals (TSXV:TMET) is a Canadian exploration company preparing for its maiden drill program at the Kolos Project in southern British Columbia—a road-accessible copper-gold porphyry target located near major producing mines like New Afton and Highland Valley. With strong early indicators including high-grade surface samples and a 1,300m x 800m geophysical anomaly at the Bertha Zone, Torr is targeting up to 3,000 meters of drilling in 2025.The Kolos Project benefits from exceptional infrastructure: it lies along Highway 5, 30 minutes from a lab in Kamloops, and requires no seasonal camp. This accessibility dramatically reduces costs and supports fast assay turnaround. CEO Malcolm Dorsey emphasizes that Kolos exhibits “a very large zone of hydrothermal alteration and mineralization,” consistent with porphyry systems sought by major miners.Torr's land position is strategically located within a competitive mining district. Majors like Teck, New Gold, Hudbay, Fortescue, and Boliden have recently staked nearby, signaling rising interest in the area. With New Afton and Highland Valley approaching end-of-life within 6–15 years, a discovery at Kolos could serve as a future feedstock source for local mills.Beyond Kolos, Torr offers exploration optionality with two additional projects: the Filion Gold Project in Ontario, featuring high-grade historic samples, and the Latham copper-gold project in northern BC, both aligned with the company's low-cost, highway-accessible strategy.With just 42 million shares outstanding, a ~$6M market cap, and 25% insider ownership, Torr Metals provides investors with high-leverage exposure to copper-gold discovery. As electrification drives long-term copper demand and supply tightens, Torr is positioned as an emerging junior in a region that majors are watching closely.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

DAMION1Kohl's CEO Fired for Funneling Business to Romantic Partner 10Kohl's boss Ashley Buchanan tried to funnel business to a romantic partner and lost his job. It wasn't the first time their personal and professional lives had crossed.Kohl's fired Buchanan on Thursday after it discovered he had instructed the retailer to enter into a “highly unusual” business deal involving a woman with whom he has a romantic relationship, according to people familiar with the situation. The pair currently live together in an upscale golf community in the suburbs of Dallas.Buchanan met the woman, Chandra Holt, when they were both working at Walmart several years ago, the people said. His divorce proceedings show the two had a romantic relationship while he was the CEO of Michaels. The arts-and-crafts chain also tried to hire Holt during his tenure.A Kohl's board investigation by outside lawyers found that Buchanan violated the company's code of conduct in two instances with a vendor with whom he had a personal relationship and whom it didn't name, according to a regulatory filing. The filing said he directed the retailer to conduct business with a vendor founded by this person “on highly unusual terms,” and he caused the company to enter into a multimillion-dollar consulting agreement, where that person was part of the consulting team.On Thursday, Kohl's appointed Chairman Michael Bender as its interim CEO. He becomes the fourth CEO in three years at the department-store chain, which has been struggling with slumping sales.Nominating Committee:John E. Schlifske* (2011; 6%)Michael J. Bender (2019; 18%)Robbin Mitchell (2021; 7%)Adrianne Shapira (2016; 6%)Even CEOs sometimes get the 'you're fired' treatment 11Great, nobody understands corporate governanceMeta exec apologizes to conservative activist Robby StarbuckJoel Kaplan, Meta's chief global affairs officer, has issued a public apology to conservative influencer Robby Starbuck after Starbuck filed a lawsuit alleging that Meta's artificial intelligence chatbot produced responses containing false and defamatory information about him. “Robby — I watched your video — this is unacceptable. This is clearly not how our AI should operate,” Kaplan wrote on X, which is one of Meta's competitors. He referred to a 20-minute video in which Starbuck laid out his claims, including that Meta's AI falsely associated him with the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and the QAnon conspiracy theory.“We're sorry for the results it shared about you and that the fix we put in place didn't address the underlying problem,” Kaplan continued. “I'm working now with our product team to understand how this happened and explore potential solutions.”Bob Monks, fierce champion of shareholders against what he saw as boardroom failings 0An American pioneer of investor activism and better corporate governance.Monks emerged as a doughty champion of shareholders against what he saw as increasingly self-serving and complacent boardroom behaviourIn 1985 he founded Institutional Shareholder Services, which advises funds that own shares in multiple companies how best to exercise their voting power. He also helped create Lens, an activist investment fund, and GMI Ratings, a scrutineer of corporate behaviour which claimed to have downgraded BP before the Deepwater Horizon disaster, the insurance giant AIG before the 2008 financial crisis and News Corp before the phone-hacking scandal.His most celebrated campaign, in 1991, was an attempt to become a director of the underperforming retail and financial conglomerate Sears Roebuck, for which he ran a full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal depicting the existing Sears board as “non-performing assets”. Though his candidacy was rejected, many of his proposals for rationalisation were adopted, and he was able to declare: “Sears has been changed.”This low-profile CEO is the highest-paid in America with a $101 million paycheck that beat out Starbucks, Microsoft, and Apple chiefs 10Jim Anderson, a low-profile executive of Pennsylvania-based Coherent, which produces equipment for networks and lasersHere's what the dopey reporting missed:An originally announced golden hello equity award of $48M that magically morphed into $91M come proxy time.48% NO on Say on PayToo large Pay Committee: 6 members, led by Shaker Sadasivam, who was NOT up reelection this year. Also includes Mike Dreyer (22% NO), former COO of Silicon Valley BankEuronext rebrands ESG in drive to help European defence firms 10In a statement renaming ESG - the acronym given to Environmental, Social and Governance-driven investing - as Energy, Security and Geostrategy, Euronext's CEO and Chairman Stephane Boujnah said it was responding to a "new geopolitical order"."European aerospace and defence companies have expressed the urgent need to invest heavily in their innovation and production capacities to guarantee Europe's strategic autonomy for the next decade," Euronext said in the statement.Among the measures, Euronext said it would revisit the methodologies for ESG indexes to limit the exclusions currently placed on defence companies.OpenAI, facing pressure, announces its nonprofit will stay in control after allOpenAI announced a smaller-scale change to its famously complex structure. Remember that it was founded as a nonprofit. But in 2019, it set up a for-profit subsidiary to start raising money from investors to finance its eye-wateringly expensive A.I. research. Then last year, the company moved to turn itself into a for-profit entity in which the nonprofit held a stake but didn't have control.Now, OpenAI plans to turn its for-profit subsidiary into a public benefit corporation, which would still be controlled by the nonprofit, though the size of its stake remains undetermined. (Got all that?) Sam Altman, its C.E.O., said yesterday that the revised plan still gives his start-up “a more understandable structure to do the things that a company like us has to do.”The AI Industry Has a Huge Problem: the Smarter Its AI Gets, the More It's HallucinatingZuckerberg Says in Response to Loneliness Epidemic, He Will Create Most of Your Friends Using Artificial IntelligenceIn an interview with podcaster Dwarkesh Patel this week, Zuckerberg asserted that more people should be connecting with chatbots on a social level — because, in a striking line of argumentation, they don't have enough real-life friends.When asked if AI chatbots can help fight the loneliness epidemic, the billionaire painted a dystopian vision of a future in which we spend more time talking to AIs than flesh-and-blood humans."There's the stat that I always think is crazy, the average American, I think, has fewer than three friends," Zuckerberg told Patel. "And the average person has demand for meaningfully more, I think it's like 15 friends or something, right?""The average person wants more connectivity, connection, than they have," he concluded, hinting at the possibility that the discrepancy could be filled with virtual friends.Tesla Is Extremely Upset About Reporting That Its Board Has Been Looking Into Replacing Elon MuskLeading Independent Proxy Advisory Firm ISS Recommends Harley-Davidson Shareholders Vote "FOR ALL" of Harley-Davidson's Highly Qualified Director Nominees 10Targeted DirectorsCEO/Chair Zeitz (2007, 30%): who has already stepped down as CEOLead Director Norman Thomas Linebarger (2008, 13%): who is not independentSara Levinson (1996, 20%): the longest-tenured director Matt: HARD HITTING ANALYSIS“[I]t appears that his time in the role has been more positive than negative, which makes it hard to argue that his vote on a successor is worthless.”"[T]here are compelling reasons to believe that as a group [the targeted directors] still have a perspective that can be valuable.”"[I]t appears that the board initiated the [CEO search] process promptly…”, Target CEO's pay slashed by a whopping 45% after his disastrous mishandling of DEI 5Patrick Kennedy of The Minnesota Star Tribune used Total Realized Pay: down from $18.1M last year mostly because of a reduction in vested stock, $5.6M down from $13.6M.
