Happy Friday, everyone! Congrats on making it through another week, and what a week it was. This week I had some big topics, so I ran out of time for the positive use-case, but I'll fit it in next week.Here's a quick rundown of the topics with more detail below. First, Meta had an AI policy doc lead, and boy did it tell a story while sparking outrage and raising deeper questions about what's really being hardwired into the systems we all use. Then I touch on Geoffrey Hinton, the “Godfather of AI,” and his controversial idea that AI should have maternal instincts. Finally, I dig into the growing wave of toxic work expectations, from 80-hour demands to the exodus of young mothers from the workforce.With that, let's get into it.⸻Looking Beyond the Hype of Meta's Leaked AI Policy GuidelinesA Reuters report exposed Meta's internal guidelines on training AI to respond to sensitive prompts, including “sensual” interactions with children and handling of protected class subjects. People were pissed and rightly so. However, I break down why the real problem isn't the prompts themselves, but the logic being approved behind them. This is much bigger than the optics of some questionable guidelines; it's about illegal reasoning being baked into the foundation of the model.⸻The Godfather of AI Wants “Maternal” MachinesGeoffrey Hinton, one of the pioneers of AI, is popping up everywhere with his suggestion that training AI with motherly instincts is the solution to preventing it from wiping out humanity. Candidly, I think his logic is off for way more reasons than the cringe idea of AI acting like our mommies. I unpack why this framing is flawed, what leaders should actually take away from it, and why we need to move away from solutions that focus on further humanizing AI. It's to stop treating AI like a human in the first place.⸻Unhealthy Work Demands and the Rising Exodus of Young MomsAn AI startup recently gave its employees a shocking ultimatum: work 80 hours a week or leave. What happened to AI eliminating the need for human work? Meanwhile, data shows young mothers are exiting the workforce at troubling rates, completely reversing all the gains we saw during the pandemic. I connect the dots between these headlines, AI's role in rise of unsustainable work expectations, and the long-term damage this entire mindset creates for businesses and society.⸻If this episode was helpful, would you share it with someone?

In 2025, global organizations are racing to adopt Generative AI—but success doesn't always mean sprinting. Take KPMG, which hosted a two-day AI training for 90 tax interns, teaching them prompt techniques like “chain of thought” to boost task completion efficiencies up to 80%. The program used simple tools, group discussions, and practical coaching—proving that AI…

In this episode, we're joined by Lin Qiao, CEO and co-founder of Fireworks AI. Drawing on key lessons from her time building PyTorch, Lin shares her perspective on the modern generative AI development lifecycle. She explains why aligning training and inference systems is essential for creating a seamless, fast-moving production pipeline, preventing the friction that often stalls deployment. We explore the strategic shift from treating models as commodities to viewing them as core product assets. Lin details how post-training methods, like reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT), allow teams to leverage their own proprietary data to continuously improve these assets. Lin also breaks down the complex challenge of what she calls "3D optimization"—balancing cost, latency, and quality—and emphasizes the role of clear evaluation criteria to guide this process, moving beyond unreliable methods like "vibe checking." Finally, we discuss the path toward the future of AI development: designing a closed-loop system for automated model improvement, a vision made more attainable by the exciting convergence of open and closed-source model capabilities.

A new bill in the House aims to expand federal workforce access to AI Training. But with AI coming in many different forms and functions depending on particular positions and missions, agencies may be asking "AI Training for what?" Here with some suggestions about how to prioritize training strategies is the Director of Emerging Security Trends at the SANS Institute, John Pescatore.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Recent research by Strata, Ireland's leading provider of construction time management and digital construction services, reveals that 88% of construction and engineering professionals have accelerated their use of digital technologies over the past year. In addition, nearly 70% of respondents are leveraging these tools to drive smarter decision-making and innovation across the sector. Barriers to digital adoption The 2025 Strata Report: Digital Transformation in Construction highlighted that siloed workflows are the leading barrier to digital adoption in the sector. Time constraints ranked second, driven by limited capacity for training and the pressure of industry-wide labour shortages. In third place, skillset gaps point to an urgent need for targeted training and the strategic hiring of new digital capabilities to support transformation. Knowledge of AI The research found that 81% of construction and engineering professionals report only basic or moderate knowledge of Artificial Intelligence (AI). However, more than 71% of respondents believe AI will be critical in shaping the future of the sector. Despite this strong belief, over half of companies surveyed had yet to implement formal AI training for their teams. Sustainability in sector When asked about the importance of sustainability in the sector, 85% of construction and engineering professionals said it will become more important over the next one to three years. This contrasted with just 5% reporting significant progress in utilising digital tools such as carbon calculations and whole-life assessments. Commenting on the findings, Enda Grimes, Director and Founder of Strata said: "With the Government's National Planning Framework prioritising accelerated housing delivery, and the Climate Action Plan placing new demands on infrastructure and sustainability targets, meeting construction demand will require greater efficiency and new ways of working. In this context, digitalisation and AI are no longer optional efficiency tools - they are essential levers for delivering on national ambitions." "Our research shows that while digital adoption is gaining momentum across the sector, a significant gap in skills and applied knowledge remains in our industry. Addressing this challenge requires collaboration with digital experts who not only bring strong digital capability, but also understand the practical complexities of engineering and construction. As Ireland's population continues to grow, the need to improve our infrastructure becomes more urgent. By combining deep engineering expertise with digital innovation, we can accelerate delivery and build the resilient infrastructure we need." Over 250 construction and engineering professionals, representing over 170 individual companies in Ireland, the UK and mainland Europe took part in the Strata survey in the second quarter of 2025.

Send us a textThe European Parliament has released a groundbreaking 175-page study concluding that AI companies' practice of training on copyrighted material without permission constitutes mass reproduction not covered by current laws. This study recommends transforming the landscape through an opt-in system, radical transparency requirements, and fair compensation models for creators whose work trains AI systems.• EU study reveals AI companies are treating the internet like a free "all-you-can-eat buffet" of creative content• Recommendation to shift from opt-out to opt-in system requiring AI companies to request permission• Call for mandatory transparency about what data AI models are trained on• Proposal for fair licensing models similar to Spotify where creators get paid when their work trains AI• New EU AI Act regulations taking effect in August will incorporate some of these protectionsStay safe, stay informed, and always question the code.

Whether AI training and generation is a fair use under copyright law puts two important American business sectors in opposition, and each looks to the various branches of the federal government for answers. Fundamentally, essentially all training of AI models involves copying of copyrighted materials, and many outputs from AI systems also may be substantially similar to copyrighted material and thus infringing if they are not fair uses.On May 9, 2025, the U.S. Copyright Office released a pre-publication version of the third and final part of its report on Copyright and AI, focused on Generative AI Training. The report concludes that some is fair use but some is not, and urges that existing efforts to engage in licensing of copyrighted content continue. Meanwhile, over forty cases on the issue are ongoing in the United States alone, with cases ongoing in another eight nations as well. The District Court in Delaware has ruled that at least one such case was not a fair use, and further rulings are expected soon from around the country. Meanwhile the White House has indicated an interest in AI policy and may have its own prerogatives.Leading experts will discuss the issue and answer questions on this fast-moving and important issue.Featuring:Meredith Rose, Senior Policy Counsel, Public KnowledgeRegan Smith, Senior Vice President & General Counsel, News/Media AllianceModerator: Zvi Rosen, Assistant Professor, Southern Illinois University School of Law

A new artificial intelligence training center for New York City teachers is raising concerns among some educators about creating a harmful environment that stunts student learning and critical thinking. Meanwhile, the United Federation of Teachers has voted to endorse Zohran Mamdani in the mayoral election. Also, a WNYC analysis finds Mamdani won about 30 percent of districts that previously voted for Donald Trump. Data show many of the voters in those Trump-Mamdani neighborhoods are Asian American. WNYC's Joe Hong has been speaking with some of those voters in Bensonhurst and Flushing. He discusses his findings.

Ajay Patel is the General Manager of Apptio and IBM IT automation. He and Kieron Allen sat down to talk about how enterprises are transitioning from AI experimentation to real business impact. They explored key challenges like cost transparency, governance, and data readiness, as well as the rise of agentic AI to automate workflows at scale. Ajay also introduced Apptio's new AI TCO and Usage tool, designed to help CIOs and CFOs measure and optimize AI investments.Smart Spending on AI The Big Themes:Enterprises Are Moving Beyond AI Experiments to Strategic Deployment: The era of AI experimentation is over. Enterprises are now actively deploying AI, particularly in sales, service operations, and software development. However, those achieving meaningful impact are taking a strategic approach, rather than letting teams experiment in silos. The C-suite increasingly sees AI as critical, but that value perception isn't always shared by the wider workforce.AI and IT Budgets: AI now consumes more than 20% of IT budgets, yet overall tech spending is only increasing 4–5%. This creates a 10–15% gap, leading companies to “forward fund” AI initiatives by reallocating from other areas. A key challenge: there's no standardized pricing for AI. To address this, IBM's Apptio launched the AI TCO and Usage solution. It helps CIOs and CFOs baseline current AI investments, measure unit economics, and identify areas to optimize or expand.Agentic AI, the Next Frontier: Agentic AI is key to scaling beyond isolated use cases. It enables automation at scale and connects AI investment to tangible business outcomes. From cost savings in infrastructure to better visibility in FinOps to boosting customer experience, the ROI is clear when deployed correctly. But none of this happens without data readiness, governance, and strategic clarity.The Big Quote: "AI TCO solution fundamentally starts by giving CIOs [and] CFOs in the business a complete view of where the tech spending and AI spending is, and what stage is that? Is it in a pilot phase? Is it for training models?"Learn more:Connect with Ajay Patel on LinkedIn and learn more about Apptio. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

This Day in Legal History: Alien ActOn June 25, 1798, the United States Congress passed the Alien Act, one of the four laws collectively known as the Alien and Sedition Acts. Signed into law by President John Adams, the Alien Act authorized the president to order the deportation of any non-citizen deemed "dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States." This law emerged during a time of heightened political tension and fear of foreign influence, particularly as hostilities with France escalated during the Quasi-War. The Federalist-controlled government promoted the act as a necessary measure to protect national security, but it quickly drew criticism from the rival Democratic-Republican Party.Critics argued the act violated fundamental principles of due process and civil liberties, granting the executive branch unchecked power over immigration and expulsion. The law did not require a criminal conviction or even a hearing, allowing deportation based solely on presidential discretion. Although the Alien Act had a two-year sunset clause and was never directly enforced through mass deportations, its passage contributed to a growing divide between Federalists and Jeffersonians.The broader set of Alien and Sedition Acts also targeted political dissent, with the Sedition Act criminalizing speech critical of the government. These laws played a central role in the 1800 presidential election, fueling opposition that ultimately helped Thomas Jefferson defeat John Adams. In the long run, the Alien Act became emblematic of federal overreach and was widely viewed as an overreaction to perceived threats. It underscored early challenges in balancing national security with individual rights and helped lay the groundwork for later debates on immigration and executive authority.A decade after the Supreme Court's landmark ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, a Christian legal group is preparing to challenge the decision that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. The move comes amid broader conservative momentum, including a Southern Baptist Convention resolution calling for the ruling's repeal and a recent Supreme Court decision upholding Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors. Despite these developments, legal experts, including conservatives, see little chance the Court will take up the challenge. John Bursch, a former Obergefell litigator, noted that overturning such a major precedent typically requires both time and significant public advocacy—Roe v. Wade, for instance, remained in force for nearly 50 years before being overturned in Dobbs.Nonetheless, Liberty Counsel is moving forward with a Supreme Court appeal on behalf of Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk who refused to issue a marriage license to a same-sex couple just days after Obergefell. Davis was found liable for $100,000 in emotional distress damages, and the group will argue that her actions were protected by the First Amendment. The Sixth Circuit rejected that argument, stating that Davis acted as a public official and thus could not claim constitutional protection for her refusal. Liberty Counsel also intends to ask the Court to reconsider the core ruling in Obergefell, comparing their strategy to how Dobbs upended abortion rights.Legal observers remain skeptical. The Supreme Court already declined to hear Davis's earlier appeal, and while Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito expressed concerns about the scope of Obergefell, they said Davis had not properly raised the issue in lower courts. That procedural misstep could again doom her case. Meanwhile, political efforts are mounting in conservative states, with resolutions and bills promoting "covenant marriage" that excludes same-sex couples. Still, critics such as the ACLU see these moves as largely symbolic and lacking real legal traction.Same-Sex Marriage Challenge Seen as Long Shot at Supreme CourtA new ruling in the case Bartz et al v. Anthropic PBC has provided the first major legal decision on whether training generative AI models qualifies as fair use under U.S. copyright law. District Judge William Alsup concluded that using legitimately purchased books to train AI models like Anthropic's Claude counts as transformative fair use, as long as the books are bought for training and then destroyed afterward. This decision gives AI developers a tentative legal framework, or “roadmap,” for creating compliant large language models, though the ruling is not without limits. Alsup allowed separate claims involving pirated training materials to proceed to trial, drawing a sharp line between lawful acquisition and copyright infringement.The court's ruling highlights the four traditional fair use factors, placing significant weight on the transformative nature of AI training while minimizing the importance of its commercial impact on the original market. Alsup asserted that the use was transformative enough to outweigh concerns over licensing markets, suggesting that AI training doesn't necessarily harm authors' ability to profit from their work. This view diverges from recent interpretations emphasizing market harm, such as the Supreme Court's 2022 Warhol decision. While this reasoning favors developers, it also creates tension with copyright owners, who argue the ruling downplays existing licensing practices.The decision notably distances itself from claims involving pirated materials. Alsup treated the copying and use of pirated books as a separate issue that may still result in substantial liability, including statutory damages. This split decision—approving the use of lawfully acquired materials but scrutinizing pirated content—offers a compromise approach that courts in similar cases might adopt. With multiple lawsuits against OpenAI and Meta pending, Alsup's ruling could influence upcoming decisions, though judges in other districts may interpret the law differently. The opinion suggests that training can be transformative and lawful under certain conditions but reinforces that AI companies must source training data responsibly.Mixed Anthropic Ruling Builds Roadmap for Generative AI Fair UseAnthropic wins key US ruling on AI training in authors' copyright lawsuit | ReutersKilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national previously deported under the Trump administration despite a court order barring his removal, is set to appear in a Nashville court to determine the terms of his release from jail. A U.S. magistrate judge ruled that Abrego could not be detained pending trial, citing insufficient evidence that he poses a danger. Abrego has pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiring to smuggle migrants into the U.S., accusations his legal team argues were intended to justify his unlawful deportation. His case has drawn attention as a symbol of the Trump administration's controversial immigration policies and has sparked civil rights concerns.The court noted that even if Abrego is released from criminal custody, immigration authorities may still detain him. The judge questioned the reliability of the government's witnesses, many of whom are convicted smugglers or deportees seeking leniency. Prosecutors allege Abrego transported migrants, including minors, on over 100 trips between Texas and Maryland, often accompanied by his own children to avoid suspicion. However, the court viewed these claims skeptically due to the witnesses' motivations and criminal backgrounds.U.S. officials initially labeled his deportation an “administrative error” and resisted calls to return him, raising further due process concerns. Another judge is investigating whether the administration violated court orders related to his removal. Ultimately, the Justice Department brought Abrego back to face charges, but the judge's recent ruling underscores the court's commitment to ensuring his constitutional rights are respected.Returned deportee Abrego due in US court over bail conditions | Reuters This is a public episode.

Have you ever wondered why some of the most innovative AI solutions still miss the mark for large segments of the population? The answer might lie in who's actually building and implementing these technologies. Today, we're diving into a crucial conversation about representation in AI - specifically, why having Latina voices at the table isn't just about diversity metrics, it's about creating better, more effective AI solutions for everyone. The truth is, AI is reshaping every aspect of our world, from how businesses operate to how we solve complex social problems. But here's the challenge: when the teams developing these technologies don't reflect the diversity of our society, we end up with blind spots that can limit AI's potential and even perpetuate existing inequalities. That's why I'm thrilled to welcome Dr. Nayana Guerrero, a pioneering researcher and educator who's not only studying these issues but actively working to change them. Dr. Guerrero has made remarkable contributions to our understanding of AI's role in business and gender equality, including groundbreaking research on women entrepreneurs and business feminism using AI tools. She's currently shaping the next generation of tech leaders at the Tecnológico de Monterrey, while also serving as President of the Gender Equality Committee at The National Council of Women Entrepreneurs, where she's helping strengthen women's presence in Mexico's social and business sectors. The AI Hat Podcast host Mike Allton asked Nayana Guerrero about: ✨ Diverse AI Leadership: Building better AI requires diverse perspectives at every level of development and implementation. ✨ Cultural Intelligence: Understanding cultural nuances is crucial for creating AI solutions that truly serve global markets. ✨ Educational Pipeline: Strengthening STEM education and mentorship for Latina students is key to future AI innovation.

The Supreme Court handed a win to President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency on Friday, granting the efficiency unit access to records at the Social Security Administration. The unsigned opinion provides the Elon Musk-associated DOGE with even more access to sensitive government information to fulfill its mission of making government more efficient. Just last month, the team also gained access to payment systems at the Department of Treasury. The ruling also comes at an awkward time for the DOGE, as Musk — its creator — and Trump are in the midst of an apparent falling out on social media. Per the decision, a majority of the justices voted to grant the administration's request to stay a lower court decision and concluded that “SSA may proceed to afford members of the SSA DOGE Team access to the agency records in question in order for those members to do their work.” Justices voted on political lines, with liberals Elena Kagan, Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor saying they would have denied the government's application for a stay. Simultaneously on Friday, the Supreme Court handed a second win to the DOGE, shielding it from producing documents as part of a discovery process in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. More federal workers would have access to artificial intelligence training under a bill reintroduced in the House on Thursday by Rep. Nancy Mace. The AI Training Extension Act of 2025 aims to expand the Artificial Intelligence Training for the Acquisition Workforce Act, which was signed into law by President Joe Biden in 2022, by offering available AI training to more pools of federal employees beyond the acquisition workforce, including “supervisors, managers, and frontline staff in data and technology roles,” according to a release from the South Carolina Republican's office. Chair of the House Oversight Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation, Mace previously introduced the bill in 2023 during the 118th Congress with Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., who passed away last month. Rep. Shontel Brown, D-Ohio, is a co-sponsor of the reintroduced bill. The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

In this episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, LA Williams and Tianna Mick (aka T Got Your Keys) pull back the curtain on some of the most overlooked—and underutilized—strategies that today's top automotive professionals are using to drive real results. "Social media absolutely has to be social. I got some tips that I could give to you if you want me." — LA Williams From communication techniques that reignite cold leads to modern tools that streamline the sales process, this high-energy conversation touches on the evolving toolkit of the 2025 car salesperson. Without giving too much away, let's just say if you've ever underestimated the power of a voicemail or dismissed AI as a “future thing,” this episode is about to change your mind. "AI is to just make workarounds so that way you actually have more time to focus on the things that are going to yield you the biggest result." — Tianna Mick Tianna and LA break down how today's buyers want to be engaged—and more importantly, how you can become the kind of salesperson who shows up where they are, with the right message, at the right time. If you're ready to stop selling like it's 2012 and start connecting like it's 2025, this episode is for you.   Key Takeaways: ✅ Voicemail Strategy: Creating engaging, curiosity-driven voicemails can significantly increase customer callbacks and drive sales success. ✅ AI in Dealerships: AI tools like ChatGPT and Podium enhance customer service by providing quick and relevant responses, ultimately improving lead conversion. ✅ Social Media Engagement: Leveraging platforms like Facebook and Instagram with a mix of personal, professional, and purposeful content helps build a loyal customer base. ✅ Personalization and Authenticity: Personalizing interactions and maintaining authenticity in customer communications is crucial for building trust and driving sales. ✅ AI Training for Sales: Encouraging salespeople to familiarize themselves with AI tools can streamline operations and save time, allowing focus on high-impact activities.   About LA Williams aka The Blind Master LA Williams, also known as the "Blind Phone Master," co-creates the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast. With extensive experience in automotive sales, LA specializes in effective communication strategies, particularly over the phone. Known for his ability to transform ordinary sales approaches into high-impact experiences, he uses his expertise to teach others how to achieve success in the car sales industry. LA is also recognized for his innovative use of technology, especially AI, to improve sales processes.   About Tianna Mick aka T Got Your Keys Tianna Mick, famously known as "T Got Your Keys," is a prominent figure in the automotive sales space. With a deep-rooted passion for engaging with customers through social media and digital platforms, she leverages cutting-edge tools and strategies to maximize customer engagement. Tianna is an enthusiastic champion of dealership success, providing valuable insights on sales through various media, including the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast.   Maximize Your Sales: The Art of Voicemails, AI, and Social Media in Car Sales Unlock the hidden potential of your dealership through the strategic use of voicemails, AI, and social media. A transformative approach to customer engagement is vital for boosting your bottom line this year. With effective communication strategies and technology-driven insights, you can revolutionize your dealership's operations and set the stage for unprecedented growth. Key Takeaways Voicemails Are Alive and Thriving: Contrary to popular belief, voicemails are a potent tool for engaging customers, as long as they are used correctly. AI as Your Secret Weapon: Leverage AI in every aspect of your dealership—from managing leads to sending perfect follow-ups. Social Media: Friend or Foe?: Embrace social platforms for what they were meant to be—social and engaging.   Voicemails: Not Just Old School, But Smart Voicemails are far from dead, especially if you know how to use them wisely. The power of a well-crafted voicemail lies in its ability to make the recipient curious enough to give you a callback. As LA Williams emphasizes, "If we could get conversations going…that's half the battle." Voicemail mastery involves not just what you say but how you say it—infusing the message with energy and a tone of trustworthiness while keeping them short and under 30 seconds. Williams further cautions against leaving dead voicemail messages. You know the ones—monotonously reminding prospects of what they already know. Instead, he advises creating valid curiosity using pointed questions. He asserts, "Tell the person that you have some key questions that you need to run by them." This technique effectively pulls the customer in and increases engagement rates. Despite the technological advancements in telecommunications, voicemail continues to be a fundamental tool in the salesperson's toolkit. With phones now transcribing voicemails into text, this feature offers a dual-engagement mode—listening and reading. The versatility of voicemails makes them an asset for reaching today's busy consumers. Harnessing the Power of AI for Lead Conversion Artificial Intelligence is not only the future; it's the present. It is a versatile tool that uniquely complements human efforts by managing leads and prompting timely follow-ups. As LA Williams introduces it, "Podium has Jerry, an AI whiz that sets up test drives, answers questions… and facilitates seamless sales." AI platforms like ChatGPT offer tailored sales messages, be they emails or text messages, carefully crafted to suit the customer's journey. The magic happens when AI is set to act like an intern—making suggestions, learning from each interaction, and evolving based on feedback. Williams shares a vivid story about how an AI app once malfunctioned, showing how deeply sales professionals rely on these tools. AI revolutionizes communication by enhancing the speed with which leads are managed. Instant responses are crucial in keeping customers warm, especially when a human may not be available to answer a call immediately. "Speed to lead is paramount," Williams reminds us, driving home the importance of fast, accurate customer service now achievable through AI integrations. Social Media Engagement: Beyond the Basics Social media isn't just another marketing tool; it's a robust platform for dynamic engagement. By presenting oneself authentically, you transform followers into raving fans. Williams explains, "From posting motivational quotes to sharing personal moments, social media should be an amalgamation of personal and professional." The strength of platforms like Facebook and Instagram lies in their capacity to humanize businesses and salespeople. Incorporating a balanced content strategy—personal, professional, purposeful, and polls—turns casual scrolls into potential sales leads. This dynamic space also represents the perfect proving ground for integrating AI-created messages. Social media's double-edged sword lies in how its ease of access can lead to lost opportunities if you aren't fully leveraging it. For car sales professionals, it serves as an extension of the dealership—bridging the gap between traditional sales techniques and the modern consumer journey. With these insights into voicemails, AI, and social media, the path to improving customer engagement and ultimately boosting sales is a journey revolving around choice and adaptation. Whether it's crafting that perfect voicemail, harnessing AI to nurture leads, or mastering the nuance of social media, each of these elements holds the potential to transform your dealership into a powerhouse. The time to act is now, and the tools you need are right at your fingertips.
