Is there a crisis quietly building in the U.S. auto industry? Car prices surged. Monthly payments exploded. Consumers took on larger loans at higher interest rates—and now we're starting to see signs of stress. In today's episode, we're diving into a great viewer question about the health of the U.S. auto market and, more specifically, the growing concern surrounding auto loan delinquencies and defaults. The numbers deserve attention. U.S. auto loan balances have climbed to roughly $1.7 trillion, while serious delinquencies remain elevated. At the same time, consumers originated a record $211 billion in new auto loans during the second quarter of 2026. So the big question is: Are we looking at normal consumer-credit stress—or the early stages of something much bigger? On today's show, we'll break down: Why auto loans have become increasingly difficult for consumers to afford What rising delinquencies and defaults are telling us How higher interest rates changed the economics of buying a vehicle What happens when borrowers become upside-down on their car loans Whether repossessions could create additional pressure on used-car prices How falling used-car values could ripple through lenders and dealerships Which parts of the auto industry may be most vulnerable Whether this could become a broader problem for the U.S. economy We'll also look at the investment side of the equation. If stress in auto credit continues to build, who gets hurt first? Automakers? Dealerships? Used-car retailers? Banks? Subprime lenders? And perhaps more importantly... Where could the trading opportunities be? One thing is important to keep in perspective: the data doesn't currently prove that we're facing an auto version of the 2008 housing crisis. The New York Fed's latest data shows that the flow of auto loans entering serious delinquency has recently been relatively stable, even though overall stress remains elevated. That's exactly why this topic is so interesting. The warning lights are flashing—but that doesn't necessarily mean the engine is about to blow. We'll separate the social-media hype from the actual numbers and determine just how concerned traders and investors should be. For additional research, check out the New York Fed Household Debt and Credit Report, which tracks auto loans, credit cards, mortgages and consumer delinquencies. Listen now:

Apparently, self-driving cars don't know where they shouldn't park Self-driving cars are proving to be remarkably safe on the road and, so far, have demonstrated a better safety record than human drivers in many situations. However, like all technology, they still lack common sense. They may be able to navigate traffic, but they don't always understand where they can and more importantly, cannot park.   Over the past year and a half or so in Austin, Texas, Waymo's fleet of roughly 300 robotaxis has accumulated nearly $10,000 in parking tickets. While autonomous vehicles are doing well when it comes to following maps and traffic laws, they can become confused in situations that require human judgment. Reports indicate they sometimes struggle to follow directions from first responders, stop in places that block traffic, park in handicap spaces, or fail to recognize tow-away zones.   One notable incident in 2025 involved a Waymo vehicle that stopped on the side of a road in northern Austin while blocking an active railroad crossing. Police reportedly weren't sure how to move the vehicle, so they called a tow truck to remove it. There have also been reports of Waymo vehicles stopping in front of parking garage entrances and parking lot access points for no obvious reason, preventing other drivers from entering or exiting.   These issues will likely be resolved as the technology improves. Still, they highlight an important limitation. These robotaxis can process enormous amounts of data and make incredibly complex driving decisions, but it doesn't possess the instinctive common sense that people rely on everyday. For now, that's one area where humans still have an advantage over machines.   Why Interest Rates Could Stay Higher Than Many Expect One of the biggest debates in financial markets today is where interest rates are heading. While recessions can temporarily push yields lower, there are several long-term structural reasons why interest rates may remain elevated compared to what investors became accustomed to after the 2008 financial crisis.   The first and perhaps most important issue is the federal government's fiscal position. U.S. federal debt has climbed to roughly $40 trillion which is about 120% of GDP, a level that is historically very high outside of major wars or national emergencies. For much of the post-World War II period, debt-to-GDP remained well below current levels before accelerating sharply after the financial crisis and again during the pandemic.   Just as concerning is the federal deficit. The government continues to run annual deficits exceeding 5% of GDP, meaning debt is growing faster than the economy itself. As long as Washington continues borrowing at a pace that exceeds economic growth, the debt burden becomes increasingly difficult to stabilize. More Treasury issuance means investors must absorb a growing supply of government bonds, which can place upward pressure on yields unless demand keeps pace.   Another factor is the Federal Reserve's balance sheet. During the financial crisis and the pandemic, the Fed became one of the largest buyers of Treasury and mortgage-backed securities, helping suppress long-term interest rates through quantitative easing.   While the Fed has begun reducing its holdings, its balance sheet remains enormous by historical standards. Federal Reserve assets of about $6.7 trillion are currently equal to roughly 21% of U.S. GDP. Before the2008-09 financial crisis, the Fed's balance sheet averaged only about 6% of GDP, meaning it remains more than three times larger than its pre-crisis norm. Although assets have declined from the April 2022 peak of approximately $9 trillion, or roughly 35% of GDP, the balance sheet is still exceptionally large compared to history. Another comparison that is troubling is Fed holdings currently amount to about 26.5% of all assets held by U.S. commercial banks versus the norm of about 10% before the financial crisis.   Continuing to shrink the balance sheet would allow private markets to play a larger role in determining interest rates while reducing the Federal Reserve's extraordinary footprint in financial markets. A return toward more normal market functioning would likely mean less artificial downward pressure on long-term yields.   History also provides perspective on where Treasury yields could ultimately settle. Since 1958, the 10-year Treasury yield has averaged roughly 1.92 percentage points above inflation. That is simply a long-run average and there have been periods when the spread exceeded 5 percentage points and others when it turned negative, but it does give some guidance on a normalized level for the 10-year treasury.   When it comes to mortgage rates, they are closely tied to Treasury yields as well. Historically, the spread between the 30-year fixed mortgage rate and the 10-year Treasury yield has generally averaged about 1.5%to 2%, reflecting credit risk, servicing costs, and other factors. Post Covid, this spread did spike to over 3%, but that 1.5% to 2% range seems to be pretty consistent going back to 1990. If Treasury yields remain structurally higher because of persistent deficits, elevated debt levels, and a still-large Federal Reserve balance sheet, mortgage rates could also remain above the exceptionally low levels many homeowners became accustomed to.   None of this means rates cannot decline during economic slowdowns or recessions. They almost certainly will at times. But investors expecting a permanent return to near-zero interest rates may be overlooking the structural forces now shaping the bond market. High government debt, persistent fiscal deficits, continued Treasury issuance, and a Federal Reserve balance sheet that remains well above historical norms all suggest that the era of ultra-cheap money may prove to be the exception rather than the rule.   Should You Buy or Sell That Luxury Brand Stock? Luxury brand stocks that sell high-end handbags, jewelry, and other luxury goods have been in a bear market for the past couple of years. After aggressively raising prices during and immediately following the pandemic, it appears the buying frenzy for luxury products has faded.   There may be one bright spot beginning to emerge, particularly in the jewelry category. Richemont, the parent company of Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Buccellati, reported a 24% year-over-year increase in jewelry sales in its most recent quarter. If you don't recognize those brands, don't worry, the important takeaway is that they sell some of the world's most expensive jewelry, and demand in that segment has remained surprisingly resilient.   Luxury giants, including Kering, the parent company of Gucci, as well as LVMH and Hermès have suffered steep declines over the past few years. LVMH has fallen from more than $900 per share to around $500, while Kering has dropped from over $900 to roughly $300 as Gucci's sales have struggled.   During the pandemic, some consumers even purchased luxury handbags with the expectation that they would appreciate in value. While a handful of extremely rare bags have done just that, those cases are the exception rather than the rule. If you're buying a luxury handbag, buy it because you genuinely enjoy it not because you expect it to become a profitable investment.   The same caution applies to the stocks. My view is that the surge in luxury spending during and immediately after COVID was fueled by an extraordinary amount of stimulus money and excess savings, creating an artificial spike in demand. As those conditions have faded, so has the appetite for expensive discretionary purchases.   While there may be periods of recovery, especially in categories like jewelry, I don't expect the luxury sector to return to the pandemic-era buying frenzy anytime soon. That makes me cautious on both the products themselves as investments and the stocks that depend on that level of consumer spending.   The Paramount deal just can't stay out of the news Next month will mark one year since Paramount began its pursuit of Warner Bros. What started as an unsolicited bid eventually turned into an agreement for Paramount to acquire Warner Bros. in an $81 billion deal. However, the transaction continues to face significant legal hurdles.   Several state attorneys general have raised antitrust concerns, forcing the deal into the court system. In the meantime, Paramount has agreed to pay a $650 million per quarter "ticking fee" if the deal is not completed by September 30. On top of that, the company's legal bill has already reached roughly $160 million, and the case hasn't even gone to trial yet.   The costs only increase from here. If the merger is ultimately blocked or isn't completed by June 2027, Paramount would owe Warner Bros. a staggering $7 billion breakup fee.   Paramount is pushing to begin the trial by November 4, but the attorneys general seeking to block the deal want to delay proceedings until next April. Paramount does have some leverage, as it has major operations and thousands of employees in states such as California, New York, and New Jersey. Even California Governor Gavin Newsom has encouraged the state's attorney general to find an out-of-court resolution.   For investors, this has been an extremely nerve-racking situation. Paramount shares are currently trading around $8, down roughly 41% year to date after starting the year near $13.40 per share. Every delay adds more uncertainty, more legal expenses, and more ticking fees.   There are also strong incentives for the companies involved to get the deal across the finish line. Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav could reportedly receive compensation worth more than $800 million if the transaction is completed, giving him a significant financial incentive to see the merger succeed.   This will likely continue to test shareholders' patience. As the legal battle drags on, the legal bills and ticking fees continue to pile up. It makes me wonder: Is this deal really worth it for David Ellison and Paramount?   Should U.S. Car Makers Like Ford and General Motors Diversify Their Businesses? It's no secret that the auto industry is highly cyclical, with periods of strong demand followed by inevitable slowdowns. Right now, both Ford and General Motors are generating significant cash flow and posting solid earnings despite paying billions of dollars in tariff costs and writing off substantial losses from their electric vehicle investments. But the question investors should be asking is: when does the party end?   One concern is affordability. New vehicle prices continue to rise, making it increasingly difficult for many consumers, especially younger buyers, to purchase a car. At the same time, younger generations simply don't seem as excited about getting behind the wheel as previous generations were.   The numbers are striking. Today, only about 25% of 16-year-olds have a driver's license, roughly half the percentage from 1980, when about 50% were licensed. Even among 18-year-olds, only around 60% have a driver's license today, compared with roughly 80% nearly five decades ago. Ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft have made it easier for young adults to pay for transportation rather than own a vehicle themselves. I also can't help but wonder how that's changed the dating scene compared with past generations.   The auto industry has faced this type of challenge before. During the 1980s, both Ford and General Motors spent billions of dollars diversifying into financial services and defense businesses. Meanwhile, Toyota stayed focused on building reliable, high-quality vehicles that consumers wanted to buy. While Detroit was chasing diversification, Toyota was steadily gaining market share with better products.   I hope today's management teams remember that lesson. Auto manufacturing will always be cyclical, and no business grows every single year. The best long-term strategy may be to focus on building vehicles that customers genuinely want rather than chasing growth in unrelated industries.   That said, there are signs that history could be repeating itself. Ford recently announced Ford Energy, a grid-scale battery storage business, while General Motors continues expanding its military vehicle business and is working with Lockheed Martin on defense-related technologies. These ventures could prove successful, but investors should hope management doesn't lose sight of its core business.   History has shown that the companies producing the best vehicles over the long run are usually the ones that create the most value for shareholders.   A Weak Jobs Report, But There Were a Few Bright Spots There is no sugarcoating it, today's jobs report was weaker than expected and adds to the evidence that the labor market is continuing to cool. Total nonfarm payroll employment fell by 23,000 jobs in the month and May and June saw a combined negative revision of 103,000 jobs. May was revised from 129,000 to 66,000 and June was revised from 57,000 to 20,000.   Even though the report was softer than anticipated, the headline payroll number doesn't tell the entire story. A meaningful portion of the weakness came from government employment as it fell by 53,000 jobs in the month. Local government education jobs were particularly weak with a decline of 50,000 jobs as they can be volatile during the summer because of seasonal adjustments.   There also appear to be temporary distortions related to the FIFA World Cup, which likely shifted hiring patterns. Leisure and hospitality showed a decline of 40,000 jobs and retail trade declined by 19,000 jobs. Those factors don't erase the weakness, but they do suggest the private sector wasn't quite as soft as the headline number implies.   There were still several areas of strength in the report worth highlighting. Healthcare remained a key driver of payroll growth, adding 22,000 jobs. While that was below its 12-month average of 36,000, it continues to be one of the strongest and most consistent sources of job creation. Construction also posted a solid gain, with payrolls increasing by 22,000, suggesting that demand in the sector remains resilient despite elevated interest rates and ongoing affordability challenges.   The unemployment rate remained one of the stronger aspects of the report, falling to 4.1%. By historical standards, that still reflects a relatively healthy labor market. However, there is an important caveat. The labor force participation rate declined again, meaning fewer Americans were either working or actively looking for work.   The participation rate fell to 61.4%, its lowest level in more than five years and, excluding the Covid pandemic, the lowest reading in roughly 50 years. Likewise, the employment-to-population ratio slipped to 58.9%, its lowest level since May 2014. A declining participation rate can make the unemployment rate appear stronger than it actually is because people who stop looking for work are no longer counted as unemployed.   One positive development was wage inflation. Average hourly earnings continued to moderate, with annual wage growth slowing to roughly 3.2%. That's much closer to a pace consistent with the Federal Reserve's inflation target and suggests wage pressures are continuing to ease without collapsing. Slower wage growth should help reduce inflationary pressures while still allowing workers to see income gains.   The next few monthly reports will be important. If private-sector hiring continues to weaken and participation keeps falling, concerns about the broader economy will likely increase. But if today's weakness proves to be exaggerated by temporary factors, the labor market may still be on track for a gradual slowdown rather than a sharp deterioration.   Financial Planning: Understanding Net Unrealized Appreciation (NUA) Employees who have built up significant company stock inside their 401(k) may have a valuable tax planning opportunity called Net Unrealized Appreciation (NUA). NUA allows retirees to move company stock from their retirement plan into a brokerage account and receive long-term capital gains treatment on the stock's growth instead of paying higher ordinary income tax rates. The benefit of NUA can be significant for employees who purchased company stock at a low cost and saw it grow substantially over time. However, the decision involves a tradeoff: the stock's original cost basis becomes taxable as ordinary income in the year of distribution in exchange for the benefit of receiving long-term capital gains treatment on the appreciation when shares are eventually sold. If the cost basis is too large, the upfront tax liability may outweigh the potential tax savings, and keeping the stock inside a retirement account and paying ordinary income taxes on future withdrawals may be the better strategy.

The AI is now breaking out of its containment. Should we be afraid? Boy, it's almost like Hollywood predicted this! Our worst fears about AI have come true, with OpenAI saying its new ChatGPT model managed to connect to the internet and hack into another AI company's servers. It was meant to be contained, it was not meant be connected to the internet, but it found a way through. These new models are so good, they're finding vulnerabilities and exploiting them all on their own to achieve a goal. JPMorgan Chase's CEO Jamie Diamond was one of the people briefed into Anthropic's powerful model, and said this week that we need to slow things down. He said widespread access to Mythos could create risks comparable to "giving ballistic missiles to individuals". He also revealed that some of the bank's departments have cut 30-40 percent of headcount and moved them to be AI powered. He thinks the claims of mass layoffs because of AI are unfounded but that while jobs have been lost, jobs have also been created.

A New York Times deep dive ties the rise of huge pickups and SUVs to pedestrian deaths, spotlighting poor visibility and high hoods that “punt” people into a run-over path, while lawmakers push the Pedestrian Protection Act to force tougher federal scrutiny and consumer ratings. Automakers deflect toward road design and hype pedestrian-braking tech even as industry fights related rules. A fatal high-speed Tesla crash raises questions about driver-assist overrides, data transparency, and whether automation breeds complacency. A peer-reviewed argument says “edge cases” are inevitable in AI cars because testing every failure combination is impossible. Meanwhile: Waymo recalls, GM revives autonomy ambitions, and Ford unleashes a blizzard of recalls—many fixing earlier failed fixes.Support the show!https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/06/21/us/trucks-suv-pedestrian-crashes.htmlhttps://scanlon.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2028https://gmauthority.com/blog/2026/06/increased-pickup-and-suv-size-blamed-for-rising-pedestrian-fatalities/https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/21/us/tesla-autopilot-crash-texas.htmlhttps://electrek.co/2026/06/23/tesla-fsd-katy-crash-driver-pedal/https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/us-senators-ask-review-teslas-full-self-driving-safety-data-citing-reuters-2026-06-16/https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/10/waymo-says-it-built-a-better-benchmark-for-comparing-robotaxis-to-humans/https://thenextweb.com/news/gm-autonomous-driving-robotaxi-sterling-anderson-super-cruisehttps://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2026/RCLRPT-26E035-7637.pdfhttps://www.usatoday.com/story/cars/recalls/2026/06/20/car-recall-leaders-2026-ford-stellantis/90611355007/More recalls on the website.

This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.volts.wtf/subscribeIn this episode, I talk with GM Energy executive Aseem Kapur about General Motors' move into bidirectional EV charging and home energy management. We dig into the practicalities of turning hundreds of thousands of EVs into mobile backup generators, how to navigate a patchwork of 4,000 different utilities, and what it takes to get everyday consumers to see their cars as grid assets.

Four stories today — all connected to your NIO positionand the broader Chinese EV investment thesis.William Li spoke at the China Auto Chongqing Summit onJune 13th and said something most CEOs would never saypublicly. China's domestic auto retail sales declined19.5% year over year in the first five months of 2026.Early June accelerated to down 22%. The full year couldfall 15-20%. He called this the most brutal competitiveenvironment he's faced since entering the industry.Then he reaffirmed NIO will grow 40-50% this year anyway.That's not a contradiction. China's passenger vehicleownership has reached 370 million units — the market hasshifted from growth to replacement demand. Saturatedmarkets reward brands with real differentiation andpunish brands that competed on price alone. NIO spent68.8 billion yuan on R&D and 20 billion yuan on chargingand battery swap infrastructure. The ES8 is number onelarge SUV in China for six consecutive months. The ES9has a 17-week queue. The Firefly outsells Mini and Smartcombined. NIO designed itself for this exact moment.From the Chinese internet — are American automakersisolating themselves from the world? Chinese EVs face102.5% tariffs in the US but are winning Canada, Europe,Southeast Asia, and the Middle East simultaneously.China and Canada just agreed to allow 49,000 Chinesevehicles in at reduced tariffs. The US consumer is beingpriced out of the world's most competitively priced EVs.The security arguments are real — but so is the marketoutcome. US auto faces higher costs and fewer globalopportunities while Chinese brands expand everywhere else.The Pentagon added NIO to its Chinese military companieslist on June 9th. NIO called it unjustified and threatenedlegal action. This is not a sanctions list and does notrestrict trading of NIO securities. Some institutionalmandates force selling — that's real but finite pressure.18 analysts have buy ratings. The average price targetimplies 27% upside. NIO's AGM is June 24th — nine daysfrom now. That's the meeting that actually matters.China's NEV penetration rate hit 62.9% in May. Purebattery electric vehicles were 42.2% of all new car sales.William Li said the transition is irreversible. Six outof ten new cars sold in China are electric or hybrid.That's not a trend anymore. That's a completed transition.NIO is built for the world that already exists.

WWJ auto analyst John McElroy reports Stellantis had been spending about $12 billion on capital expenditures each year, so the automaker will be saving billions under their new $70 billion investment proposal.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1330: Carvana keeps its growth streak alive with record sales and profits, automakers book billions in tariff refunds (on paper), and AI is forcing retail media to evolve from impressions to real, measurable outcomes.Carvana is back in the fast lane, posting another record-breaking quarter with massive sales growth and strong profits. The online retailer continues to scale, signaling confidence in its long-term used car dominance.Carvana sold 187,393 vehicles in Q1 2026, up 40% year-over-year and marking its sixth straight quarter of 40%+ growth.Revenue jumped to $6.43B with net income hitting $405M, beating analyst expectations across the board.The company is expanding capacity, integrating ADESA sites, and building toward 1.5M annual unit capability—with room to reach 3M.Carvana expects continued growth in Q2, assuming stable market conditions and momentum holds.“We are continuing to hit records… and scale a business of Carvana's complexity at high speed,” said CEO Ernie Garcia.Automakers are seeing a short-term earnings lift from expected U.S. tariff refunds—but the cash isn't in hand yet, and the optics could get tricky. As billions in reimbursements loom, companies are balancing accounting wins with political uncertainty.Ford, GM, Mercedes, and Stellantis booked roughly $2.3B in expected tariff refunds, boosting Q1 profits on paper.Ford alone expects $1.3B back, GM about $500M, tied to overturned tariffs under IEEPA.Automakers stress the cash hasn't arrived yet—so it's not counted as free cash flow.The refund process could take months, adding uncertainty to already complex financial planning.The overturned IEEPA tariffs are just one piece—automakers still face ongoing import taxes on steel, aluminum, and vehicles and parts from Mexico, Canada, and beyond.As AI agents begin browsing, buying, and acting on behalf of users, Cloudflare says the internet isn't fully prepared. A new push for “agent readiness” could reshape how businesses structure sites, data, and digital experiences.Cloudflare warns most websites are built for humans—not AI agents that search, decide, and transact automatically.“Agent readiness” means structuring sites so AI can easily access, interpret, and act on information.This includes better APIs, structured data, and permissions for what agents can or can't do.Businesses may need to rethink UX entirely—designing for machines as much as for people.“The web is being rebuilt for agents,” Cloudflare suggests, signaling a major shift in how digital commerce will operate.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/

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1327: Dealers lose service share to quick lubes, EVs prove stronger range retention, and Chinese vehicles gain global credibility at the Beijing Auto Show.Dealership service lanes are losing ground as quick lube shops quietly gain share in 2025. New data shows fewer transactions and shrinking revenue for dealers, with pricing strategy emerging as the key battleground in keeping service customers loyal.The study analyzes credit and debit transactions across all service channels including dealerships, independents, quick lubes, and tire chains.Overall service transaction dollars fell 8.3 percent, but dealers declined faster at 11 percent.Dealership service transactions dropped 13 percent year over year, the steepest decline among all segments tracked.Quick lube shops gained market share while raising prices more slowly than dealerships, attracting cost-conscious customers.Even with free OEM-paid maintenance, dealers are struggling to retain customers in the critical first two years of ownership.“The quick lubes are what everybody should be worried about,” said Ducker Carlisle's Nate Chenenko.Electric vehicle range isn't fading the way many buyers fear. New data from over a billion miles of driving shows modern EVs are holding onto their range far better than expected, thanks to both improving battery tech and smarter software.Recurrent data shows EVs retain about 97% of range after three years and 95% after five years of ownership.The study is based on real-world driving data, factoring in climate, usage, and battery age, not just EPA estimates.About 68% of 2023 model-year EVs are still exceeding their original EPA range today.Automakers are offsetting degradation with OTA updates and built-in battery buffers that unlock over time.At the Beijing Auto Show, American YouTuber Ethan Robertson of Wheelsboy is giving global audiences a firsthand look at Chinese EVs, helping shift perception from “cheap copycats” to serious innovation leaders.Robertson led international visitors through the Beijing Auto Show, showcasing China's latest EVs and tech-forward designs.Perception has shifted dramatically, with Chinese brands now recognized for advances in batteries, software, and charging.Attendees highlighted futuristic interiors and features, calling the vehicles a “new generation” of driving experience.Competitive pricing remains a major disruptor, with fully loaded EVs around $30,000 undercutting U.S. options.“Our comment section is full of people saying, ‘I can't believe the government won't allow them to sell this car in my country,'” said Robertson.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/
