In this episode, we're joined by world-renowned motorcycle instructor and KTM rider Chris Birch for a deep dive into rider technique, mindset, and how modern bikes—and training—are changing the game. Chris challenges the blanket advice that riders should always stand off-road, sharing real-world scenarios where sitting makes more sense. He also breaks down how rider education has evolved, why modern suspension can be a double-edged sword for learning, and how electronic aids may shape the next generation of riders. Whether you're just getting started or looking to fine-tune your skills, this conversation is packed with insights that'll change the way you think about riding.

In this week's episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, hosts Sean V. Bradley and LA Williams, get the secrets to success from special guest Hayden Hicks, President of Jerry Hunt Supercenter.  "I remember walking outside and clenching my knuckles... my kids will never know this life." - Hayden Hicks Hayden shares insights into the remarkable success of his dealership group and the specific strategies for achieving high sales volumes! Hayden discusses his team's approach to vehicle acquisition, customer service, and fostering a strong dealership culture; and emphasizes the importance of a value-driven, community-focused mindset in transforming Jerry Hunt Supercenter into a top destination for car buyers in North Carolina. "I want to out serve, out care, my competition. If you are ignoring AI, you will be left behind" - Hayden Hicks The conversation covers a wide range of topics essential for dealership leadership, including effective desking techniques, the role of lifelong learning, and the use of technology. Hayden articulates the necessity of viewing the dealership's BDC as the new digital showroom, advocating for innovative customer engagement approaches. Emphasizing the power of digital marketing and social media presence, Hayden illustrates how developing robust content strategies can drive customer interest and loyalty, positioning Jerry Hunt Supercenter as a market leader in used car sales!   Key Takeaways: ✅ Vehicle Acquisition Expertise: Hayden Hicks reveals strategies for obtaining inventory, including utilizing a specialized Vehicle Buying Center and leveraging team efforts to secure the best deals. ✅ Servant Leadership: Hayden underscores serving customers and the community, ensuring that all dealership interactions reflect the values of respect and appreciation. ✅ Digital Showroom Approach: The importance of leveraging technology and maintaining a strong BDC presence to meet the evolving needs of modern car buyers. ✅ Content and Social Media Strategy: Developing engaging and informative content to build an audience and drive dealership recognition at local and broader levels. ✅ Continuous Learning and Adaptation: Hayden Hicks prides himself on being a lifelong learner, consistently seeking opportunities to enhance dealership operations and team performance.     About Hayden Hicks Hayden Hicks is the President of Jerry Hunt Supercenter, a top-performing independent dealership group in North Carolina. With a background deeply rooted in the automotive industry, Hayden Hicks advanced through various roles, from sales manager to desk manager, finance director, and general manager, before stepping into his current leadership position. Known for his expertise in desking and strategy in vehicle acquisition, Hayden drives the organization's success with a focus on service excellence and community engagement.       Accelerating Success in Automotive Sales: Insights from the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast Key Takeaways Servant leadership and a focus on community impact can transform the traditional car sales experience, particularly in independent dealerships. Robust CRM and data management are vital to leveraging existing customer relationships and optimizing dealership operations. Harnessing AI and innovative technologies can significantly enhance customer engagement and streamline dealership processes.     A New Approach to Car Sales: The Value of Servant Leadership In the latest episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, Hayden Hicks, President of Jerry Hunt Supercenter, discusses shifting paradigms in independent car dealerships by embracing servant leadership. This approach, which prioritizes the well-being of employees and customers, aims to dismantle the stigma often associated with independent dealerships. Reflecting on his upbringing in the automotive industry, Hayden emphasizes the importance of gratitude and service. "I understand as an independent car dealership that we are already starting from behind in a customer's perspective," he notes. This perspective has led him to inculcate a culture that goes beyond mere transactions. Jerry Hunt Supercenter strives to offer a remarkable customer experience, asserting that purchasing a car is one of the most significant financial undertakings for many. The broader implications of this servant leadership approach are profound. By fostering an environment where employees are motivated to serve and innovate, independent dealerships can dramatically improve customer satisfaction and loyalty. This model not only challenges traditional views but sets a new standard for client-focused service in the automotive industry. CRM and Data Management: Mining Gold in Customer Relations A critical game changer for Jerry Hunt Supercenter has been their strategic use of CRM tools, notably Promax, to enhance customer relations and dealership operations. As Hayden mentions, "We have around 150,000 people in our database… it's like a gold mine." This vast reservoir of data enables the dealership to tap into existing customer relationships effectively and drive repeat business. Hayden acknowledges the importance of a CRM specialist: "We have a person on site that used to work for Promax, now works for us to ensure that we are following in that footsteps of using the CRM 100% correctly." This dedicated focus ensures that the CRM is leveraged to its full potential, optimizing both sales strategies and customer engagement. For dealerships looking to innovate, the lesson here is clear: efficient data management can be the key to unlocking substantial business growth. By understanding and anticipating customer needs through detailed data analysis, dealerships can craft personalized experiences that create lasting loyalty and drive sales. Embracing AI and Technology: Revolutionizing Engagement and Operations The podcast underscores a forward-looking approach to integrating AI and technology into dealership operations. Hayden articulates how Jerry Hunt Supercenter plans to incorporate AI solutions like Podium, emphasizing the critical role of engagement: "We are going to initiate it in the beginning to help our agents interact… until engagement happens." In today's competitive market, AI tools can significantly improve engagement rates, which have traditionally hovered at a mere 6-8% for phone calls. AI's ability to provide instant responses and streamline after-hours interactions can bridge the gap between dealerships and potential buyers, making customer engagement more efficient and impactful. The transformative potential of AI in automotive sales is immense. By embracing these technologies, dealerships can not only improve their responsiveness and customer satisfaction but also gain a competitive edge in an increasingly digital landscape. Jerry Hunt Supercenter: A Vision for the Future Hayden Hicks' leadership philosophy at Jerry Hunt Supercenter offers a detailed blueprint for any dealership aiming for substantial growth and innovation. By nurturing a culture of service, strategically utilizing CRM data, and integrating cutting-edge AI technology, the dealership has carved out a leadership position within the industry. The dealership's commitment to a holistic and forward-thinking business model reflects a dedication to progress and customer-centricity. As Hayden ambitiously states, "Our goal is to have a thousand cars every single month… to continue to serve our customers at a high level." Jerry Hunt Supercenter is not just competing in a challenging market; it's paving the way with innovative practices that emphasize empathy, efficiency, and excellence. For industry leaders and dealerships everywhere, Hayden Hicks' insights offer not just practical strategies but a compelling vision of what the future of car sales can and should look like.       Resources: Podium: Discover how Podium's innovative AI technology can unlock unparalleled efficiency and drive your dealership's sales to new heights.

"Automotive Douchebags" is a greasy, blues-rock anthem calling out the chrome-clad, neon-lit posers of the car world. With a swagger straight out of ZZ Top's heyday and a snarl worthy of early Aerosmith, this track lays down a nasty groove and rips into the ego-fueled antics seen at every intersection, parking lot, and burnout pit. Loud, proud, and hilariously savage, Automotive Douchebags is a must-blast for anyone who's ever rolled their eyes at a souped-up bro-mobile. #BluesRock #ZZTopVibes #CarCulture #GearheadLife #BluesyGroove #RockNRoll #SongRelease #FunnyRockSongs #GuitarDriven #AutomotiveDouchebags #CarMeets #RockAnthem #NewMusic #IndieRock #BluesGuitar "Vader's Slantnose" is a gritty, high-octane rock anthem that mashes up Star Wars swagger with raw car culture. Fueled by crunchy guitar riffs, a pounding beat, and a heavy blues groove, the track paints a vivid picture of Darth Vader cruising the galaxy in a blacked-out Porsche 911 Turbo Slantnose. With lyrics that fuse dark power and turbocharged speed, the song captures the attitude of the Dark Side — cool, relentless, and unstoppable.

With new tariff threats from the Trump administration and rising tensions across key markets, companies and governments alike are scrambling to understand what decoupling—or de-risking—actually looks like in practice. From electronics and apparel to solar panels and electric vehicles, China's role in global production remains formidable. But is it unshakeable? In this special bonus episode, Eric is joined by Agatha Kratz, Juliana Bouchot, and Lauren Piper from the Rhodium Group, whose recent report "China and the Future of Global Supply Chains" offers one of the clearest pictures yet of what's happening on the ground. Together, they explore whether Southeast Asia, India, or Latin America can meaningfully absorb China's manufacturing output—and what the U.S. strategy of sweeping tariffs might mean for inflation, consumers, and the Global South.

As dealerships strive to sell more cars, customer engagement remains the hardest part of the job. The introduction of AI and dedicated call centers has revolutionized how dealerships manage leads and customer interactions. Sean V. Bradley, president of Dealer Synergy, underscores the importance of CRM by stating, "One of the biggest challenges that I keep hearing from dealers across the United States is, man, I don't have enough people." Outsourcing is a game-changer in this context. By expanding their operations across three countries, including Belize and the Philippines, Dealer Synergy leverages skilled agents ensuring no customer is left unattended. This operational efficiency not only addresses the perennial complaint of insufficient staffing but also enhances customer engagement through continuous, round-the-clock service. Such strategies allow dealers to focus more on profitable engagements, rather than scrambling to maintain their current workloads. The advent of AI, especially solutions like Podium's AI BDC, amplifies this strategy. Podium's Jerry provides 24/7 lead conversion powerhouses, engaging customers even after hours. "Meet Jerry Podium's new AI BDC. Jerry is a lead conversion powerhouse designed to respond instantly to every incoming lead," offers a practical glimpse into leveraging technology for superior customer management without direct human intervention. Such integrations streamline processes, ensuring a smooth handover to human staff without disrupting customer interaction.   The Importance of Robust CRM Training and Processes While sophisticated tools and AI are invaluable, the human factor remains central to CRM success. Dealerships often overlook thorough training for their teams, leading to suboptimal use of available technology. Jonathan Schrieber, an automotive veteran and Director of CRM and Technologies at Dealer Synergy Global, emphasizes the need for a sound training structure. "I think the hardest part about this job is just getting customer engagement," he echoes, highlighting how a well-trained staff is instrumental in overcoming this challenge. Schrieber's personal journey from the floor of a dealership to overseeing CRM at an executive level underscores the value of comprehensive training and experienced leadership. His background in every facet of the dealership—from driving a parts truck to handling finance—shows how familiarity with all processes enriches CRM strategy and execution. His insight into the importance of analytics ensures that dealership's sales, service, and parts departments align seamlessly, fostering an environment where CRM is not just a database, but a dynamic tool driving meaningful customer interactions. Training should not simply involve checking off a list. Instead, it requires ongoing commitment from all levels of management. "It's not what you preach, it's what you tolerate," a quote from Extreme Ownership as referenced by Schrieber, encapsulates the idea that CRM proficiency must be embedded in the dealership's culture. Overcoming CRM hesitance requires robust leadership that practices what it preaches, making CRM compliance and training a non-negotiable part of dealership operations.   Elevating CRM from Tool to Cultural Cornerstone The successful execution of CRM strategies stretches beyond technology and tools; it requires a paradigm shift in how dealerships perceive CRM. Sean V. Bradley advocates for viewing CRM as fundamental to dealership operations, not just an optional tool. "Information without application is just information. Information with application equals transformation," he states, urging dealerships to transform data into actionable insights. Transitioning CRM from a supportive tool to an operational cornerstone involves aligning AI, human resources, and backend processes. The trifecta approach—human resources, CRM automation, and AI—ensures all dealership functions operate synergistically. When set up correctly, these elements prevent duplicate efforts and ensure smooth customer interactions. Achieving this integration requires a commitment to cleanliness and optimization of existing CRM processes. As Schrieber advises, "The first step…is just clean up and optimize what you do have first." By eliminating redundancies and enhancing process flows, dealerships can fully leverage AI capabilities, ensuring customer interaction fidelity and real-time engagement. Crafting a future-proof CRM strategy in the automotive industry necessitates a blend of advanced technology, diligent training, and a cultural shift in CRM perception. As experts like Schrieber and Bradley illustrate, converting CRM from a task-driven utility to an integral cultural component is crucial. This ensures not only enhanced customer experiences but also maximizes profitability in an increasingly competitive market. Through embracing technology, fostering comprehensive training, and committing to a culture of accountability, dealerships can thrive in the complex ecosystem of modern automotive sales.     Resources: Podium: Discover how Podium's innovative AI technology can unlock unparalleled efficiency and drive your dealership's sales to new heights.

U.S. President Donald Trump insisted on Monday that he will not back down from his massive tariff campaign that he launched last week and even promised to impose even higher duties on Chinese goods in response to Beijing's 34% tariff retaliation on U.S. imported goods. Kyle Chan, a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton University and author of the High Capacity Substack, joins Eric & Cobus to discuss the impact of the escalating world trade war on developing countries and how China is responding by shifting more manufacturing to the Global South.

Way back in February, thousands of dental technicians gathered in Chicago for the 40th anniversary of LMT Lab Day Chicago. While stationed in the Ivoclar (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us) Ballroom, we got to talk to many wonderful people that make up our industry. We start this episode with a technician that followed his dentist uncle in Mexico and went to dental technician school. Christopher Hernandez soon found himself making sleep apnea devices for years before finding his new home at Clear Choice doing All-on-X cases. Then we welcome back to the podcast, Greg Everett. Last time we talked to Greg, he was with a company that manufactured milling burs. Now he works on the whole mill with his new company Denteon (https://denteon.com/). Specializing in Roland Mills, Greg provides a service to complete rebuild or repair your mill so you can continue to get your monies worth for years longer than expected. We suggest visiting denteon.com if you have any Roland Mills. We wrap up the episode with Ivoclar's own Joe Braxon. Still talking about mills, but this time exclusively with Ivoclar mills. Joe is responsible for the installation, training, and service for all of the PrograMills. Joe talks about his background, finding Ivoclar, and what sets their mills above the rest.

Broadcasting from John Hovis's legendary Hemi Hideout in Brookshire, Texas, we invite listeners into a wonderland of automotive memorabilia, rare Mopar muscle, and glowing neon signs. This special venue has transformed dramatically since opening a decade ago, now serving as both museum and gathering place for car enthusiasts. Today's open house welcomes visitors with breakfast tacos, camaraderie, and the opportunity to support local charities through matched donations.Our automotive journey begins with a fascinating look at the 1971 Plymouth GTX – perhaps the most criminally overlooked muscle car of the Mopar golden era. This sleek fastback with coke-bottle curves arrived just as muscle car mania began cooling, resulting in just 2,900 sales despite its impressive 440 cubic inch V8 engine options. The rarest configuration – just 326 examples with the 440 Plus 6 and four-speed manual – now commands upwards of $166,000 at auction, demonstrating how collectors have finally recognized this hidden gem.We also dive deep into the completely redesigned 2025 Infiniti QX80 Autograph, a luxury behemoth assembled in America that competes directly with Escalade, Navigator, and Grand Wagoneer. Beyond its imposing presence and twin-turbo V6 producing 450 horsepower, this seven-passenger SUV pampers occupants with heated, ventilated, and massaging seats in both first and second rows. At $113,965 fully loaded (yes, including that much-discussed $355 umbrella holder), it represents Infiniti's flagship offering in the increasingly competitive premium SUV space.Whether you're fascinated by forgotten muscle cars, curious about modern luxury SUVs, or simply enjoy immersing yourself in automotive culture, join us for this unique broadcast from one of Texas's most extraordinary automotive destinations.

In Podcast #350, Jessica Ray steps in as host for a vacationing John Davis. Her and the MotorWeek crew have a small constellation of vehicles to talk about, starting with two new entries into Cadillac's all-electric IQ portfolio: the OPTIQ, yes, spelled with an ‘IQ' at the end, and the Escalade IQ. Then we'll shift over to the Honda Civic Si, a name known and loved by many enthusiasts, and one that recently benefited from a model-line refresh. We'll wrap up with an all-new ride from their sister company Acura, the 2025 ADX, which makes their utility lineup bigger…by going smaller. But before that we'll focus our energy into a Lighting Round about lightning-fast EV charging tech and answer a double-header viewer question about using up all that recouped charge.

In this episode, we're joined by Ryan Brutt—aka the Automotive Archaeologist—who's spent the last decade on the road uncovering America's forgotten automotive treasures.

He shares what it's like to chase down legends, the stories behind the cars he uncovers, and why barn finds still capture the imagination of gearheads everywhere.
