    Riding a motorcycle through Laos pushes both nerve and skill—potholes big enough to swallow a car, sudden water crossings, deep mud, and even the possibility of an elephant stepping onto the trail. A team from Rally for Rangers, led by Steve Zuschin, recently tackled these extreme conditions as they crossed Laos to deliver new motorcycles to frontline Rangers. The ride blended rugged, technical adventure motorcycling with a mission that supports the protection of threatened wilderness. Steve talks about why these demanding routes keep pulling him back and what it takes to ride some of the toughest terrain in Southeast Asia.

    Register NOW for the UHY 2026 Annual Automotive Supplier Outlook - click hereSometimes a conversation hits so deeply that it demands a part two , and that's exactly what happened after our episode with MIT's Dr. Bryan Reimer. The response was immediate, and the very first message came from CADIA CEO Cheryl Thompson, who had been quietly diving deep into AI for months. Her reaction captured what so many leaders are feeling right now: excitement, overwhelm, fear, and possibility all at once.This episode brings Cheryl and Bryan together to talk about what AI is really doing inside companies — not the hype, but the human impact. The emotional truth? AI is forcing us to look hard at our culture, our trust levels, and our willingness to unlearn the habits that hold us back. That's where transformation starts.Cheryl shares how AI has changed the way she works, creates, leads, and even manages her daily life. But she's honest about the trap many leaders fall into: using AI to produce more… instead of stepping back to breathe, think, and lead. Bryan brings the research lens, grounding the conversation in what AI can do, what it can't, and how leaders must shift from delegation to collaboration if they want AI to be truly useful.Together they unpack psychological safety, generational differences, the rise of agentic AI, and the cultural tension AI exposes inside legacy automotive. And they remind us that AI will not replace leaders — but leaders who use AI well will absolutely outpace those who don't.This isn't a conversation about technology. It's a conversation about courage, trust, and the future of leadership in an industry that desperately needs to move faster while staying true to its values.Themes Discussed in This EpisodeHow trust and culture determine whether AI succeeds or stallsWhy leaders must collaborate with AI instead of delegating blindlyWhat the Wow, Whoa, Grow framework reveals about human behaviorHow generational differences shape AI adoption and comfort levelsWhy AI in automotive demands unlearning old processes, not just adding toolsThe risk of locking down AI too tightly — and the risk of letting it run wildHow small businesses and startups are using AI to outrun traditional OEMsWatch the Full Video on YouTube - click hereThis episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn more Featured GuestsCheryl Thompson, CEO, CADIACheryl leads the CADIA: Culture Evolved, where she equips organizations to build equitable, high-performing cultures. A former manufacturing engineering leader in the automotive industry, Cheryl is known for her human-centered approach to leadership, her commitment to psychological safety, and her skillful integration of AI into learning and development. She helps teams work smarter, remove friction, and accelerate change by pairing technology with deep emotional awareness.Dr. Bryan Reimer, Research Scientist, MITDr. Bryan Reimer is a Research Scientist at the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics and a founding member of the MIT AgeLab.

    Fogging is something most motorcycle riders just put up with — cracking the visor, wiping it, trying to manage it on the fly. But it's more than an annoyance; it's a visibility problem, and visibility is safety. What many motorcycle riders don't realize is that there are real solutions, not myths or quick roadside fixes, but tools and technologies that actually work when you plan ahead. In this episode, we look at why fogging happens, why helmets struggle with it, and what you can do to prevent it. You'll hear from Jason Eite of VISIN about a heated visor system based on aerospace technology, and from Clinton Smout about the practical approaches riders use every day. If you ride in weather — and eventually we all do — this is one topic that can make your ride safer and far less stressful.

    What truly changed at Le Mans when the 2000s began—and why did teams abandon open cockpits just as speeds stayed sky high? We invited author and photographer John Brooks to walk us through the decade he chronicles in Le Mans: The Official History 2000–2009, and his trackside vantage point delivers a rare blend of technical clarity and human detail. From Audi's R8 and R10 TDI era to Peugeot's blistering 908, we explore how diesel power, aero efficiency, and rule changes made reliability the ultimate performance edge.John pulls back the curtain on the engineering trade-offs that redefined endurance racing: the gains in safety that came with closed cockpits, the pit stop calculations that win 24-hour fights, and the unsung collaboration between European operations and American squads like Champion Racing. He also shares how he inherited the official history project from the legendary Quentin Spurring, why the 2000–2009 window stands on its own, and how writing the story with his own photographs turns a coffee-table book into a time machine.We keep the wrenches turning beyond the track. Jeff breaks down the easiest cars to work on—Toyota Corolla and Camry, Kia Rio, Chevrolet Silverado, Honda Accord, and Mazda MX-5—spotlighting accessible engine bays, abundant parts, and weekend-friendly maintenance. Then we climb into the 2025 Chrysler Pacifica, a thoughtful family hauler with stow-and-go versatility, a smooth 3.6L V6, available AWD, and cabin tech that keeps everyone calm mile after mile.If you're searching for Le Mans history, Audi vs Peugeot, prototype safety, and real-world car advice in one place, you're home.

    Bankrupt subprime retailer Tricolor's 10,000 remaining vehicles may be sold by March 2026 if trustee Anne Burns' motion is approved.Tricolor backup servicer Vervent and vehicle management company Holman will sell all remaining vehicles, if the motion is approved by Judge Michelle Larson. This includes vehicles that may belong to Tricolor's creditors, through third-party auctioneers, according to court documents.The proposal came ahead of former Tricolor Chief Executive Daniel Chu's motion seeking to shore up $15 million in legal defense funds, according to U.S. Bankruptcy Court of the Northern District of Texas Dallas Division court documents. The funds are from insurance payments made by Tricolor before it went bankrupt, according to the documents.Across the subprime auto industry, credit health is declining. Early-stage delinquencies across nonprime securitized auto loans rose 88 basis points year over year and the rate of nonprime securitized loans more than 60 days past due rose 65 basis points YoY in October, according to Kroll Bond Rating Agency's auto loan asset-backed securitization index.Meanwhile, new-vehicle sales were down in five of the 12 regions covered by Federal Reserve banks, according to the most recent edition of the Fed's Beige Book. New-vehicle sales were weighed down by declining consumer demand and EV sales.Automakers offered low APR options and cash-back incentives for Black Friday to stay competitive on rates while balancing affordability concerns. Dealers also expect a short-term dip in wholesale used-vehicle inventory through December as fleet management companies hold onto cars longer.In this episode of “Weekly Wrap,” Auto Finance News Editor Amanda Harris, Senior Associate Editor Truth Headlam and Associate Editor Aidan Bush discuss trends across the subprime auto market, vehicle incentives and Tricolor's Chapter 7 bankruptcy for the week ended Nov. 28.

    A dealership website script shouldn't be the key to your car. Yet that's exactly what one security researcher demonstrated on a DEF CON stage, turning a forgotten corner of a portal into national-level access that could unlock vehicles, view customer data, and send remote commands. We dig into what that means for drivers, dealers, and automakers now that the family SUV doubles as a rolling endpoint connected to clouds, APIs, and third-party tools.We walk through the chain of weak links—subdomains, misconfigured permissions, app integrations—and explain why dealer networks can become the soft underbelly of an automaker's security. Then we turn to the flipside of software-defined cars: when an over-the-air update breaks a feature people rely on. A new Tahoe's built-in garage door opener stopped working post-update, and the finger-pointing that followed shows how support and testing must evolve. Convenience only works when reliability does too.Safety headlines round out the reality check. From a Kia K5 fuel-system fault that can over-pressurize tanks, to airbag inflator issues and wiring harness problems affecting pickups and SUVs, we outline the most pressing recalls and what owners should do next. Along the way, we keep the enthusiast spark alive with a Sold Cars Roundup—proof you can still get into the hobby with a '73 Charger under twenty grand or a clean Barracuda around thirty—plus highlights from a standout student technician competition that signals where the industry is headed.If you care about connected cars, cybersecurity, recalls, and the classic market, this conversation maps the risks and the opportunities with clear takeaways you can act on today.

    What happens when a family heirloom gets a NASCAR heart and a date with a mountain? We brought Richard Tomlin of Apex Auto Works on to share the full story of transforming a 1968 Plymouth Roadrunner into a Pike's Peak contender by setting the classic body over a stretched NASCAR truck chassis and dropping in a Mopar R5 P7 that sings to 9,500 RPM. The road to SEMA almost ended on the shoulder after a tow rig failure, but with help from racers and friends the car made a prime debut and drew a crowd that wanted every detail—how it was built, why it matters, and where it's headed next.We dig into the engineering: cutting and adding four inches to match the B-body wheelbase, aligning the shell, using NASCAR-style ride height adjusters, and balancing street presence with a proper cage, race seats, and belts. Then we climb into the thin-air problem. Pike's Peak starts near 8,000 feet and finishes above 14,000, so we talk mid-altitude tuning targets, power loss on NA engines, and a throwback solution—variable jetting on a carb, with insight from Brad Pink, son of legendary engine builder Ed Pink. The motor has already proved itself on the mountain in a C10, and we break down the expectations for power at altitude versus near sea level.Richard also opens the shop doors: a turbo LS7 Volvo, a refreshed '69 Roadrunner, a twin-turbo LS G-body in paint, and a batch of Miatas, including a Lemons car that a 17-year-old is repairing while learning to wrench. We talk craft, patience, and why “toys” deserve thoughtful timelines. Along the way, we swap stories about Charlotte's NASCAR spectacle—how great facilities make new fans—and preview a spring motorsports festival in Victoria's Riverside Park: a tight, time-attack course through the trees designed for stunning visuals and driver challenge.If you love bold builds, real-world engineering, and the culture that keeps car life vibrant, this one's for you.

    In this powerful conversation on the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, LA Williams and Sean V. Bradley sit down with F&I leader, author, and performance coach Adam Marburger to explore what's really happening inside today's finance departments… and where the industry is headed next! "The days where the F&I department is kind of on their own island are slowly fading." - Adam Marburger Adam brings a fresh, servant-leadership perspective to automotive F&I, sharing key lessons from decades in the business along with insights shaped by years of training, coaching, and martial arts discipline. Together, the trio breaks down the real challenges facing dealerships, the evolving role of F&I managers, and the cultural shifts required to build stronger, more profitable teams. "So the question is, why aren't more F and I managers doing the things that we're talking about now? Why are they not taking more tos? Why are they not getting involved? Why are they not being more present?" - Adam Marburger From leadership to communication, from customer experience to the rise of new technologies, this episode offers a forward-looking discussion that every dealer, manager, and aspiring leader will want to hear…without giving away the strategies you'll discover inside. "Jiu-Jitsu helps with every aspect of life—physically, mentally, spiritually." - Adam Marburger Tune in for a conversation that's equal parts mindset, mastery, and modern automotive leadership!   Key Takeaways: ✅ Evolving Role of F&I Managers: Adam Marburger emphasizes the shift in the F&I role from being strictly transactional to focusing on building customer relationships and trust. ✅ Importance of Servant Leadership: A core theme is the necessity for F&I managers and leaders to adopt a servant leadership mindset, focusing on the needs and growth of their team members. ✅ Continuous Training and Development: Effective onboarding and ongoing training are critical to minimizing mistakes and empowering staff to excel in customer interactions and sales success. ✅ Integration of Technology: Embracing digital tools and AI is vital for future-proofing operations and enhancing customer experience in automotive sales. ✅ Value of Jiu-Jitsu in Leadership: Adam draws parallels between his discipline in martial arts and his professional life, highlighting how the principles of perseverance and strategic thinking apply to business success. About Adam Marburger Adam Marburger is an award-winning automotive leader, author of The Servant-Leading F&I Manager: Leadership Refined, and performance coach dedicated to redefining leadership in the car business. With over two decades of experience, Adam teaches teams how to lead with empathy, emotional intelligence, and purpose. His mission is to help professionals create cultures of excellence through mindset, mentorship, and servant leadership.   Redefining F&I Management: Transformative Leadership in Automotive for 2026 Key Takeaways The evolution of F&I has seen a shift from traditional transactional roles to a more integrated, holistic customer-centric approach driven by effective leadership. Understanding the relationship between technology, proper training, and servant leadership can significantly influence dealership success. The application of martial arts philosophies in business, such as Jiu Jitsu, provides unique insights into persistence and strategic growth in the automotive industry. The Evolving Role of F&I Managers: From Transactional to Transformative The landscape of Finance and Insurance (F&I) in the automotive industry is undergoing a significant transformation. Historically viewed as a transactional role focused on maximizing profits through product sales, the F&I manager's position is increasingly seen as an integral part of a cohesive dealership strategy. According to the conversation between Sean V. Bradley and Adam Marburger, modern F&I managers need to embody "servant leadership," where they prioritize the long-term satisfaction and well-being of customers and employees over immediate financial gain. The adoption of a servant leadership model within F&I suggests a profound cultural shift within the automotive industry. As defined in the transcript, "Servant leadership, it is kind of like everybody talks about it. It's action. It's not words." Marburger emphasizes that successful F&I managers actively assist sales teams, engage with service departments, and contribute to the overall dealership ecosystem. Implementing a servant leadership approach involves concrete actions rather than mere rhetoric. F&I managers need to actively engage with clients and colleagues, fostering an environment where all team members feel valued and supported. It's about "truly connecting with people on a daily basis with one common goal: to make them feel special, to make them feel heard, to make them feel valued, to make them feel safe." The Power of Training and Collaboration in Automotive Retail Training and collaboration emerge as pivotal themes for achieving success in automotive sales. As Marburger suggests, training should go beyond basic knowledge transfer, aiming to create a more integrated network of roles within the dealership. A robust training process allows staff to understand various dealership functions, ultimately improving communication and operational efficiency. "A lot of these conversations are flying, conversations where you might be walking back to the conference room together," Marburger notes, highlighting the importance of informal learning exchanges. For F&I managers, this means not only understanding their product offerings but also becoming well-versed in sales strategies and client management techniques. The ultimate goal is to craft a seamless customer experience where value is consistently delivered. Creating synergy between departments, especially between F&I and sales, is critical. The training should focus on equipping salespeople with the ability to introduce products effectively to clients before entering the F&I office. "Our customers actually enjoy buying if you try not to sell them; they actually buy them," Marburger explains, suggesting a subtle yet powerful shift in the sales approach. Martial Arts Philosophy: Persistence and Strategic Thinking in Business The discussion also explores how martial arts philosophies, particularly Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, can influence business strategies within the automotive industry. Practicing Jiu Jitsu requires perseverance, resilience, and strategic thinking—qualities that translate seamlessly into the demands of automotive sales. Both Bradley and Marburger, as Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belts, draw parallels between their martial arts training and business experiences. Marburger states, "The black belt was one of the few things outside of my daughters being born that did give me a sense of accomplishment because I know what it's like. Like, it was hard." This sentiment reveals the patience and determination required in both fields. Incorporating these philosophies into a dealership's operational ethos can foster a culture of continuous improvement and strategic foresight. Employees can learn to maneuver challenges with the patience and precision demanded on the Jiu Jitsu mat. "It added something. It's like, as most people won't ever get that," says Marburger, acknowledging the rare and valuable perspective that martial arts training offers. Throughout this enlightening dialogue, the future of automotive leadership is painted as a dynamic interplay of servant leadership, comprehensive training, and strategic resilience. No longer confined to traditional roles, F&I managers are encouraged to embrace a broader vision—one that harmonizes various aspects of the dealership to create a superior customer experience. The lessons of martial arts underline the perseverance and strategic acumen necessary to thrive in this evolving landscape, reflecting an industry poised for transformation.     Resources + Our Proud Sponsors: ➼ The Millionaire Car Salesman Facebook Group: Join the #1 Mastermind Group in the Automotive Industry with over 29,000 members worldwide.
