From Madison Avenue to Main Street — Benjamin Hawk on Brand Strategy That Actually WorksWhat do BMW, American Express, and small-town coffee shops have in common? They've all benefited from Benjamin Hawk's sharp creative mind and brand-building expertise. In this episode, I sit down with Benjamin Hawk — a seasoned creative strategist, brand whisperer, and self-proclaimed “couples therapist for brands” — to unpack what enterprise brands get right about marketing, and how small businesses can apply the same principles to scale without the bloat.With 20+ years in the advertising world, Ben has worked with everyone from global giants like Verizon and Mini to solo entrepreneurs trying to turn passion into profit. His advice is grounded, clear-eyed, and full of the kind of practical wisdom you wish more marketing gurus gave.We cover:The #1 reason most entrepreneurs sabotage their own growthWhy branding is business hygiene — and what it has to do with deodorantWhat big brands know about customer experience that small businesses missWhy community and "brand citizenship" matter more than ever post-COVIDHow to do more with less — and why your strategy needs to start before your ad spend

¡Como me gusta este podcast! ¡Como me gustan estos coches! Excesivos, brutales… sencillamente son, para mí, los coches de competición en circuito más espectaculares de la historia. Fruto de un reglamento poco restrictivo… no como los de ahora… Si conoces los “Silueta” te va a interesar mucho este video, pero si nos los conoces… ¡te va a interesar más! Te lo prometo. Lo primero que hay que hacer, porque quizás alguno no lo sepa, es responder a esta pregunta: ¿Qué es un coche “silueta”? Lo primero que hay que decir es que los “silueta” son coches del entonces llamado Grupo 5, pero no todos los grupo 5 son coches de la categoría “silueta”. Los Grupo 5 nacieron en 1966 e inicialmente eran coches nacidos para la competición. Te pongo algunos ejemplos: Alfa Romeo TT33TT/12, Alpine Renault A442, Ford GT40, Ferrari 512 M/S, Matra Simca MS670 o Porsche 917 por citar unos ejemplos… coches preciosos y que, seguro, merecen otro video para ellos. Pero en 1976 y hasta 1982, época de mi adolescencia y juventud, nace la cuarta y última generación del Grupo 5 y estos son los “silueta”. La FIA creó esta categoría para coches derivados de la calle, pero ampliamente, yo diría que muy ampliamente, modificados. La federación exigía que el capó, parabrisas, puertas completas y techo fueran los mismos que en el coche original. Pero lo demás, incluidos los pasos de rueda y la parte posterior era libre. El motor debía contar con el bloque motor original y en la posición original. Es decir, no podías hacer un 911 con motor delantero, pero sí ponerlo más bajo o más adelantado y prepararlo a fondo, incluso aumentando la cilindrada o añadiendo “turbos” a placer siempre que el bloque fuese original. Lo mismo sucedía con la suspensión, debía ser de igual sistema, pero de diseño y componentes libres. Había exigencias en cuanto a normas de seguridad, pesos mínimos y dimensiones, pero en general las normas eran muy “laxas” y ello dio lugar a verdaderos monstruos de la competición… ¿Qué no te lo crees? Vamos a ver unos cuantos… 1. BMW 3.0 CSL (1972). Uno de los primeros trabajos del departamento M fue la fabricación de un coupé de la serie E9 para ser preparado para competición. 2. Lancia Stratos Turbo (1976). Terminada su etapa en los Rallyes el Stratos tuvo una segunda oportunidad en los circuitos de la mano del reglamento de los silueta… pero no tan exitosa. 3. Chevrolet Corvette Greenwood (1976). He elegido de este modelo la versión denominada “Spirit of Le Mans 1976”. Este coche, como un Ferrari que veremos más adelante, participaba dentro de una categoría de la norteamericana IMSA. 4. Porsche 911-935 (1976). Uno de los “silueta” por excelencia. Y en el caso concreto del 911-935 de nominado “Moby Dick” probablemente el más brutal de todos y al que dedicamos un video completo titulado “Moby Dick: el Porsche Turbo más brutal” que te animo a que lo veas. 5. BMW 320i Turbo (1977). El CSL era demasiado grande y demasiado antiguo así que BMW pensó en un más manejable serie 3, pero eso sí, con turbo y una potencia que según algunas fuentes llegaron a los 900 CV… 6. Ferrari 512 BB LM (1977). Este coche corrió Le Mans encuadrado en la categoría norteamericana IMSA… que fue prohibida en esta prueba en 1983. 7. Toyota Celica LB Turbo (1977). El apoyo de Toyota Alemania al preparador, muy prestigioso, Schnitzer, hizo posible que naciese este modelo que declaraba 560 CV para un peso claramente por debajo de los 900 kg. 8. Ford Capri Turbo Zakspeed (1978). Ford quiso competir en la categoría “hasta 2 litros” del Grupo 5 “siluetas” y para ello encargó al prestigiosos preparados Zakspeed un motor de 1.4 litros para montar en un espectacular y aerodinámico Ford Capri. 9. Lancia Beta Montecarlo Turbo (1979). Lancia tenía una base excelente, como era el coupé Montecarlo con dos plazas y motor central, para crear un silueta destinada al Grupo 5 de la FIA. 10. Mazda RX-7 252i (1979). El grupo 5 “Silueta” tuvo continuidad en Japón una vez acabada su vida en Europa, en el Campeonado del Mundo FIA. Y hubo muchos coches japoneses preparados bajo este reglamento. Conclusión. Siempre digo lo mismo: Los reglamentos actuales son tan estrictos y tan detallados que dejan poco a la imaginación… antes no era así y eso producía coches como estos, como los Grupo B, como los prototipos y Formula 1 de los años 70 y 80.

En este podcast contamos con la colaboración de Airbnb https://www.airbnb.es/. Te voy a contar algunas experiencias que he tenido disfrutando de sus servicios, que seguro te van a dar buenas ideas a la hora de viajar. Primero hicimos el podcast de “Coches que me asustaron”, luego una segunda entrega titulada “Coches que me decepcionaron” y ahora llega la tercera, consecuencia de las anteriores: Coches de los que esperaba poco... ¡y me sorprendieron! Claro está que para bien. Os traigo 10 casos en los que mis “tablas” de periodista no impidieron que los coches me sorprendiesen. Opel Kadett (1984). Este coche me sorprendió. El motor era una delicia, gastaba poco, no poco, ¡muy poco! Corría, era establa, cómodo y de una calidad para mi casi desconocida en un coche de esa categoría. En esos años Opel estaba muy fuerte... no como ahora. Citroën Visa GTi (1985). En esta lista hay 3 Citroën… curioso. El Visa era un coche que convencía, pero no enamoraba… no era esa su función. Pero no fue el caso del GTi. No sé si por la mayor ligereza del Visa, si por sus 30 mm extras de distancia entre ejes o por la puesta a punto, pero este Citroën no resultaba tan dulce como el 205, pero era en mi opinión más eficaz, mucho más barato y me sorprendió… Peugeot 205 GTX (1986). Ya había probado el 205 GTi de 105 CV y me había gustado mucho por su equilibrio entre prestaciones, confort y facilidad de conducción. Pero era un coche carísimo, mucho más que sus rivales. Cuando en 1986 pude probar el GTX con motor 1.6 de 96 CV, me pareció una opción más recomendable que el carísimo GTi con 9 CV más. La estética era muy parecida, el comportamiento similar y resultaba mucho, muchísimo más barato. Fiat Tipo (1988). El Tipo, venía a sustituir al Fiat Ritmo, un coche que conocía muy bien, tanto en versión Fiat como Seat, como Ritmo o como Ronda, prácticamente lo mismo. Un coche, el Ritmo, que no me entusiasmaba mucho si he de ser sincero. Y esperaba que el Tipo fuese mejor… pero no “tanto” mejor. Para comenzar al natural me pareció precioso el diseño conjunto entre I.DE.A Institute (Turín) y el Centro Stile Fiat bajo la dirección del diseñador Ercole Spada. BMW 318i (1989). Hablo de la generación E30. Había probado el 320i con motor 2 litros de 6 cilindros en línea y 125 CV. No era un motor con muchos bajos, pero era “finísimo” y subía de vueltas que daba gusto. También había probado el 318i con motor de 4 cilindros 1.8 y 110 CV. Más equilibrado, por peso, pero de escasa potencia par ser un BMW. Y de repente BMW anuncia si 318is, con el motor de 318, pero con culata de 16 válvulas y 136 CV. R19 16v Cabrio (1991). El R19 ni siquiera en sus versiones más deportivas, era un coche que despertase pasiones por su estética. Y pensé: Pues si a un R19 16v le quitamos el techo y el coche es menos rígido… pues, pero para todo. Fiat Coupé (1993). Este modelo en 1996 llegó a montar el maravilloso motor de 5 cilindros con 20 válvulas y turbo que desarrollaba 220 CV. Pero el que yo probé llevaba el motor del Integrale, pero “rebajado” a 185 CV. El bastidor de este coche, muy afinado, guardaba un “as” en su manga: El uso de autoblocante Fergusson. Audi A3 (1996). Recuerdo que era director de una revista mensual y en el último momento nos llegó la info del Audi A3. Escribí yo mismo, con prisas, el reportaje hecho con fotos e información oficiales y cambiamos la portada poniendo una buena foto de A3 y el titular de “El Golf de Audi” que es la conclusión que saqué leyendo el dossier oficial de la marca. Periodísticamente fue un acierto porque la revista se vendió bien. Pero cuando por fin pude probar el A3 me di cuenta de mi error: Citroën Berlingo (1996). La propuesta de Citroën con el Berlingo parecía muy sensata: Diseñar un coche desde cero pensado en hacer una pequeña furgoneta. Llegó a la redacción y me la llevé esa tarde… después de tres semáforos y apena un kilómetro me enamoré de la Berlingo. Citroën Xsara Picasso (2000). Lo del nombre Picasso, que por cierto no fue nada fácil, me parecía. Pero un nombre bonito no hace mejor a un coche. Pero una vez que lo probe… ¡me pareció genial! De repente la mecánica y bastidas del sencillo Xsara lucia más, la visibilidad era magnifica, el coche amplio y práctico, y además de confortable tenía una estabilidad a prueba de bombas…

In this episode, I talk about Munich, Germany. I knew nothing about it before I went. You'll hear about the 1972 Olympic tragedy, the Michael Jackson memorial, and the BMW museum. Munich is much more than the place where the guy who started WWII got started, the Bayern Munich Futbol/soccer team, and Oktoberfest. P.S.

I saw Jurassic World: Rebirth with Scarlett Johansson, and it was great. We find the silver linings in all of today's headline news stories. A man's BMW rolled off the ramp and smashed his junk. Chuck E. Cheese is creating arcades for adults and "lifelong fans" alike with the launch of Chuck's Arcade. Youth baseball coaches from Illinois got fired after getting naked and running the bases at a tournament in New York. Teacher - Alice Ashton from the UK was swigging from a water bottle full of orange liquid which smelled of alcohol and blaring music from her laptop during the health class. Joey Chestnut dominated Nathan's hotdog eating contest, again. I go through some of his food eating records.

Die Schweizer TX GROUP stellt auf Ende Jahr die einmal hocherfolgreiche Printversion der Pendlerzeitung 20 MINUTEN ein. Warum musste dies so kommen? Wie sieht die Zukunft der rein digitalen Version aus? BMW bewirbt ein komplexes und neuartiges Product Feature – nämlich eine zentrale Steuerungseinheit – mit einem Werbefilm, in dem ein Oktopus die Hauptrolle spielt. Ist das gute Werbung? Gelingt es mit einer Analogie aus dem Tierreich, die Vorteile dieser Innovation verständlich zu machen? Und wenn nicht, reicht es aus, wenn der Spot lediglich «gefällt»? Kult-Regisseur WES ANDERSON dreht vierminütige Werbespots für MONTBLANC - und zwar in seinem typischen Stil, der durch Skurrilität, Humor und 60er Jahre-Flair gekennzeichnet ist. Welchen Beitrag leistet er damit für die Marke Montblanc? Lassen sich so auch jüngere Zielgruppen erreichen?

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Gregor Gimmy, founder of 27pilots, a company dedicated to helping companies build and scale Venture Client units and allows them to benefit from startup innovations faster at large scale and significantly lower cost and risk than traditional corporate venturing methods. On this episode we will explore how this Venture Client model is shaping corporate innovation, the strategic benefits it offers, and how companies can adopt this game-changing approach to stay ahead in a competitive world. KEY TAKEAWAYS When I joined BMW in 2012 I was surprised to find out the small number of startups that it was leveraging to improve its technology landscape across its value chain. I told them that CVCs were investing in 2.8 startups per year. This is not nearly the number needed to solve all the technology challenges that we have, we need more like 100. My initial idea was not to invent a new model but to improve the current one. I was told that if they invested in 50 startups per year they would have around 250 startups in 5 years whose equity state we would have to manage, which is impossible. I concluded that VC isn't scalable, but it didn't solve the problem BMW had either, which was accessing, adopting, and transferring cutting edge technology fast because it's about investment not technology transfer. These are two totally different business processes. We needed to look for a new approach: becoming a Venture Client. Accelerators and CVCs are indirect models – like using a third party's battery technology in the cars you produce – you first make the investment and then do the adoption of the technology. The different in the Venture Client model is cutting out the middleman. If you want to be good at something you need a dedicated unit. If you do it part time it will only work partly. If you make it a department you can have more time you can dedicate to it, you can have a dedicated budget, you have a more solid KPI structure. BEST MOMENTS ‘More than getting into the world of Venture Client Modelling, I invented the world.' ‘A Venture Client is a company that adopts startup technologies through procurement and M&A.' ‘A corporate cannot compete against a good startup like Palantir or Oracle when they were startups.' ‘The Venture Client model will displace Corporate Venture Capital to become the standard of corporate venturing.' ABOUT THE GUEST As captain of the 27pilots endeavour, and the visionary behind the Venture Client model, Gregor GImmy focuses on advancing Venture Client knowledge and growing the global community through 27pilots' corporate clients and academic allies. Gregor is deeply engaged in researching, publishing, and lecturing on the Venture Client model through leading business schools and top business engagements. Gregor is also a frequent speaker at startup-relevant conferences such as Slush, Web Summit, 4YFN and DLD. ABOUT THE HOST Sabine is a corporate strategist turned entrepreneur.

A maggio 2025 l'occupazione in Italia ha toccato un nuovo record storico dal 2004: 24,3 milioni di lavoratori. L'aumento riguarda soprattutto i dipendenti permanenti e gli autonomi, mentre calano i contratti a termine. Rispetto a maggio 2024 ci sono 408mila occupati in più. Crescono anche il tasso di occupazione (62,9%) e quello di disoccupazione (6,5%), mentre scende l'inattività (32,6%). Parallelamente, uno studio Legacoop-Prometeia evidenzia un paradosso strutturale: i lavoratori italiani hanno livelli di istruzione sempre più alti, ma il mercato non premia le competenze in eccesso, retribuite solo al 67% del loro valore. Interviene Francesco Seghezzi, presidente Fondazione ADAPT.Northvolt, addio al sogno europeo delle batterieFallisce Northvolt in Svezia, la startup simbolo della sfida europea alla Cina nel settore batterie per auto elettriche. Lo stabilimento di Skellefteå chiude definitivamente, lasciando a casa oltre 300 lavoratori (su 900) e coinvolgendo in totale più di 5.000 persone. Tra le cause: mancato sostegno pubblico, ritardi produttivi, cancellazione di un ordine BMW da 2 miliardi e la revoca di un maxi-finanziamento da 5 miliardi. L'intero settore europeo è in crisi: altri progetti, come quelli di SVOLT e ACC, sono stati fermati. Resta in piedi solo l'attività di Northvolt in Germania, Polonia e Nord America. Ne parliamo con Stefano Passerini, Helmholtz Institute Ulm.Ania, l'Italia poco protetta, serve un patto con le istituzioniGiovanni Liverani, presidente Ania, propone un “patto per un'Italia protetta” tra pubblico e privato, per rafforzare il sistema socio-economico. L'Italia è sottoassicurata: solo l'1,1% del PIL è destinato a premi assicurativi non auto (contro il 2,6% della media UE). Solo il 7% delle abitazioni e imprese è coperto contro le catastrofi naturali. Liverani chiede più previdenza integrativa e un sistema sanitario potenziato anche tramite assicurazioni. Giorgetti sottolinea come gran parte della spesa sanitaria privata sia “out of pocket”, senza copertura assicurativa. Il commento è di Alessandra Schepisi, Radio 24.

Somehow, someway, the BMW X5 launched a quarter of a century ago. Through four generations of Sports Activity Vehicle, as the brand likes to call it, the X5 has helped push midsize luxury crossovers into the high-demand segment we see today. Celebrating those 25 years, BMW added a limited-edition Silver Anniversary Edition to its lineup. This special edition X5 adds air suspension, a set of 20-inch aluminum wheels that can be wrapped in all-terrain rubber, and a locking rear differential. This special-edition X5 is built on the bones of the '25 BMW X5 xDrive40i, which means it packs a turbocharged 3.0-liter I6 under the hood that sends 375 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque through an eight-speed automatic transmission before hitting the xDrive all-wheel-drive system. On this episode of Quick Spin, Autoweek's Patrick Carone hops behind the wheel of the 2025 BMW xDrive40i Silver Anniversary Edition and puts it through its paces. Carone takes you on a guided tour of the Silver Anniversary Edition X5 and highlights some of its special features before taking you along on a live drive review. Alongside these segments, Carone chats with host Wesley Wren about the BMW X5, this special edition, and more. Closing the show, the pair breaks down why the 2025 BMW X5 Silver Anniversary Edition is special.

Die Elektromobilität galt lange als Heilsversprechen für eine sogenannte „klimafreundliche Zukunft“. Doch in der Autoindustrie mehren sich die Zweifel, ob die milliardenschweren Investitionen in E-Mobilität tatsächlich aufgehen. Im Gespräch von Maximilian Tichy mit dem Motorenexperten Fritz Indra zeichnen sich fundamentale Umbrüche und eine zunehmende Ernüchterung ab – nicht nur bei Kunden, sondern auch in den Chefetagen der Autobauer. Den Startpunkt markiert eine klare Ansage von Claus von Moltke, BMW-Motorenchef: Der Verbrenner bleibt Fundament und Zukunft des Geschäfts. BMW investiert wieder Milliarden in V8-Motoren – besonders für den US-Markt, in dem Kunden elektrische Pick-ups ablehnen. Auch Toyota zweifelt bereits seit langem offen am Elektroauto und setzt auf Hybrid und Wasserstoff. Die übrige Autoindustrie versucht zurückzurudern, weil sich das Elektroauto wirtschaftlich nicht rechnet. Fritz Indra erläutert, warum: E-Autos sind keine Weiterentwicklung vorhandener Modelle, sondern erfordern völlig neue Plattformen – schwerer, teurer und mit begrenzter Alltagstauglichkeit. Die Batterien machen den entscheidenden Kostenfaktor aus. Deren Rohstoffe liegen fast vollständig in chinesischer Hand. Während Europa an politischen Illusionen festhält, haben sich chinesische Hersteller mit globalen Schürfrechten einen Wettbewerbsvorteil verschafft – zu Dumpingpreisen mit Kohlestrom und Kinderarbeit. Europa hat sich laut Indra in eine technologische Sackgasse manövriert. Die Politik hat mit Subventionen ein künstliches Wachstum erzeugt, das nun bröckelt. Ohne staatliche Förderung ist die Attraktivität des E-Autos dahin. Statt der angepeilten 15 Mil-lionen E-Autos bis 2030 in Deutschland erwartet Indra höchstens fünf – eine krachende Verfehlung der Ziele. Auch die deutschen Hersteller scheitern bisher daran, attraktive E-Modelle zu einem konkurrenzfähigen Preis anzubieten. Mercedes etwa entwickelt Moto-ren für seine „Neue Klasse“ in China – und verliert damit seine Kompetenz hierzulande sowie die heimische Zulieferindustrie. Bisher galt der Motorenbau - vor allem der technisch anspruchsvollen Dieselmotoren - als Domäne der deutschen Autoindustrie.

More Perils of Motorcycling by Ms Alanna Gayko Moreperilsofmotorcycling.com Amazon.com 'More Perils of Motorcycling' is the continued story of my motorcycle travels across Australia, New Zealand, and the United States during the previous decade. Other travels include riding two different BMW 650cc motorcycles in the Northern Territory and the Kimberley region in the tip of Western Australia. A highlight of my travels was a month-long ride 'Around Oz 2016' on my reliable 2011 Harley Davidson Blackline motorcycle. This trip was solely undertaken to raise awareness of the rare disease called 'Batten disease'. This is a life-limiting neurodegenerative (a type of dementia) genetic disease, which mostly impacts young children. Join me on my motorcycle travels - some off-road, with many adventures in between.

Comedy-Solo-Show mit Italo-Charme. Der begnadete Geschichtenerzähler Ferruccio Cainero entführt das Publikum in seine chaotische Jugendzeit im norditalienischen Friaul. Da ihm auch das Universum innig vertraut ist, entwickelt sich ein fantastischer, wissenschaftlich fundierter Trip voller Poesie. Wer das Hörspiel am Radio hören will:  Freitag, 27.06.2025, 20.00 Uhr, Radio SRF 1 Wenn Ferruccio Cainero von seiner Jugend in Norditalien erzählt, verwandelt sich seine Heimatstadt Udine unversehens in ein zweites Brescello, das legendäre Städtchen, in dem einst Don Camillo und Peppone zuhause waren. Doch die Welt des jungen Ferruccio dreht sich nicht um Kirche und Rathaus, sondern um die Autowerkstatt «Cosmos». Hierhin zieht es den bald Achtzehnjährigen jeden Abend, ins Reich Tonis, des philosophischen Automechanikers, der Motoren zum Laufen und Träume zum Fliegen bringt. Physik und Poesie verschmelzen auf hinreissende Weise, wenn Ferruccio zusammen mit Tonis jüngerem Bruder Giovanni auf einer alten BMW 750 in die Umlaufbahn schöner «Komädchen» gerät und dort das kosmische «Gesetz der Busengravitation» entdeckt. Ferruccio Cainero ist ein «Sohn des Cosmos», denn Tonis Werkstatt existierte tatsächlich. Und er ist ein wichtiger Vertreter der italienischen Erzählkunst, wie sie unter anderem von Luigi Pirandello geprägt wurde. Der Sizilianer nannte sich in Anlehnung an seinen Geburtsort einen «Sohn des Chaos» und schrieb: «Man hat nie Gelegenheit, sie zu sagen, die Wahrheit, ausser wenn man sie erfindet.» Liveaufnahme aus dem Theater Ticino in Wädenswil vom 8. Februar 2015. ____________________ Mit: Ferruccio Cainero ____________________ Technik: Franz Baumann, Stephan Schneider u. a. – Redaktion: Anina Barandun ____________________ Produktion: SRF 2015 ____________________ Dauer: 50'

From starting as a BMW service valet to now consistently selling 46 cars in a month, Jacob's story proves that success leaves clues—and he's here to share them with you! "Success leaves clues. That's part of the reason why we created this podcast is the mission is to get the information from the people that have it and give it to the people that need." Jacob dives into the essential components that fueled his rise, including CRM systems, product knowledge, and his mastery of data mining and equity mining. Learn how Jacob uses these tools to stay ahead of the curve and drive sales in the competitive high-end automotive market. He also discusses the art of building lasting customer relationships and why mastering proactive outreach is a game-changer. "Average is the enemy. You need to go in there and just try to be the very best you can be." Whether you're new to sales or a seasoned pro, this episode is packed with actionable advice on evolving your approach and never settling for the status quo. Jacob's story is a testament to the power of continual learning and self-improvement, both of which are key to dominating the automotive sales game.

Key Takeaways: ✅ Foundation in CRM and Data Management: Success in sales hinges significantly on mastering customer relationship management systems and leveraging data mining and equity mining tools. ✅ Importance of Product Knowledge: Having an in-depth understanding of automotive products strengthens sales pitches and enhances customer interactions, particularly in high-line vehicle sales. ✅ Strategic Campaigning: Proactively running targeted campaigns, such as those focusing on lease retention and warranty expiration, provides lucrative opportunities for repeat business. ✅ Referral and Customer Relationship Building: Maintaining strong connections with clients leads to higher repeat business and referrals, crucial for sustained sales success. ✅ Continued Learning and Adaptation: Emphasizing a growth mindset and continual self-improvement, Garza illustrates the value of learning from industry leaders to foster success and mentorship within the field.   About Jacob Garza Jacob Daniel Garza wears many hats — literally and figuratively. He's a family-first, high-performance sales professional based in Houston, Texas. A Senior Client Advisor at BMW of West Houston, he's a proud father of three, devoted husband, uncle to many, and doodle dad. Known for always rocking a Houston sports hat — every day, on the showroom floor — Jacob is part of a greater hat community in the Houston area and is a die-hard fan who never misses a big game. He credits the car business with saving his life, but becoming a father gave him purpose.

Jacob leads from the front and lives with intention — building a brand, a legacy, and a life rooted in loyalty, servant leadership, and self-discipline. Ultimately, Jacob challenges listeners to think big and act intentionally — because he is living proof that you are a product of your last 1,000 days. It's never too late to become who you're meant to be. Just don't look up one day and realize that in chasing everything… you lost what matters most.     ​​The Key to Mastering the Car Sales Industry: Insights from the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast Key Takeaways Success in the car sales industry requires mastering product knowledge, understanding customer needs, and building lasting relationships. Innovative use of data mining and equity mining strategies can significantly boost sales figures and personal branding. Achievement and mentorship go hand-in-hand; utilizing personal success to uplift others creates a thriving, sustainable sales environment. Mastering the Automotive Sales Process Within the competitive landscape of automotive sales, many individuals wrestle with prioritizing tasks and managing a burgeoning clientele list. According to Sean V. Bradley, host of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast and an authority in automotive sales, a significant pitfall for many is not mastering prioritization and multitasking. He states, "Most salespeople don't know how to deal with multiple things going on. Most salespeople don't know how to prioritize." Failure to manage these skills effectively leads to common missteps like oversight in client follow-up, resulting in lost sales opportunities. Jacob Garza, a guest on the podcast who has achieved remarkable sales metrics, echoes Bradley's sentiments, emphasizing meticulous CRM management. For Garza, mastery began in the BDC (Business Development Center), where crafting and managing client appointments was vital to his success. "You absolutely need to know your CRM. You need to know how to get the information, how to properly log it," he advises. For those aspiring to excel, particularly in high-pressure sales environments, learning how to track customer interactions and utilizing software efficiently is crucial. CRM platforms not only streamline the sales process but also ensure that no opportunity falls through the cracks, hence proving integral for both seasoned and budding sales professionals. Harnessing the Power of Equity Mining One of the more innovative strategies discussed during the podcast is the use of equity mining. Garza champions this practice, emphasizing its transformative impact on his sales approach. "Equity mining is the biggest one for me," he asserts. For him, focusing on customers that are already engaged with the brand and dealership yields higher conversion rates and larger commissionchecks. By leveraging Automotive Mastermind, a data mining and equity mining tool, Garza proactively engages with clients who have high-paying interest rates or are nearing the end of their warranties and lease terms. He notes, “I'm calling you today to ask you if I can get it off your hands…I would love to offer you top dollar for your car.” This strategic, data-driven outreach can effectively restructure a customer's financial situation in their favor while simultaneously enhancing the dealership's turnover. The implication is clear: tools like Automotive Mastermind not only streamline the identification of viable leads but also foster a mutually beneficial transaction landscape for both dealer and customer. Innovating Through Mentorship and Personal Branding Garza's ambition extends beyond individual success, underscoring the importance of mentorship in paving the road for aspiring sales professionals. By developing the Junior Sales Program, he consciously shares his expertise to uplift others, stating, "I wanted to be the person I needed when I was 22, 23 years old." This program illustrates that achievement in sales can also serve as a catalyst for transformative change within an organization and the industry. Mentorship instills confidence, equips individuals with critical skills, and provides invaluable industry insight—ultimately shaping a dealership that's not only thriving but is also viewed as a beacon of excellence. "You need to optimize your life and optimize your time to do that and only that," Garza admonishes. His approach to personal branding isn't merely about individual accolades; it's intrinsically linked to the success he manifests in others. Future-minded individuals in sales are encouraged to emulate this strategy, as it positions them as thought leaders and valuable mentors, fostering a collaborative, growth-oriented culture. Success in the automotive sales industry is predicated on a mastery of essential skills, innovative use of tools, and a genuine commitment to fostering community within the ranks. Learning to craft and sustain a thriving sales enterprise isn't merely a matter of technique; it's an intricate combination of skill, strategy, and empathetic leadership. The conversation between Sean V. Bradley and Jacob Garza in the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast underscores these points—highlighting not just the how-to of mastering sales, but also why personal excellence and community-building create a legacy of enduring success.     Resources: Podium: Discover how Podium's innovative AI technology can unlock unparalleled efficiency and drive your dealership's sales to new heights.

Higher food prices, economic instability, and other factors have made providing for a family even harder. 1 in 8 households in the U.S. is food insecure. That means these families don't have enough money or resources to buy enough food for everyone in their household. As recently as 2022, 7.3 million children lived in food insecure households. Also, 16.9% of children live in poverty.   SNAP Benefits More than 22 million U.S. households use SNAP benefits to help with food costs, as of April 2023. Sometimes known as “food stamps,” SNAP is the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. People who receive SNAP benefits can use it to buy groceries, seeds, and plants for food. SNAP cannot be used to purchase hot food or household items like cleaning supplies, vitamins, or diapers.   CONNECT WITH Cedric Francis Website: https://www.lead2greatness.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cedricbfrancis X (twitter): https://twitter.com/cedricbfrancis Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leadtogreatness/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cedric-b-francis-a0544037/

Then Sami recaps his thoughts on the 2025 BMW X3 M50, which boasts tons of power and a funky approach to interior design. It has Sami rethinking his entire thought process revolving the German automaker, and the hosts talk more about what that means. Then the guys give a short primer for what to expect in the next few episodes. Thanks for listening!
