In Nazi Billionnaires: The Dark History of Germany's Wealthiest Dynasties (Mariner Books, 2022), journalist David de Jong presents a groundbreaking investigation of how the Nazis helped German tycoons make billions off the horrors of the Third Reich and World War II—and how America allowed them to get away with it. In 1946, Günther Quandt—patriarch of Germany's most iconic industrial empire, a dynasty that today controls BMW—was arrested for suspected Nazi collaboration. Quandt claimed that he had been forced to join the party by his arch-rival, propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, and the courts acquitted him. But Quandt lied. And his heirs, and those of other Nazi billionaires, have only grown wealthier in the generations since, while their reckoning with this dark past remains incomplete at best. Many of them continue to control swaths of the world economy, owning iconic brands whose products blanket the globe. The brutal legacy of the dynasties that dominated Daimler-Benz, cofounded Allianz, and still control Porsche, Volkswagen, and BMW has remained hidden in plain sight—until now. In this landmark work of investigative journalism, David de Jong reveals the true story of how Germany's wealthiest business dynasties amassed untold money and power by abetting the atrocities of the Third Reich. Using a wealth of untapped sources, de Jong shows how these tycoons seized Jewish businesses, procured slave laborers, and ramped up weapons production to equip Hitler's army as Europe burned around them. Most shocking of all, de Jong exposes how America's political expediency enabled these billionaires to get away with their crimes, covering up a bloodstain that defiles the German and global economy to this day. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

On one hand, tariffs are causing significant disruption in the global automotive industry. On the other, the electric vehicle (EV) market continues to surge, seemingly unaffected. According to the latest Q1 2025 data from Rho Motion, 4.1 million EVs were sold globally in Q1 2025—a 29% year-over-year increase compared to Q1 2024. Growth is particularly strong in China (+36%), followed by Europe (+22%) and North America (+16%).To help make sense of these opposing dynamics—and to assess which OEMs are likely to lead or fall behind—Laurent and Gerard have brought in a top-tier expert: Michael J. Dunne. Michael is the CEO of Dunne Insights LLC, a San Diego-based firm specializing in electric vehicles, autonomous driving, and battery supply chains. With over three decades of experience, Michael has held prominent roles including President of General Motors Indonesia and Managing Director of JD Power China. He is also the author of American Wheels, Chinese Roads (2011), and the host of the podcast Driving With Dunne.Key Insights from Our Conversation:China: BYD reigns supreme, followed by legacy brands, tech giants, and emerging players.Japan: Toyota, the shogun of the market, stands tall—while the rest struggle to keep up.Korea: A tale of strong potential under threat.Germany: VW appears stuck in reverse, Mercedes feels increasingly "Chinese," and BMW navigates a narrow path.USA: Stellantis, Ford, and GM—industries in limbo, often described as “zombies.”The Wild Card: Tesla. With Elon at the helm, anything is possible—genius or chaos.Across all regions, we forecast who the likely winners are, who may barely survive, and who seem destined for the dustbin of history.

This episode delves into the psychology behind why people buy. It starts with Joel's recent impulse purchase of a car window smasher, triggered by seeing a flaming BMW, and explores why the most effective marketing sells outcomes, not just features. Joel and Martha discuss what really makes people click "Buy Now", exploring how fear based 'what if' scenarios can drive immediate purchases, even for problems people didn't know they had. They cover why success in sales often starts with making your audience 'problem aware' and focusing on the true issue your product solves.

Los coches actuales son, desde el punto de vista de la seguridad, el confort, el consumo y las emisiones, mejores que los coches de los años 90. Eso es indiscutible. Tan indiscutible como que los coches de los 90 seducían más que los de ahora… ¿cuál es el motivo? Ayer, 28 de abril de 2025, España y Portugal sufrimos un apagón de varias horas. Primero me quedé sin mi pantalla grande, a continuación sin Internet… y cuando acabé con la batería de mi portátil, sin ordenador… y me quedaba por escribir un guion. Y lo hice a pelo, tomando notas en un papel. Le di vueltas a mis notas de posibles ideas y vi este titular, “Coches de los 90 vs. coches de los 20, ¡como hemos cambiado!” Era una idea que me gustaba, pero que nunca veía la oportunidad de escribirla, en el fondo porque es un video muy de opinión, muy personal, más literatura que periodismo. Y pensé: “Pues… ¡ha llegado el momento!” Normas anti polución cada vez más severas, pruebas de choque, sonoridad cada vez más baja, sistemas de protección de peatones y homologaciones para todo, desde el tipo de pantalla a los materiales usados, iluminación, materiales usados para la pintura o los acabados interiores.… un enjambre normativo que necesariamente, el fabricante, tiene que tener en cuenta. En caso contrario, no puede sacar su coche al mercado. Los fabricantes de coches, hoy día, tienen solo tres intereses: Beneficios, beneficios y beneficios. Y esto los lleva a tomar decisiones cortoplacistas, que suponen beneficios a corto plazo, pero hipotecan el futuro. En aras de los beneficios se han impuesto los famosos ahorros de coste y economía de escalas. ¿Y eso que significa? Que muchas empresas que tienen muchas marcas, efectivamente tienen muchas marcas, pero no todos los coches de distintas marcas son distintos. Los ordenadores, a igualdad de datos de “entrada”, te proponen idénticas soluciones de “salida”. A un ordenador le puedes pedir eficacia, rapidez, pero no originalidad ni personalidad¡… sencillamente, porque no la tiene. Para llegar al producto final luego llegan personas y los “retocan”, pienso que a veces incluso con poco acierto y desde luego casi siempre en aspectos secundarios, como faros, pilotos, pilares y otras cosas que no afectan a la estructura. Siempre se dice que la perfección no es de este Mundo. Beethoven era sordo, Mozart un desequilibrado, Cervantes manco, a Blas de Lezo, quizás el mejor militar español de todos los tiempos, le faltaba un ojo, un brazo y una pierna… y así podría seguir. Vamos con un ejemplo del motor y de ahora mismo, con el coche que probablemente tiene más personalidad de la producción mundial: El Porsche 911… ¡un coche que podríamos decir que está “mal hecho”! Un directivo jubilado de una empresa automovilistica fue quien me dijo eso de que los coches de ahora “no tienen alma” y me contó que la empresa en la que él trabajaba, cuando se iba a diseñar un nuevo modelo en el pliego de condiciones que recibía el equipo de ingenieros y diseñadores figuraban argumentos como que tenía que ser un “autentico” modelo de esa marca, tener “aire de familia” con sus antecesores y, clave para ellos, despertar “emociones”. Me voy a detener en esto de las emociones porque cuando voy a una presentación de algún coche eléctrico, SUV o no SUV, oigo mucho ese estribillo de “este coche pretende despertar emociones a su conductor”. Cuando lo pruebo no encuentro esas emociones… ¡me emociona más mi viejo Panda! Fruto de esta forma de abordar las cosas era que los coches, antes, eran diferentes unos de otros. Ni tan siquiera digo más bonitos, digo sencillamente distintos, con personalidad. Los más mayorcitos recordaréis el famoso spot televisivo del Citroën Dyane 6, un coche no precisamente bonito, y en el que se recurría a la personalidad con el slogan “¡Viva la diferencia!” Entonces, ser diferente, era una necesidad. Ahora parece que no. ¿Te gusta conducir? Esta frase que hizo famosa en un anuncio televisivo BMW es una verdadera declaración de intenciones. Estoy preparando un video junto a mis amigos de “CEROaCIEN” que titularé algo así como “cuando los deportivos eran humanos”. ¿De verdad son necesarios 500, 600 o 1.000 CV para que un coche sea deportivo? El primer BMW M3 de 1986 tenía apenas 200 CV y te aseguro que pocos coches hay más divertidos de conducir que este, cierto que solo pesaba unos 1.100 kg. Eran deportivos humanos y sin electrónica, por un lado, porque no se había inventado, pero por otro… es que a lo mejor no la necesitaban… o por lo menos la necesitaban menos que coches de ahora, a veces enormes SUV o Berlinas de muchos cientos de caballos, muchos, muchísimos cientos de kilos y que, sin electrónica, probablemente, serían incluso peligrosos.

BMW ya tiene completamente renovada toda su gama de motos de dos cilindros con el motor bóxer 1300. La que faltaba era la R 1300 RS, la sport turismo que presenta este año unas líneas mucho más compactas y algunas mejoras más que te desvelaremos. Hemos probado la Triumph Tiger Sport 660, una de las trail asfálticas más polivalentes del mercado que, entre otras mejoras, estrena más electrónica y una IMU. Mariano estuvo en la presentación de una nueva generación de discos de freno Galfer. Una de las marcas españolas más prestigiosas del mercado ha mejorado uno de los componentes de la moto más importantes y claves para nuestra seguridad.

What happens when unstoppable determination meets next-level creativity on the sales floor? In this powerhouse episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman podcast, Sean V. Bradley sits down with automotive sales phenom Tiffany Jean Haggerty-Kruzer—a woman who's rewriting the rules and setting new records at her Honda dealership. "Too many people are busy selling the car when they should be busy selling the appointment." — Tiffany Jean Haggerty-Kruzer From bold marketing moves to unexpected customer connection strategies, Tiffany brings an energy and perspective that will challenge everything you think you know about car sales. Her journey is real, raw, and packed with insights dealership professionals can't afford to miss. "When people tell me I can't do something... it makes me want to show everyone that I can do better than everyone else." — Tiffany Jean Haggerty-Kruzer If you're ready to think bigger, sell smarter, and stand out in your market, this episode is your blueprint. Just be warned: it might change the way you sell forever!   Key Takeaways: ✅ Innovative Marketing: Tiffany differentiates herself by using personalized postcards, lottery tickets, and relationship-building tactics to enhance customer engagement and satisfaction. ✅ Networking Strategy: Effective use of social media groups and reciprocal relationships with other local businesses boost her sales and referral network. ✅ Overcoming Challenges: Despite early gender bias, Tiffany's resilience and commitment to excellence propelled her to the top of her field. ✅ Family in Automotive Sales: Tiffany's success has inspired her daughter to follow in her footsteps, building a successful career in car sales. ✅ Focus on Customer Relations: By treating customers as friends and continually fostering these relationships, Tiffany ensures a steady stream of referrals and repeat business.   About Tiffany Jean Haggerty-Kruzer Tiffany Jean Haggerty-Kruzer is a seasoned automotive sales professional with over 23 years of experience in the industry. Starting her career in 2001, Tiffany has demonstrated exceptional skill and resilience, transitioning from selling cars at a Honda dealership, where she is currently the top saleswoman, to becoming a notable figure in the automotive sales community. Known for her ability to sell over 60 cars in a month, Tiffany not only excels in vehicle sales but also in building meaningful customer relationships and inspiring fellow sales professionals. Her daughter, Liana Nikel, is also a talented salesperson in the automotive industry, working with GMC and achieving success early in her career!     The Path to Success: Insightful Lessons from a Female Automotive Trailblazer Key Takeaways: Embrace resilience in a challenging automotive environment, especially as a woman in a male-dominated industry. Harness innovative strategies and technology to maximize efficiency and sales outcomes. Foster invaluable networks and relationships within the industry and community for sustained success. The automotive industry, like many others, is often seen as a male-dominated space. Yet, trailblazers like Tiffany Jean Haggerty-Kruzer have shattered these perceptions, proving that women can excel and redefine success in car sales. This engaging conversation between Sean V. Bradley, LA Williams, and Tiffany reveals insightful themes centered around resilience, innovation, and networking. Each of these themes is crucial for anyone looking to thrive in the automotive sales world.   Resilience Against Industry Challenges Resilience is a recurring theme throughout the transcript. Tiffany's journey in the automotive industry wasn't smooth from the outset. Her initial challenge was during a job interview with a BMW dealership, where her potential was prematurely judged based on her gender. "The manager walked in, saw I was a female, and walked right back out," she reflects, with a sense of triumph over what would have discouraged many. Such prejudices, unfortunately, aren't rare. Many women in various industries face similar biases. Tiffany's story serves as an inspiring testimony that challenges are not roadblocks but stepping stones to success. Her approach is clear: "Pretty funny because that honestly gives me more drive. When people tell me I can't do something…it makes me want to show everyone that I can do better than everyone else." The broader implication is a call for resilience in the face of unfair treatment and stereotypes, advocating for perseverance and persistence. Tiffany's success speaks to those who doubt their capabilities in overcoming industry-specific hurdles and provides a beacon of hope for aspiring female professionals.   Leveraging Innovative Strategies and Technology Innovation, especially in terms of leveraging tools and personal strategies, is crucial for sustained success in the automotive industry. Tiffany illustrates a clear understanding of how standing out requires more than just conventional techniques. She asserts, "I always wanted to be different than everyone else because that's what makes you successful." Her use of handwritten postcards, light-hearted lottery tickets, and the creation of evidence manuals highlights a sophisticated approach to building relationships and enhancing customer engagement. She explains, "People don't like to open up envelopes, you know, too much. So, I really feel that if you have it on a postcard and they get it in the mail, they're going to read it right away." Additionally, there's an emphasis on the integration of technology and automation in streamlining operations. Bradley's advice regarding AI underscores the importance of embracing technological advancements. "I would love to be able to promote your business," Tiffany concurs, signaling an openness to adopting innovative tools that can further accentuate her already effective strategies. Such tools can increase productivity and allow industry professionals to scale their efforts, revealing the potential impact of technology on sales efficiency.   Building Networks for Long-term Success Networking within the industry and broader community is an essential element of Tiffany's success story. Her strategy in creating valuable, sustained relationships lays the foundation for reliable referrals and repeat business. Her community engagement, characterized by distributing business cards with donuts to banks and clothing stores, exemplifies her proactive approach to fostering relationships. "Basically, I have just…one big friendship because they'll know who to call when they need a car," she shares, underscoring the importance of turning customers into long-term allies and advocates. This relational approach allows her to close a significant number of referral-based deals each month and steadily build her reputation. Professionals in the automotive industry can learn from Tiffany's approach to networking. By developing reciprocal relationships, such as with mortgage brokers and real estate agents, sales associates can create a widened network of potential customers and referrers. The broader implication here is the undeniable value of community integration and professional alliances in achieving robust, long-term success. Without limiting herself to traditional norms, Tiffany has utilized a combination of personal initiative, relationship-building, and innovative thinking to redefine success in the automotive world. For emerging and seasoned professionals alike, her approach presents actionable insights: aim for excellence irrespective of prejudice, employ technology to enhance efforts, and cultivate indispensable networks. Through these insights, Tiffany Jean Haggerty-Kruzer not only stands as a model for female empowerment but also as a luminary for all who strive to excel in the automotive sales industry.     Resources: Podium: Discover how Podium's innovative AI technology can unlock unparalleled efficiency and drive your dealership's sales to new heights.

Little orphan Tommy is all grown up and joining the podcast! The gang reconnects with an adult JB Gaynor, best known to BMW fans as little Tommy from Season 6. What was meant to be a one-off guest spot, turned into possibly Eric’s most important story arc in the history of the show, and now it’s time to give JB his flowers. The now scratch golfer shares his memories from set, and how it was much different than working on Frasier. Plus, they revisit his surprise return for Girl Meets World, which apparently features some incredible acting from Danielle.

Jason takes a trip to the new Tire Rack/Discount Tire/America's Tire testing facility in Texas: Treadwell Research Park. In addition to testing grip levels on BMWs and Jeeps on a monstrous wet skid pad, off-road course, rock crawling trail and more, he discovers the many lessons to be learned by carefully studying tire wear data – including how where you live can have a huge impact on how quickly you burn through your tires! === This episode is sponsored by Vyper Industrial — America's #1 rated shop chair, tool carts, and creepers, proudly made here in the US. Visit vyperindustrial.com and use code CARMUDGEON for $50 off. === In this episode, we learn that Tire Rack, America's Tire and Discount Tire are all the same thing! But, more importantly, they now have a giant tire testing facility in Texas: Treadwell Research Park – an expansive property with dirt and mud trails, rock crawling, water crossings, serious grades, an absolutely enormous skid pad (that can be completely submerged in 2 mm of water in no time thanks to a pair of huge reservoirs and some seriously powerful pumps) and even a wet slalom course. Jason experienced all Treadwell had to offer behind the wheel of a 4-door Jeep Wrangler and BMW 330i and reports back. We'll learn that at America's Discount Rack you can get free tire rotations (with tire purchase) and free flat repair (no purchase necessary!). But they don't hand out these services out of the kindness of their tire-loving hearts. It's all part of Treadwell's plan to collect and analyze all kinds of tire wear data to help customers make informed decisions when buying new tires and make better tires. They'll collect information about a tire's make, model, mileage, geographic location and more to find what compounds and tread patterns are best for specific use cases and guide customers to the best choice for their vehicle, driving style, climate, and location. For instance, they have discovered that folks living in twisty, hilly western Pennsylvania go through tires 20% faster than folks living in Nebraska. Derek suggests Treadwell implement a tire wear score so enthusiasts can compare notes and compete for total tire destruction domination. Similar to Treadwell Research Park (and Tire Rack's other testing facility in South Bend, Indiana), Derek had the chance to experience a flooded skid “pan” at the CHP's emergency vehicle operations course (EVOC) training grounds driving in Ford Crown Victorias and Dodge Chargers. Jason Fenske of Engineering Explained has been on a mission to teach the world about the importance of tires, and recently pitted a F80 BMW M3 Competition on mid-grade tires against a diesel Chysler PT Cruiser wearing fresh Continentals. Science ensued. Tires are indeed very important – and while some *coughpirellicough* will grip like no other, they tend to disintegrate in short order (and dramatically so). But they're not all bad – the guys have kind things to say about the Cinturato CN36 and CN12. But the Carmudgeon tire of choice remains Michelins and Vredsteins, which are mounted on everything from Jason's e-Golf, the Van, Jynah, the Ferrari 308, Derek's R129, and even Jake's wife's Crosstrek. The guys will also discuss the Avon CR6ZZ, Trofeos and Cup 2s. Plus the Michelin AS3+ on Jason's Mom's Golf that wore down unusually quickly – this right after he had just replaced some 2-year-old cracking Hankooks with them. Perhaps his mom's regular and sustained driving at 100 mph is to blame… We'll also cover cheap lighting from oh, oh, oh, O'Reilly's, Wagner halogens, and automotive lighting gemstones from Carello and Marchal.

A finales de 1997 se presentó el Clase A, un Mercedes revolucionario por su tamaño, su distribución mecánica y su tracción delantera. Era un coche clave para la marca, que quería crecer hacia arriba con Maybach y hacia abajo con este Clase A. Pero el 21 de octubre de 1997 un alce se cruzó en el camino… y Mercedes tembló. Y a mí me afectó… y mucho. Pero este asunto tuvo consecuencias muy beneficiosas… A Mercedes en esas fechas las cosas les iban bien… pero les podrían ir mejor. Por un lado, su fama de coches Premium de gran calidad era magnifica, pero tras la desaparición en 1993 del 190 gama arrancaba muy arriba, con el Clase C como oferta más asequible… Esto les privaba de competir en el sector de mercado de mayor venta en Europa y además colaboraba al envejecimiento de sus clientes, de alto poder adquisitivo, muy conservadores…. pero que envejecían año a año. Y por otro lado la marca rival de toda la vida de Mercedes, que no es otra que BMW, se había comprado la prestigiosa marca Rolls Royce, para competir con la parte más alta de la gama Mercedes. Y, como hemos dicho, Mercedes quería crecer por arriba y por abajo. Por arriba, lanzaron la desaparecida, pero muy prestigiosa marca Maybach para hacer berlinas de muy alto nivel capaces de competir con Rolls Royce. Pero necesitaban un coche de acceso y llevaban años trabajando en su Clase más asequible, el futuro A. Este modelo era toda una revolución para Mercedes y no solo por ser un tracción delantera, sino porque era muy pequeño para ser un Mercedes, solo 3.575 m de largo, bastante alto, casi 1,60 metros y con línea de monovolumen. El objetivo de conseguir una buena habitabilidad era posible gracias a su motor transversal delantero muy inclinado, lo que hacía que el capó fuese especialmente corto. Ya sabéis que en Europa los países nórdicos siempre han sido muy mirados para los temas de seguridad. Y también sabéis que en la península escandinava abundan los alces, un bicho muy grande, de hasta 1,90 metros de alto en la cruz, la parte delantera del lomo y pesar más de 500 kg. Por eso hacen la llamada Prueba del alce”. Porque ahora nos vamos al Salón de Tokio de 1997, a la presentación del nuevo Maybach, de la mano de Jürgen Hubbert que en esas fechas era el responsable máximo de la División de automóviles de pasajeros y miembro del Consejo de Administración de Mercedes-Benz… en lenguaje coloquial, uno de los jefazos. Lo que sucedió es que con el periodista Robert Collin al volante, de la revista técnica y del motor sueca Teknikens Värld, el novísimo, flamante y sofisticado Mercedes Clase A había volcado cuando se hacía la prueba del alce. Lo malo: El Clase A había volcado y no había superado la prueba del alce. Lo peor: Cuando volcó el coche, iban dentro 5 periodistas… no se produjeron lesiones serias, pero iba a ser imposible ocultarlo. Y lo pésimo: Ese mismo día un modesto Trabant fabricado en la desaparecida Alemania del Este, había pasado sin problemas la misma prueba… toda una humillación. Lo cimientos de Mercedes temblaron… Toda la comitiva de Mercedes volvió apresuradamente a Stuttgart para organizar un “Gabinete de Crisis” por el que desfilaron directivos, ingenieros, técnicos, proveedores como Bosch, de donde vino la parte más importante de la solución e incluso pilotos de Fórmula 1. Mercedes-Benz es mucha Mercedes-Benz y una metedura de pata de este calibre requería una solución drástica, sin reparar en gastos. Como primera medida, se retiraron las primeras 17.000 unidades ya vendidas, para modificarlas. Y se hicieron muchas mejoras. Toda esta crisis me pilló de lleno como responsable de las revistas de coches de la que era, entonces, la editorial más importante de España del sector. Creo que es la única vez en mi vida que recibí presiones de una marca para dar una información… más bien para no darla. A las pocas horas de conocer el famoso vuelco, se presentó en la redacción nada más y nada menos que el presidente y consejero delegado de Mercedes-Benz España, el Sr. Carlos Espinosa de los Monteros, una persona de mucho, muchísimo nivel y a quien admiro mucho… pero que me presionó lo indecible. Poniendo todos de nuestra parte finalmente llegamos a un acuerdo. Contaríamos lo que había pasado, pero diciendo que el coche accidentado no era el que se iba a vender y daríamos nuestra opinión de cómo iba el coche definitivo cuando lo probásemos. Así que muy poco después me desplace a Alemania a probar el Mercedes Clase A con todas las modificaciones citadas. Además de la prueba en carretera e incluso circuito, pude hacer tantas maniobras de esquiva como se me antojaron, incluida la famosa prueba del alce… y os aseguro que el coche respondió a la perfección.

From a teenage pizza-slinging street racer to a professional National Hot Rod Association-winning Pro Stock Motorcycle drag racer, Steve Johnson understands the value of humble beginnings. He also knows exactly how it feels to reach 200 mph in less than 7 seconds. “I always tell everybody it's like hanging on to a bullet after it's been shot out of a gun.”“First to 500” is Johnson's career calling card. “If you go to all the races in the year that the sanctioning body puts on,” he explains to host Mark Long on this episode of the “Driven to Ride” podcast, “and if you do it for 38 years, you'll have 500, too.” That is a competition milestone no other NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle racer has ever reached. In fact, no one has even come close.Rather than focus on his many racing successes, however, Johnson would rather talk about his off-track efforts. A California native who now calls Alabama home, Johnson is big on helping students achieve their goals. To that end, he founded the BAT-man Scholarship Program (“BAT” is an acronym for “Be A Technician”), awarded at high schools and technical colleges across the U.S. Connect with Us:Website: www.driventoridepodcast.comInstagram: www.Instagram.com/driventoridepodcastFacebook: www.facebook.com/driventorideEmail:hello@driventoridepodcast.com

De Amerikaanse economie staat met één been in een recessie. Een krimp in het eerste kwartaal, terwijl er juist op groei was gerekend. Er is recessie-angst op Wall Street en kortstondig zelfs even paniek.Deze aflevering kijken we wat er gebeurt als de Amerikanen in een recessie belanden. Wat betekent dat voor (je) Amerikaanse aandelen? Je hoort ook wie zijn schuld het is. Volgens Trump is het niet zijn schuld, maar de schuld van voorganger Biden.Ook gaat het over de stortvloed aan kwartaalcijfers. Kwakkelende autobouwers (Volkswagen, Mercedes en Stellantis), maar ook Nederlandse beursbedrijven: Adyen. Houdt zich aan z'n beloftes en tóch zijn beleggers ontevreden. Air-France-KLM. Zelfs een partner komt met een waarschuwing, maar de eigenaar van KLM maakt zich geen zorgen. ASMI. Groeit 'gewoon' door, ondanks de handelsoorlog. Met dubbele cijfers! Daar stopt het niet, want we hebben het ook nog over Ebusco.

Overcoming Self-Doubt and Strengthening Self-Belief Through Faith Many purpose-driven individuals—especially women—struggle with self-doubt. Trusting yourself and stepping into your calling can feel overwhelming without the right mindset and spiritual foundation. However, with faith and intentional practices, overcoming self-doubt becomes not only possible—it becomes transformative. Recognize the Root of Self-Doubt Overcoming self-doubt begins with understanding its root. It often takes hold during challenging seasons—when you're stuck in survival mode, simply trying to make it through the day. During these times, confidence feels distant, and dreaming big seems out of reach. Yet even in these moments, you have the power to choose faith. Lean into it. Remember, the Lord has a plan for you—even when your current season feels uncertain. His purpose is unfolding, even in the waiting. Embrace Faith as the Foundation To move forward in your purpose, faith must become your foundation. Trusting in God and believing that He has called and equipped you allows you to walk with courage, not fear. Faith shifts your focus from your limitations to God's limitless power. Joshua 1:9 reminds us, “Be strong and courageous...for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” When you embrace this truth, overcoming self-doubt becomes less about striving and more about surrendering to divine strength and guidance. Cultivate Self-Belief Through Faith Another essential step in overcoming self-doubt is rebuilding your self-belief through the lens of faith. Your fears do not define you—you are who God says you are.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1030: Today we're talking about the real hurdles to moving auto production stateside, catching up with Carlos Ghosn's new life as a leadership coach (and fugitive), and Amazon's surprising new experiment that lets shoppers stray beyond its walls.Show Notes with links:A quarter of U.S. automotive assembly capacity sat unused at the end of 2024, suggesting opportunity amid the backdrop of President Trump's tariffs. However, shifting production to underutilized plants is far more complicated than it sounds.Toyota, BMW, and Honda used over 80% of their U.S. production capacity, leaving little room for more output.Automakers like Stellantis, GM, Ford, and Nissan have more idle capacity but face logistical and investment hurdles.Stellantis' Warren Truck Plant has just 17% utilization but can't quickly absorb new models without major investment, despite being able to build related pickups and SUVs.Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant could theoretically take on new models like the Mustang Mach-E, but even the fastest transition would still take six months to a year to execute.Sam Fiorani of AutoForecast Solutions said: "The rhetoric that moving assembly of vehicles into open spaces is easy and quick is not accurate."Five years after his dramatic escape from Japan, former Nissan and Renault CEO Carlos Ghosn is living a quieter life in Lebanon — but remains an international fugitive still shadowed by legal battles.Ghosn lives in a disputed $20M mansion, running executive bootcamps for midlevel managers at a Lebanese university.Despite legal threats from France and Japan, Lebanon's refusal to extradite its citizens keeps him out of reach.He still denies all accusations, blaming Nissan insiders for orchestrating his downfall to block a deeper Renault-Nissan alliance.Ghosn remains bullish on globalization, calling recent tariff tensions “a joke” against broader interconnected trends.He criticized the post-split struggles of Nissan and Renault: “Nissan is begging for some financial help, and Renault is back to what it was before 1999 — a small European company.”In a surprising pivot from its traditional walled-garden strategy, Amazon is testing a program that lets customers shop directly from third-party brand websites — without leaving its app.Shoppers can either be redirected to brand sites or complete purchases through Amazon's “Buy for Me” checkout feature.Amazon handles payment transfer securely, while shipping, returns, and customer service stay with the brand.The move allows Amazon to collect deeper shopper data, enhancing ad targeting and product recommendations.Industry experts suggest Amazon is trading short-term sales for long-term insights and stronger ad business.Jason Goldberg of Publicis said: “The bigger share of a custoJoin 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/

The rumble of engines and scent of coffee fills the air as we broadcast live from Spindletap Brewery for the fourth annual Hot Rod Tour of Texas. This event has grown from humble beginnings to become a must-attend gathering for automotive enthusiasts across the Lone Star State.Our special feature takes you behind the scenes in Victoria, Texas, where we chat with Street Manager Kate Garcia about the town's remarkable transformation. Once merely a pass-through on the way to Corpus Christi, Victoria has reinvented itself as a destination worth exploring. The historic De Leon Plaza now hosts over 800 events annually, including the unique pairing of hot rods and symphony music that kicks off this tour. "Two demographics you would never think would go together go together like peanut butter and jelly," Garcia explains as classic cars and classical music create an unexpectedly perfect harmony.We dive deep into the 2025 Genesis GV80 Coupe, a luxury vehicle that challenges traditional definitions. Despite having four doors, this fastback SUV carries the "coupe" designation, sparking debate among automotive purists. With 375 horsepower from its twin-turbo 3.5-liter engine and a price tag of $87,780, we explore whether this Korean luxury offering can compete with established European rivals like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Porsche.Our "Motor Minute" reveals fascinating statistics about Texas' booming auto restoration industry – 1,207 shops statewide with Houston alone hosting 247 restoration specialists. We discuss how many of these businesses began as passion projects by individual enthusiasts before growing into established operations, reflecting the enduring love affair between Texans and their vehicles.Whether you're a hot rod enthusiast, luxury car shopper, or simply appreciate the coming together of diverse communities through shared passions, this episode captures the spirit of Texas car culture.

We still need chefs who can make gourmet meals, who have hundred-year-old recipes and it tastes very differently." - Michael Del Monte "AI can't replace your personality. There's three things you can do as an entrepreneur. You can be good, you can be reliable, and you can be fun. And I just don't think AI is fun." - Mark Bone "Every year, or I would say even every six months, you need to be making time for a project that can help you take multiple leaps forward in your career." - Michael Del Monte Guest Links Find The Art of Documentary online Follow The Art of Documentary on Instagram Follow Michael Del Monte on Instagram Follow Mark Andrew Bone on Instagram | YouTube Links Find out more about 10xFILMMAKER   Join the Grow Your Video Business Facebook Group  Follow Ryan Koral on Instagram Follow Grow Your Video Business on Instagram Check out the full show notes

With no food, fuel, or medicine allowed in, humanitarian workers watch helplessly as civilians die under a policy of "voluntary relocation"—a chilling euphemism for ethnic cleansing. 13:10 Christian Zionists Betray Christ: Cheering Gaza's Genocide     Australian writer Caitlin Johnston exposes the shocking betrayal of 30 million Christian Zionists in America, who blindly support Israel's brutal Gaza atrocities, believing it's God's will. Ignoring Jesus's teachings that “my kingdom is not of this world,” these cult-like evangelicals twist Old Testament prophecies to justify starvation and slaughter, bombing child-filled “concentration camp.”         Even pagans recoil at this spiritual bankruptcy! 19:39 Are Christian Zionists Missing Christ as the Pharisees Did?“Christian” leaders like Ken Copeland and John Hagee (who says Jesus didn't come as Messiah and never said he was the Messiah) have exchanged the Kingdom of God for a worldly Zionism.  Like the Pharisees of Jesus' time they want political power and victory and they're whitewashed sepulchres 35:43 LIVE comments from audience 43:33 Mel Gibson: We Need the Truth About 9/11Says we need people of impeccable character to get to the bottom of it.  You mean people like Rudy Giuliani, Howard Lutnick, Gina Haspel? 53:45 US Boasts God-Like Power: Bending Time and Space in a Techno-Babel Takeover! White House tech czar Michael Kratzios stuns the world, claiming the US wields sci-fi tech to manipulate time and space!  He boasts of annihilating distance and supercharging productivity, but is this hyperbole or a chilling reality? With technocrats worshipping innovation as their god, this hubris echoes the Tower of Babel's arrogance 1:02:43 AI Twins: Digital Clones as Personal Assistants or Something Family Can Interact with When Your Gone      A new wave of AI startups is crafting digital twins—eerie replicas that mimic your voice, thoughts, and actions, taking your meetings, answering emails, and even “comforting” loved ones after your death!     Are they trying to replicate Michael Keaton's Multiplicity or Marlon Brando's computer tutor for his son in Superman? 1:31:31 Robot Hype Goes into HyperSpace: Move Fast and Defraud People     OpenAI former employees go public with claims about Sam Altman's character     A Forbes investigation alleges Figure AI's hyped-up robots, promised to revolutionize BMW factories, are exposed as a fraudulent flop, inflating a $40 billion bubble     Nvidia, caught in a trade war, grovels to both the U.S. and China, chasing billions while handing Huawei the AI chip market. 1:48:48 “Singing in the Reign”: Trump's as Unpredictable as the Weather     Trump says we have to weather the storm unleashed by his erratic tariff flip-flops, yet his own campaign merch is made in China.     With prices soaring, orders plummeting, and jobs vanishing, Trump's whimsical trade wars—delayed one day, denied the next—are strangling global commerce.
