In this episode… When looking to buy a car, most buyers love walking into dealerships to see what's for sale, inspect the options, and go for a test drive. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic hit and limited our movement, most customers still want to touch and test drive cars before making a purchase. Kevin Frye and his team at Jeff Wyler Automotive Family recently performed a study on their customer's response to adding a digital retailing tool to their website. The results? Most responded that they would not buy a car 100% online; they would still want to see and touch it. So, the company shifted to find virtual reality solutions to meet their customer's needs and allow them to test drive their preferred cars virtually. Win-win. In this week's episode of the Inside Auto Podcast, Ilana Shabtay and Aharon Horwitz talk to Kevin Frye, the e-Commerce & Marketing Director at Jeff Wyler Automotive Family, about the future of augmented virtual reality in car dealerships. Kevin explains how his company and their customers use virtual reality, using customer feedback to improve business processes, and the 3 major steps the company took to deal with shifts in customer behavior caused by the pandemic.

Cory Murphy is an award-winning scholar and world traveler. He's also a former heroin addict. Born and raised in Pennsylvania, he relocated at the age of 20 to start a new life drug-free.

Donate to The SHAIR Podcast Click Here Cory now works in management at one of the largest corporations in the world. In his free time, he shares his story in hopes of inspiring others who have been affected by addiction, both directly through actual usage and indirectly through dealing with a friend or family member that has struggled with drug abuse. Since he got clean from Heroine Cory put together on a blog what he calls the Murphy Method. Here are a few suggestions from Cory. For many years, I've looked back on my life and reflected on what I did differently from most other addicts to not only get clean, but to have a recovery in such stark contract with that of my friends. I'll certainly delve into this method throughout a series of blog posts, and eventually a book, but in the meantime I can offer a brief summary. Run! Do whatever it takes to get out. Just go. Right now. My first observation was that successful recovery efforts began when a drastic decision was made. It seems to me like many addicts sit on the fence for too long about what exactly to do or wait to make a decision. Recently, my dear friend Sarah passed away from an overdose and on her Facebook wall another one of her close friends posted about how the two of them had been planning to move to Florida to start over a new life. They didn't make it. They didn't make it because they didn't act fast. There just isn't time- when you're gripped by addiction you need to go away, and go right now. How far away? I would recommend having at least an entire state or two between you and your home state, but the further away you go, the better.
