This episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn more Watch the full video on YouTube - click hereThe auto industry is at a crossroads. Legacy automakers have poured billions into electric vehicles but are still trying to catch up. Why? Because breaking free from the systems built for gas-powered cars isn't easy.In this episode, Mike Colias, the Wall Street Journal's deputy bureau chief for autos, joins Jan Griffiths to talk about the messy reality of the EV transition. Drawing from his book Inevitable: Inside the Messy, Unstoppable Transition to Electric Vehicles, they dive into why legacy automakers continue to struggle, what's really slowing things down, and how culture—not just technology—is the real battle.In 2022, Ford executives gathered in a nearly empty warehouse, staring at two cars: a Mustang Mach-E and a Tesla Model 3. It wasn't just a teardown—it was an autopsy. As they examined the differences, it became clear: Tesla was years ahead in design efficiency, cost-cutting, and scale, while Ford's EV was still burdened by old-school engineering.This wasn't just a Ford problem—it was an industry-wide issue. GM had glimpses of an EV future with the Volt, but its rigid structure forced compromises. Meanwhile, Tesla and Chinese automakers moved fast, unburdened by legacy processes and cultures resistant to change.But the real problem isn't just technology—it's culture. The systems that perfected combustion engine manufacturing are now roadblocks to innovation in the EV era, and the old ways of working simply don't translate to EV success.So, what happens next? With China producing high-quality, affordable EVs at an unprecedented pace and global competition intensifying, automakers can't afford to cling to the past. The shift to EVs is inevitable—but will legacy automakers evolve fast enough to stay in the race?Listen now to get the inside story on the biggest transformation in automotive history!Themes discussed in this episode:The messy and expensive reality of the EV transition for legacy automakersWhy the shift to EVs is inevitable, despite industry resistanceWhy traditional car companies struggle to match Tesla's speed and efficiencyHow legacy automakers' old ways of working are slowing down EV progressHow Chinese automakers are producing cheaper, high-quality EVs at scaleThe growing threat of Chinese EVs and what it means for U.S. automakersHow leadership decisions at Ford, GM, and others shape the future of EVsFeatured guest: Mike ColiasWhat he does: Mike is the deputy bureau chief for autos at The Wall Street Journal, covering the auto industry's shift to EVs, self-driving cars, and emerging technologies. Based in Detroit, he writes and edits stories on Ford, GM, and the challenges facing legacy automakers as they navigate change.He's also the author of Inevitable: Inside the Messy, Unstoppable Transition to Electric Vehicles (2025), a book that examines the EV transition and what it means for all of us.Before WSJ, Mike covered GM at Automotive News and reported on healthcare at Crain's Chicago Business and The Associated Press.Mentioned in this episode:

Few people know the U.S. car industry more intimately than the Wall Street Journal deputy auto editor Mike Colias. His new book, Inevitable, offers an insiders guide into what he sees as our messy, yet unstoppable transition to electric vehicles. In this wide ranging conversation on all things automotive, Colias addresses Trump's recent tariff impacts on the American car industry, the stark contrast between Chinese (50%) and US (10%) EV adoption rates, and China's dominance in battery supply chains and charging infrastructure. Colias explains how Chinese automakers have leapfrogged traditional manufacturers in EV technology, while European makers are caught between regulatory pressures and relentless Chinese competition. He ends with some thoughts about the future of autonomous vehicles which he sees as far less"inevitable" than EVs.Here are the 5 KEEN ON takeaways from our conversation with Colias: * The stark contrast between EV adoption rates globally - China leads with 50% of new car sales being electric, Europe follows at 20-25%, while the US lags at around 10%. This sharp disparity is largely due to China's strategic government support, infrastructure investment, and incentives.* China's dominance in the EV supply chain is comprehensive - from controlling critical minerals (lithium, cobalt, nickel) to processing capabilities and battery production. This gives Chinese manufacturers a significant competitive advantage that Western automakers are struggling to match. It might even point to the superiority of the Chinese state lead innovation model over the US market driven one. * The role of hybrids as a "bridge technology" - Many consumers, particularly in the US, are choosing hybrids as a stepping stone to full EVs, suggesting the transition might be more gradual than initially predicted by US (but not Japanese) automakers who invested heavily in full electric vehicles.* The environmental impact of EVs is more complex than some activists would have us believe - While EVs produce more carbon emissions during manufacturing than gas vehicles, they ultimately result in 30% less emissions over their lifecycle. However, their environmental benefit depends significantly on the source of electricity used to power them.* Trump's new tariffs (as of 2025) are creating significant disruption in the auto industry, particularly affecting the established North American supply chains -While unions support the tariffs for potential job creation, most auto executives view them as harmful to the industry and likely to increase car prices.Mike Colias is the deputy bureau chief for autos, based in The Wall Street Journal's Detroit bureau. His articles explore the auto industry's massive and messy transition to electric vehicles, self-driving cars and other technologies with the potential to reshape how people get around. He writes and edits stories about Ford, GM and other major car companies navigating change, from EVs and in-car tech to tariffs. Mike is also author of the 2025 book: “Inevitable: Inside the Messy, Unstoppable Transition to Electric Vehicles." He joined WSJ from trade publication Automotive News, where he covered GM. Before that, he wrote about health care at Crain's Chicago Business and worked at The Associated Press in Chicago. He graduated from Ohio University with degrees in journalism and business.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

One of the team members to consider on your menopause journey is a preventive cardiologist. While your GP or internist may be ordering annual labs for you, they are not experts in lipidology. Most women will see their cholesterol increase steadily during the menopause transition and not have the proper labs taken to assess their cardiovascular disease risk, which is the leading cause of death among women (and men). That risk increases significantly after menopause. This phase of life brings not only physical and hormonal changes but also heightened vulnerability to heart disease. In this episode, we explore how menopause influences heart health and why it's essential for women to be proactive about their cardiovascular wellness. We discuss the hormonal shifts that affect everything from blood pressure to cholesterol. We will also discuss the impact of family history, and genetics and what labs and tests are crucial for assessing your risk. We discuss the ongoing debate over using estrogen as a tool for heart disease prevention versus statins. Dr. Martha Gulati, MD is a preventive cardiologist with a long, impressive list of accolades. To name a few, she is the Past President of the American Society for Preventive Cardiology, professor of cardiology at the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles, and the associate director of the Barbra Streisand Women's Heart Center. She holds the Anita Dann Friedman Endowed Chair in Women's Cardiovascular Medicine and Research. She is the author of the best-seller, “Saving Women's Hearts”. Her exceptional commitment to studying women and cardiac diseases has won her numerous awards and distinctions, including being named by Crain's Chicago Business as one of Chicago's Top 40 under 40. She was a co-investigator in the Women's Health Initiative (WHI). She has published articles in peer-reviewed publications, including The New England Journal of Medicine, Circulation, and Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). If I continue going on about Dr. Gulati our time will be up!
