You Don't Need Advisor Training | SDR #377

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 21, 2026 57:49

In this episode of Service Drive Revolution, Chris "Bulldog" Collins, Hogi and Adam explain why training advisors before fixing the operating system can make a service drive worse. If advisors sell more work but the shop cannot complete it, repair orders stall, promise times slip, customers become frustrated and advisors quickly stop presenting additional work. Why won't service advisor training fix an underperforming dealership service department? Because weak sales, poor communication, low CSI and declining profitability are often symptoms of broken processes, insufficient shop capacity and inconsistent workflow—not a lack of sales technique. The team breaks down what dealership owners, general managers, fixed operations directors and service managers should examine first: appointment spacing, advisor-to-technician ratios, shop loading, declined work, customer communication, technician efficiency, compensation, financial visibility and one standardized process from appointment through vehicle delivery.

Twist Bioscience (TWST) just had a massive run-up after Anthropic's protein design results put its DNA synthesis platform in the spotlight. Here's what's really driving the stock — and whether it's still a buy.Twist has surged in recent months, fueled by growing demand for AI-enabled drug discovery and a high-profile 8-K disclosure tied to Anthropic's protein design campaign. In this deep dive, we break down Twist's silicon-based DNA synthesis platform, how it differs from traditional synthesis methods, and why manufacturing costs have fallen sharply over the past three years.We cover the two core segments — DNA synthesis and protein solutions versus next-gen sequencing (NGS) — and which one is growing faster. We unpack customer trends across therapeutics, diagnostics, academic/government, and industrial markets, plus the rationale behind spinning off the Atlas Data Storage business. From there, we walk through Twist's fiscal 2026 guidance, free cash flow trajectory, and the dilution risk created by its $200 million and $300 million at-the-market equity offerings. Finally, we run two reverse DCF scenarios to stress-test what the market may be pricing in today, and explain why the valuation still looks rich despite the growth story.Is TWST a buy after this run, or still just a watch-list name?TIMESTAMPS0:00 - Why Twist Bioscience Is Back on Our Radar1:14 - How Twist's Silicon DNA Synthesis Platform Works2:36 - Cost, Waste, and Turnaround Time Improvements3:44 - Segment Breakdown: DNA Synthesis vs. NGS5:00 - Where Growth Is Coming From: Customer Industries6:35 - The Atlas Data Storage Spin-Off Explained7:14 - AI Drug Discovery: Twist's Role in the Pipeline7:50 - The Anthropic 8-K and August's Stock Spike9:20 - FY2026 Guidance, Cash Burn, and Dilution Risk11:15 - Two Reverse DCF Scenarios: What's Priced In?13:14 - Final Take: Buy, Pass, or Watch List?—If you want the reasoning behind more names like this one, Semiconductor Insider covers the process in more depth.

Management cut debt for a second straight quarter and completed a $20B at-the-market equity program. But CapEx surged to $28.5B — though operating cash flow rose to $23.1B, and management said new data center capacity is getting booked quickly and generating positive cash flow.Nick closes by connecting ongoing AI infrastructure spending to broader semiconductor stock volatility — and why our positive market outlook through the end of 2026 stays unchanged.TIMESTAMPS0:00 - Oracle Earnings Setup0:51 - Revenue Growth Snapshot1:35 - Balance Sheet and Debt2:49 - CapEx Surge Explained4:01 - Free Cash Flow Outlook5:06 - CapEx Ratios Peak5:50 - Cloud Growth Drivers8:40 - Portfolio View on Oracle9:32 - Market Theme and CapEx12:04 - Wrap Up and Next Steps—Get 15% off any paid fiscal.ai plan: https://fiscal.ai/csiIf you want the reasoning behind more names like this one, Semiconductor Insider covers the process in more depth.

Procept BioRobotics is down roughly 80% from its 2025 highs but the technology behind its Aquablation system genuinely works. So why won't we put PRCT in our portfolio?Procept (PRCT) has one of the more interesting razor-and-blade models in medtech: sell the Hydros or Aquabeam system, then earn recurring revenue from single-use handpieces used in every Aquablation procedure for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Gross margins run around 65%, Medicare covers the procedure in all 50 states, and the addressable market is roughly 40 million U.S. men — yet the company has never generated positive free cash flow and has cut guidance multiple times over the past year.In this episode, we size the real addressable market bottom-up using system counts and procedure volume, walk through the handpiece-to-procedure ratio that triggered a class-action lawsuit, compare Aquablation to competing BPH therapies like UroLift, Rezum, GreenLight, and traditional TURP, and dig into a foundational IP licensing structure that means Procept doesn't fully own the technology its business is built on. We also run a reverse DCF to see what growth rate the market is actually pricing in — and whether "cheap" is the right word for it.This is a preview of the research format inside Semiconductor Insider, including our new investment thesis checklist dashboard.TIMESTAMPS0:00 - Why PRCT Is Down 80% Despite Working Technology1:30 - How Aquablation Treats an Enlarged Prostate3:00 - Sizing the Real Market: 40 Million Men vs. Bottom-Up Math6:30 - The Business Model: Consumables, Margins, and Recurring Revenue8:00 - The Handpiece-to-Procedure Ratio and the Class Action Lawsuit10:00 - Competitive Landscape: UroLift, GreenLight, TURP, and da Vinci12:30 - Who Actually Pays?

Nvidia's Biggest Acquisition Ever: $12.9B for Hugging Face (Can It Survive Regulators?)

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 10, 2026 15:49

Nvidia just proposed its largest acquisition ever — $12.9 billion for Hugging Face. But regulators in the US, EU, and China may have other plans.Nvidia has announced plans to acquire Hugging Face, the leading open-source repository for AI and machine learning code, in a deal valued at $12.9 billion — technically the largest acquisition in Nvidia's history. In this episode, we break down what Hugging Face actually does, why it matters to Nvidia's broader ecosystem strategy, and how this move fits into Nvidia's history of vertical and horizontal acquisitions, from Mellanox to the failed Arm Holdings bid.We also examine the growing trend of "acquihires" (Enfabrica, Groq, Poolside) and what regulatory scrutiny could mean for this deal specifically, given Hugging Face's large presence in the EU. We draw a direct comparison to Microsoft's 2018 acquisition of GitHub — and how that deal quietly became a distribution funnel for Azure and OpenAI — then ask whether Hugging Face could play a similar role for Nvidia's AI infrastructure business. Finally, we cover Nvidia's revenue segmentation shift, its position versus Broadcom, and why this remains our top semiconductor holding heading into the rest of 2026.TIMESTAMPS0:00 - Nvidia's $12.9B Hugging Face Bombshell1:00 - What Hugging Face Actually Does2:30 - Why Nvidia Wants Developer Distribution4:00 - Nvidia's Acquisition Track Record: Mellanox to Arm5:30 - The Rise of the "Acquihire" (Enfabrica, Groq, Poolside)6:30 - Regulatory Risk: Why This Deal Could Get Blocked8:00 - The Microsoft-GitHub Playbook Comparison11:00 - Nvidia's Revenue Segmentation Shift13:00 - Nvidia vs. Broadcom: Growth Comparison14:00 - Valuation and Final Take for 2026—If you want the reasoning behind more names like this one, Semiconductor Insider covers the process in more depth.

Pure Storage just rebranded to Everpure — and in the same stretch, free cash flow went negative 20% in a single quarter. Here's what's really going on.Pure Storage has officially rebranded as Everpure (P), reflecting its shift from a storage-hardware company into a broader enterprise data management platform. In this episode, we break down what the rebrand actually signals about the business, then dig into the numbers behind a rough quarter: free cash flow swung negative as the company prepaid roughly $500 million for NAND flash and memory components amid a broader memory shortage.We map where Everpure sits in the semiconductor and data center supply chain, its suppliers (Micron, Kioxia), and its closest public peer, NetApp — comparing revenue growth, gross margin, and free cash flow margin side by side. We also unpack Everpure's growing hyperscaler relationships, including its Meta partnership and a newly disclosed second hyperscaler customer, and what that means for growth heading into fiscal 2028. Finally, we run a reverse DCF at current prices to show exactly what growth and margin assumptions the market is pricing in — and whether this could be a durable, long-term compounder.TIMESTAMPS0:00 - Pure Storage Is Now Everpure — Why the Rebrand Happened1:15 - Where Everpure Fits in the Semiconductor Supply Chain5:00 - Suppliers, Competitors, and the Rise of Vast Data7:00 - The Meta Deal and Second Hyperscaler Explained9:00 - Everpure vs. NetApp: Margins and Growth Compared11:30 - Why Free Cash Flow Went Negative 20% This Quarter14:00 - Product Revenue vs. Subscription Revenue Breakdown16:30 - Reverse DCF: What the Market Is Pricing Into Everpure18:00 - Is Everpure Stock a Buy?

Oscar Health looks like a screaming buy — growing revenue, growing members, positive free cash flow. So why does the market keep discounting it? We ran the numbers.Oscar Health (OSCR) just posted strong headline numbers: member growth accelerating past 3 million, revenue climbing, free cash flow positive. Health insurers don't get valued like typical growth stocks — and free cash flow is one of the most misleading metrics you can use here.In this episode, we break down why insurance float — not free cash flow — is the real driver of Oscar's balance sheet, how the medical loss ratio (MLR) caps profitability by regulation, and why receivables and payables to CMS matter more than most investors realize. We also walk through two reverse DCF scenarios on GAAP earnings per share — a 10-year model and a more aggressive 3-year model — to see what growth rate the market is actually pricing into OSCR today.Think of it as a masterclass in valuing any financials-driven business — insurance, banks, specialty finance — differently than you'd value a software or semiconductor company.

Jana Monroe broke ground as the first female FBI agent in the Behavioral Science Unit, consulting on roughly 850 homicide cases over her career, including work connected to Jeffrey Dahmer and the Rogers family murders. Drawing on her book Hearts of Darkness and recent interviews, this episode explores what profiling actually looked like inside the Bureau — crime-scene analysis and victimology used to narrow a suspect pool, not psychic insight into a killer's mind. It's a firsthand account of the real work behind a role Hollywood has spent decades getting wrong.

For over 50 years, For the Strength of Youth has been a guide for generations of Latter-day Saint youth. I always keep a copy in my pocket, and I share it with people who are curious about our standards. It has been updated and refreshed to better cope with the challenges and temptations of our day. The new version of For the Strength of Youth is available online in 50 different languages and will also be available in print. It will be a significant help for making choices in your life. Please embrace it as your own and share it with your friends. This new version of For the Strength of Youth is subtitled A Guide for Making Choices. To be very clear, the best guide you can possibly have for making choices is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the strength of youth. So the purpose of For the Strength of Youth is to point you to Him. It teaches you eternal truths of His restored gospel—truths about who you are, who He is, and what you can accomplish with His strength. It teaches you how to make righteous choices based on those eternal truths.13 It's also important to know what For the Strength of Youth does not do. It doesn't make decisions for you. It doesn't give you a “yes” or “no” about every choice you might ever face. For the Strength of Youth focuses on the foundation for your choices. It focuses on values, principles, and doctrine instead of every specific behavior. The Lord, through His prophets, has always been guiding us in that direction. He is pleading with us to “increase [our] spiritual capacity to receive revelation.”14 He is inviting us to “hear Him.”15 He is calling us to follow Him in higher and holier ways.16 And we are learning in a similar way every week in Come, Follow Me.

Shaun Yurtkuran & Creston Berch Discuss Death Penalty, DNA Evidence & More

**Shaun Yurtkuran and Creston Birch on the death penalty and DNA** Attorney Shaun Yurtkuran has put a man on death row. Thirteen years later he still thinks about it — not because he has a moral problem with “you kill, you get killed” when the proof is ironclad, but because of how the system actually works. It does not deter the people on the street. They know what the cops do. They do not know what the courthouse does. It is expensive. And Mississippi has already put innocent men on the row. Shaun walks through Kennedy Brewer and Levon Brooks — two Noxubee County child-murder cases from the early '90s. One man sat on death row. DNA and a later confession freed both. The real killer was identified almost twenty years later. That is the part that scares him: human error before the science caught up. Creston Birch, thirty years in law enforcement, started in 1993 when DNA was barely a tool. He has watched it go from infancy to the thing that actually closes cases. He also knows what jurors think they are going to see. The CSI effect is real. In a hundred homicide cases you almost never have the gun. Fingerprints are rare. Shaun has one footprint match in his entire career — a kicked-in door at Trent Lott's house in Hinds County. Most of the time you still win with witnesses and the defendant's own mouth. They talk Baton Rouge in the '90s: three separate serial killers, a Millsaps student among the victims, suspects released because the lab could not yet do what it can do now. DNA would have stopped some of those murders. It still does not replace old-fashioned police work. It just makes the work honest. No moral grandstanding. No “just lock them up for life” slogans. Two men who have lived on opposite sides of the same cases explaining why the needle is easy to support in theory and hard to trust in practice.

Tupac's Killer Convicts Himself

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 4, 2026 4:48

**Keefe D convicted himself — and that is the whole lesson** Nearly thirty years after Tupac Shakur was shot on the Las Vegas Strip, a jury took less than three hours to convict Duane Keith “Keffe D” Davis of first-degree murder. He is the first and only person ever charged in the case. Sentencing is October 13. He faces life. He says he will appeal. Prosecutors did not say he pulled the trigger. They said he was the shot-caller: got the gun, put it in the Cadillac, ordered the hit after Tupac's camp beat Davis's nephew, Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson, at the MGM Grand hours earlier. Anderson is dead. The other men in that car are dead. Davis talked his way into the last chair left. That is the part Shaun Yurtkuran and Clay locked onto. Not the East-West mythology. The mouth. Davis told police in 2008. He told documentaries. He wrote *Compton Street Legend*. He sat down with DJ Vlad and walked through it on camera. Defense said he was selling a story for money and fame. The jury heard hours of Davis in his own voice placing himself in the car, handing over the gun, and explaining the retaliation. That is not CSI. That is a man who had the right to remain silent and none of the discipline to use it. Shaun's line on the show: old-fashioned police work still wins. People convict themselves. Clay's Jackson version of the same rule: they do the crime, then they rap the crime, then they film the crime. Sean once prosecuted an armed robber whose song was so catchy he played it on the way to court. Same species of evidence. Different decade. They compared it to O.J.'s *If I Did It*. Keefe D skipped the “if.” It was closer to *I did*. And unlike the Clancy chatter about a husband with zero evidence, this was the suspect everybody already had — who then published the confession in paperback and on YouTube. The show left the Biggie/Puffy question where it belongs: a different case, different proof. Public theory is not a verdict. Davis found that out the expensive way. The smartest investigative tool in the room is still a defendant who cannot stop talking.

Hour 2 pivots to the LSU/SEC lawsuit. Two former Ole Miss players who already went pro want another year after the eligibility rules changed. A Louisiana state judge let them play this weekend. The SEC filed in federal court in Alabama and is running a First Amendment freedom-of-association argument. Shaun breaks down why that's clever lawyering that probably still loses to the antitrust problem, why the federal judge is likely to stay his own case and let the Louisiana track play out first, and why kicking LSU out of the conference is the dumbest idea smart people keep floating. John Bond calls in mid-hour. He says NIL just advertised the old bootlegging routes every school already ran. Collectives turned it into payroll instead of a kid walking into a car lot or restaurant and selling his face. Transfer portal needs a hard cap (two times max, coach leaving counts as one). These two players didn't get the full buffet of choices when they left—give them the extra year. Congress needs to stay out of it. NCAA has always picked on the schools it wanted to pick on.

In this episode, we break down Nokia's Q2 2026 earnings, including the misleading telecom revenue chart, the real growth driver (AI and cloud products, up 105% year-over-year vs. just 4% for legacy telecom), and how the Infinera and Fenix Group acquisitions are repositioning Nokia as a vertically integrated optical communications and data center supplier.We also compare Nokia's free cash flow margin against internet infrastructure peers Cloudflare, Akamai, and Fastly, then run a reverse DCF to see what profit growth rate is already priced into the stock at a $55–56 billion market cap. With shares down significantly from 2026 highs, we explain why we're staying on the sidelines for now — and the price level where Nokia would become interesting again.TIMESTAMPS0:00 - New Research Platform & Live Event Announcement1:15 - CDN Series Wrap-Up: Why We're Holding Cloudflare2:00 - Nokia's Acquisition Spree: Fenix, Rapid, Infinera4:00 - Selling Fixed Wireless Access to Inseego5:00 - Q2 2026 Slide Deck: The Nvidia Investment Effect6:15 - The Misleading Telecom Revenue Chart7:30 - Real Growth Driver: AI and Cloud Up 105% YoY9:00 - Guidance, Margins, and Peer Comparison (CDN Stocks)11:20 - Reverse DCF: What Growth Rate Is Priced In?14:00 - Verdict: Why We're Passing (For Now) and Our Watch Price—Live event — new research platform sneak peek: join us Monday, September 7, 2026 at 7:00 AM Pacific for a live look at the new Chip Stock Investor research platform.

The Invisible Work Behind Higher Approvals

Two service advisors can work in the same dealership, see the same customers, recommend the same repairs and get completely different results. Why? It may have very little to do with the estimate itself. After training with so many service advisors, I've noticed that customers often begin deciding whether they'll approve the work long before the MPI is complete. They're paying attention when the advisor greets them, remembers their name, asks about their plans for the vehicle, explains what will happen next, provides updates and keeps every promise. Each moment either deposits trust into the relationship or withdraws it. That changes the way we should think about selling service. The recommendation is not the beginning of the sale. It's the moment the advisor discovers whether enough confidence was built to support the recommendation. In this episode of Dealer Talk with Jen Suzuki, I break down how high-performing advisors make small relationship deposits throughout the customer experience, why thoughtful questions make recommendations more personal and how trust affects approvals, retention, CSI, referrals and income. You'll also hear one question that can completely change the recommendation conversation: "How long are you planning to keep your vehicle?" The practical challenge is simple: before presenting the repair, make three intentional deposits. Use the customer's name. Ask a question that reveals what matters to them. Explain what happens next. Then notice how differently the recommendation conversation feels. Here's the question worth debating: When a customer declines necessary work, are we too quick to blame the price—or should we examine the experience we created before presenting it?

I visited Victoria Falls, which dwarfs Niagara, the extraordinary Table Mountain, and several wildlife reserves including Kruger National Park. The jeep rides through the brush yielded close encounters with female lions shepherding their cubs, male lions sleeping off meals, a leopard in a tree crunching the skull of an impala, herds of piously maternal elephants — only one of which came close to charging us — and a dozen other species of predator or prey. The high point, I'll confess, was one wildlife encounter in particular: when a troop of baboons charged the outdoor diners at The Black Marlin in Cape Town, driving them to flee, so the apes could stuff their faces with pilfered pasta. Sadly, I was sitting inside, so all I could do was cheer the hairy creatures on from through the window. Privacy Note: On play, Google may track viewers. YouTube's Privacy Policy. The Book of Nature I hope that I'm sufficiently grateful for this encounter with the baroque, sublime abundance of biology that our planet is privileged to host — alone, so far as we know, among the billions of planets. Gratitude should be aimed at a giver, and it was reading the works of Discovery Institute authors that made this easier for me. I could wonder at the tiny penguins that somehow survive in the Mediterranean climate near the Cape of Good Hope, or the birds that live symbiotically with wildebeests by feeding on bloodsucking insects, without the deflating idea lurking in the back of my mind, “This all the result of blind chance and iron necessity, with no crafting intelligence behind it.” Instead, I saw works of art, and found myself thanking the Artist. I was reading the Book of Nature, and seeing in it glimmers of divine action, intention, and generosity — as “natural philosophers” did from Kepler and Newton to Pasteur and Mendel. Back when I unreflectively adhered to the theistic (really deistic) evolution that's preached in most Christian pulpits, I accepted the notion that God was somehow behind every aspect of the cosmos. If pressed, I would have said that God had “guided” or “instigated” the emergence of extraordinary creatures like the zebras that stared at our jeep, the elegant kudus that capered past us through the veldt, the wild dogs that seemed at once so alien and so familiar that it was tempting to hop out and try petting them. (“Do not attempt this,” I was informed by our solemn African guide.) But all of life was at best a convoluted Rube Goldberg contraption, which Someone had set in motion then stepped away to observe. God even had humans in mind — deciding, for some reason, to slowly evolve His earthly image through a long chain of predecessor species, until at some point He chose to implant both rationality and immortal souls in creatures who'd mutated in and then emerged from the womb of an animal. I used to speculate about how that allegedly worked, and how I could reconcile it in some fashion with the Genesis account of God making man directly from the dust of the earth, and woman from his side. I remember thinking, lamely, “Maybe they were identical twins … and He switched Eve's sex before the ape gave birth to them?” Then I stopped bothering, encouraged by modern priests who treat not just Genesis but most of the Old Testament as mostly wholesome mythology, akin to that found in Bulfinch or Edith Hamilton. Christianizing Darwinists Obeying the dictum of 19th-century “Higher Criticism,” Christianizing Darwinists aim to explain away every claim of miraculous action — from the direct creation of man to the parting of the Red Sea, from Jesus' virgin birth to even his Resurrection. I was taught in high school that the last, most crucial Christian miracle, amounted merely to the “ongoing presence” of Jesus in his apostles' hearts and minds. Big whoop. In that sense, Adolf Hitler is still sadly with us. (If you want an account of how and why biblical critics crafted such blinders, read Scott Hahn and Benjamin Wiker's magisterial Politicizing the Bible, which I edited for publication.) Priests, theologians, bishops and even (recently) popes have responded to the popular triumph of Darwinism by dismissing most of the events recounted in Genesis as purely allegorical and moral. Keen to avoid being tarred as “fundamentalists,” and encouraged by some cautious leeway granted to evolutionary thinking by popes such as Pius XII and John Paul II, most Catholics have eagerly accepted that Darwin's theories fully explain the emergence of every living species, even man. Otherwise-orthodox believers have made this intellectual concession, convinced that “the science” is irrefutable, so the theology must make room for it. But what if, in fact, the science is very shaky, and the implications for a Christian worldview profoundly toxic? Those are the questions asked and convincingly answered in a new book, Creation or Evolution? A Catholic Dilemma. It's written in an extremely engaging format — a series of questions posed by science journalist Steve Greene and answered by theologian Rev. Michael Chabarek, O.P. It was Chaberek's previous book, Aquinas and Evolution, that convinced me to take intelligent design seriously, and embark on the journey through the works of Stephen Meyer, Michael Behe, Douglas Axe, and many others — to my profound intellectual and spiritual enrichment. This new book is every bit the equal of Chaberek's earlier work. He lays out the serious evidential weaknesses in the Darwinist claim to have explained the appearance of human beings by incremental mutations from previous apelike species. (For much more detail than this book offers, see Science and Human Origins, from Discovery Institute Press, which Chaberek cites.) He explains how circular logic and wishful thinking pervade the claims of paleontologists to have discovered non-human ancestors for our species, with periodic claims to have found a “missing link” based on tiny bone fragments of indeterminate origin. False First Principles But Chaberek's main focus is not on empirical flaws or gaps in the Darwinist account. Instead, he focuses on the false first principles that motivate, even compel Darwinists to invent their “just so” stories in the first place. Here's a sample of the straightforward, plain-speaking way that the authors convey key philosophical issues: If man did not come from the ape, then how did he come into existence? First, let us consider whether sciences such as paleontology and genetics are actually capable of providing an answer to this question. If man came into existence naturally, then, yes, because science explains the workings of nature. But if man came into existence supernaturally, that is, by the action of divine power exceeding the power of nature, then science cannot explain the beginning of man. Therefore, whether science can provide an answer to this question does not depend on scientific research, but on the previously adopted religious or philosophical assumptions. Chabarek argues convincingly that secularist and materialist assumptions precede and determine the scientific work of Darwinists, essentially forcing them to deny evidence of design, and to make impossible claims for the creative power of mutations — despite the overwhelming odds against blind chance happening upon even a single useful new protein in the entire history of life on earth (as Douglas Axe showed in exhaustive experimental detail in his book, Undeniable). When such bias-inducing reductionist assumptions migrate from the research papers of laboratory scientists into the works of Christian leaders, the consequences are even more baleful, Chabarek warns. If such a central question as the origin of the only rational species, the “image of God,” is to be surgically excised from the domain of religious authority and turned over to materialist scientists, what is to stop that same debunking impulse from undermining every mystery of faith? Should we leave Sarah's miraculous conception of Isaac to the gynecologists, the parting of the Red Sea to the oceanographers, and the resurrection of Jesus to the biologists? That's the inexorable logic of Christians who cling to Darwinist explanations of the “descent of man” from ancestral apes. Far better, Chabarek advises, for Christians who accept a long series of miracles and mysteries as entailed in the redemption of humanity to also make room for the Bible's literal account of the miracle of his creation — from the dust of the earth, by the hand of God.

Great service managers don't simply survive the month—they build stronger teams, improve the customer experience and create consistently profitable service departments. In this episode of Service Drive Revolution, automotive fixed operations expert Chris Collins reveals five overlooked habits that separate great dealership service managers from average ones. Great service managers: 1. Reject the status quo and continually improve their processes. 2. Know their numbers and understand how to change them. 3. Become "people collectors" who constantly recruit, develop and retain talented employees. 4. Make the customer experience easy, trustworthy and worth returning for. 5. Find coaches and mentors who challenge them to keep learning. Chris explains why dealership service departments are closed-loop systems, how tribal knowledge keeps managers trapped in outdated processes and why exceptional performance can actually make a manager's job easier—not harder. The conversation also examines service department profitability, net-to-gross, unproductive wages, CSI, NPS, technician recruiting, service advisor performance and customer retention. You'll learn why sales scripts and objection handling cannot replace customer trust, why technology such as video multipoint inspections cannot fix a broken process and why successful service managers are always recruiting. Chris also discusses former CIA intelligence officer Andrew Bustamante and his book Outsmart Everyone: Spy Skills to Gain an Unfair Advantage in Work and Life. The team explores charisma, vulnerability, intentional leadership, parenting and the ability to make genuine connections with people. This episode is for: Dealer principals General managers Fixed operations directors Service managers Parts managers Service advisors Automotive technicians Dealership and repair-shop leaders. If you want a healthier, more profitable automotive service operation, this episode provides a practical leadership framework you can immediately apply.

For over 50 years, For the Strength of Youth has been a guide for generations of Latter-day Saint youth. I always keep a copy in my pocket, and I share it with people who are curious about our standards. It has been updated and refreshed to better cope with the challenges and temptations of our day.

To be very clear, the best guide you can possibly have for making choices is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the strength of youth. So the purpose of For the Strength of Youth is to point you to Him. It teaches you eternal truths of His restored gospel—truths about who you are, who He is, and what you can accomplish with His strength. It teaches you how to make righteous choices based on those eternal truths.13 It's also important to know what For the Strength of Youth does not do. It doesn't make decisions for you. It doesn't give you a “yes” or “no” about every choice you might ever face. For the Strength of Youth focuses on the foundation for your choices. It focuses on values, principles, and doctrine instead of every specific behavior. The Lord, through His prophets, has always been guiding us in that direction. He is pleading with us to “increase [our] spiritual capacity to receive revelation.”14 He is inviting us to “hear Him.”15 He is calling us to follow Him in higher and holier ways.16 And we are learning in a similar way every week in Come, Follow Me.

What starts as a joke about exclusivity turns into a full-on philosophy of “equal inopportunity” where nobody gets in, everyone is equally rejected, and reclusivity becomes a lifestyle choice we pretend is a movement.From there we bounce through the weird ways pop culture rewires our brains, including the CSI effect and the fantasy that you can always “zoom and enhance” your way to the truth. We take that same skepticism and point it at modern marketing with a fake pharmaceutical ad for Reclexa, a medication that's somehow nothing but side effects and still sounds tempting when you're tired, overstimulated, and ready to disappear for a weekend.We also step out of the bit long enough to talk honestly about audience trust and the pressure of always being serious online.
