As we remember the lives of those lost on this Memorial Day, revisit some of Will's best conversations with four retired Navy SEALS reminding us of the values and virtues that come from a life of service.  First, in an excerpt from his appearance with Will last Thursday, Mike Sarraille, retired Navy SEAL and Host of FOX Nation's 'The Unsung Of Arlington,' shares the stories of a handful of American heroes you may not have heard. Will is then joined by retired Navy SEAL, Co-author of ‘Extreme Ownership' and ‘The Dichotomy of Leadership,' & Host of the ‘Jocko Podcast,' Jocko Willink to discuss how discipline is the path to freedom, to always take responsibility for your own actions and failures, and much more. Retired Navy SEALs, Bill Brown & Jason Redman, then share about their successful march with military special forces veterans on Washington, D.C. in support of then Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth and why it was so important to stand up for someone who stands up for the war fighters.

Coming off a powerful FTX leadership training event, JP shares behind-the-scenes lessons on clarity under chaos, how most leaders fail when pressure hits, and why leadership isn't just about serving others — it's about protecting your standards, your team, and your time. They also dig into the hard truth about relationships: not everyone can go where you're going, and sometimes, leadership means cutting ties with people who don't align with your mission — even if they're good people.

In this short segment of the Revenue Builders Podcast, we revisit the discussion with Marcello Gallo, CRO at Sigma Computing, tackling one of the most critical and misunderstood phases of complex enterprise sales: procurement. They dissect the challenges of "separation of church and state," the pitfalls of weak champions, and the importance of owning the final stretch of the sales cycle with confidence, conviction, and clarity of value.KEY TAKEAWAYS[00:00:25] Understand “Separation of Church and State”: Champions often step back during procurement. Plan for it, but don't surrender the deal.[00:01:33] “Participate in Your Own Rescue”: Teach champions to fight for the value they believe in—even through procurement.[00:03:15] Extreme Ownership is Non-Negotiable: Blaming procurement delays is a weak excuse. Elite sellers own the entire process.[00:04:00] Know the Negative Consequences: It's not just about the pain — it's about what happens if the problem doesn't get solved now.[00:05:54] True Champions Have Power and Influence: They actively sell on your behalf and are invested in your success. Anything less is not a real champion[00:06:38] Elite Sellers Multiply Champion Power: The best reps elevate their champions inside the account. It's not seller vs. buyer—it's a partnership.QUOTES[00:01:54] “You can't get alligator arms during procurement. If this is what you want delivered, you have to participate in your own rescue.”[00:03:35] “Extreme ownership means the deal is yours. No excuses. If procurement's dragging, you didn't plan it right.”[00:04:59] “Without understanding the negative consequences, you can't drive urgency — and urgency drives deals.”[00:05:54] “A true champion has power and influence, is actively selling on your behalf, and has a vested interest in your success.[00:07:02] “If a rep's saying, ‘It's us versus them,' you're in trouble. It means you never had a real champion to begin with.”Listen to the full conversation through the link below.https://revenue-builders.simplecast.com/episodes/scaling-high-growth-companies-with-marcello-galloEnjoying the podcast?

Send us a textFreedom arrives in an unexpected package: the realization that no one is coming to save you. This liberating truth sits at the heart of Jordan Edwards' powerful five-minute Value Bomb that might just transform how you approach everything in your life.Drawing from Jocko Willink's concept of "Extreme Ownership," Jordan challenges us to embrace radical accountability – not just for our obvious choices, but for everything that touches our lives. This mindset shift eliminated his tendency to blame others and revolutionized his approach to challenges. When you claim ownership of your circumstances, you simultaneously claim the power to change them."You are the driver of your own life," Jordan reminds us with passionate conviction. This isn't about self-blame but self-empowerment. The path to authentic living begins when we stop waiting for rescue and start taking control. The accountability muscle might be uncomfortable to develop at first, but it builds the genuine self-confidence needed to create lasting change.Jordan delivers this message in a concentrated five-minute format designed for those who need transformative ideas without lengthy explanations. His parting question lingers long after listening: "What are you upset about and what have you not taken control of?" The answer could be the first step toward the life you truly want. Remember, you can make a decision and change anything at any moment – what will you choose to change today?

I FOUGHT IN RAMADI – Navy SEAL JP Dinnell Reviews "Warfare" (2025) JP Dinnell breaks down the new movie  @A24  movie Warfare by Ray Mendoza about the task unit that relieved TU Bruiser in Ramadi.  In this powerful episode of The JP Dinnell Podcast, JP delivers a raw, emotional, and brutally honest review of the 2025 war film “Warfare”, co-directed by Alex Garland and former Navy SEAL Ray Mendoza. But this isn't just another reaction video — JP Dinnell actually fought in the same battle space as depicted in the film. While most people see Warfare as a gripping, cinematic portrayal of urban combat in Ramadi, Iraq, JP lived it. He was part of Task Unit Bruiser, the most decorated special operations unit of the Iraq War, serving alongside warriors like Jocko Willink, Leif Babin, Marc Lee, and Michael Monsoor. His team was operating in Ramadi in 2006, directly before Alpha One, the SEAL unit depicted in Warfare, took over that area of operations. This review is more than just technical commentary — it's a glimpse into the real-world chaos, decision-making, emotion, and leadership that happened in those exact streets.

What does it take to turn pain into purpose?In this powerful episode, retired Navy SEAL Jason Redman shares how a crushing leadership failure, a near-death battlefield injury, and the chaos of post-military life all became fuel for building an “Overcome Mindset.” He dives into the role of stoic philosophy in recovery, the dangers of “freedom intoxication” after service, and the intentional habits that transformed his marriage and mission.Tune in to discover how to lead yourself through adversity—and come out stronger on the other side.

In this enlightening episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, host Sean V. Bradley, joined by Dealer Synergy's Director of CRM and Technologies, Jonathan Schrieber, delves deep into the intricacies of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems in the automotive industry. The discussion highlights the evolving roles within the dealership environment and the crucial importance of CRM systems as a cornerstone for modern automotive businesses. The episode begins with an exploration of Jonathan's extensive background, emphasizing the value of his varied experience from education to high-ranking dealership roles and through to his tenure at LotPop. "I fell in love with the CRM because you can't hide from it. You either do or you don't." – Jonathan Schrieber Throughout the episode, Sean and Jonathan stress the significance of effectively leveraging CRM systems to ensure dealership success and growth. They explore common shortcomings and strategies for enhancing CRM processes, from setup and employee training to AI integration with tools like Podium AI.  "Information without application is just information. Information with application equals transformation." – Sean V. Bradley Key insights include the necessity of customizing CRM processes to align with dealership specifics, promoting accountabilities such as making CRM usage a condition of employment, and the underutilized potential of CRM in reducing dealership dependency on expensive third-party lead providers. During the conversation, the seamless integration of AI with CRM systems is identified as a vital step towards optimizing customer engagement and dealership efficiency. "The hardest part about this job is just getting customer engagement." – Jonathan Schrieber   Key Takeaways: ✅ The seamless integration of CRM systems with AI holds significant potential to enhance dealership efficiency, especially beyond regular business hours. ✅ Customized CRM processes are vitally important for the unique needs of each dealership, particularly in managing the lifecycle of leads from various sources. ✅ Proficient use of CRM can dramatically reduce unnecessary expenditure on third-party lead services by maximizing existing databases. ✅ Consistent training and management accountability are essential to encourage proper CRM use by employees, enhancing dealership profitability. ✅ Innovative applications of AI within CRM not only streamline dealership operations but also improve customer engagement and management decision-making processes. About Jonathan Schrieber Jonathan Schrieber is a seasoned automotive professional with over 20 years of diverse experience in the industry. Jonathan is a graduate of the NADA University and has held various pivotal roles, including Internet Director and GSM. His career spans several key areas, including sales, service, parts, and management in dealerships, which provided him a holistic understanding of automotive operations! Jonathan currently serves as the Director of CRM and Technologies at Dealer Synergy, where he leads initiatives to maximize dealership efficiency and customer relationship management globally. His expertise has been honed further through a significant tenure at LotPop, where he analyzed and enhanced dealership processes across the country.   Mastering the Art of CRM Integration: Strategies for Automotive Dealership Success   Key Takeaways: Outsourcing and AI integration are pivotal for thriving CRM strategies. Comprehensive CRM training is essential for maximizing dealership potential. CRM is not just a tool but a culture that needs top-down commitment and execution.   Innovative CRM Strategies for Automotive Dealerships The landscape of the automotive industry is rapidly evolving, with customer relationship management (CRM) as a linchpin for success. As dealerships strive to sell more cars, customer engagement remains the hardest part of the job. The introduction of AI and dedicated call centers has revolutionized how dealerships manage leads and customer interactions. Sean V. Bradley, president of Dealer Synergy, underscores the importance of CRM by stating, "One of the biggest challenges that I keep hearing from dealers across the United States is, man, I don't have enough people." Outsourcing is a game-changer in this context. By expanding their operations across three countries, including Belize and the Philippines, Dealer Synergy leverages skilled agents ensuring no customer is left unattended. This operational efficiency not only addresses the perennial complaint of insufficient staffing but also enhances customer engagement through continuous, round-the-clock service. Such strategies allow dealers to focus more on profitable engagements, rather than scrambling to maintain their current workloads. The advent of AI, especially solutions like Podium's AI BDC, amplifies this strategy. Podium's Jerry provides 24/7 lead conversion powerhouses, engaging customers even after hours. "Meet Jerry Podium's new AI BDC. Jerry is a lead conversion powerhouse designed to respond instantly to every incoming lead," offers a practical glimpse into leveraging technology for superior customer management without direct human intervention. Such integrations streamline processes, ensuring a smooth handover to human staff without disrupting customer interaction.   The Importance of Robust CRM Training and Processes While sophisticated tools and AI are invaluable, the human factor remains central to CRM success. Dealerships often overlook thorough training for their teams, leading to suboptimal use of available technology. Jonathan Schrieber, an automotive veteran and Director of CRM and Technologies at Dealer Synergy Global, emphasizes the need for a sound training structure. "I think the hardest part about this job is just getting customer engagement," he echoes, highlighting how a well-trained staff is instrumental in overcoming this challenge. Schrieber's personal journey from the floor of a dealership to overseeing CRM at an executive level underscores the value of comprehensive training and experienced leadership. His background in every facet of the dealership—from driving a parts truck to handling finance—shows how familiarity with all processes enriches CRM strategy and execution. His insight into the importance of analytics ensures that dealership's sales, service, and parts departments align seamlessly, fostering an environment where CRM is not just a database, but a dynamic tool driving meaningful customer interactions. Training should not simply involve checking off a list. Instead, it requires ongoing commitment from all levels of management. "It's not what you preach, it's what you tolerate," a quote from Extreme Ownership as referenced by Schrieber, encapsulates the idea that CRM proficiency must be embedded in the dealership's culture. Overcoming CRM hesitance requires robust leadership that practices what it preaches, making CRM compliance and training a non-negotiable part of dealership operations.   Elevating CRM from Tool to Cultural Cornerstone The successful execution of CRM strategies stretches beyond technology and tools; it requires a paradigm shift in how dealerships perceive CRM. Sean V. Bradley advocates for viewing CRM as fundamental to dealership operations, not just an optional tool. "Information without application is just information. Information with application equals transformation," he states, urging dealerships to transform data into actionable insights. Transitioning CRM from a supportive tool to an operational cornerstone involves aligning AI, human resources, and backend processes. The trifecta approach—human resources, CRM automation, and AI—ensures all dealership functions operate synergistically. When set up correctly, these elements prevent duplicate efforts and ensure smooth customer interactions. Achieving this integration requires a commitment to cleanliness and optimization of existing CRM processes. As Schrieber advises, "The first step…is just clean up and optimize what you do have first." By eliminating redundancies and enhancing process flows, dealerships can fully leverage AI capabilities, ensuring customer interaction fidelity and real-time engagement. Crafting a future-proof CRM strategy in the automotive industry necessitates a blend of advanced technology, diligent training, and a cultural shift in CRM perception. As experts like Schrieber and Bradley illustrate, converting CRM from a task-driven utility to an integral cultural component is crucial. This ensures not only enhanced customer experiences but also maximizes profitability in an increasingly competitive market. Through embracing technology, fostering comprehensive training, and committing to a culture of accountability, dealerships can thrive in the complex ecosystem of modern automotive sales.     Resources: Podium: Discover how Podium's innovative AI technology can unlock unparalleled efficiency and drive your dealership's sales to new heights.

“It wouldn't surprise me. No, it would be exciting.”That was Adam Ante's initial response when asked if five years from now, he could imagine himself still in the C-suite—but not as a CFO. The comment seemed to linger in the air, hinting at a deeper current in his career journey. Ante, who had led Paycor through an IPO, a pandemic, and most recently, a $4.1 billion sale to Paychex, wasn't just closing out a CFO chapter—he may have been opening something entirely new.While he later softened the sentiment, suggesting he might be surprised if he moved beyond finance, his earlier candor revealed a finance leader attuned to operations—and perhaps transformation.Years earlier, Ante had flown weekly to Colorado, struggling to integrate a newly acquired company. “I felt like I was failing,” he tells us. The lesson was hard-won: strategy and spreadsheets are meaningless unless you can move people with them. That shift—from financial executor to business operator—has defined his trajectory ever since.His strategic mindset matured further with Extreme Ownership, a book he credits with changing how he approached leadership, cross-functional collaboration, and results.Now, as the dust settles on Paycor's acquisition, Ante's priorities have shifted once again—to preserving what works, aligning teams, and honoring the customer experience.

Substack Week: The Shared Ownership Challenge, Understanding Clear Accountability in Engineering Teams With Rafa Páez Welcome to our Substack Week, where we interview thought leaders who publish newsletters on Substack to help you find inspiring voices that drive our community forward. In this episode, we explore the concept of shared ownership and its pitfalls with Rafa Páez, an experienced engineering leader with insights on creating clear accountability in teams. The Pitfalls of Shared Ownership In engineering teams, shared ownership often manifests as ambiguity in responsibility and accountability. Rafa shares a personal experience where assigning two engineers to lead an initiative resulted in nothing getting done, as each assumed the other would take action. This phenomenon highlights how shared ownership without clear accountability can lead to missed deadlines, poor quality deliverables, and team conflicts. "It might not be my fault because I thought the other person was available, I thought the other person had more time to actually work on that initiative." Understanding the Bystander Effect The bystander effect, a psychological phenomenon first identified by social psychologists, explains why people are less likely to take action when others are present. In a team setting, this manifests as members assuming someone else will take responsibility, leading to collective inaction. This effect can significantly impact team productivity and project outcomes. "Because there are more people there, someone thinks that someone else will take care of that thing, whether it's a project, initiative, or any other action." The DRI Framework: Creating Clear Ownership The Directly Responsible Individual (DRI) concept, popularized by Gitlab and Apple, addresses the accountability gap by ensuring one person is clearly responsible for each significant initiative. This framework emerged after a failed project launch where no clear ownership led to quality issues. The DRI approach creates clear lines of responsibility while maintaining collaborative team dynamics. "You can have multiple DRIs for different aspects, but at the end, it needs to be one responsible for the overall project." Implementing DRI Successfully For leaders implementing the DRI framework, several key considerations are crucial for success. DRIs should be assigned thoughtfully based on skills and experience, with senior team members often better suited for these roles. The framework must be supported by a culture that empowers DRIs to make decisions while maintaining team collaboration. "DRIs need to be empowered to make decisions. If they are not empowered to make decisions, this role is not going to work because they're going to feel frustrated." Avoiding Common Anti-patterns When implementing the DRI framework, leaders should be aware of potential anti-patterns that can emerge. These include DRIs becoming bottlenecks, erosion of team collaboration, and overuse of the framework for minor tasks. Success requires finding the right balance and ensuring the framework enhances rather than hinders team dynamics. "Another issue or anti-pattern is the erosion of collaboration - some people might get the wrong concept about DRIs and say 'I don't need to collaborate anymore.'" Building a Culture of Accountability Creating a successful culture of accountability requires clear communication about the DRI role and its implications. Leaders must ensure DRIs are supported while maintaining team collaboration and avoiding the framework becoming overly bureaucratic.
