Shoot us a Text.Episode #1005: The biggest dealership groups continue their march toward market dominance while Toyota's hybrid boom is pushing suppliers to the limit. Meanwhile, Gen Z graduates face a tough reality as government hiring freezes throw career plans into chaos.Show Notes with links:The biggest names in auto retail continued their dominance in 2024, with the top 150 dealership groups expanding their footprint and market share. Growth, acquisitions, and shifting strategies defined the rankings, showing how consolidation is shaping the future of the industry.The top 150 groups sold over 4 million new vehicles in 2024, up 7.2% from the previous year, and now own 26.6% of all U.S. franchised dealerships, up from just 13.9% in 2011.Holman made the biggest leap, climbing 17 spots to No. 15 after acquiring Leith Automotive Group.Some of our other friends on the list: 140-DeMontrond, 134-Casa, 83-Sam Pack Auto Group, 80-Carter Myers Automotive, 70-DGDG, 60-Rohrman, 58-Bergstrom, 43–Ciocca, 32-Walser, 16-Ourisman“The top 10 reported owning 10.5% of U.S. dealerships, continuing the trend of industry consolidation,” said Mary Raetz, director of the Automotive News Research & Data Center.Toyota's hybrid strategy is paying off—maybe too well. Soaring global demand for its gasoline-electric hybrids has outpaced supply, leaving customers facing long wait times and suppliers scrambling to keep up.Wait times for Toyota hybrids range from 60 days in Europe to nine months in India.Parts shortages, including key components from suppliers like Aisin and Denso, are causing production bottlenecks.Toyota is ramping up output, including a $14B battery plant in North Carolina set to ship batteries in April.Global hybrid sales nearly tripled over five years, hitting 16.1 million in 2024.The surging demand has led to soaring dealership valuations in the US. According to Mercer Capital, Toyota dealerships in metro markets, particularly in Florida, can command valuation multiples as high as 10 times earnings in today's market.​​The class of 2025 is stepping into a tough job market, with tech downturns, federal hiring freezes, and economic uncertainty making it harder than ever for new grads to secure stable careers. Many are rethinking their career plans as public sector opportunities shrink.Government job applications nearly doubled in 2023, but hiring freezes have now put many positions on hold.Some federal job offers have been rescinded, and funding-dependent industries like nonprofits and universities are also feeling the squeeze.Economic shifts, including tariff concerns, have made companies hesitant to expand hiring.Many students are prioritizing stability over passion, with some opting for private-sector jobs over public service roles."The job market just seems super unstable in almost any field," said Tulane sophomore Katie Schwartz,Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

Stanford University has long been a feeder for the neighboring tech industry with graduates often heading to a brand name of Silicon Valley. But the times, they are a-changin’, according to writer Jasmine Sun. She reported recently for the San Francisco Standard that building tech for the military has become cool on campus. One student, Divya, said her “most effective and moral friends are now working for Palantir.” Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Sun about how this shift compares to when she attended Stanford in the late 2010s.

Το βράδυ της 29ης Οκτωβρίου 2007 ένα πλαστικό κοντέινερ, σαν αυτά που χρησιμοποιούνται για αποθήκευση και μετακόμιση, επέπλεε στον κόλπο του Γκάλβεστον στο Τέξας. Ο ψάρας που το συνέλεξε στη βάρκα του κάλεσε την αστυνομία, όταν είδε ότι μέσα ήταν ένα παιδικό παπουτσάκι και τυλιγμένο σε σακούλες σκουπιδιών ήταν κάτι που έμοιαζε με πτώμα. Ο ιατροδικαστής που το εξέτασε αποφάνθηκε ότι επρόκειτο για πτώμα κοριτσιού 2-5 ετών που στο κρανίο έφερε τρία κατάγματα. Η έρευνα συνεχίστηκε ως υπόθεση ανθρωποκτονίας. Η έκταση των τραυματισμών ήταν τόσο μεγάλη, όση θα ήταν αν το κορίτσι είχε πέσει από ταράτσα. Δεν υπήρχαν στοιχεία για προσδιορισμό της ταυτότητας και ανατέθηκε σε ζωγράφο -συνεργάτη δικαστικού ανθρωπολόγου- να απεικονίσει κατά προσέγγιση την εμφάνιση του θύματος εν ζωή. Όσο το θύμα δεν είχε ταυτότητα και επειδή ήταν μικρής ηλικίας, οι αρχές το ακοκαλούσαν «Baby Grace» (μικρή Θεία Χάρη).Στην προσπάθειά διακρίβωσης της ταυτότητας του θύματος, η αστυνομία σύγκρινε το DNA της μικρής με το DNA γνωστών εξαφανισμένων κοριτσιών της ίδιας ηλικίας (μέχρι και της Μαντλίν ΜακΚαν που είχε απαχθεί πρόσφατα στην Πορτογαλία και η υπόθεση είχε προβληθεί διεθνώς). Παράλληλα έδωσε πολύ μεγάλη δημοσιότητα μέσω της τηλεόρασης, προβάλλοντας το σκίτσο της «Baby Grace» σε όλα τα εθνικά δίκτυα. Μέσα σε τρεις μέρες αναγνωρίστηκε από τη γιαγιά της -από τη μεριά του πατέρα της- που ανέφερε στις αρχές ότι το σκίτσο έμοιαζε με την εγγονή της, Ράιλι Ανν Σόγιερς. Η εξέταση DNA επιβεβαίωσε αργότερα, στις 30 Νοεμβρίου 2007, ότι πράγματι τα λείψανα ήταν του παιδιού, όπως είχαν ήδη υποψιαστεί οι αρχές από τα λεγόμενα της γιαγιάς της Ράιλι.Ήταν καλή μαθήτρια, αλλά μετά την εγκυμοσύνη οι βαθμοί της άρχισαν να πέφτουν. Το σχολείο, όπως πολλά σχολεία στις ΗΠΑ, είχε υιοθετήσει ένα πρόγραμμα (ονομάζεται GRADS) για έγκυες μαθήτριες και τους φίλους τους. Η Τρένορ και ο Σόγιερς εγγράφηκαν και οι δύο και έμαθαν βασικές γονικές δεξιότητες -η ιδέα είναι να δημιουργηθεί ένα σύστημα υποστήριξης για τις έγκυες έφηβες και τους φίλους τους, ώστε να παραμείνουν στο σχολείο.Υπόθεση: Baby GraceΣυντελεστέςΈρευνα - Κείμενο: Μιμή ΦιλιππίδηΑφήγηση, Sound design, Ηχοληψία: Δάφνη Γερογιάννη

Hunter, a Collins Hill alum and Heisman Trophy favorite, is up for the Bednarik, Biletnikoff, and Maxwell Awards, showcasing his standout performances as a wide receiver and defensive back at Colorado, where he's amassed 82 catches, 1,036 yards, 11 TDs, three interceptions, and 31 tackles.

Middle and high schools will pilot from Jan. 6 to 31, while elementary schools participate Jan. 13 to Feb. 7. The initiative aims to enhance student safety by deterring prohibited items, with a final decision on district-wide use expected by March 3, 2025.

STORY 3:  Rivian lands federal loan to restart Georgia EV plant Rivian secured a nearly $6 billion federal loan to restart construction of a $5 billion EV and battery plant in Georgia, which faced doubts earlier this year over its future. The project, expected to create 7,500 operational jobs by 2030 and 2,000 construction jobs during build-up, marks a major boost for Georgia's economy. Announced as the state's largest economic project in 2021, the plant will produce up to 400,000 electric SUVs and crossovers annually by 2028. Funded through the Inflation Reduction Act, the loan is conditional, requiring Rivian to meet commitments before final approval.   We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

“We ended up with over 2,000 recruiting firms buying our training model. But after 2 years, I was just bored out of my mind! Once a month we were doing the exact same 5-day training. I missed doing the executive searches myself. That's just what my passion was, that's what I loved doing and where my talent was. So, we ended up re-acquiring our old company. I think one of the goals every human should have is to find something they sincerely love doing, and then doing it well enough that they can make a living from it. I found that! I found that in the executive search business.” Gene Rice's business career includes working for a Fortune 100 firm–where he was promoted 5 times in 7 years–to co-founding Rice Cohen International, a successful executive search firm. He has placed over 1,000 C-level executives while mentoring many young professionals. In 2008, Gene and his wife started a nonprofit charity, The Plant a Seed Inspire a Dream Foundation, which has enabled over 800 children from low-income households to pursue their passions. Gene and his daughter, a teacher, have recently co-authored the book “Grad to Grown-Up.”

As feng shui professionals, our hope is to help people manifest spaces that nurture and support them. We don't really like the word mistake or its click bait-y connotations. Anyone making the effort to invite more harmony and balance into their life is already on the right track, and the theme of today's episode isn't so much a list of mistakes that people make, but rather a list of commonly overlooked opportunities for growth within the home. Sometimes the solution to many of our obstacles is right in front of us, and today's episode is a list of tips to help see those opportunities more clearly.Discussed in this episode:-Why you may want to start small and simple-Why you should avoid dried, sick flowers and plants-Broken or obscured mirrors-Blocked doors-Beds without headboardsand much more!Download our free bagua e-kitThanks so much for listening to the Holistic Spaces Podcast brought to you by Mindful Design Feng Shui School!-Sign up for our newsletter for exclusive complimentary special workshops and offers for our newsletter subscribers ONLY! -Make sure you're following us on Instagram for feng shui tips and live Q&A's.-Learn about our courses and certification on our website at: Mindful Design School.-Check out our older episodes on our Holistic Spaces Podcast archive.MORE QUESTIONSHire one of our Mindful design school Grads for a 1-1 consultation.

We've talked a lot on this podcast about the bed and it's symbolism in feng shui. There's a reason for that — if we're lucky, we'll spend a third of our life in bed and from a feng shui perspective, it's one of the simplest and most effective places to start when realigning the qi of our homes. From clearing space around your bed to the grounding stability of a headboard, proper bed placement is both an easy and profound way to begin creating a home in which the qi can flow freely to offer inspiration and peace. For our 300th (!!!) episode we are taking the longview on proper bed placement.What we talk about in this episode:-The command position-Why we always want to make sure that our feet are not facing the door when in bed-Creating space on both sides of the bed to allow a balance of yin and yang-Which walls to place your bed against and which to avoidand much more!Thanks so much for listening to the Holistic Spaces Podcast brought to you by Mindful Design Feng Shui School!-Sign up for our newsletter for exclusive complimentary special workshops and offers for our newsletter subscribers ONLY! -Make sure you're following us on Instagram for feng shui tips and live Q&A's.-Learn about our courses and certification on our website at: Mindful Design School.-Check out our older episodes on our Holistic Spaces Podcast archive.MORE QUESTIONSHire one of our Mindful design school Grads for a 1-1 consultation.

Andy and Brendan return on a Victory Monday to recap a bevy of fall golf tournaments this weekend. Andy is fired up about Caleb Williams and the Bears' big win against the lowly Panthers during the Swag Sports Minute, while Brendan is also claiming a Victory Monday as his hometown Commanders beat another unnamed NFL team on Sunday afternoon. The Golf Minutes begin at the Dunhill Links, where friend of the show Nicolas Colsaerts finished second to Tyrrell Hatton. They discuss a strong weekend from Colsaerts, Tyrrell Hatton's development as a player, and his current standing in the game, and whether Pro-Ams should be barred from existence. Big Shot Bob MacIntyre adds some fun to this episode with his idea to "blow up" the Road Hole at the Old Course, which Andy and Brendan debate the merits of. Their attention then turns to the Sanderson, which announced that its title sponsor will return for one more round in 2025! The two wonder if the Country Club of Jackson is the most generic golf course on the PGA Tour, lament about the Golf Channel coverage of the Sunday finish, and decide that players should only get two unsuccessful TIO-related challenges per event after Beau Hossler's repeated calls for a drop on Sunday. The Korn Ferry Tour finals are up next for a recap, with some late drama around the Top 30 in the seasonlong race with Alistair Docherty being pushed out of the promotion zone on the final putt of the tournament. Andy and Brendan then touch on the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship, where winner Wenyi Ding has decided to take his DP World Tour card rather than retain his amateur status. Producer PJ then sums up a busy Furyk & Friends weekend, with a playoff finish, Brad Dalke birdies on the broadcast, and a Tim Herron technological innovation for the ages.
