Shoot us a Text.Episode #1048: Today we're diving into Honda's EV strategy rethink and dealer drama in California, a mid-May dip in wholesale used vehicle prices, and the growing reality that side hustles aren't just extra—they're essential.Honda is pumping the brakes on its aggressive EV strategy, cutting EV R&D investment by 30% and slashing its 2030 EV sales forecast by more than 1 million vehicles. Instead, hybrids are back in the spotlight.Honda now expects just 700,000 to 750,000 EVs sold in 2030, down from 2 million.EV R&D cut from ¥10T ($69B) to ¥7T ($48B); with 13 next-gen hybrid models to debut starting 2027 with improved fuel economy and cost.“It has become increasingly clear that the environmental regulations... are becoming relaxed. I think the EV penetration period will be pushed back by about 5-6 years.” said CEO Toshihiro Mibe.Meanwhile, California's dealer association has issued a cease and desist letter to Sony Honda Mobility, challenging their direct-to-consumer sales strategy for the Afeela 1 EV.American Honda claims no role in Sony Honda Mobility's sales plans.Wholesale used-vehicle prices dipped in the first half of May, giving back some of April's unusually strong gains. The market shows signs of normalization, even as demand for used vehicles remains steady.The Manheim Index fell to 205.9, down 1.1% from April but still up 4.4% YoY.Three-year-old vehicles depreciated less than average, down just 0.6%.Luxury and SUV segments led YoY gains; compact cars were the only group to decline.EVs rose 2.0% YoY but saw a 2.0% drop vs April, steeper than non-EVs.“As the tariff situation evolves and the frenzy of buying activity for new vehicles calms down, we expect wholesale pricing trends to remain more normal through Q2,” said Cox Automotive's Jeremy Robb.Side hustles aren't just a way to save for that vacation anymore—they're becoming an economic necessity for many Americans. With living costs rising and economic uncertainty looming, millions are turning to extra work just to stay afloat.44% of Americans now report having a side hustle; 43% of them rely on it to pay for basic living expenses.Bankrate data shows 71% earn under $500/month, with only 9% making over $2,000.Top gigs include web design, video editing, ride-hailing, delivery driving, and even voiceover work.Some are using side gigs to build AI-proof income streams in trades, tutoring, or specialized services.NetCredit reports AI-based gigs on Fiverr average $44.50/day—low but growing fast.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

This week on Shat the Movies, we're kicking some serious butt with Street Fighter (1994)! Join us as we dive into the live-action adaptation of the iconic video game, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme as Colonel Guile. It's a chaotic, campy, action-packed ride full of over-the-top performances, questionable fight scenes, and plenty of laughs. Whether you're a fan of the game or just love ‘90s action flicks, tune in for a hilarious deep dive into this cult classic! Plot SummaryIn the 1994 action film Street Fighter, directed by Steven E. de Souza and loosely based on the hit video game series, Jean-Claude Van Damme stars as Colonel Guile, the all-American military hero leading a multinational force to stop the evil warlord General M. Bison, played with over-the-top flair by Raul Julia in his final film role. Set in the fictional nation of Shadaloo, the movie follows Guile's mission to rescue hostages and bring down Bison's plans for world domination. Bison has kidnapped dozens of civilians and demands a massive ransom, threatening their lives. While Guile prepares for a full-scale assault, a tangled web of subplots unfolds: Chun-Li (Ming-Na Wen), a reporter with a personal vendetta against Bison, works undercover to get close to her enemy; meanwhile, hustlers Ryu (Byron Mann) and Ken (Damian Chapa) are caught between working with arms dealer Sagat (Wes Studi) and Guile's forces. Add to the mix Dhalsim, Blanka, Zangief, Cammy, E. Honda, Balrog, and Vega—many of whom are barely recognizable from their video game counterparts—and the film becomes a chaotic patchwork of characters and plot threads. Despite its wildly uneven tone, cheesy dialogue, and loose connection to its source material, Street Fighter has earned cult status thanks to its campy fun and Raul Julia's scene-stealing performance. His portrayal of Bison is operatic, charismatic, and quotable—offering the movie's most memorable moments. Join our podcast review as we revisit this infamous 90s video game adaptation, exploring whether its action, absurd charm, and unintentional comedy make it a guilty pleasure or just a first-round KO.

It has four cylinders. It won ten world championships, claimed first in over a hundred races and still holds the world record for longest uninterrupted streak with twenty-two wins in a row. It's the Honda NSR500, and it might be the meanest, fastest two-wheeling machine of the 20th century. But it really didn't start out like that. Turn back the clock to those first few years, and this modern legend looked more like a lame duck. The weight distribution was horrible, it took Freddy Spencer to the bloody edge and even famous 'wild man' Wayne Gardner could barely wrestle it under control. But they won with it, and the bike kept getting better, turning itself into a world title machine. From Spencer to Gardner to Lawson to Doohan to Crivillé and, finally, to Valentino Rossi - all of them riding Honda's famous twostroke. So, in the direct aftermath of Ducati's dashed hopes of breaking Honda's record, we take a look at the NSR500 and how it changed the landscape. And maybe we discover that the more things change, the more they stay the same...Want more? Visit our website or support us on Patreon.

I didn't grow up driving. In Poland, I was terrified of it. But when I moved to the U.S. as an au pair, everything changed. My host families handed me the keys, first to a giant Chevy, then a little Honda, and eventually a Subaru I drove for years. All of them were given to me. I was still scared, still unsure, still depending on what was handed to me.In this episode, I take you through the timeline of how cars shaped my self-concept. From co-signing for my ex's Mercedes (and never driving it), to buying my first Range Rover in cash simply because I liked how it looked, even though I had no idea what I was doing. From forcing myself to drive into Manhattan every Friday for Landmark classes (because if I wanted to grow, I had to drive), to walking into a dealership after quitting my job and negotiating my first Mercedes with a female salesperson.And then came the G-Wagon. It wasn't about money, I could afford it. It was about visibility. About wondering if it was too much. But I got it anyway. That car became my armor, my office, my way of saying “I'm doing this, even if I'm still scared.” And I grew. Big time. Financially, emotionally, professionally. Until I didn't need the armor anymore.That's when I walked into Porsche, asked for exactly what I wanted, paid in full, and drove off in a car that felt like me. Not the version of me who needed to prove anything. The version who knows who she is.This episode isn't about cars. It's about expansion, ownership, and the physical things that can support your growth, if you're intentional. A Chanel bag won't make you confident. A Mercedes won't fix your self-worth. But if you're already evolving, the right container, whether it's a car, a move, or coaching, can help you step into it faster.If you're in a season of becoming and this resonates, reach out. ⁠⁠⁠https://monikaamazur.as.me/CoffeeandGoals⁠⁠⁠

Today, I sit down with my good friend (and the pastor of another church in town), Pastor Phill Tague of Ransom Church. We question why it's so rare for two pastors from the same town (Sioux Falls, South Dakota) to come together and associate with each other? Why is this so uncommon? We talk about the dynamics of pastor relationships which often includes jealousy, competition and comparison. This conversation isn't just for ministry leaders. Whether you're in business, education, or any field where egos clash and vision competes, this one's for you! We talk about the ups and downs of doing ministry with people who share the same heart for reaching the lost, why saying “yes” to what God's called us to matters so much, and how real, honest friendship can change everything.  Plus, Phill wrote a book and it's amazing!

Nissan planea despedir a 10.000 empleados en puestos de todo el mundo según la cadena pública japonesa NHK . Estos se suman a los que ya tenía pensados la compañía en el proceso de reestructuración. En total, para llevar a cabo este recorte de gastos, la reducción será de 20.000 trabajadores o lo que es lo mismo, un 15% de su plantilla. La situación financiera de la empresa no pasa por su mejor momento desde el año pasado. Su beneficio operativo cayó un 86%, hasta los 64.000 millones de yenes. Peor fue su beneficio neto, que registró un descenso del 98%. Todo esto hizo que el CEO de Nissan hasta el mes de abril, Makoto Uchida, advirtiera que si nadie invertía la firma podría ir a la quiebra. Uchida aseguraba el 7 de marzo que las pérdidas podrían llegar a los 536 millones de dólares. Solo cuatro días después la firma anunciaba su despido y el nombramiento de Iván Espinosa como nuevo CEO. La supervivencia pudo llegar con la fusión con Honda pero al final no se dio la fusión que muchos daban como segura. El 13 de febrero ambas compañías anunciaron que abandonaban la fusión, que de producirse, tenía un valor de 60.000 millones de dólares. Hubiera sido el cuarto mayor grupo automovilístico del mundo. ¿Cómo hubiera sido esa fusión? Se hubiera formado un holding conjunto con Honda como matriz y Nissan como filial, mediante un intercambio de acciones. Los medios económicos apuntaban al orgullo de la compañía nipona a pasar como filial y su negativa a cerrar fábricas. Lo cual ahora choca bastante ya que según el medio económico Nikkei, Nissan suspenderá las operaciones en algunas plantas de Japón para reestructurar su modelo de negocio. Algo que se ve necesario teniendo en cuenta las pérdidas que prevé la compañía. Nissan prevé en este ejercicio de entre 4.250 y 4.560 millones de euros en este ejercicio y planea el cese de su producción en Argentina y descarta el plan de construir una nueva fábrica de baterías para vehículos eléctricos en la ciudad japonesa de Kitakyushu. La historia de Nissan se remonta a 1911 cuando Masujiro Hashimoto fundó una fábrica de automóviles en Tokio. En 1915 saca al mercado su primer coche, Dat. Su primer gran coche de pasajeros fue el Datsun en 1935 y su avance en esta década simbolizaron los avances tecnológicos de Japón. En los años de la posguerra tuvo su primera gran alianza, realizando una alianza estratégica con Austin Motor Company del Reino Unido en 1952.

Estamos celebrando 5 años en Detrás del Volante, y estrenamos episodio junto con la marca Acura y con una gran noticia para el mercado mexicano, con la producción del nuevo modelo de la marca, un SUV compacta que será fabricada en la planta de Celaya, Guanajuato, orgullosamente mexicana.

Jared's no stranger to The Show, and as always, he brings a good dose of insight, humor, and a few stories we probably shouldn't be sharing.

What happens when unstoppable determination meets next-level creativity on the sales floor? In this powerhouse episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman podcast, Sean V. Bradley sits down with automotive sales phenom Tiffany Jean Haggerty-Kruzer—a woman who's rewriting the rules and setting new records at her Honda dealership. "Too many people are busy selling the car when they should be busy selling the appointment." — Tiffany Jean Haggerty-Kruzer From bold marketing moves to unexpected customer connection strategies, Tiffany brings an energy and perspective that will challenge everything you think you know about car sales. Her journey is real, raw, and packed with insights dealership professionals can't afford to miss. "When people tell me I can't do something... it makes me want to show everyone that I can do better than everyone else." — Tiffany Jean Haggerty-Kruzer If you're ready to think bigger, sell smarter, and stand out in your market, this episode is your blueprint. Just be warned: it might change the way you sell forever!   Key Takeaways: ✅ Innovative Marketing: Tiffany differentiates herself by using personalized postcards, lottery tickets, and relationship-building tactics to enhance customer engagement and satisfaction. ✅ Networking Strategy: Effective use of social media groups and reciprocal relationships with other local businesses boost her sales and referral network. ✅ Overcoming Challenges: Despite early gender bias, Tiffany's resilience and commitment to excellence propelled her to the top of her field. ✅ Family in Automotive Sales: Tiffany's success has inspired her daughter to follow in her footsteps, building a successful career in car sales. ✅ Focus on Customer Relations: By treating customers as friends and continually fostering these relationships, Tiffany ensures a steady stream of referrals and repeat business.   About Tiffany Jean Haggerty-Kruzer Tiffany Jean Haggerty-Kruzer is a seasoned automotive sales professional with over 23 years of experience in the industry. Starting her career in 2001, Tiffany has demonstrated exceptional skill and resilience, transitioning from selling cars at a Honda dealership, where she is currently the top saleswoman, to becoming a notable figure in the automotive sales community. Known for her ability to sell over 60 cars in a month, Tiffany not only excels in vehicle sales but also in building meaningful customer relationships and inspiring fellow sales professionals. Her daughter, Liana Nikel, is also a talented salesperson in the automotive industry, working with GMC and achieving success early in her career!     The Path to Success: Insightful Lessons from a Female Automotive Trailblazer Key Takeaways: Embrace resilience in a challenging automotive environment, especially as a woman in a male-dominated industry. Harness innovative strategies and technology to maximize efficiency and sales outcomes. Foster invaluable networks and relationships within the industry and community for sustained success. The automotive industry, like many others, is often seen as a male-dominated space. Yet, trailblazers like Tiffany Jean Haggerty-Kruzer have shattered these perceptions, proving that women can excel and redefine success in car sales. This engaging conversation between Sean V. Bradley, LA Williams, and Tiffany reveals insightful themes centered around resilience, innovation, and networking. Each of these themes is crucial for anyone looking to thrive in the automotive sales world.   Resilience Against Industry Challenges Resilience is a recurring theme throughout the transcript. Tiffany's journey in the automotive industry wasn't smooth from the outset. Her initial challenge was during a job interview with a BMW dealership, where her potential was prematurely judged based on her gender. "The manager walked in, saw I was a female, and walked right back out," she reflects, with a sense of triumph over what would have discouraged many. Such prejudices, unfortunately, aren't rare. Many women in various industries face similar biases. Tiffany's story serves as an inspiring testimony that challenges are not roadblocks but stepping stones to success. Her approach is clear: "Pretty funny because that honestly gives me more drive. When people tell me I can't do something…it makes me want to show everyone that I can do better than everyone else." The broader implication is a call for resilience in the face of unfair treatment and stereotypes, advocating for perseverance and persistence. Tiffany's success speaks to those who doubt their capabilities in overcoming industry-specific hurdles and provides a beacon of hope for aspiring female professionals.   Leveraging Innovative Strategies and Technology Innovation, especially in terms of leveraging tools and personal strategies, is crucial for sustained success in the automotive industry. Tiffany illustrates a clear understanding of how standing out requires more than just conventional techniques. She asserts, "I always wanted to be different than everyone else because that's what makes you successful." Her use of handwritten postcards, light-hearted lottery tickets, and the creation of evidence manuals highlights a sophisticated approach to building relationships and enhancing customer engagement. She explains, "People don't like to open up envelopes, you know, too much. So, I really feel that if you have it on a postcard and they get it in the mail, they're going to read it right away." Additionally, there's an emphasis on the integration of technology and automation in streamlining operations. Bradley's advice regarding AI underscores the importance of embracing technological advancements. "I would love to be able to promote your business," Tiffany concurs, signaling an openness to adopting innovative tools that can further accentuate her already effective strategies. Such tools can increase productivity and allow industry professionals to scale their efforts, revealing the potential impact of technology on sales efficiency.   Building Networks for Long-term Success Networking within the industry and broader community is an essential element of Tiffany's success story. Her strategy in creating valuable, sustained relationships lays the foundation for reliable referrals and repeat business. Her community engagement, characterized by distributing business cards with donuts to banks and clothing stores, exemplifies her proactive approach to fostering relationships. "Basically, I have just…one big friendship because they'll know who to call when they need a car," she shares, underscoring the importance of turning customers into long-term allies and advocates. This relational approach allows her to close a significant number of referral-based deals each month and steadily build her reputation. Professionals in the automotive industry can learn from Tiffany's approach to networking. By developing reciprocal relationships, such as with mortgage brokers and real estate agents, sales associates can create a widened network of potential customers and referrers. The broader implication here is the undeniable value of community integration and professional alliances in achieving robust, long-term success. Without limiting herself to traditional norms, Tiffany has utilized a combination of personal initiative, relationship-building, and innovative thinking to redefine success in the automotive world. For emerging and seasoned professionals alike, her approach presents actionable insights: aim for excellence irrespective of prejudice, employ technology to enhance efforts, and cultivate indispensable networks. Through these insights, Tiffany Jean Haggerty-Kruzer not only stands as a model for female empowerment but also as a luminary for all who strive to excel in the automotive sales industry.     Resources: Podium: Discover how Podium's innovative AI technology can unlock unparalleled efficiency and drive your dealership's sales to new heights.

Jill and Tom opened the show noting that of all the car brands affected by the trade tariffs, Buick and Volvo are in a particularly tough spot. Listen in to hear why. Tom made note of all the EV fast charging news of late, and suggests that listeners not get too excited by the hype. Per Tom, the nation's current electric grid will not be easily tapped for additional power, regardless of how quickly a vehicle is capable of being charged. Still in the first segment, the hosts discussed the newly introduced Kia K4 Hatchback, which Jill insists is a wagon. Jill reviewed the off-road Sasquatch package, newly available for certain Ford Bronco Sport trim levels. Listen in for Jill's take on the new equipment group. In the second segment, the hosts welcome Chris Martin, Technology Communications Manager for Honda, to the show. Chris updated listeners on Honda's plans for hands-free driving, and made clear the important differences between level-2 and level-3 autonomous driving. Expect to see advanced hands-free systems first on Honda's new "O Series" (Zero Series) electric cars due in showrooms soon. In the last segment, Jill is subjected to Tom's "Buick versus Chrysler" quiz. The hosts wrapped up the show taking note of plunging Tesla resale values.
