Brian Skrobonja closes out the year with a milestone episode that marks the final episode of 2025 and the conclusion of this version of the show. He shares the gratitude he feels for the listeners who have supported the mission, the team whose work brought each idea to life, and the recognition the podcast received from Forbes as one of the top shows by financial advisors. Tune in to hear Brian reflect on why he started this podcast, how the mission has been accomplished, and why this moment isn't an ending but the beginning of a bigger vision that will unfold in 2026. He also shares the three core truths that can reshape your financial future if you're ready to take them to heart and take action. Brian reveals that today's episode is a meaningful milestone. It closes out the year and marks the end of this version of the show. He takes a moment to thank the listeners, the production team, and Forbes for recognizing the podcast among the top in the industry. He reflects on why he started the podcast in the first place: To cut through the constant misinformation about money and share the strategies his team uses to help people achieve real financial results. Looking back, he believes that mission has been accomplished.  Brian makes it clear that this is not an ending but a transition into something bigger. He shares that a complete rebrand and new platform will be announced in 2026, designed to serve listeners at a much higher level. Before signing off, he leaves the audience with three core truths that can transform their financial future. Truth #1: Not all financial advisors are the same. Some sell products, while others build full plans that protect your assets and future. Learn how to spot the difference so your plan always comes first. Truth #2: Chasing interest rates won't make you wealthy. True financial success is about outcomes, not chasing quick wins. When your plan dictates the strategy, your money finally works for your life. Truth #3: Stop procrastinating. According to Brian, waiting for the perfect moment or strategy only delays your security and peace of mind. Taking action now, even imperfectly, moves you toward real results and freedom. Brian explains how a real financial plan protects more than your investments. It covers taxes, estate planning, long-term care, Social Security timing, and income planning. With a holistic plan, you stop guessing and start living with security and clarity. Learn why a plan comes before products. Products like stocks or insurance aren't your strategy, they are tools your plan uses to achieve your goals. When you focus on planning first, every financial move has purpose and impact. Brian reveals how to choose the right financial advisor. Look for someone who brings tax, legal, and comprehensive planning expertise to the table. The right advisor helps you use your money to build the life you want. For Brian, the secret to building wealth is taking imperfect action. Waiting for the perfect strategy or market conditions rarely works. Brian shows how moving forward, even with small steps, creates momentum and confidence.  Brian explains why financial clarity beats short-term gains. Rates of return and interest are important, but they don't define success. Outcomes, security, and a plan that fits your life always win in the long term. Even as this podcast chapter closes, bigger opportunities and tools are coming to serve you at a higher level.     Mentioned in this episode: BrianSkrobonja.com SkrobonjaFinancial.com SkrobonjaWealth.com BUILDbanking.com Common Sense Financial Podcast on YouTube  Common Sense Financial Podcast on Spotify     Alternative investments may be subject to less regulation than other types of pooled investment vehicles.

Falling asleep to the sound of ocean noises from a sound machine is one of the most effective natural sleep aids for improving sleep quality and promoting deep relaxation. Ocean sounds, such as gentle waves, rhythmic surf, and distant shoreline ambience, create consistent background noise that helps mask disruptive sounds like traffic, neighbors, or household activity. This type of white noise or nature-based sound therapy signals the brain to relax, making it easier to fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Many people searching for solutions to insomnia, restless sleep, or nighttime anxiety find that ocean noise sound machines provide a calming sleep environment. Ocean wave sounds are especially powerful because they mimic the natural rhythms of the body, helping regulate breathing patterns and heart rate. The steady ebb and flow of ocean noises encourage the nervous system to shift into a parasympathetic state, which supports stress reduction and mental calm. Studies on sound therapy for sleep suggest that natural soundscapes like ocean waves can lower cortisol levels and reduce nighttime anxiety, making them ideal for people who struggle with racing thoughts at bedtime. Using a high-quality sound machine with realistic ocean sounds can transform your bedroom into a peaceful coastal retreat that promotes restorative sleep. Using ocean noises for sleep is also highly beneficial for people who experience frequent awakenings or light sleep. Unlike sudden or irregular noises, ocean sounds maintain a smooth, continuous audio pattern that helps prevent sleep disruptions throughout the night. A sound machine designed for sleep can provide consistent volume and high-fidelity ocean audio, ensuring uninterrupted rest. Parents, children, and individuals living in noisy environments often rely on ocean sound machines to create a stable sleep atmosphere that improves sleep duration and overall sleep efficiency. Beyond better sleep, falling asleep to ocean sounds can help to positively impact overall wellness. Regular exposure to calming ocean noise at night has been linked to improved mood, enhanced focus during the day, and reduced symptoms of stress and fatigue. Incorporating ocean sound therapy into a nightly bedtime routine reinforces healthy sleep habits and signals the body that it's time to unwind. For anyone searching for natural ways to sleep better, reduce stress, and improve nighttime relaxation, ocean noise sound machines offer a simple, and effective solution. Sweet dreams!

How Comedy Builds Trust, Connection, and Stronger Leadership Teams with Elizabeth WalkerIn this episode, host Josh Elledge speaks with Elizabeth Walker, host of the Dear Business Coach Podcast and a workplace communication expert who helps leaders use humor as a tool for connection and trust. Their conversation explores how comedy—when used intentionally—can break down barriers, improve communication, and create psychologically safe environments where teams thrive. This blog captures the most impactful insights from their discussion, offering leaders a fresh perspective on how humor can elevate leadership effectiveness and workplace culture.Using Humor as a Strategic Leadership SkillElizabeth Walker reframes comedy as a leadership skill rather than entertainment, explaining that humor helps leaders communicate more effectively by making messages memorable and human. When leaders use light, intentional humor—especially through storytelling—they signal approachability and authenticity, making it easier for teams to engage, share ideas, and collaborate. Rather than relying on jokes, Elizabeth emphasizes humor rooted in shared experiences, everyday challenges, and honest reflection.A major focus of the conversation is self-effacing humor, which Elizabeth describes as a powerful way to build trust without undermining authority. By sharing moments of failure, awkwardness, or learning, leaders show they are human—inviting connection instead of hierarchy. Elizabeth cautions against self-disrespect, noting that effective self-effacing humor should create common ground rather than diminish confidence, helping teams feel safe enough to contribute openly.Elizabeth also shares how she teaches humor through workshops and exercises that guide participants to uncover their own “underdog stories.” These storytelling practices help individuals tap into authenticity, vulnerability, and relatability—key ingredients for strong leadership presence. By modeling openness and encouraging laughter rooted in empathy, leaders can foster cultures where trust grows, pressure eases, and teams become more resilient and engaged.About Elizabeth WalkerElizabeth Walker is a leadership communication coach, workshop facilitator, and host of the Dear Business Coach Podcast.

Green noise, often described as a constant sound with equal energy per octave, has gained popularity as a soothing background for those seeking a restful night's sleep. Its benefits are numerous and scientifically supported. Green noise acts as a natural sleep aid by masking disruptive sounds in the environment. Unlike sudden and jarring noises, green noise's consistent and balanced spectrum of frequencies provides a gentle auditory backdrop, helping individuals stay asleep or fall asleep more easily. This is particularly beneficial for light sleepers or those living in noisy urban areas, as it creates a tranquil auditory environment conducive to deep rest. Green noise has been found to have a calming effect on the nervous system. Its steady and predictable pattern of sound can help reduce anxiety and stress levels, which are often culprits behind sleep disturbances. As it promotes relaxation, green noise can lower heart rate and blood pressure, making it a valuable tool for individuals who struggle with insomnia or experience high levels of nighttime stress. This soothing auditory experience can induce a state of relaxation, paving the way for a more peaceful and rejuvenating night's sleep. In addition, green noise offers cognitive benefits that extend beyond sleep. Research suggests that exposure to green noise can enhance cognitive performance, including memory consolidation and problem-solving abilities. These improvements are thought to result from the noise's ability to promote stable and undisturbed sleep, allowing the brain to undergo essential processes related to memory and learning. Incorporating green noise into your sleep routine not only aids in achieving a better night's sleep but can also lead to improved daytime cognitive function and overall well-being. Sweet dreams!

Menopause, which typically occurs between age 44 and 55, marks the natural end of menstruation and fertility, and is confirmed after 12 consecutive months without menstruation A 2025 study presented at The Menopause Society Annual Meeting found that women who experienced earlier menopause and had weaker heart function showed more signs of brain aging Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women, and Alzheimer's affects women nearly twice as often as men Falling estrogen and progesterone levels affect every system — blood vessels stiffen, sleep and mood fluctuate, and metabolism slows Menopause is not the end of vitality — it's a biological reset. Incorporating a nutrient-rich diet and a healthy lifestyle can restore balance and boost energy

Chapter 3, Verse 9 of the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita explores the theme of dedication, as Shri Krishna explains that our attitude in action matters just as much as our intention.

Today on Beating Cancer Daily, Saranne welcomes Jacqui Bryan, functional medicine expert and nutrition specialist, to unpack a condition that's more relevant to cancer survivors than many realize - gout. Although often associated with historical figures and rich feasts, gout can be a painful complication for those undergoing cancer treatments. Saranne, herself a long-term Stage IV cancer survivor, brings her signature humor and curiosity to the topic. As Jacqui explains, gout's root cause is the buildup of uric acid, and certain chemotherapy agents, medications, or kidney issues can trigger debilitating flare-ups. Together, Saranne and Jacqui break down how symptoms can be confused with common treatment side effects, why it matters for anyone in the cancer community, and what steps can be taken to prevent and manage this “disease of kings.” Jacqui Bryan is a certified nutrition specialist, whole health educator, health coach, and registered nurse. With her wide-ranging background in functional medicine, she offers practical, food-first strategies to help individuals manage side effects from cancer treatments and live healthier lives. Jacqui is recognized for her commitment to educating and empowering patients and their loved ones through nutrition, lifestyle, and supportive care. "Diets that are high in fiber trigger microorganisms that are in your gut to produce short chain fatty acids that actually resolve gout-associated inflammation." ~Jacqui Bryan Today on Beating Cancer Daily:·     Gout can be a side effect of cancer treatments like chemotherapy or medications such as diuretics, making it important to recognize and manage for cancer patients and survivors·     Symptoms of gout, especially severe joint pain, can easily be mistaken for medication side effects, underlining the need for medical evaluation·     Gout results from the buildup of uric acid, which can crystallize in joints and cause intense, sometimes immobilizing pain·     Diet plays a crucial role in managing gout; reducing red meat, shellfish, high-fat dairy, alcohol, and sugary drinks can help prevent flare-ups·     Incorporating low-purine foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and especially cherries, can lower uric acid levels and inflammation·     Hydration is essential, as drinking enough water helps flush excess uric acid from the body·     Maintaining a healthy body weight and eating at regular intervals are effective strategies in reducing gout risk and supporting overall health·     Patients should partner with healthcare providers to monitor symptoms and adjust dietary or medication plans as necessary for gout prevention and management 2025 People's Choice Podcast Awards Finalist Ranked the Top 5 Best Cancer Podcasts by CancerCare News in 2024 & 2025, and #1 Rated Cancer Survivor Podcast by FeedSpot in 2024 Beating Cancer Daily is listened to in over 130 countries across 7 continents and features over 390 original daily episodes hosted by  Stage IV survivor Saranne Rothberg.   To learn more about Host Saranne Rothberg and The ComedyCures Foundation:https://www.comedycures.org/ To write to Saranne or a guest:https://www.comedycures.org/contact-8 To record a message to Saranne or a guest:https://www.speakpipe.com/BCD_Comments_Suggestions To sign up for the free Health Builder Series live on Zoom with Saranne and Jacqui, go to The ComedyCures Foundation's homepage:https://www.comedycures.org/ Please support the creation of more original episodes of Beating Cancer Daily and other free ComedyCures Foundation programs with a tax-deductible contribution:http://bit.ly/ComedyCuresDonate THANK YOU!

Brian Skrobonja sits down with Phon Vilayoune to unpack buffered ETFs and income notes. Phon is the Founder and CEO of VETA Investment Partners, where they currently oversee over $5.5 billion in assets. They discuss the benefits of positioning your portfolio for growth and safety, how to protect your nest egg in volatile markets, and practical strategies for optimizing gains while limiting downside risk. Tune in to hear professional insights on ETFs, income notes, and actionable frameworks for navigating today's complex market cycles. Phon explains how he entered the investing world and now helps oversee roughly $5.5B in assets. Phon highlights what trading during the 2008–09 crisis taught him about being positioned like Warren Buffett or Middle Eastern banks. In deep volatility, cash plus cash flow gives you the power to buy when everything is on sale.  Why you want a Buffett-style portfolio in a downturn: Buffett held strong during bear markets and bought when others panicked.  How to win more by losing less. Phon says risk management is the key. You never want to be a forced seller during a correction because you take a double hit: loss plus selling at the bottom. Phon and Brian break down buffered ETFs and how they're tied to S&P 500 options designed to provide a more predictable range of outcomes over 12 months. Think of it like investing with guardrails — you're participating but with intentional limits on downside. Learn what income notes are: Phon says it's basically converting equity exposure into monthly income. For example, instead of holding stocks outright, you buy a structured note designed to pay you steady monthly income while still giving some market participation. It's like blending investing and cash flow without fully being in the stock market. Phon on the future earnings potential of ETFs. He believes growth will continue, especially as aging demographics seek income and protection. BlackRock projects more than $600B in defined-outcome/Buffered ETFs in the coming years. Brian highlights that markets don't move straight up forever. We all intellectually understand cycles, but emotionally, we forget. That's why having a plan for downturns is essential. Phon shares a real-life ETF scenario and how, in 2002, a near-retirement couple protected their nest egg during intense volatility using defined outcome tools. They preserved their lifestyle when others were taking major hits. How to balance your portfolio for growth and safety. For Phon, the best thing you can do is to talk to a real human advisor. There's too much DIY noise; professional guidance helps you tune the right mix for your unique situation. Phon on what to ask your advisor: Ask how your portfolio would perform in a COVID-style year or another global-financial-crisis scenario. Then ask how it generates income and supports your goals. His favorite question: "Have you actually guided clients through a deep bear market?" Why working with a professional matters: Many strategies look great and work during bull markets. But the real test is whether they protect you when things are down. Phon explains that good portfolio design is about being structurally prepared before volatility hits. You want a position that holds through downturns—and ideally lets you buy when opportunities appear. Phon's parting advice to the audience: Go outside, walk your dog, and take real time away with family. Getting off screens and into nature helps you stay grounded. Investing is long-term—your life should be too.     Mentioned in this episode: VetaInvestmentPartners.com BlackRock.com/us/financial-professionals/insights/outcome-etfs BrianSkrobonja.com SkrobonjaFinancial.com SkrobonjaWealth.com BUILDbanking.com Common Sense Financial Podcast on YouTube  Common Sense Financial Podcast on Spotify     Alternative investments may be subject to less regulation than other types of pooled investment vehicles.

Tianna, known for her expertise in personal branding, joins LA in sharing practical insights on incorporating video into daily sales processes to maximize leads, appointments, and sales conversions! "You want people to almost have a deja vu experience when they visit your dealership." - LA Williams The episode dives deep into the fundamental aspects of creating effective sales videos, including the importance of proper setup, consistent backgrounds, and expertly crafted scripts. LA and Tianna stress that video content should be concise, personalized, and built around a clear value proposition to engage prospects effectively.  "Making sure you say the customer's name is super important... everybody's favorite word is their name." - Tianna Mick As the conversation unfolds, they provide a robust framework involving key elements like effective lighting, the relevance of a clean camera lens, and the power of personal connection through direct calls to action, all while implementing new technology such as AI in content creation. For the seasoned sales professional and the novice alike, the insights shared in this episode are invaluable for mastering the art of video marketing in the automotive industry!   Key Takeaways: ✅ Using video in car sales increases engagement and builds trust faster than text or audio alone. ✅ Maintain consistency and brand recognition in video backgrounds to enhance authenticity and viewer comfort. ✅ Essential elements of a perfect lead video: customer's name, vehicle of interest, value proposition, and call to action. ✅ Embrace AI technology to enhance video content creation efficiently and effectively. ✅ Practice and iteration lead to improvement; start shooting videos to develop skills and reduce hesitation over time. About Tianna 'T Got Your Keys' Mick Tianna Mick, famously known as "T Got Your Keys," is a prominent figure in the automotive sales space! Celebrated as the "Queen of Branding", with an impressive record of selling +20 cars per month while consistently being the #1 Grossing Salesperson at her store and generating her own leads/business through her TGotYourKeys.com Website. Tianna has established herself as a top performer and innovator in car sales strategies, with a special focus on personal branding and digital marketing.   Revolutionize Your Dealership with Video Marketing: Insights from the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast Key Takeaways Harness the Power of Video: Video marketing is not just a trend but a necessity in modern car sales, enabling dealerships to create personal connections and reduce the fear of the unknown for customers. Optimize the Basics: Setting up a compelling video involves proper lighting, clear audio, and a consistent, clean background to enhance trust and engagement. Script and Deliver Effectively: Essential elements of a successful video include addressing customers by name, highlighting the vehicle of interest, and concluding with a strong call-to-action.   Leverage Video to Establish Trust and Familiarity In the dynamic world of car sales, the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast delves into the transformative potential of video marketing. LA Williams, alongside Tianna Mick, emphasizes the powerful emotional connection videos can establish, setting a dealership apart in a sea of sameness. "You want people to almost have a deja vu experience when they visit your dealership," LA Williams suggests, underscoring how videos can eliminate the fear of the unknown—a significant barrier for potential buyers. The discussion sheds light on how video marketing can simulate a personal interaction, thus building trust faster than written text or static images. With the capability to convey sight, sound, motion, and emotion, videos can significantly enhance customer engagement, making them feel more comfortable and familiar even before stepping into the dealership. Incorporating video tours of your dealership, for example, ensures customers find the environment welcoming and recognizable. Tianna Mick points out, "walk into, like, a courthouse… you're going to be like, where do I go? I'm nervous." This analogy emphasizes how video tours can transform the customer's first visit into a seamless, almost familiar journey. The Essential Setup for Effective Video Marketing Crafting a compelling video requires a foundational setup that pairs well with the content. As expressed in the podcast, without the right tools, even the most well-intentioned videos may fall flat. LA Williams, despite being visually impaired, stresses the importance of proper lighting and camera clarity, demonstrating that the basics of video production are vital regardless of one's abilities. "Top two things for any video… audio, you gotta have good audio, and… good lighting." The podcast highlights that a clean camera lens and a consistent background are understated elements that significantly impact the quality of video marketing. Tiana Mick advises, "making sure you wipe the front and every single one of the lenses in the back," a small yet critical step that improves visual clarity and viewer engagement. Coupled with a customized, dealership-branded backdrop, these elements ensure that each video serves as a professional representation of the brand, significantly enhancing credibility. Moreover, the consistency in video backgrounds, as noted by Tianna, can reinforce brand recognition, much like how viewers associate a television character with their set environment. This aspect ensures that your audience's focus remains on the message rather than potential distractions, amplifying the overall impact. Crafting and Delivering Your Message Creating a successful video is more than just presentation—it's about crafting a powerful message that resonates. Essential to the video strategy discussed in the podcast is the script, especially emphasizing personalization and value-addition. Incorporating the customer's name into the conversation is not merely courteous but strategic. "Everybody's favorite word… is our names," Tianna Mick asserts, highlighting its efficacy in personalizing communication and fostering genuine connections. The video should also clarify the customer's vehicle of interest while subtly integrating the dealership's value proposition. "Providing value and showing why they need to be purchasing with you," says Mick, ensures the video is informative and persuasive. These aspects are crucial in aligning the dealership's offerings with customer needs, driving engagement and conversion. A compelling call-to-action (CTA) concludes each video, guiding prospects toward the next step, whether scheduling a call or visiting the dealership. As LA Williams articulates, a CTA effectively escalates the interaction, encouraging a seamless transition from virtual engagement to in-person attendance. In essence, adopting video marketing as outlined by the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast participants revolutionizes customer interactions, establishing a bridge between the virtual and physical realms of car sales. Employing these strategies fosters enhanced connections, drives customer comfort, and ultimately, amplifies sales success. These insights are indispensable for dealers striving to stand out and thrive in today's competitive environment. By prioritizing video content, dealerships can not only augment their marketing strategies but also cultivate a genuinely engaging customer experience.     Resources + Our Proud Sponsors: ➼ The Millionaire Car Salesman Facebook Group: Join the #1 Mastermind Group in the Automotive Industry with over 29,000 members worldwide.

In this episode, we begin our Advent journey in Eden, a place of freedom, communion, and life without shame. Eden is not only a moment in history, but also an interior garden within each of our hearts. We talk about the deep ache we all feel for union, rest, and peace, and how this longing reveals our original design for communion with God. We also reflect on the shame that often accompanies this desire for communion with others, especially when our desires are left unmet, and how bringing these places of poverty to Jesus opens us up to real, lived communion with Him.   Heather's One Thing - The Renew Conference in Toronto Heather's Other One Thing - Her Advent Worship Playlist Sister Miriam's One Thing - Sacred Anchor Artisans (Catholic Etsy!) founded by Tim and Molly Olsen Michelle's One Thing - The Inspired Living and this Chrism Candle Michelle's Other One Thing - Fr. Innocent Montgomery, CFR   Welcome, dear friends… to this Advent journey, a pilgrimage of the heart, through four sacred spaces where heaven once touched the earth.   These are the places of Advent. Eden. Loreto. Elizabeth's home. And a stable under starlight.   Each one holds a mystery… a whisper of God's coming, a rhythm of waiting, a quiet invitation to abide.   We begin… in Eden — the garden of beginnings and original designs, Here, everything was whole once, every breath in attunement with God's own. But even in the ache of what was lost, something sacred remains, a longing, a promise, a memory of shalom harmony still written in our bones.   Eden reminds us: our waiting is not empty. It is the remembering of love that has never stopped pursuing us.   Journal Questions: What are the unique gifts that God has placed inside of you? When do I experience shame in the ache for communion? When have I recently experienced a rupture from Eden? Who in your life allows you to feel at home and at ease?

In this powerful conversation on the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, LA Williams and Sean V. Bradley sit down with F&I leader, author, and performance coach Adam Marburger to explore what's really happening inside today's finance departments… and where the industry is headed next! "The days where the F&I department is kind of on their own island are slowly fading." - Adam Marburger Adam brings a fresh, servant-leadership perspective to automotive F&I, sharing key lessons from decades in the business along with insights shaped by years of training, coaching, and martial arts discipline. Together, the trio breaks down the real challenges facing dealerships, the evolving role of F&I managers, and the cultural shifts required to build stronger, more profitable teams. "So the question is, why aren't more F and I managers doing the things that we're talking about now? Why are they not taking more tos? Why are they not getting involved? Why are they not being more present?" - Adam Marburger From leadership to communication, from customer experience to the rise of new technologies, this episode offers a forward-looking discussion that every dealer, manager, and aspiring leader will want to hear…without giving away the strategies you'll discover inside. "Jiu-Jitsu helps with every aspect of life—physically, mentally, spiritually." - Adam Marburger Tune in for a conversation that's equal parts mindset, mastery, and modern automotive leadership!   Key Takeaways: ✅ Evolving Role of F&I Managers: Adam Marburger emphasizes the shift in the F&I role from being strictly transactional to focusing on building customer relationships and trust. ✅ Importance of Servant Leadership: A core theme is the necessity for F&I managers and leaders to adopt a servant leadership mindset, focusing on the needs and growth of their team members. ✅ Continuous Training and Development: Effective onboarding and ongoing training are critical to minimizing mistakes and empowering staff to excel in customer interactions and sales success. ✅ Integration of Technology: Embracing digital tools and AI is vital for future-proofing operations and enhancing customer experience in automotive sales. ✅ Value of Jiu-Jitsu in Leadership: Adam draws parallels between his discipline in martial arts and his professional life, highlighting how the principles of perseverance and strategic thinking apply to business success. About Adam Marburger Adam Marburger is an award-winning automotive leader, author of The Servant-Leading F&I Manager: Leadership Refined, and performance coach dedicated to redefining leadership in the car business. With over two decades of experience, Adam teaches teams how to lead with empathy, emotional intelligence, and purpose. His mission is to help professionals create cultures of excellence through mindset, mentorship, and servant leadership.   Redefining F&I Management: Transformative Leadership in Automotive for 2026 Key Takeaways The evolution of F&I has seen a shift from traditional transactional roles to a more integrated, holistic customer-centric approach driven by effective leadership. Understanding the relationship between technology, proper training, and servant leadership can significantly influence dealership success. The application of martial arts philosophies in business, such as Jiu Jitsu, provides unique insights into persistence and strategic growth in the automotive industry. The Evolving Role of F&I Managers: From Transactional to Transformative The landscape of Finance and Insurance (F&I) in the automotive industry is undergoing a significant transformation. Historically viewed as a transactional role focused on maximizing profits through product sales, the F&I manager's position is increasingly seen as an integral part of a cohesive dealership strategy. According to the conversation between Sean V. Bradley and Adam Marburger, modern F&I managers need to embody "servant leadership," where they prioritize the long-term satisfaction and well-being of customers and employees over immediate financial gain. The adoption of a servant leadership model within F&I suggests a profound cultural shift within the automotive industry. As defined in the transcript, "Servant leadership, it is kind of like everybody talks about it. It's action. It's not words." Marburger emphasizes that successful F&I managers actively assist sales teams, engage with service departments, and contribute to the overall dealership ecosystem. Implementing a servant leadership approach involves concrete actions rather than mere rhetoric. F&I managers need to actively engage with clients and colleagues, fostering an environment where all team members feel valued and supported. It's about "truly connecting with people on a daily basis with one common goal: to make them feel special, to make them feel heard, to make them feel valued, to make them feel safe." The Power of Training and Collaboration in Automotive Retail Training and collaboration emerge as pivotal themes for achieving success in automotive sales. As Marburger suggests, training should go beyond basic knowledge transfer, aiming to create a more integrated network of roles within the dealership. A robust training process allows staff to understand various dealership functions, ultimately improving communication and operational efficiency. "A lot of these conversations are flying, conversations where you might be walking back to the conference room together," Marburger notes, highlighting the importance of informal learning exchanges. For F&I managers, this means not only understanding their product offerings but also becoming well-versed in sales strategies and client management techniques. The ultimate goal is to craft a seamless customer experience where value is consistently delivered. Creating synergy between departments, especially between F&I and sales, is critical. The training should focus on equipping salespeople with the ability to introduce products effectively to clients before entering the F&I office. "Our customers actually enjoy buying if you try not to sell them; they actually buy them," Marburger explains, suggesting a subtle yet powerful shift in the sales approach. Martial Arts Philosophy: Persistence and Strategic Thinking in Business The discussion also explores how martial arts philosophies, particularly Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, can influence business strategies within the automotive industry. Practicing Jiu Jitsu requires perseverance, resilience, and strategic thinking—qualities that translate seamlessly into the demands of automotive sales. Both Bradley and Marburger, as Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belts, draw parallels between their martial arts training and business experiences. Marburger states, "The black belt was one of the few things outside of my daughters being born that did give me a sense of accomplishment because I know what it's like. Like, it was hard." This sentiment reveals the patience and determination required in both fields. Incorporating these philosophies into a dealership's operational ethos can foster a culture of continuous improvement and strategic foresight. Employees can learn to maneuver challenges with the patience and precision demanded on the Jiu Jitsu mat. "It added something. It's like, as most people won't ever get that," says Marburger, acknowledging the rare and valuable perspective that martial arts training offers. Throughout this enlightening dialogue, the future of automotive leadership is painted as a dynamic interplay of servant leadership, comprehensive training, and strategic resilience. No longer confined to traditional roles, F&I managers are encouraged to embrace a broader vision—one that harmonizes various aspects of the dealership to create a superior customer experience. The lessons of martial arts underline the perseverance and strategic acumen necessary to thrive in this evolving landscape, reflecting an industry poised for transformation.     Resources + Our Proud Sponsors: ➼ The Millionaire Car Salesman Facebook Group: Join the #1 Mastermind Group in the Automotive Industry with over 29,000 members worldwide.
