Podcast appearances and mentions of jason vines

Would you sacrifice your career and reputation to save thousands of people you've never met? Faced with the world's attention, would you tell the truth no matter what? Jason Vines is a PR man and a legend. He was a vice president at Ford during the Firestone scandal of the 1990s, where tire failures caused hundreds of people to die in crashes. He helped make decisions that saved lives, and one of those decisions got him fired. The Ford debacle is just one story from Vines's remarkable career—he also worked at the top at Chrysler and Nissan. He knows what it feels like when an entire industry loves you, but also how a job can push your family to the brink of collapse. We asked about all of it. (Fair warning: He likes profanity.) Driven to Fail is a podcast about what happens when things go wrong. What we do when life falls apart, and what we learn when we try to put it back together. Brought to you by the Hagerty Podcast Network.

FiatChrysler and PSA close their merger deal on Saturday, and become a new corporation--Stellantis--the world's fourth largest carmaker.

Ever since the gas cap dropped on VW and its diesel shenanigans last fall, it seems that the company has been stuck in first gear. Not only has there been no resolution so far, but no one seems to know what’s going on. In addition, the company hasn’t engaged the media very effectively and its customers are still trying to figure out what’s up. Joining John to discuss where the company goes from here and what it needs to do now are Todd Turner, auto analyst from Car Concepts; Jason Vines, Independent PR consultant and author; and Lisa Whalen, auto analyst with Frost and Sullivan.

What happens when “60 Minutes” shows up at a corporation’s door or some crisis occurs that it wasn’t ready for?

It seems like the bad news just doesn't stop for Toyota these days. Millions of vehicles have been recalled, with perhaps, more to come, tarnishing the auto giant's record of high-quality workmanship. Now, members of Congress are calling for Akio Toyoda to testify stateside.
