What separates an average automotive salesperson from someone capable of selling more than 40 cars per month? "The more you familiarize yourself with the customer, the more you're going to be able to use that for yourself to build your business as a car salesman." - Josh MacPhee In this episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, Sean V. Bradley sits down with Josh MacPhee, a top-performing sales consultant at McDonald Buick GMC Cadillac in Moncton, Canada, who sold an incredible 326 vehicles in only his second year in the automotive industry and went on to achieve a 40-car month. Josh reveals the mindset, daily habits, customer-service strategies, and modern tools that helped him rapidly build a powerful client base. From relentless follow-up and constant availability to using social media as a relationship-building engine, his approach challenges the traditional way many sales professionals operate. "Be kind, be honest, really help people, and care about what they're trying to accomplish in buying a vehicle from you." - Josh MacPhee You'll also hear how Josh transformed his experience working in a skateboard shop into a thriving automotive career, multiplied his results far beyond industry averages, and created relationships that continue producing business long after the initial sale. Whether you are brand-new to the showroom or an experienced salesperson looking to break through a performance plateau, this episode delivers practical strategies you can immediately adapt to generate more conversations, strengthen customer loyalty, and sell more vehicles. The numbers are impressive, but the process behind them is where the real value lives. Listen now to discover what Josh does differently. Key Takeaways: ✅ Building strong customer relationships and offering exceptional service are central to achieving consistent high sales figures. ✅ Utilizing social media platforms such as Facebook and Facebook Marketplace can significantly increase referral-based sales. ✅ Regular and effective follow-up is critical in maintaining customer interest and converting leads into sales. ✅ Working closely with managers and leveraging their expertise can help refine sales techniques and improve results. ✅ Embracing technology and community engagement can create additional pathways to expand a personal brand and reach in automotive sales.   About Josh MacPhee Josh MacPhee is a dynamic and successful automotive sales consultant at McDonald Buick GMC Cadillac in Moncton, Canada. With a notable track record of selling 326 units in his second full year and achieving a remarkable 40-car month, Josh has swiftly risen as an influential figure in car sales. Prior to his career in the automotive industry, Josh honed his customer service skills by working at a retail skateboard shop, where he was responsible for cultivating customer relations and building sales initiatives. His commitment to customer service, strategic use of social media for networking, and relentless follow-up tactics are key elements of his sales approach, enabling him to far exceed the national sales averages within his industry. Josh continues to push boundaries and set new records in automotive sales by constantly evolving and adapting his strategies.   Embracing the Grind: How Relentless Follow-Up and Customer Service Revolutionize Car Sales   Key Takeaways: Emphasize the importance of continuous growth and development, even in challenging markets. Foster a relentless commitment to customer service and follow-up. Leverage technology and team dynamics to excel in sales performance.   Relentless Customer Service and Follow-Up in Car Sales In the competitive world of car sales, consistency is key. Josh MacPhee's story illustrates how relentless follow-up and exemplary customer service can create extraordinary success in an environment where most salespeople average less than ten cars monthly. The approach is simple yet profound: make it easy for the customer and be accessible, whether on weekends, late at night, or even during holidays. MacPhee, a sales consultant at McDonald Buick GMC Cadillac in Moncton, Canada, credits his success to these values. "I just talk so much and create such a personal level with my conversations that they want to come back," explains MacPhee. His willingness to take calls late a night and work during off-hours underscores a broader principle: in a performance-based industry, accessibility can set you apart from competitors. This dedication to being available whenever the customer needs support leaves a lasting impact, evidenced by customers who choose him because he's consistently available and knowledgeable. "You wasted no time to get back to me and talk to me the whole time you were off on vacation," a customer reportedly said, highlighting trust and reliability as cornerstones of MacPhee's successful strategy.   Building a Sales Network through Referrals and Community Engagement Effective car sales extend beyond the dealership floor—into community networking and robust referral systems. For MacPhee, referrals significantly contribute to his sales numbers. "We offer $200 for a referral," he states, a small investment when aiming for a fruitful long-lasting business relationship. Beyond financial incentives, MacPhee emphasizes relationship-building by engaging customers on social media platforms like Facebook, maintaining the connection long after the initial sale. Moreover, MacPhee leverages local insights and community relationships. "If it's legit, think about this: why the hell would you not want to incentivize somebody?" he argues, stressing the value of forging lasting connections within the community. Understanding local relevance, he primes his sales strategy by ensuring his presence is acknowledged beyond the transactional relationship, positioning himself as a reliable advisor in the community. By fostering deep ties, both digital and personal, MacPhee's strategy aligns with broader community-focused practices that drive sustained success. His approach taps into a natural cycle—prioritize existing relationships to expand business, maximizing opportunities for referral-based prospects in a strategy that feeds itself.   Harnessing Technology and Team Dynamics In an era where technology plays a transformative role, integrating modern tools into traditional sales processes offers a distinct advantage. However, at McDonald Buick GMC Cadillac, MacPhee sees a fusion of personal effort and minimal tech dependence. "Artificial intelligence? What do you mean?" Queries MacPhee, indicating an opportunity for technological advancement that complements his human-centric approach. Still, the power of a cohesive work environment shouldn't be underestimated. Through collaboration with managers and peers, he builds a reservoir of sales knowledge and refined tactics. Allying with mentors and learning actively, MacPhee draws from a collective base of expertise that deepens individual knowledge, especially for complex negotiations. "It's important because you're getting a second person in to talk," MacPhee shares, emphasizing the value of team-based sales processes. Such environments promote skill sharing and adaptive learning, as colleagues become resources rather than competitors. Thus, success grows not only from independent initiative but from thriving in a supportive team context.   Josh MacPhee's story champions the idea that diligence, customer engagement, and a strategic approach to relationships can transcend the industry norm, catapulting sales beyond expected metrics. Insights from his journey reveal that relentless dedication to customers and collaborative learning environments can redefine success. Though not overly reliant on modern technology, salespeople like MacPhee showcase the power of grinding hard, building a network, and making each customer interaction meaningful. Through this lens, car sales emerge not as a routine job, but as a dynamic business driven by personalities who exceed boundaries through sheer tenacity and astute connection-making.       Resources + Our Proud Sponsors:   ➼ Podium: The AI Platform Powering the Modern Dealership.

Red, White & Blues FC | 4:45 AM Football, a Set-Piece Guru, and a Plan to Get a New GoalkeeperChelsea are in Sydney, we are not waking up for it, and Xabi Alonso just gave us a reason to root against our own back line.Preseason is here, which means Chelsea are on the other side of the planet playing Western Sydney Wanderers at 4:45 in the morning our time. We open by loudly committing to live stream it and then immediately un-committing, which tells you most of what you need to know about how much stock we put in the Sydney Super Cup. But underneath the jokes there's actually a bit of optimism creeping in this year — a training session that looked like real coaching, a new set-piece coach who might be the best in the business, and a manager saying things a manager is supposed to say. Then there's the goalkeeper situation, where we land on a plan so stupid it might work.Australia at 4:45 AM, and Why We're Even ThereThe tour is Sydney (Western Sydney Wanderers, then Tottenham), Hong Kong, Jakarta, and Malaysia, with Juventus and AC Milan in there too, a Real Sociedad friendly at Stamford Bridge on August 15, and then the season opener away at Fulham because we are apparently never allowed a home opener. Jason's read: this is a cash grab with terrible timing, and if BlueCo would just sell the front of the shirt — four years running now — maybe we wouldn't need to be chasing the Australian and Southeast Asian markets at dawn. Daniel's more forgiving: let the boys go on tour, do some PR, build rapport with a new manager. We check the weather in all four cities like the professionals we are. We also agree that a Tottenham derby in Sydney is not a derby, because nobody out there is going to hate anybody properly.Preseason Expectations: Please Just Don't Get HurtJason's forecast is bleak and specific — one to five players will get injured, they'll be pivotal, and the transfer strategy hasn't accounted for it, because it never does. Daniel finds the silver lining: minutes for the academy lads, Levi Colwill getting his legs back, Cole Palmer maybe getting going, and Estêvão on the pitch. We're missing Caicedo, possibly Enzo, Reece James, Morgan Rogers, and Geovany Quenda, which limits what anyone can actually learn. The bar is simple: don't lose to Western Sydney Wanderers, don't lose to the side in Jakarta. Lose to Tottenham, Juventus, or Milan and fine, we're learning a new system. And if there is one prayer we're saying out loud, it's that Estêvão comes home in one piece.Austin MacPhee Is Here and He's a Glorious BastardThe genuine highlight. Chelsea have hired Austin MacPhee from Aston Villa, the Scottish set-piece specialist who also works with the Portugal national team, whose Villa side outscored every club in Europe's top five leagues from set pieces in 23/24 and finished joint-top with Arsenal in the Premier League last season — the difference being Arsenal shat their way to it and MacPhee does it properly. If this podcast has one recurring complaint over four years, it's Chelsea set pieces. We once lost our minds over a short corner under Pochettino. Hiring an actual set-piece guru, rather than another motivational coach imported to install a “winning mentality,” is the single clearest sign that somebody at the club is taking this seriously. Daniel is now on a mission to find MacPhee's Twitter, ask him his favorite scotch, and get him on the show. Austin, if you're listening: there's also Miller Lite, and you look like a Miller Lite guy.The Goalkeeper Plan (Root Against Your Own Defense)Xabi Alonso has said everything is open, every position, and per Ben Jacobs on the CFC Hub he's asked the club for time to assess the keepers in preseason before making a recommendation. Which leads Daniel to the big-brain question: shouldn't we then want to ship a load of goals in Australia? Jason is fully on board — a preseason loss tells you nothing about the club, but it tells you plenty about the goalkeeper. So, Levi and Josh, do us a solid and let a few in. Underneath the bit is a real argument we go back and forth on. Robert Sánchez is a genuinely excellent shot-stopper — 95 saves, nine clean sheets, statistically a better shot-stopper than Mike Maignan, in a harder league — and the 47 goals conceded says as much about Wesley Fofana's pace, Tosin's one-v-one defending, and Mamadou Sarr as it does about him. But he can't distribute, he can't play with his feet, and every manager keeps asking him to do exactly that. There's a £60m keeper with a release clause sitting there in Diogo Costa who does both. Pay it, keep Penders, and let us stop holding our breath every time the ball rolls back.Estêvão vs. Yamal, and the Photo We Refuse to BelieveWe close on the good stuff. Alonso on Estêvão: “plays with the confidence of someone who's been in Europe for years — age means nothing when the talent is that special.” We both think this is his breakout year and the hype only grows. Jason rates him above Lamine Yamal for one reason: humility. The only off-pitch photos of Estêvão are of him in church; Yamal's are from the club. Not a moral judgment, just a pattern — Messi didn't live that way, Ronaldo didn't live that way, and Daniel's comparison point is Neymar, all that talent shadowed by off-pitch noise and injuries. And speaking of Messi, we are not letting go of the bathtub photo. Why did nobody see that image until the World Cup? We're calling AI, we're calling gaslight, and we're calling for a whole midweek episode of football conspiracy theories where we take turns dragging each other down the rabbit hole.

As a young child, Patrick frequently saw his mother engrossed in a forest's worth of fantasy and science fiction novels. Wanting to join in the fun, he read his first ‘big-person' novel, The Fellowship of the Ring, when he was eight. Although far above his reading level, he pushed through, several hours a day, taking literally longer to reach Rivendell than Sam and Frodo. This magical experience hooked him on speculative fiction forever. In his teens, he was bit by the writing bug and later abandoned a degree in engineering to pursue a degree in English literature. He fell into teaching, first as a way to support his writing hobby/habit, then as a vocation where he was lucky enough to spend every day helping young people become better versions of themselves. Over a twenty-year teaching career, Patrick has taught phys-ed (i.e. dodgeball) to Fortnite-obsessed middle schoolers, the enigmatic complexity of Hamlet to university-bound high schoolers and everything in between. He has learned that almost every part of the curriculum has room for a little humor — sometimes a lot of humor. When he's not writing fantasy and science fiction, Patrick enjoys playing Dungeons and Dragons with his wife and two children and going on long walks in the woods with his golden retrievers, Ciri and Arwen. The Contest, one of the most prestigious writing and illustrating competitions in the world, is currently in its 42nd year and is judged by some of the premier names in speculative fiction. Steven Heumann is a seasoned storyteller with over 20 years of experience crafting narratives across television, film, and publishing.

What do you do when your bike gets swept down a flooded Scottish river, you're soaked to the bone, and miles from the nearest village? Well... you'll have to listen to find out! Kerry is a blazing-fast Scottish ultra racer with deep roots in mountain biking. After racing the Highland Trail 550 for the first time in 2024, finishing just under three hours off the women's record, she came back in 2025 with her eyes set on it. What followed was an absolutely nail-biting race between her and eventual women's winner Emma Bateup (our last guest), with both women pushing the pace through torrential rain, flash floods, and highland bog. In this conversation, Kerry breaks down what really happened out there: from stormy river crossings to the moment her bike got pulled away by the current, and the long, cold walk that followed. We talk about how she's built an off-road racing life while juggling three jobs, her past as an elite mountain biker and triathlete, and how she's navigating what it means to race fast, chase joy, and tell stories that bring others along for the ride.Topics include:Highland Trail 550Racing with joy vs. racing to win, and why it's not either/orFueling, body image, and strength in endurance sportSharing the dots and building community through storytellingWorking three jobs while riding at the top level of bikepackingGet your Detours stickersIf you're keen to give Albion cycling clothing a go, use DETOURS15 at checkout for 15% off your order.Follow Kerry's adventures on Instagram: @kerrymacphee Follow Mel on Instagram: @melwwebbFollow Detours on Instagram: @detourscyclingFollow Albion on Instagram: @albion.cyclingIf you love this show please consider pledging your support to sustain producing this show: https://buymeacoffee.com/detourspodcast

Solidarity takes on many forms but for over four decades one vivid example rose out of a design and print studio in Havana, Cuba. Born in 1966 out of the Tricontinental Conference the Organization of Solidarity of the People of Asia, Africa, and Latin America (Organización de Solidaridad de los Pueblos de Asia, África y América Latina — OSPAAAL) strove to unite liberation movements across the three continents. The Tricontinental magazine and the colorful, multi-lingual posters inserted within became legendary and covered the walls of activists and revolutionaries around the world. Inspired by the intersection of graphic design and political solidarity, the Brooklyn-based Interference Archive hosted an retrospective exhibit of the work of OSPAAAL. Now, publishers Common Notions have released an astonishing and beautiful new book not only celebrating the legacy but inviting us all to explore how we can contribute to this vital work of moving towards social transformation. We're joined in conversation by two of the editors of the book Armed by Design: Posters and Publications of Cuba's OSPAAAL, Lani Hanna and Josh MacPhee.

Well, it took us over 200 episodes to get our act together and make it happen, but it was worth the wait because we're finally joined by our favorite "Queen of Team," Marty MacPhee! Marty shares her background as a member of the "NEI Extended Universe," her training and behavior background at Brookfield Zoo and Disney's Animal Kingdom, and many of the lessons she's learned along the way about teamwork, coaching, and communication. We discuss the changing expectations of people coming in as new members of the zoological field, the importance of active listening, the problems that happen when we overindex on competency to the exception of honesty and empathy, strategies for lowering defensiveness, and the thrill of having a leader that's interested in your success. This was a wonderful conversation with one of our favorite people! References:  The New Rules of Executive Presence by Sylvia Ann Hewlitt First Step to Collaboration?

In our first conversation with different pastors from different churches in the South Bay, Hunter sits down with Bill MacPhee from the River Church.

  Jim MacPhee is a retired Disney legend and renowned author of the book Engage, Inspire, Lead. Starting in the watercraft department on the Seven Seas Lagoon, Jim started with an hourly position and grew with the company, and through mentorship and personal growth, became one of the greatest leaders in Disney history. Jim spent 43 years with the Walt Disney Company, serving the company on both coasts as a Vice President of several parks. Later in his career, Jim led the Next Generation Experience movement, leading to the birth of MyMagic+ and other technology that reshaped the attractions industry. In this interview, Jim talks about navigating life, pushing a wet noodle, and emotional and relational intelligence.   Navigating Life "Define your destination and go. And be nimble and agile along the way." Jim took many lessons from his first position with Disney and used them throughout his entire career. Reflecting on his experiences in the watercraft department, Jim emphasizes the parallels between navigating watercraft and effective leadership, such as finding the fastest path of travel and working together to create forward momentum.  The most profound lesson Jim learned from his time in watercraft was the skill of navigating life itself. With its various ties to leadership and great lessons in responsibility, Jim's first position provided a strong foundation for the rest of his career. Watercraft provided a sense of community and allowed Jim to bond with guests and develop a real understanding of the scope and size of the new Disney property.   Pushing A Wet Noodle "If you don't have great relationships, you've got a tough battle ahead." Jim compares “horizontal work” to pushing a wet noodle, stating that you can't get anywhere unless everybody is on the same page. The team dynamic and leadership system is critical to the success of a project, and it's one of the biggest takeaways Jim found in his time with the Next Generation Experience team.  One of the key elements of a successful project is top box sponsorship and great relationships. Jim compares poor leadership to the Liberty Bell, where a little crack in the top can lead to a massive fissure and disconnect in the rest of the team. Jim knows that with strong relationships and clear leadership, those fissures are avoidable.   Emotional and Relational Intelligence "We had to lead with clarity, unity, and agility." Jim shares that great leaders are built on their emotional and relational intelligence. Being open and vulnerable to feedback contributes not only to the improvement of one's self, but also to the improvement of the team. Jim also shares that leadership is everywhere, and that leadership can't exist without the relationships that we build. Jim shares that much of his success came from the fact that he would get to know people on a granular level, and not just when he needed them to put out fires. By investing in your team and providing an engaging and feedback-based environment, leaders won't have to worry when they ring the fire bell. Jim boldly shares that good leaders engage and inspire, whereas bad leaders read off the pages and direct, and shares that the four cornerstones to great leadership are relationships, influence, knowledge, and credibility.   You can find Jim's book Engage, Inspire, Lead on Amazon or at bookstores nationwide.

In this revisited episode of Beyond the Balance Sheet, we are joined by Nicholas MacPhee, an active philanthropist who has worked in nonprofits for over 20 years. First, Nick explains how he started working in the field of philanthropy with mental and behavioral health. Mental health resources and support services are needed now more than ever; Nick describes how he finds exemplary philanthropists to invest in innovative and unique companies. Tune in as Nick speaks about the importance of scale in philanthropy and why this generation is more active in philanthropic activities.   IN THIS EPISODE:   [01:00] How Nick started working in the field of philanthropy with mental and behavioral health.  [07:15] Resources and support services are crucially important now more than ever. Nick explains how he finds philanthropists to invest.  [13:10] Nick speaks about the importance of scale in philanthropy and reveals some of the edgier investments he's seen from large-scale foundations.  [20:00] Why this generation is more active in philanthropic activities.   KEY TAKEAWAYS:   Americans are becoming more open about mental health, and young generations understand the importance of philanthropic activities that support mental health concerns.  Often as a philanthropist, it's easier to donate to your local university or to local nonprofits that are using innovative approaches.  More philanthropists are always welcome in the world: bring in your expertise, bring in your curiosity, and bring in your money. Thanks to research, you can now intervene earlier when somebody is starting to show some symptoms of mental health decline. For instance, the onset of depression may occur eight years before significant interventions are necessary.     LINKS MENTIONED:   Website https://www.interesttoimpact.com   Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/interest-to-impact/id1549724431   Twitter https://twitter.com/interest2impact   LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-macphee-interest2impact/   BIO: Nick MacPhee has been an active philanthropist and worked in non-profits for over 20 years. A former V.P at Microsoft, he spent 20 years in the business sector. After leaving Microsoft, he helped start a mentoring program for at-risk youth, worked at two family foundations, and served on many boards. He's currently on the Boards of Eisenhower Medical Center in California and Pioneer Human Services in Washington. With his wife who is a family therapist, he co-founded the Behavioral Health Roundtable, a learning forum for philanthropists on mental health issues and solutions.

Hammering session at Anfield as Liverpool make Aston Villa look meek. Two goals from corners (again) and a totally lacklustre display on and off the ball leaves a sour taste going into the international break - but at least we have Evan Ferguson to look forward (Ireland, not Villa).
