Shoot us a Text.Episode #1100: Franchised dealerships saw a 22% profit surge in Q2, led by strong gains in import and domestic brands. Ford unveiled a high-tech electric Bronco, but it's only for China. Meanwhile, Tesla opened its retro-style diner and drive-in in Hollywood, complete with Superchargers, rooftop views, and robot service.Franchised dealerships saw a big jump in net profits this quarter as customers rushed to buy before tariffs hit, according to the Q2 2025 Presidio-NCM Benchmark. Profit gains came with a small asterisk because of the big cybersecurity hit last year. However this does mark the first quarterly improvement in domestic brands in three years.Average franchised dealerships posted a 22% net profit increase year-over-year, helped by both import and domestic brand gains.Import stores led with a 34% profit rise, luxury stores up 32%, and domestic stores rebounded 24% for the first time since 2022.New-vehicle gross profit per unit rose 6.1% from Q1 2025 to $2,128, reversing a multi-year decline.Used-vehicle gross profit climbed 11%, while finance and insurance income increased 5.6%, supporting overall revenue growth to $22 million per dealership.“Sustained profitability will come from a focus on fundamentals and a willingness to adapt as market conditions continue to evolve,” said Paul Faletti, CEO of NCM Associates.Ford has built a fully electric Bronco SUV with some impressive specs like 403-mile range, advanced EV tech, including lidar and 30+ sensors for semi-autonomous driving, and a heavier/smoother ride but there's a catch… it's only coming to ChinaThe Bronco New Energy offers two powertrains: a full electric with a 105 kWh battery and an extended-range hybrid (EREV) combining a 43.7 kWh battery with a 1.5L gas generator.The hybrid version can cover up to 800 miles total, with 137 miles purely on battery before the gas engine kicks in.The SUV is big and heavy—nearly 5,800 pounds and almost 9 inches longer than the gas Bronco—providing a planted ride but potentially slower cornering.Ford's smart cabin includes unique modes like “naps, pets, camping overnight” designed for comfort and convenience.Tesla's new Diner and Drive-In in Hollywood is ready to serve nostalgia and innovation side by side. Opening July 21, 2025, this retro-futuristic spot combines classic diner vibes with 75 Tesla Supercharger stalls and even features a Tesla Optimus robot.The two-story, saucer-shaped diner sits on historic Route 66 and offers 9,300 sq ft including a rooftop bar with panoramic views.Classic movies and SpaceX launch footage play on two massive LED screens syncing audio to your Tesla's stereo for a true drive-in experience.Tesla owners get exclusive perks like in-car touchscreen ordering and carhop service on roller skates delivering diner classics served in Cybertruck-themed packaging.Charging supports up to 250 kW for Models S, 3, X, Y, aJoin 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/

PepsiCo (PEP) rallied on today's earnings, with Alexis Browne Roberts noting a "surprisingly resilient" consumer lifting the numbers.

Dale Smothers still sees the stock as a strong dividend play.

Since 2008, Sawyer has donated over 90% of its profits annually, working alongside 40 charities in 80 countries and transforming the lives of more than 28 million people. Kurt shares the trials, pivots, and timeless business truths that took Sawyer from struggling startup to global leader, while holding firmly to a purpose-driven, people-first legacy. Dive into this deep-dive on the intersection of profit, philanthropy, and disruptive innovation—and discover how unconventional thinking, mastery of business math, and service create waves of positive impact you can replicate in your own business. What We Discuss in This Episode Did you imagine Sawyer would have such a global impact from the start? Persevering through failure: What really happens before overnight success?

Overnight Success Takes Decades – True impact often follows years of trial, learning, and perseverance. Changing the World Means Changing Behavior – Selling great products isn't enough; teaching people how to use and benefit from them is essential. Creative Destruction Drives Lasting Growth – Businesses must embrace constant change in laws, culture, and technology to thrive. Future-Proof Skills Are Decision-Driven – With AI taking over analysis, the most valuable skill will be high-level decision-making—learn how to think, not just what. Hiring for Thinking, Not Just Doing – Assess candidates' real-world logic, not just their credentials; team diversity in thinking styles is critical. Find Profit In the Denominator – True profitability usually comes from reducing capital investment and inventory, not just upping your sale price. Keep Your Equity—Use Vendor Financing and Loans – Giving away business equity isn't necessary and often isn't in investors' best interests; be creative about funding. Bake Legacy Into Your Foundation – Transformational businesses write their values, model, and succession plans into their DNA—plan to outlast yourself. Generosity Multiplies Results – Paying employees well, leading with purpose, and putting others first creates loyalty, quality, and joy throughout an organization. Favorite Quotes “You've got to change behavior. You can give them a product, but if they don't change behavior, they're not going to use the product.” “Profits are made in the denominator, not the numerator… margins are hard to increase, but investment can be reduced.” “There are no U-Hauls in heaven—it's not about the money. We're making too much change to sell out.” Explore how you can boost profits, change lives, and leave a legacy—with insights you can put to work in your business today.

In this episode, I'm diving into a conversation that might annoy some people, but it's a conversation that needs to be had. We've got a leadership crisis in our industry. Not because people don't care, but because too many salon owners don't realise what they signed up for when they opened their doors. Leadership isn't optional. It's the job.This episode is for every salon owner who wants their team to succeed but feels stuck, frustrated, or just plain exhausted. I'll break down why so many stylists aren't earning what they could be and why that's partially due to the leadership (or lack of it) they're working under. If you want a business that thrives and a team that sticks around, this one's for you.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00] Intro and recap of episode 291[02:15] The leadership gap that's hurting our industry[03:01] Why poor leadership creates poor productivity and pay[04:22] The difference between wanting to be paid more and earning more[06:45] The uncomfortable truth: it is about money[07:17] When the tail is wagging the dog, owners who've lost control[09:59] What real leadership looks like in successful businesses[11:42] Why people will leave and why that's okay[13:39] Leading by example (not micromanaging)[15:30] Why we avoid leadership and why it's still worth itWant MORE to help you GROW?
The diagnosis you never want to hear from your accountant: your business is an expensive hobby! Instead of creating profit and freedom that supports you to live your life, it might feel more like it's taking over and keeping you from what you really want to be doing… right? If you've ever wondered what profitable businesses are really doing differently - or if you just wish finances felt a little less intimidating - this episode is made for you. This week, I'm sitting down with Tana Kramer, profitability consultant and founder of TK Solutions. Tana isn't your typical finance expert. She's warm, energetic, and passionate about helping women design businesses that actually fund the life they want - whether that's more freedom, more time, or even travelling the country with an RV (yep, she's done it!). With decades of experience across industries from content creation to wellness clinics, Tana knows exactly where business owners get stuck…and how to help them get clear and confident with their numbers. Here's a taste of what we're unpacking in this conversation: Why does profitability matter far more than just “making money” - and what's the real difference between revenue goals and profit goals? What's a profitability consultant actually do that your accountant doesn't - and how can this relationship transform your business decisions (and your stress levels)? How do you start identifying the hidden leaks or outdated activities that might be draining your profit (and your energy) without you even realising it? What are some easy, non-scary routines to build your confidence with finances - even if spreadsheets make you want to run and hide? How did Tana build a flexible, location-independent business - without sacrificing client results (and what practical steps can you take to do the same)? Ready to lighten the mental load, banish the overwhelm, and start seeing your business produce the income you know is possible? Tune in for practical tips, warm encouragement, and stories that might just inspire your next big step. Listen in - I promise, finance can be fun!

Business coach Angie Callen shares how creative entrepreneurs can overcome perfectionism and imposter syndrome by embracing authenticity, focusing on serving clients rather than impressing peers, and implementing practical time and energy management strategies. Key Takeaways Successful entrepreneurship is 80% mindset and 20% everything else - being willing to get vulnerable and step in front of the camera is essential for video pros who want to build trust Focus on creating content for your potential clients rather than worrying what your peers will think - "generosity is the opposite of comparison" and collaboration beats competition Manage both your time AND energy by implementing theme days, time blocking, and scheduling your most challenging tasks during your peak energy hours About Angie Callen Angie Callen is an award-winning coach, international speaker, and obsessive entrepreneur who loves empowering others to lead amazing lives with thriving careers, all while embracing authenticity. She's a Carnegie Mellon graduate and former engineer known for her strategic, analytical, yet creative approach to marketing, sales, and business growth.

[06:33] Meet Angie Callen [08:11] Having a Healthy Mindset [12:23] Imposter Syndrome [16:46] Overcoming Perfectionism with Action [27:33] Authenticity [39:08] Preventing Burnout [43:11] Energy Management [44:10] Connect with Angie [45:30] Outro Quotes "Perfectionism is a procrastination technique, y'all. Perfectionism will hold you back more than it will push you forward, especially in entrepreneurship... The best antidote to the imposter syndrome is action." - Angie Callen "Your relationship, your personal relationship, your spouse, the person you choose to do life with will have just as much, if not more impact on the success of your business as you, because if you do not have a supportive one, you will not be successful." - Angie Callen "I think successful entrepreneurship is 80% mindset and 20% everything else. Because if your headspace isn't there and you don't have a little of that grit and a little of that conviction around what you're doing, the roller coaster of ups and downs... is going to make you real sick real fast." - Angie Callen "From a bigger picture strategy perspective, focus on one thing at a time, chunk it down because growing a business is a giant amorphous blob that is really hard to make sense of." - Angie Callen Guest Links Find Angie Callen online Listen to the No More Mondays podcast Learn more about The Modern Coach community Follow Career Benders on Instagram | Facebook Follow Angie Callen on Instagram Links Stop hiding and start showing up; learn more about the Video Cohort Join the Grow Your Video Business Facebook Group Follow Ryan Koral on Instagram Follow Grow Your Video Business on Instagram Check out the full show notes

Daily Study: What holds most Christians in business back from maximal success is this nagging question in the back of their mind: Is pursuing money okay? This uncertainty has them charging less money than they should or wanting to give their products and services away for free. Due to worldly and churchly pressures, we are inundated with messages that say making money is bad, from Hollywood to the Pulpit. They see the pursuit of profit in business as a necessary evil at best, and at worst they see pursuing profit as taking from society and the poor. There are very few things that the world and the church agree on, and it seems like that they both have deemed pursuing profit as bad. However, this thought process will hold you back from fulfilling what God has called you to do in business.

A Florida pastor offers a truly divine "testimony" of receiving a hefty $10,000 gift, allegedly for his fervent political endorsements, raising all sorts of holy hell about the blurred lines between pulpit and politics. This "blessing" isn't for charity, mind you, but for his personal coffers, sparking debate on whether this is divine intervention or just good old-fashioned grifting. Join us as we dissect this unholy union of faith and finance, exposing the alarming trend of religious organizations exploiting their tax-exempt status for personal and political gain, proving yet again that for some, the pursuit of earthly riches trumps spiritual integrity. It's a sermon on the mount of money, leaving us to wonder: is this divine prosperity, or just a new level of religious scam?.News Source: MAGA Pastor Brags About Receiving $10,000 For Supporting Trump By Black Information Network for BIN: Black Information Network June 23, 2025
