One of the biggest challenges founders face — especially at the end of the year — is knowing what to do next and feeling confident that the move you're about to make is the right one. Certainty feels elusive, but the truth is: certainty is something you can manufacture. In this episode, I break down exactly how I've built certainty in my own business decisions, from landing interviews with icons like Richard Branson to reinventing Foundr's business model during tough times, to launching Foundr+ and new product lines with conviction. Certainty isn't magic — it's created through mentorship, evidence, testing, and belief. Here's what you'll take away: • Why certainty comes from seeing someone else do it — and how to leverage mentors, coaches, and proven frameworks • How to combine data + gut intuition for confident decision making • Why most founders act from fear instead of conviction — and how to flip that bias • The “small test” method for validating ideas before you go all in • The example of Poppi: how Allison Ellsworth built a $2B brand by trusting her conviction, not waiting for permission If you've been hesitating on a big move, second-guessing your decisions, or waiting for the perfect moment to take action, this episode will show you how to build real certainty — so you can move decisively and create the outcomes you want. This is a brand new solo series I'm testing, and I'd love your feedback. Email me directly at nathan@foundr.com — I read every reply. Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode Dr. J.J. Peterson, PhD in communications, explains how business owners can elevate their leadership by stepping into the role of the Guide instead of operating as the hero, villain, or victim. Using proven storytelling frameworks, Peterson outlines four core characters, Victim, Villain, Hero, and Guide, and why self-awareness of these roles is critical to effective leadership. Victims lack agency and believe outcomes are beyond their control. Villains respond to pain by inflicting it on others, gaining short-term power but long-term resentment. Heroes work to redeem pain but are often overwhelmed and unstable—especially when leaders try to play that role in business. The most powerful role is the Guide: a steady, confident mentor who combines empathy and authority to help others win. Peterson shows that when leaders stop trying to be the hero and instead guide customers and team members, who are the true heroes of the story, culture improves, trust deepens, recruitment becomes easier, and retention increases. The result is the Badass Softie balance: driven leadership grounded in genuine care for people. Dr J.J.

In Part 2 of my 2026 Fundraising Trends series, we're going deeper into the tools, tech, and leadership shifts that will define nonprofit growth this year. If Part 1 was about strategy and visibility, this episode is about the systems and decision-making that actually make those strategies possible. I discuss upgrading outdated CRMs and donation tools, the rise of AI-assisted fundraising, the acceleration of donor-advised fund (DAF) giving, why leaders must color outside the lines to stay relevant, and how decision speed has become a key competitive advantage for nonprofits. I close with a look at the tech-driven donor experience, a world where frictionless giving, mobile-first design, SMS, and fast follow-up matter more than ever. If you're committed to modernizing your fundraising and leading boldly in 2026, these two-part episodes are your roadmap.Topics:Why Q1 is the perfect time to evaluate and upgrade CRMs, donation tools, and ESPsHow outdated tech silently kills conversion, retention, and reportingThe rise of AI-assisted fundraising as a normal acceleratorHow to use AI without losing your voice, authenticity, or accuracyDonor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are becoming a mainstream giving vehicleWhy nonprofits must “color outside the lines” and break legacy rulesThe need to drop slow, outdated tactics (raffles, auctions, galas) for modern, efficient onesDecision speed is a leadership advantage that drives revenuePerfectionism and committees as momentum killers in 2026The shift toward frictionless giving: SMS, mobile-first donations, automations, and welcome flowsFor a full list of links and resources mentioned in this episode, click here.Bloomerang is the complete donor, volunteer, and fundraising management solution that helps thousands of nonprofits deliver a better giving experience and create sustainable, thriving organizations.

In this episode of the Scuba GOAT Podcast, we follow the extraordinary journey of underwater stuntwoman Liz Parkinson. Growing up across three countries - the US, England, and South Africa - Liz discovered her love of the water early, and a fierce competitive streak in South Africa pushed her to always outswim her friends. As a teenager, she trained to become a competitive international swimmer for Ireland, earning a university scholarship in the US, where new coaching provided a rude awakening and elite training that reshaped her approach to performance.Liz's dive career then took her across the Caribbean, working in Turks and Caicos and eventually at Stuart's Cove, where she got her first taste of on-screen work - even if it meant emulating a squid. She had no idea this was the start of a Hollywood journey, but soon she was called to audition and ultimately move to Los Angeles, where she began shaping the underwater movements of major films. Beyond performing stunts herself, Liz also taught actors how to move, breathe, and perform convincingly underwater, bridging the gap between dive expertise and cinematic magic.Passionate about inspiring the next generation of dive professionals, Liz regularly participates in interviews, panels, and public appearances to share her experience and guidance. She has also taken on hosting roles, including as MC for the Go Diving Show. If you're attending any dive events this year, keep an eye out—Liz may be on stage sharing stories from her time bringing the world of Pandora and the Na'vi to life.Please enjoy.

Thanks to our Partners, Shop Dog Marketing, NAPA TRACS, Today's Class, KUKUI, and Pit Crew Loyalty Watch Full Video Episode Recorded Live at AAPEX 2025, this episode tackles the classic “chicken or the egg” challenge for auto repair shop owners: should the focus be on marketing to generate work or recruiting technicians to handle it? The answer is simple—both. Sustainable growth requires managing two throttles at once: marketing and recruitment. Neither can be set and forgotten. Key takeaways include reframing the role as a high tech career with clear advancement paths, adopting an “always be recruiting” mindset, and not judging candidates by resumes alone. Many capable technicians want to move but are emotionally stuck due to fear, loyalty, or past instability. Long-term retention depends on engagement and making employees feel like part of the business, not just workers in it. Consistency is critical, as marketing and recruiting take time to gain traction and lose momentum quickly when stopped. A shop's website should double as a recruiting tool, confidently showcasing employees, culture, and benefits. Ultimately, the challenge lies in the demanding nature of shop ownership. Owners tend to protect what's working instead of continually investing in the systems—marketing and recruiting—that ensure long-term stability and growth.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1234: Kicking off 2026, Paul and Kyle welcome Damon Lester for a deeply personal conversation about burnout, mental health, and leadership in retail auto. Damon opens up about his own breaking point—and why hustle culture may be costing the industry more than it realizes.Damon Lester shares how nonstop pressure from dealerships, associations, family, and personal loss led to burnout and a mental health crisis he could no longer outrun.The industry's obsession with perfection and constant performance leaves little room for leaders to grieve, rest, or admit they're struggling—often with dangerous consequences.Damon reframes leadership through the idea of “taking the cape off,” rejecting the superhero myth that leaders never sleep, stop, or need help.Practical boundaries matter. Something as small as limiting phone access, removing devices from the dinner table, or protecting personal energy can begin the healing process.The takeaway for 2026: leaders are human first. Titles, numbers, and stages come second—and sustainable leadership starts with honesty and breath.0:00 Intro with Paul Daly & Kyle Mountsier3:36 Damon Lester joins the show4:15 What led to Damon's burnout and mental crash7:27 Why perfection culture is so damaging8:22 What “taking the cape off” really means12:03 Small boundaries leaders can start withThank you to today's sponsor, Mia.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1231: We close the year with the smartest auto industry analyst in the game. Paul and Kyle bring on Steve Greenfield to make sense of a fast-moving 2025 and what dealers should really prepare for in 2026. From tariffs to AI-driven efficiency, this is a clear-eyed look at what's coming and what's controllable.Greenfield says the biggest unresolved story from 2025 is tariffs. Automakers absorbed the pain last year, but that likely changes in 2026 with pressure flowing to MSRPs or dealer margins.Despite political, economic, and affordability headwinds, the auto industry proved once again how resilient it is. Consumers kept buying, and dealers kept selling.Front-end grosses are already back to pre-COVID realities for many brands, making F&I performance, cost discipline, and fixed ops efficiency more critical than ever.AI isn't about buzzwords—it's about efficiency. Dealers should start with the metrics they want to move, then choose technology that directly supports those goals.For dealers and vendors alike, having a clear, practical AI strategy is no longer optional. Investors, partners, and customers all expect it.Thank you to today's sponsor, Mia.

Holiday Replay: Our 2nd Most-Popular Episode of 2025
Every year I sit down with some of the world's most fascinating founders — but this year's interviews hit me harder than most. Reinvention, resilience, copycats, failure, loneliness after exits, scrappy launches, identity crises… these conversations changed the way I think about leadership and what it means to keep building when things get tough. In this episode, I break down the five interviews that had the biggest personal impact on me — from Christina Karlsson losing Kikki K twice and rebuilding anyway, to Phoebe Gates earning credibility outside her last name, to Jake Kassan facing an identity crisis after selling MVMT, to Tori Gill launching a regulated sunscreen brand from scratch, to Amy Smilovic doubling down on community and originality when PrettyLittleThing copied her. Here's what you'll take away: • Why failure is often the beginning of clarity — not the end • Why your credibility comes from what you build, not your background • The surprising emotional cost of a big exit (and what founders don't talk about) • How scrappy execution beats credentials every time • Why copycats can steal your product but never your community or conviction If you listen closely, these five interviews can act as a roadmap for 2026 — a reminder that resilience, originality, and belief matter more than luck, timing, or even resources. This is a brand new solo series I'm testing, and I'd love your feedback. Email me directly at nathan@foundr.com — I read every reply. Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode Becca Zanders, Certified Exit Planning Advisor, explains why most auto repair shop owners are unprepared for an exit—and how to change that. Only 20–30% of businesses that go to market actually sell, and nearly half of those sales are forced by the “Five Ds”: Death, Divorce, Disability, Disagreement, or Distress. Becca introduces the Value Acceleration Methodology, which reframes exit planning into three stages: Discover the business's true value and the owner's readiness, Prepare the leader, finances, and organization to accelerate value, and Decide whether to grow or sell. A key distinction is the difference between a profitable lifestyle business and a business built for value. The conversation stresses the importance of closing the “wealth gap,” as most owners underestimate retirement needs and have the majority of their net worth trapped in their business. Personal readiness is equally critical, with many sellers regretting the sale because they failed to define their purpose beyond ownership.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1231: Paul sits down with Cars Commerce's Brian Kramer to break down how 2025 is ending and what dealers should expect in Q1 2026. The big themes: used car supply shifts, EV-heavy off-lease inventory, and why clarity beats cleverness heading into next year.Used car supply is finally climbing out of a multi-year trough, but it won't look like the past. The next wave of inventory is coming largely from leases signed during COVID-era production constraints.EVs will make up a bigger share of used inventory whether dealers “lean in” or not, driven by EV-heavy lease returns and rental fleet activity. Dealers won't really have a choice.Winning dealers are shifting focus from “look to book” to appraisal volume. If you sell 100 cars, you should be appraising closer to 200—automation is no longer optional.AI search engines are already fact-checking dealer websites against reviews, Reddit, and third-party content. Multiple CTAs, overpromises, or messy workflows can quietly tank visibility.Kramer sums it up with one word for 2026: clarity. Simple workflows, fewer claims, and actually delivering on what you promise online is now a competitive advantage0:00 Intro with Paul Daly2:07 Brian Kramer joins the show4:02 How used car supply finished 20255:05 Why EVs will dominate off-lease inventory6:50 What winning dealers are doing differently9:22 How AI search is changing dealer visibility11:43 Why clarity is the defining theme for 2026Thank you to today's sponsor, Mia.

Émission du 30/12/2025 présentée par Amaury de Tonquédec avec Andrea Tueni, Responsable des activités de marchés chez Saxo Banque. Dans cet épisode de Allo La Martingale, Amaury et Andrea ont exploré un exercice à part dans le paysage financier : les prévisions chocs pour 2026.Des scénarios volontairement extrêmes, peu probables (et encore …) mais à fort impact s'ils venaient à se réaliser.L'objectif n'est pas de prédire l'avenir.Mais de tester les angles morts des marchés, de questionner le consensus et de réfléchir à ce que les investisseurs sous-estiment parfois.Au fil de la discussion, nous revenons sur l'ensemble des grandes prévisions évoquées par Saxo pour 2026 :— Des ruptures technologiques majeures, capables de bouleverser les équilibres financiers établis— Des scénarios de stress sur les marchés liés à l'IA, à la cybersécurité ou aux infrastructures numériques— Des chocs macroéconomiques ou géopolitiques peu anticipés par le consensus— Les conséquences possibles pour les actions, les obligations, les cryptomonnaies, l'or et les grandes classes d'actifs— Et surtout, ce que ces hypothèses extrêmes disent de notre manière d'investir aujourd'huiUn épisode pour prendre du recul, élargir le champ des possibles et réfléchir à la robustesse de ses choix d'investissement face à l'imprévu.

Make Europe Great Again en BNR Beurs slaan de handen ineen. Met Michal van der Toorn kijken we naar het bizarre jaar dat Europa had. Aan de hand van vijf speeches vertelt Michal hoe de Amerikanen in stappen afscheid namen van Europa. Je hoort wanneer de eerste barstjes zichtbaar waren en hoe de relatie ten einde komt. Ook gaat het over de enorme defensie-uitgaven die Europa moet doen. Een kans voor de Europese economie, maar worden landen niet elkaars grote concurrenten? Mario Draghi komt ook voorbij. Michal denkt dat zijn veelbesproken rapport eindelijk wordt uitgevoerd. Waardoor we dus flinke investeringen gaan zien.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Sagen om statsminister Mette Frederiksens SMS'er er tilsyneladende umulig at lægge i graven. I kølvandet på beslutningen om at aflive alle mink i efteråret 2020, lød det, at SMS-korrespondancen mellem de centrale aktører var blevet slettet automatisk. Og at staten var ude af stand til at genskabe korrespondancen. Nu - 5 år senere - kan B.T. og Berlingske bringe nye afsløringer, der belaster forklaringen om, at man havde afsøgt alle muligheder for at genskabe de slettede SMS’er.

In October 1984, as the market for mobile phones was just opening up, one man decided it would be useful if the new technology could be used to send and receive short, electronic messages.But colleagues of Friedhelm 'Fred' Hillebrand - an engineer for Germany's Deutsche Telekom - told him the system's 160-character limit for text messages rendered it "useless".After spending an evening typing-up birthday, Christmas and fax messages Fred proved them wrong, and within 20 years the SMS or short message service had changed the way we communicate around the world. Fred Hillebrand tells Jacqueline Paine how text messaging very nearly didn't take off until it was discovered by young people.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from the death of Adolf Hitler, the first spacewalk and the making of the movie Jaws, to celebrity tortoise Lonesome George, the Kobe earthquake and the invention of superglue. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: Eva Peron – Argentina's Evita; President Ronald Reagan and his famous ‘tear down this wall' speech; Thomas Keneally on why he wrote Schindler's List; and Jacques Derrida, France's ‘rock star' philosopher. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the civil rights swimming protest; the disastrous D-Day rehearsal; and the death of one of the world's oldest languages.(Photo: News message on a mobile phone display.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1230: Paul and Kyle sit down with CMA's Liza Borches to talk people, culture, and leadership. From gratitude for the industry to intentional connection with employees, Liza shares how she's orienting her team for the year ahead.Liza reminds dealers that even during slow months or challenging cycles, the automotive industry remains a meaningful, life-impacting business that provides opportunity and stability for millions.She emphasizes optimism without naivety—acknowledging that 2026 will bring challenges, while reinforcing confidence that teams have the tools and strength to find solutions and grow through them.As CMA continues to grow, Liza's focus is alignment through intention. Her 2026 word is “reach,” guiding both customer engagement and deeper employee connection.On the employee side, she's prioritizing reaching voices that often go unheard—especially technicians—to better understand engagement, workplace needs, and long-term retention.Liza reframes great customer experience as a downstream result of great employee experience, noting that discretionary effort comes from feeling cared for, not just compensation plans.0:00 Intro with Paul Daly & Kyle Mountsier2:51 Liza Borches joins the show3:00 What 2025 revealed about people and culture4:33 How leaders should balance optimism with realism5:57 How CMA is aligning a growing organization around culture8:52 Why reaching deeper with employees matters11:30 How Liza is approaching NADA differently in 2026Thank you to today's sponsor, Mia.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1228: The day after Christmas, Kyle flies solo with Brian Benstock to talk 2026 strategy. Benstock's take: the year will bring “difficulty mixed with opportunities,” and dealers who prepare now—especially around affordability messaging and trade-cycle tech—will be ready when the tide comes in.Benstock is bullish on 2026: lower inflation and easing interest-rate pressure should help affordability, which benefits dealers, OEMs, and the broader economy.He applauds policy moves that reduce EV mandates and questions consumer-subsidized EV incentives, arguing adoption should be driven by product superiority, not taxpayers.“Set up your fishing nets during low tide.” Benstock urges leaders to prepare teams now—process, messaging, and mindset—so they can capitalize quickly when demand rises.Trade-cycle management is the big unlock: real-time equity awareness + timely, personalized offers could move customers like telecom upgrades do—same payment, newest model.The blocker is vendor fragmentation: hundreds of tools that don't integrate, plus “toll booths” that limit data flow. Benstock calls integration the next frontier.0:00 Intro with Kyle Mountsier 1:46 Brian Benstock joins the show 3:26 Why Benstock is bullish on the 2026 economy 7:12 How dealers should prepare during “low tide” 8:36 Why trade-cycle management is the next frontier 12:45 How affordability messaging can grow SARThank you to today's sponsor, Mia.

Aliett Buttelman spent eight years grinding in the dark before a single viral moment with Taylor Swift turned Fazit into an overnight seven-figure brand. In this interview, Aliett breaks down the exact pivot that saved the company, how she identified product-market fit after years of plateauing at $20K per month, and the organic social strategy that now generates over half a million views every day.

What you'll learn in this interview: • How a single Taylor Swift appearance drove seven-figure sales in 48 hours • How Aliett pivoted from slow-growth acne patches to viral makeup patches • The social content framework that produces daily 500K+ view videos • Why aspirational products can outperform problem-solving products • How to bootstrap a CPG brand with limited capital and no agency support • The exact moment Fazit discovered true product-market fit • Why Fazit chose Amazon as a primary channel (and how it paid off) • The dangers of taking bad retail deals and why most founders miss this • Lessons from 100+ VC rejections and how to know when not to raise • The behind-the-scenes strategy that secured a 1,000-store Target rollout By the end of this episode, you'll understand how to build a lean, viral-ready brand, validate demand fast, and prepare for the “overnight” moment that can change everything — even if it takes years of grit and persistence to get there.

“You make your money on the customer, not the acquisition.” In this episode, Sean sits down with Jordan, the media-buyer-turned-founder behind Instant Hydration, to unpack how he went from affiliate marketer—only eating what he killed—to helping scale multiple 8‑figure CPG brands into 9‑figure powerhouses using Meta ads, tight payback models, and a true growth engine mindset. They talk about why red‑ocean markets like electrolytes are actually a signal of demand, how to think about LTV, subscriptions and time-to-second-purchase, what really happens when a founder tries to steal your team, and the wild IP and trademark journey that led to the Instant Hydration brand.Chapters:00:00 – Cold open: “You make your money on the customer, not the acquisition”02:40 – Jordan's story: from almost-lawyer to Facebook affiliate marketer15:30 – Scaling 8‑figure CPG brands to 9‑figures with Meta ads28:10 – Why consumables, LTV and payback periods win over “one-and-done” products41:45 – The Instant Hydration origin story and trademark/IP battle55:20 – Building a true growth engine: subscriptions, email/SMS, and sending it on ad spendPowered By:Fulfil.io.https://bit.ly/3pAp2vuThe Only Cloud ERP Designed to Efficiently Scale 8 and 9-Figure Brands.

2025 has been one of the most eye-opening years of my founder journey — personally, professionally, and strategically. Instead of sharing a highlight reel, I want to share the real lessons that moved the needle for me. Some changed how I think about business. Others changed how I think about myself. In this episode, I break down the five biggest lessons I learned this year, and how they're shaping everything I'm doing heading into 2026. These aren't theories. They're lived experiences — conversations with billion-dollar founders, tough decisions inside Foundr, personal growth work, and some hard realities about what actually drives results. Here's what you'll take away: • “If you don't have repeat customers, you don't have a business.” Why retention is the real engine of profit — and how John Paul DeJoria reframed the entire way I think about growth • Why AI and automation are now a non-negotiable competitive advantage, and how we used them internally this year to compress months of work into weeks • The mindset shift that got me unstuck: When you're stuck, ask what you're avoiding — not what you should do • How to negotiate from power, not panic — and why being willing to walk away changes everything • The truth about growth: nothing great works instantly, and why patience, pressure, and data-backed iteration are the real superpowers going into 2026 If you want a clearer lens to evaluate your own business next year — what to double down on, what to avoid, and what to rethink — this episode will give you the frameworks and perspective to build with intention instead of chaos. This is a brand new solo series I'm testing, and I'd love your feedback. Email me directly at nathan@foundr.com — I read every reply. Hope you enjoy it.

There's a moment every entrepreneur hits where working harder stops working and the answer isn't more hustle, more ads, or more leads. It's realizing that real growth comes from serving better, not shouting louder. That's exactly where this conversation with Brett Fairall landed for me, and it's why I couldn't wait to share it with you.In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I sit down with Brett Fairall, the creator and visionary behind Warehouse Bob, an AI-powered commerce engine that helps brands convert more, communicate better, and scale without chaos. Brett is a world-class conversion strategist with over 15 years of experience in direct response marketing, CRO, copywriting, and AOV engineering. He's worked behind the scenes with some of the biggest supplement, e-commerce, and coaching brands in the world. But beyond the credentials, Brett is a husband, father, man of faith, and someone deeply committed to helping founders build businesses that actually serve people.This episode matters because it challenges one of the biggest lies in entrepreneurship: that growth comes from constantly chasing new customers. Brett pulls back the curtain on how most businesses are unknowingly sitting on massive amounts of “found money” revenue that's already there but leaking out through poor systems, missed follow-ups, and friction-filled customer journeys. Instead of obsessing over more traffic, he shows how to create better experiences for the people who already trust you.One of the biggest takeaways is that most businesses don't have a lead problem, they have a conversion problem. Brett explains how brands often miss 60–70% of inbound opportunities simply because they lack systems to follow up consistently. When you focus on serving the people already raising their hands, revenue increases without burning more cash on ads.Another powerful lesson is that modern conversion optimization isn't about button colors or flashy hacks. It's about behavior, timing, and psychology. Brett breaks down how subtle shifts—like how and when you communicate can unlock six or seven figures in additional revenue. The goal isn't to sell harder; it's to remove friction and make buying feel effortless.We also dive deep into how automation and AI can actually make businesses feel more human, not less. When used correctly, AI allows founders to scale trust, responsiveness, and personalization without scaling stress or headcount. Brett shares how systems like conversational SMS and email follow-ups can feel personal while working 24/7 behind the scenes.Another key lesson is around building before you sell. Brett is clear: stop creating products without an audience. The fastest path to sustainable success is partnering with trust, listening deeply to customers, and building offers that solve real problems people already have. When trust leads, sales follow.Finally, this episode is a reminder that alignment matters. Brett talks openly about integrity, sobriety, faith, and designing businesses that support life, not consume it. Systems should give you more presence, not less. When your business works without you being glued to it, you win at both impact and freedom.If you're an entrepreneur who wants to grow smarter, serve deeper, and stop leaving money on the table, this conversation is packed with insights you can apply immediately. Listen to the full episode now and start building systems that work for you so you can keep Happy Hustlin a life you actually love.What does Happy Hustlin mean to you?Brett says it's leading with integrity, but it's more importantly, finding ways to serve others, serving in ways that nobody really can expect, while also providing for your family and being the man that you should step up to be.

Thanks to our Partners, Shop Dog Marketing, NAPA Auto Care, and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode Recorded live at AAPEX 2025, this episode features Dan Vance, CEO of Shop Dog Marketing, sharing how Artificial Intelligence is reshaping marketing, business strategy, and the auto repair industry. The conversation explores how AI is changing consumer behavior—from lightning fast website visits focused on trust signals to customers using AI for vehicle self-diagnosis and shop recommendations, with AI often presenting only a few options, strong branding and clear communication matter more than ever. In the marketing sphere, Vance explains that attention spans are incredibly short. Website visitors typically spend just 20 seconds looking for clear trust indicators such as professionalism, strong reviews, warranties, online scheduling, and financing options. Visual cues communicate faster than text, while warm colors and photos of the team help build familiarity and trust. Online scheduling continues to grow in importance as many consumers prefer it over making a phone call. Vance encourages shop owners to embrace AI as a “digital butler”—a tool that anticipates needs, explains marketing metrics in plain language, and helps owners show up more confident, shifting from reacting to problems to intentionally driving growth.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1226: We're talking rising auto prices and longer-term debt in the U.S., Kazakhstan's record-setting manufacturing momentum, and Simon Sinek's take on why Gen Z might be the most rational workforce yet.As new car prices have climbed 33% since 2020, affordability is slipping out of reach for many. Buyers are stretching loan terms to eight, nine, even ten years—trading short-term relief for long-term debt.Average new vehicle price broke $50K this fall, up from under $38K in early 2020.Monthly payments now average $760; rising prices and high interest rates are fueling defaults.One-third of buyers now take loans of at least 72 months; some exceed 100 months, especially on pickups.Automakers are lowering prices and leaning into base trims—Ford's Maverick jumped 76% in November sales.Kazakhstan's automotive sector is on a record-breaking run. Through the first 11 months of 2025, vehicle production has already topped the full-year total from 2024, signaling both rising demand and growing sophistication in local manufacturing. With nearly $4 billion in output, the industry is becoming a major economic engine.From January to November, Kazakhstan built 146,163 vehicles valued at $3.9B—a 15.7% jump from 2024.November alone set a monthly record with 22,580 units produced worth $601M, up 25.5% year-over-year.Auto manufacturing now makes up 41.7% of the country's entire machine-building sector, up from 2024.Growth was led by Allur (79K+ units) in Kostanay and Hyundai plants in Almaty and Shymkent (up 26.7%), including those operated by our friends at Astana MotorsSimon Sinek and Garry Ridge are taking aim at the "lazy Gen Z" stereotype. In a recent podcast conversation, the leadership thinkers argue that Gen Z's workplace demands are less about entitlement—and more about a rational response to broken corporate trust.On A Bit of Optimism, Sinek says Gen Z's need for upfront value stems from growing up in a world with "no loyalty from the company."Ridge, former WD-40 CEO, agrees: leaders must build trust and ditch outdated performance models.Both advocate for regular coaching check-ins over once-a-year reviews.Gen Z doesn't want delayed recognition—they want feedback, growth, and transparency now.“I don't want to wait 364 days for you to tell me what I should've done better,” said RidgeThank you to today's sponsor, Mia.

C'était précisément un 3 décembre de 1992 à 18h09. Un banal "Joyeux Noël" souhaité par Neil Papworth à Richard Jarvis... Etrange de le faire plus de 20 jours en avance. Mais il y a une raison. En réalité, ce n'était pas vraiment un message de vœux. En fait, c'était un test. Neil Papworth était un jeune ingénieur anglais qui bossait pour Vodaphone, un opérateur de téléphone mobile. Et ce simple "Joyeux Noël" pianoté sur le clavier de son ordinateur, il l'a envoyé en direction du téléphone de son collègue Richard Jarvis, un Orbitel 90. Un modèle qui pesait 2 kilos ! L'équivalent de 10 IPhones. Ça a l'air anodin, mais ce "Merry Christmas", en version originale, a signé le début des SMS... Dans "Ah Ouais ?", Florian Gazan répond en une minute chrono à toutes les questions essentielles, existentielles, parfois complètement absurdes, qui vous traversent la tête. Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Thanks to our Partners, Shop Dog Marketing, NAPA TRACS, Today's Class, KUKUI, and Pit Crew Loyalty Watch Full Video Episode Recorded live at AAPEX 2025, this episode brings together leaders from Australia's Jax Tyres and Auto to show just how closely the Australian automotive aftermarket mirrors the U.S. market. Featuring CEO Steve Grossreider, franchise owner Dan Spiteri, future franchisee Will Attard, and Autoflow's Chris Cloutier and Craig O'Neill, the conversation underscores shared global challenges—most notably the technician shortage—and the reassurance that the industry is moving along a parallel path worldwide. Rather than chasing quick fixes, the discussion centers on culture-driven solutions: expanding diversity, building clear career paths and succession plans, and advocating for the industry at the grassroots level. Jax's customer-first mindset is a recurring theme, with every team member accountable for the client experience and a strong emphasis on clear communication to help customers understand emerging technologies like ADAS. With just under 100 stores, Jax's avoids multi-franchise ownership, instead holding each franchisee accountable for the customer experience in their territory. The key takeaway is clear: in both Australia and the U.S., long-term aftermarket success depends on investing in people, strengthening culture, and maintaining an unwavering commitment to the customer. https://www.jaxtyres.com.au/ Thanks to our Partner, Shop Dog Marketing Shop Dog Marketing at Shop Dog Marketing.com.

Lured Up Podcast 376: A Ticket For Every Event Live Streamed on - 12/16/25 Publish Date - 12/19/25 The game is overrun with costume Pokémon which has to mean that the Holiday Season is upon us! Are you Team Sudowoodo or Team Charjabug? One thing is for sure, we know Adam will be out catching every Delibird he can find! With two weeks of Holiday events ahead of us, we start things off with a recap of the last week of gameplay including Well Armed, GMAX Snorlax, and Citi Safari events. With the Well Armed's Global Challenges powering extra Candy XL for GMAX Snorlax, Trainers had good reason to get out there and grind over the last week. The Holiday events kicked off this week and brought a GO Pass along with it, but the rewards may not be the strongest this time around. Will a Snom Beanie be enough to sell the GO Pass? We don't think so but Trainers may be in it more for the process at this point. Part 2 of the Holiday Event picks up on Christmas Eve and brings back some past costume Pokémon as well as the debut of the Rolycoly line. The Winter Weekend mini-event opens the GO Pass progression up and adds a Timed Research as well. While Niantic hasn't shared the January Content Update yet, they are giving us plenty of event blogs to get us excited. Of course we will have a New Year's event which will bring back some popular costume Pokémon and some fancy avatar boots to boot. Grookey has been announced as the first Community Day Pokémon of the new year, while Piplup will show up during Community Day Classic. If that wasn't enough of a January preview for you, Kyurem Fusion Raid Day is also on the docket, which will will surely be a strong IRL and remote event. We wrap things up with a discussion about the state of the game, and how even with some performance issues like crashes and dropped frames, the game overall is in a really good state. Trainers have tons of options of how to spend their game time, with multiple mechanics taking Trainers down different types of experiences. One thing we have noticed, is that with increased item and Pokémon storage available, inventory maintenance has become a long and monotonous task that takes up a lot of our valuable screen time.

David Royce went from a broke college kid in a door-to-door pest control job to building and selling four service businesses for nine-figure exits by applying Silicon Valley systems to an unsexy blue-collar industry. In this interview, he breaks down exactly how he scaled Aptive Environmental to over $500M in revenue, created a training engine that produced top-1% sales performers, and built a culture that became a recruiting magnet in a commodity market. For founders interested in recurring revenue, service businesses, systems, or operational excellence, this episode is a blueprint for building a scalable, sellable company from scratch. What you'll learn in this interview: • How David turned a “crappy summer job” into four nine-figure exits • The sales framework that took him from total failure to top 1% in one week • Why following your passion is overrated and unsexy industries create the biggest opportunities • The systemised sales engine and training playbook that scaled nationwide • How he built a white-collar culture inside a blue-collar business • Why paranoia is a competitive advantage and how to avoid the “screw-up phase” • How to structure a company for maximum exit value • The strategy behind selling three companies to the same buyer • How software, gamification, and AI supercharged efficiency and sales • What founders must understand about recurring revenue and private-equity rollups By the end of this episode, you'll understand the exact principles David used to build scalable operations, dominate an overlooked market, and turn recurring revenue into generational wealth — giving you the roadmap to build a company buyers compete for.

If you're dragging yourself toward the end of the year feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and mentally drained, you're not alone. This is one of the toughest stretches for founders — you're still running the business while everyone else is winding down, and the pressure can quietly compound into burnout. In this episode, I share the exact reset strategies I use whenever I feel my energy dipping or my mindset slipping. These are the practical things that help me slow down, recalibrate, and get back to operating from clarity instead of exhaustion — especially during the chaotic final months of the year. Here's what you'll take away: • How to recognise the early signs of founder burnout before they hit hard • The practical reset routine I use: float tanks, steps, saunas, journaling, grounding, and more • Why taking weekends off, booking holidays, and creating downtime actually improves your performance • How to say no more often without guilt (and why doing less is often the answer) • Why founders can't build great things when they're running on fumes — and how to avoid it If you're tired, discouraged, or feeling the weight of the year, this episode will help you reset your mind, rebuild your energy, and enter the new year from a grounded, healthy place — not burnout. This is a brand new solo series I'm testing, and I'd love your feedback. Email me directly at nathan@foundr.com — I read every reply. Hope you enjoy it.
