Mike Lusso is a seasoned engineer at Coats Company in Nashville, Tennessee, specializing in tire changers, wheel balancers, lifts, and alignment machines. A lifelong gearhead with a passion for modifying cars, Mike channels his love for the automotive space into leadership roles, most notably as Chair of the WTSBC, a leading automotive industry council under SEMA. Through his volunteer work, Mike helps shape best practices and raise industry standards across the wheel, tire, suspension, and brake sectors. In this episode… If you've ever wondered what real influence looks like behind the scenes of the automotive aftermarket, look no further than the automotive industry council known as WTSBC (Wheels, Tires, Suspension, Brakes Council) under SEMA. In this episode of the Gain Traction Podcast, host Mike Edge sits down with WTSBC Chair Mike Lusso to unpack the vital; yet often overlooked role that industry councils play in shaping the future of auto repair and tire service. From data access to networking, from fitment guides to leadership opportunities, this is where real progress happens. Mike explains how he first got involved (spoiler: it starts with a free lunch ticket), and why shop owners, engineers, and suppliers alike should consider participating. It's not just a resume booster, it's a direct line to decision-makers, early tech adopters, and industry-shaping initiatives. Whether you're running a five-bay shop or managing dozens of locations, joining an automotive industry council gives you the insider edge you can't Google. What You'll Learn in This Episode [01:37] How Mike was recruited into the WTSBC at a trade show [03:29] Why every shop owner and tire dealer should consider joining a SEMA council [05:51] Examples of the educational resources the council provides (fitment posters, torque specs, bolt pattern data) [06:40] Mike's leadership timeline: From co-chair to chair [07:30] Strategic goals for the WTSBC in the next 1, 3, and 5 years [10:15] How to sign up for the council through SEMA or Gain Traction [13:07] Mike's background in engineering and the automotive aftermarket Resources mentioned in this episode: Mike Lusso LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-lusso-engprofile/ SEMA Website https://www.sema.org/ SEMA Garage Detroit https://www.sema.org/get-involved/councils-networks/ettn/sema-garage-detroit-benefits-get-your-product-market SEMA Data https://www.semadata.org/ Gain Traction Podcast Episode #179: How To Build a Culture While Scaling Fast with Logan Leslie https://gaintractionpodcast.com/how-to-build-a-culture-while-scaling-fast-with-logan-leslie/ Tread Partners https://treadpartners.com/ Gain Traction Podcast https://gaintractionpodcast.com/ Why Join an Automotive Industry Council?

Just as the Chiefs were preparing to open training camp, several personnel matters were decided. The Chiefs made Trey Smith the NFL's highest paid guard with a four-year deal worth $94 million, and a few days later the team locked up defensive end George Karlaftis with a similar contract. Also, the Chiefs likely will soon know about the status of wide receiver Rashee Rice when it comes to the NFL's personal conduct policy. Rice was sentenced to five years probation and 30 days jail time for his role in a chain reaction car crash in Dallas last year. Now, Rice and the team await word from the NFL on a suspension. On SportsBeat KC, The Star's sports podcast, Chiefs beat writer Jesse Newell broke down the recent news and the ramifications for the team bidding to reach a fourth straight Super Bowl as training camp opens at Missouri Western State University this week.
