Amid sustained inflation, more high-tech vehicles in the market and tariff-induced uncertainty, aftermarket repair costs are steadily climbing.Vehicle repair costs are up 43% since 2019 to an average of up to $1,700 per visit, according to data provided to Auto Finance News by lender Synchrony Financial.Three factors contributed to the rise, Keith Mait, automotive, oil and gas business leader for Synchrony, told AFN:Vehicles are more complex with more expensive technology;Customers keep their vehicles longer; andRepair shops struggle to find talent.With longer ownership of vehicles, more repairs are inevitable, he said. While customers are willing to get emergency repairs, many aren't willing to pay for preventative maintenance.“Consumers are likely to opt in to the kinds of services that get them back on the road faster and safer,” he said. “They may not immediately agree to do the work that might be proactive.”Synchrony's Car Care Credit Card breaks those larger payments into smaller monthly installments, Mait said.Tariffs to worsen expensesIn a June survey of 1,000 Synchrony's card holders, just half said they could afford an unexpected expense of $1,000, Mait said.“The primary word that keeps getting used is ‘anxiety,'” he said. “Consumers are anxious about not necessarily knowing how this is all going to play out.”The rise in consumer uncertainty comes amid broader inflation and tariff-induced concerns, Mait said. Because parts for repairs are sourced globally, tariffs could “have a major influence on the cost.”“[Consumers] need to maintain a proactive mindset toward vehicle health,” he said. “If they're not under warranty anymore, they need to be mindful of the expenses that are coming their way.”Tune in to “Weekly Wrap” to hear Mait's conversation with AFN Associate Editor Aidan Bush.

For most of my career in neuroscience, I believed the brain alone governed who we are—shaped by genetics, evolution, and early life experiences. I trusted in the power of brain imaging and genomics to reveal the answers. But after decades spent mapping neural circuits, a deeper truth emerged:We are not isolated minds in skulls. We are wired to connect.In this episode, I explore the revolutionary science of interbrain synchrony—how our brains light up in rhythm with others when we're emotionally attuned, collaborating, or solving problems together. Thanks to researchers like Dr. Joy Hirsch, we now understand our ability to thrive may not reside solely in the brain, but between us.As AI disrupts our workplaces and rewires our attention, we're increasingly disconnected—from ourselves, each other, and our natural states of flow. But what if we could reclaim connection? What if the edge we need in this uncertain age isn't more speed or knowledge, but more synchrony?Drawing parallels from nature—like how fish shoal and school to protect, move, and thrive together—I share a new vision for leadership and learning: designing environments where team flow becomes the norm, not the exception.This episode is an invitation to rethink intelligence, leadership, and the future of work—through the lens of relational neuroscience.

Trigger Warning: diet culture, disordered eating, body image. Dating in a fat body is different than dating in a thin body, and is in some ways much more difficult. Our dating culture has internalized the thin preference that is deeply rooted in Western culture, and that preference leaves many people struggling to find someone who appreciates their body and sees them as an attractive potential partner. In this episode, Megan and Steven grapple with this difficult topic and provide data to illustrate the trends and, hopefully, to give hope to anyone who feels that their body is presenting challenges to connection.

Next Level Sales Coaching: How to Build a Sales Team That Stays, Sells, and Succeeds by Steve Johnson, Matthew Hawk Amazon.com Do you remember being "in the trenches" as a salesperson? What did you think of your sales manager? If you're like many front-line sellers, you probably didn't think she or he was a wonderful example of leadership who could inspire you to do your best in life and in work. The unfortunate truth is that many sales managers―well-meaning though they usually are―lack the skills and know-how to help their sales teams grow and achieve greater success. Over a combined 50 years of experience as salespeople, managers, coaches, and executives, authors Steve Johnson and Matthew Hawk have witnessed the do's and don'ts of top performing sales teams. Next Level Sales Coaching is the culmination of their experience. In this book, they distill what they have learned working with organizations like Google, Bank of America, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and many more. The result is a compendium of best sales coaching practices with the power to make any sales manager into an inspirational and transformational leader. At its heart, this book is about how to integrate a person-centered development mindset into sales environments. Readers will work through practical examples, including a self-assessment, to identify the best way to implement strong coaching programs within their organizations. Each chapter concludes with takeaway questions and tips that sales leaders can use right away. From goal setting to daily sales huddles, and sales development training to analytics, Next Level Sales Coaching covers the best practices that readers will want to implement to take sales management to the next level.About the author Matt Hawk PhD is President of B2bTrainers. He was formerly Vice President of Instructional Design, Sales Process, and Training Delivery at Synchrony. He began his sales career at Gartner, selling to technology vendors, and later managed the sales team for US Interactive during the dot-com era. From 2004 to 2017 he sold, developed, and implemented dozens of customized sales performance improvement programs in the USA, Canada, Mexico, the Philippines, India, and Brazil for sales managers and their teams at Fortune 500 companies through the sales training companies he founded, Retention Specialists and Customer Loyalty Specialists. Matt earned his doctorate from Yale University and is a member, contributing author, and speaker on the topic of sales enablement for the Association for Talent Development.
In this episode, my guest is Dr. Allan Schore, Ph.D., a faculty member in the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the University of California, Los Angeles, a longtime clinical psychotherapist, and a multi-book author. We discuss how early child-parent interactions shape brain circuitry, impacting our ability to form attachments, manage emotions, and navigate conflict and stress. We cover how the development of right-brain circuitry related to emotional processing and the unconscious mind regulates physiological responses, influencing adult friendships and romantic relationships. We also explore how improving your ability to listen to the emotional tone—rather than just the meaning—of words is a vital skill for fostering better relationships with yourself and others, and how it plays a role in reshaping brain circuitry. Additionally, we explain how circuits in the right brain hemisphere drive creativity and intuition and discuss activities to access the unconscious mind. This episode delves into how the unconscious mind regulates emotions—both your own and others'—and shapes our sense of self. By the end, you'll have new knowledge and tools to build more secure, meaningful, and impactful connections of all kinds: professional, romantic, familial, friendships, and beyond.
