Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech TrainingKey Discussion Points:What is Reverse Benchmarking?Traditional benchmarking focuses on studying what competitors do well, but reverse benchmarking involves analyzing what they do poorly and capitalizing on those weaknesses.Two interpretations:Looking at other industries for innovative ideas (e.g., team-building activities from tech companies).Example: Some shops now adopt spontaneous team outings (baseball games, go-karting) inspired by Silicon Valley culture.Staying within the automotive industry to identify gaps in competitors' customer experience or service offerings.Applying Reverse Benchmarking in Auto RepairCustomer Experience:Visit competitor shops (dealerships, independents) and note flaws—uncomfortable waiting room chairs, poor TV choices, limited snack/drink options.Actionable Fixes: Upgrade seating, offer neutral TV content (e.g., Joy of Painting), provide filtered water instead of plastic bottles.Market Gaps:If competitors specialize in European cars (like Seth Thorson's shop), consider specializing in underserved markets (e.g., Asian brands like Hyundai, Kia, Nissan).Focus on services competitors avoid (advanced diagnostics, programming, driveline work).Technician-Level Reverse BenchmarkingIn a shop with a star "R&R tech," instead of competing directly, fill gaps (e.g., diagnostics, electrical troubleshooting) to become indispensable."See a need, fill a need"—position yourself as the go-to for overlooked but critical tasks.Why It WorksCreates a unique value proposition—whether for customers (better experience) or employers (specialized skills).Helps shops stand out in saturated markets by addressing unmet needs.Final Thoughts:Reverse benchmarking isn't new, but it's underutilized in automotive.Whether you're a shop owner, manager, or tech, observing competitors' weaknesses can reveal opportunities for growth.Contact InformationEmail Matt: mattfanslowpodcast@gmail.comDiagnosing the Aftermarket A - Z YouTube Channel Subscribe & Review: Loved this episode?

Implementing Entrepreneurial Operating Systems (EOS) in Your Business with Derek Newcomer   Have you ever felt like you were great at your craft—but struggling to build a real business around it? You're not alone. In this episode of The Profit Answer Man, we talk to someone who lived that exact journey and came out stronger for it. Meet Derek Newcomer—a former fitness entrepreneur who learned the hard way that being a great coach isn't enough. Today, he's a certified EOS Implementer guiding business owners to gain control, clarity, and consistent results using the Entrepreneurial Operating System.   If you're a business owner feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unable to delegate without chaos, this episode is your wake-up call. Derek's story is proof that you can align your vision, structure your team, and scale without losing your mind—or your money.   In This Episode, You Will Learn: Why being great at your craft doesn't mean you're great at running a business. The hard lessons Derek learned about delegation, leadership, and control. How EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) became the framework that changed everything. The step-by-step process he uses to help teams execute on vision without burning out. Why "letting go of the vine" is one of the hardest—and most profitable—moves you'll ever make.   Key Takeaways: Don't Confuse Skill with Strategy: Derek was a top-tier fitness coach, but success in business required a whole new skill set—systems, delegation, and financial discipline. Delegation Requires Process, Not Just Trust: One of Derek's biggest mistakes was failing to train his team with structured systems. He learned the power of documenting what works and holding others accountable to results. Vision Without Execution Is a Fantasy: EOS helped him—and now his clients—translate big goals into daily actions that actually move the needle. Pain Leads to Clarity: Derek's business struggles became the training ground for the financial and operational clarity he now brings to his clients. Entrepreneurs Need Coaches Too: EOS Implementers act as that strategic, outside perspective to keep business owners out of the weeds and focused on growth.   About Derek Newcomer: Derek Newcomer is a Certified EOS Implementer who's guided over 20 companies through more than 225 full-day EOS sessions. With a background in fitness coaching, leadership development, and executive coaching, Derek brings a unique mix of hands-on experience and strategic insight. He combines business systems, leadership development, and personal growth to help entrepreneurs lead well, scale effectively, and build businesses that serve their lives—not consume them.   Conclusion: Ready to Work On Your Business Instead of In It? This episode is more than just a story—it's a roadmap. If Derek's journey resonated with you, maybe it's time to evaluate your own systems, margins, and team accountability. Want help? Our coaching programs are built around Profit First, EOS, and Scaling Up principles that help business owners like you get back control and boost profitability.

BIO: Jeff Holman, founder of Intellectual Strategies, is revolutionizing legal support for startups and scaling businesses. His Fractional Legal Team model provides expert legal guidance without the cost of a full-time team.STORY: Jeff started a cold plunge and sauna business during the pandemic. The company looked great, but he had employee issues, which affected its success. Soon, tens of other studios, brands, and franchises were all popping up within a mile of Jeff's studio.LEARNING: Create strategic alignment incrementally and iteratively. “Create strategic alignment incrementally and iteratively because the business that you're operating today might not be the business that you pivot to tomorrow.”Jeff Holman Guest profileJeff Holman, founder of Intellectual Strategies, is revolutionizing legal support for startups and scaling businesses. His Fractional Legal Team model provides expert legal guidance without the cost of a full-time team. With expertise in engineering, law, and business, Jeff helps companies navigate complex challenges, enabling them to grow with confidence.Worst investment everDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, Jeff decided to find ways to spend his time and invest some of his money. He settled on a cold plunge and sauna business. The spreadsheet looked great, and the numbers were fantastic. The business model followed another business that Jeff had previously done, which had achieved considerable success.Jeff found a local company in Utah that was manufacturing cold plunges at the time and secured a couple of investor friends to invest in the business. He rented an office space and converted one of the suites into a cold plunge and sauna studio.The biggest mistake that cost Jeff this business was hiring employees and trying to get them more involved in marketing. He would help train and incentivize employees, ensure tasks were completed, have people submit reports, follow up for accountability, and more. It felt like he was babysitting his employees. This eventually brought his business down. However, the final nail in the coffin was a proliferation of other studios, brands, and franchises, all popping up within a mile of Jeff's studio.Lessons learnedIf you're part of a franchise, consider visiting other franchise businesses that may not be competing with yours or those a little further away from your customer base to observe how they operate.If you're pivoting your business, create strategic alignment incrementally and iteratively because the business you're operating today might not be the one you pivot to tomorrow.Andrew's takeawaysFind a business that does what you want to do in another state and go work with them for a while.Actionable adviceValidate the business idea you want to invest in well beyond the spreadsheet. Research regulations, test your MVP, identify channels that you'll use to drive revenue, and much more.Jeff's recommended resourcesJeff's journey has taught him the value of seeking expert advice. He recommends holding a strategy call with him if you need legal expertise to scale your business confidently. He also suggests reading Rocket Fuel and Traction: Get a Grip on Your Business by Gino Wickman to learn how to align intellectual property, assets, patents, trademarks, and...

If your guest could've given the same answers on five other podcasts, you didn't lead the interview—you hosted a rerun. And when every guest episode sounds the same? Listeners don't blame the guest. They stop trusting you. In this episode, you'll learn the three host mistakes that quietly erode your authority, why “just letting the convo flow” leads to copy-paste content your audience has already heard, and how to stay in control of the conversation without sounding stiff or losing rapport. Because great interviews don't just happen, and they're what separates podcasts that get skipped from the ones that get shared. So if you want to lead interviews that hook your listeners and keep them coming back (without sounding scripted or stiff), hit play and let's dive in. 

Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech TrainingKey Points & Takeaways:The Problem:A 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee (collision repair) came in with blind spot warning and parking aid malfunction lights on.No functionality in either system post-repair.Initial Diagnosis:Verified the concern (instrument cluster lit up with warnings).Used an aftermarket scan tool (Snap-on Ultra) and found:ADAS control module had multiple DTCs for open/short circuits on all radar sensors.Parking aid module had similar codes for ultrasonic sensors.Vehicle was hit in the passenger rear, leading to replacement of the bumper, harness, and rear hatch.Suspected Causes:Blown fuse (common culprit for multiple system failures).Crushed/damaged wiring harness (common after collisions).Module failure due to impact.Testing & Findings:Checked power and ground at the ADAS module—all good.Inspected wiring harness for damage (no visible issues).Critical Clue: Wire colors didn't match the schematic.Initially dismissed as a common schematic error.Later realized the entire harness was installed backward (left/right sides flipped).The Fix:Flipped the harness and radar modules to their correct positions.All codes cleared except two for the blind spot radars—turned out they were also swapped.After correction, all systems worked perfectly.Lessons Learned:Don't get stuck in a diagnostic rabbit hole. Good techs pivot when clues don't add up.Man-made problems can be the trickiest. Always verify previous work (especially after collisions).Wire color discrepancies matter. Even if schematics are often wrong, they can reveal bigger issues."Slow down to speed up." Rushing leads to wasted time; methodical checks save hours.Final Thoughts:Awareness is key. Catch yourself when fixating on one theory.Experience can work against you. Stay open to new clues, even if they conflict with past patterns.Contact InformationEmail Matt: mattfanslowpodcast@gmail.comDiagnosing the Aftermarket A - Z YouTube Channel Subscribe & Review: Loved this episode?
