I’m writing this as the week of the 50th Anniversary of Apollo 11 comes around. I feel the need to talk about Astronauts and their views and opinions. On life, on the world and above all on what we’re doing with our home right now. We can learn a lot from taking a high level […]
“With All Due Respect” – Yeah Whatever Dude.

How to Sell Cars as a Salesman In Today’s Digital Marketplace
A lot has changed since I left behind the retail car sales industry. And yet so many things are still the same.

In my view, Sebastien Loeb is probably the world’s greatest competition driver. Certainly of the last three decades, quite possibly ever. So what? You’re not really into cars and driving and you’re about to stop reading? Give this one a little more time and read a little further. What can you learn from Loeb? After […]
