Explaining ourselves, Ford’s stock bump, Creative Block, and steak lessons

Shoot us a Text.

We don’t have time to waste…it's Friday y’all! Kyle and Paul had a nice long 20 hour day yesterday as they traveled in and out of Atlanta. This means a little extra coffee this morning and a whole lot of fresh insights to talk about. 

• In light of several direct interactions with Dealers, OEMs, and Industry Partners over the past week, there has been a little…er, trouble. We want to set the record straight on the true spirit and intentions of troublemaking. 
•  Ford crosses $100 billion for the first time as stock jumps (up 77% over the last 6 months)
• Why do creative minds start to shut down when making ‘car commercials’?
• A service experience that is worth talking about 

Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.
