In this powerhouse episode, I’m joined by none other than Diana Lee, the unstoppable force behind Constellation. If you’ve ever wondered what real innovation sounds like—raw, relentless, and razor-sharp—you’re about to get a front-row seat.

This conversation is about so much more than business. It’s about redefining the rules, leveraging true AI (not the watered-down buzzword kind), and what it really takes to stay hungry after you’ve “made it.” Diana doesn’t just challenge the status quo—she obliterates it.

Here’s what we dig into:

• The shocking truth behind paid search—and why it may be quietly bleeding your dealership dry.
• Diana’s bold pivot from managed services to cutting-edge AI that delivers real-time market dominance strategies.
• How data—not gut feelings—will decide the winners and losers in the next 12 months.
• Why too many layers of leadership can kill innovation faster than bad strategy.
• The raw stories of grit, immigrant hustle, and the inner fire that can’t be bought or faked.

Oh—and we unpack how dealers can steal market share with precision, optimize inventory strategy in seconds, and why some of the biggest names in the game may be too big to actually innovate anymore. This one’s part masterclass, part mic drop.

If you care about staying relevant, competitive, and profitable in today’s hyper-evolving auto space—this episode isn’t optional. It’s mandatory.

What if I told you there’s an “AI brain” that knows your customers better than you do—and it's already being used in thousands of dealerships?

In this episode, my guest is Devin Daly, the brilliant co-founder of Impel—one of the most exciting AI companies in automotive right now. We dive deep into how conversational AI, CDPs, and real-time personalization are reshaping the way dealerships operate and communicate.

But we don’t just talk about the tech.

We go way back to Devin’s Wall Street days, trace the unexpected pivot from fashion to automotive, and unpack the wild story of how a single LinkedIn profile change lit the fuse for what Impel is today.

Here’s a taste of what you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why most chatbots are stuck in 2005 (and how Impel’s AI blows them out of the water)
• How a single AI brain can manage the entire customer lifecycle—from lead to loyalty
• The power of an AI Knowledge Bank and how it actually brings SOPs to life
• Why Ford is going all-in on Impel’s technology—and what that means for your store
• The future of AI certification (yes, even your porters can benefit from this)

We also touch on a critical truth: AI isn’t here to replace people. It’s here to amplify your best talent and remove the drudgery that gets in the way of greatness.

If you’re a dealer wondering how to future-proof your store, or you’re just fascinated by how fast AI is moving—this episode will give you the clarity, the context, and the inspiration you’ve been waiting for.

In this episode, I sit down with some of the most forward-thinking minds in the automotive world to unpack a game-changing car buying experience that’s shattering the old-school dealership model.

Joining me are Rudolph Nieto, CEO of MavSign; Preston S., Compliance and Variable Operations at Napleton Auto Group; Matthew Meyer, General Manager at Lexus of Wayzata; Becky Stenson, Finance Manager at Lexus of Wayzata; and Allison, the car buyer at the center of it all.

We’re exploring the precise strategies that are transforming complex out-of-state deals into seamless, frictionless transactions. You’ll hear how one dealership not only secured the exact car a client wanted but also delivered an unexpectedly personal buying experience – all without a single in-person handshake.

But there’s more. We’re also unpacking the hidden risks of remote car buying and the unexpected solutions that can protect your identity, elevate the customer experience, and streamline operations for dealers.

If you’ve ever wondered how the best in the business handle out-of-state transactions, navigate compliance, and build trust in a digital-first market – this is the episode you can’t afford to miss.
