The First Pencil
Kathi Kruse and Mike The Car Guy Correra are best friends, with many many years of retail experience in the car biz. "We decided to get together and talk about the things that are important to us in the auto industry, and hope you’ll come along for the ride. We’ll cover auto industry stuff, dealership profitability, and digital platforms, all with a dose of humor and our love for 80s/90s music. Join us!"

An Introvert Walks Into a NADA Convention

Mike gives us a breakdown of the goings-on at the National Automobile Dealers Association convention from his view as an exhibitor.
As introverts, we both share certain traits (that are completely normal BTW) that make large groupings of people (like conferences, conventions) sometimes hard to navigate and are often draining.
In our music segment:
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominations were announced!
Mike and his wife went to see the movie about the Pet Shop Boys: Dreamworld
Check out Gary Janetti on Instagram.
Kathi highly recommends Ozark on Netflix if you haven’t seen it.
Check out Smartless podcast - we can all use a laugh and they deliver every single episode.
