I'm not always sure where or why the thoughts come to me, but this is important for someone out there in our industry today:

Do Not Sign A Non-Compete!

They have nearly ruined too many lives and limit your options, all while keeping their people on when they want/need to leave.

Don't take the bait.
Don't take lightly today that which could be life-altering tomorrow.

That's all.
Now go back to your happy Saturday.
Remember- I want them ALL to be happy. ;)

You would be happy, too.
And fulfilled- which has been our recent theme.
You would be happy, fulfilled, inspired, motivated and committed to 'disrupting' the way to greater Leadership throughout our industry if you saw what I did every day.

My clients- Individuals and Companies- are highly talented, principle-driven, people first, high performers who will never settle for status quo.

These are the people who are already shaping 'what's next' in Automotive with their Services, Culture, Customer Experience and Outstanding Value and Innovation to the market.

You would be happy when you saw the progress...and know they trusted you to achieve their biggest goals.

On the edge of this weekend, I want you to know that your WAGs can become your reality. We are truly thrilled to help you get the strategy in place, get the momentum going and get your Team and Clients onboard to help you go...farther, faster.

Genuine smiles come from the soul, not from the face.
Keep dreaming and planning and we'll be there to bring it all home.

On Riding the Disruption Rollercoaster to Success.

We've all heard the story. Blockbuster had the chance to purchase Netflix for $50 million.
They laughed.
The joke was on them.
Now there is 1 BlockBuster store and no brick + mortar #Netflix has a valuation of $150 Billion...that's Billion with a B.

What we don't hear is the struggle, the early challenges and the reason Reed Hastings asked for $5o million for the alliance- was the $50 million reflected the money they were currently...in DEBT. I missed that part.

Their breakthrough was to keep going.

Like Marc Randolph says here, "Sometimes the only way out, is through." Wise words that fortunately he remembered when it seemed impossible.

I am hopeful that whatever it is this Friday, this season, you are facing, you begin to see the path 'through'. It's often easier when you have a partner or a guide.

We partner with today's highest performing Executives have their next break 'through' every day.

Whatever it is you want, it's there, and we will discover streamlined paths to get there safely, enjoyably and with confidence.

Just like our friends at Netflix, we aren't going to give up.
We are going sleeves up!

Your next great success story is a call away.

Due to their potential value, their is a small charge.
What I would love most is to see these used and lived out.

🏊How Lessons I'm Learning for My 19 Mile Swim in the Hudson River Can Help You Win with Programmatic Media🏆
Enjoy and learn from my colleague, Shane Stender 🌊

"As many of you know, I am one of those people who enjoys a challenge.

After participating in multiple Ironman events, there was something quite different that showed up on my radar.

🏊A swim.
🏊🏊A Big Swim.
🏊🏊🏊A 19 MILE swim on the Hudson River to be exact!

Have I swam before? Yes✅
Am I a decent swimmer? Sure🤷‍♂️

🤔But do I currently have the skills needed for a swim of this magnitude where tides, temperature, duration, a team, a greater financial contribution and 100s of hours of training were all going to be required if I even had a chance?

❌Absolutely not.
Yet, I still wanted to explore it further.

As with any new challenge, I quickly dove in to the deep end of the pool to learn more about what I already had seen and uncover the unknown.

🎙️As I prepared to teach Programmatic Media to our Dealers, it occurred to me there were powerful correlations in these effort. And my Dealer friends didn't have to get wet!

💸Our Dealer Partners have been advertising, most likely into the millions of dollars over time for many year. Yet, for all of their experience, this new platform requires deeper training, much like my 19 mile swim.

📈I decided to share the 4 step 'AIDE method' I learned to help me move forward, faster and intentionally whether I'm training or learning how I can help my company and our clients with something new.

🎯Awareness: You have to know something even exists. Stay alert!

🎯Intention: You have to commit to continuously expanding and deepening your knowledge to equip you for conversations with your team and vendors.

🎯Discovery: Ask for or locate resources you can trust to learn more, with increased accuracy and clarity. Also seek to know where, when and how this will help you and your clients.

🎯Expectations: Now that you have learned more, set timelines and milestones for how you will deliver on your new knowledge of PM or any topic.

That's our AIDE method? Not too hard, right?!

Now that I've given you this platform to get started, you're ready for the next step:
👉Part 2: Risks and Rewards

Thanks for joining me on my journey and if you're planning to attend David Kain's Clients and Friends in Lexington, KY I will see you there.

In the meantime, follow me and watch for Part 2 of our 3-part series on Winning with Programmatic Media."

What exactly is Programmatic Media and how do lessons learned in preparing for a 19 mile swim help you win?

Over the next few weeks, Shane Stender 🌊, Managing Partner of SilverBack Advertising, will share his insights on how he became an industry thought leader on the power of Programmatic Media.

Stay tuned and start following Shane today to learn from his journey.
