Most leaders are making this mistake daily, and their team already knows it.

Drew Tutton has built what most people in automotive only talk about at 20-group meetings and never actually create.

Multiple dealerships. Multiple partnerships. A reputation that precedes him across Georgia and Alabama.

But what's driven all of it isn't what you'd expect.

It started on an airplane. One book. One mirror moment that showed him exactly where he was winning and exactly where he was quietly failing the people around him.

He came back from that flight a different leader.

In this episode Drew goes deep on:

• The conversation most leaders avoid their entire career and what it's actually costing them
• Why your top performers might already be looking for the door without a single word of warning
• The hiring signal in the first few weeks that tells you everything you need to know
• What he draws a hard line on that most leaders are too comfortable to touch

And there's one moment in this episode where Drew says something about the person most leaders completely overlook in their building, and it reframes everything you thought you knew about what a winning culture actually looks like.

If something in your business feels slightly off but you can't name it yet —

This episode has a name for it.

What separates thriving dealerships from failing ones? It's not the tools. It's not the leads. It's the culture, and most dealers are building theirs on a cracked foundation.

In this episode of Keep the Change, Bart sits down with Wendy Reeves, founder of BDC Angels and EiQ Performance Solutions, and one of the most connected and results-driven operators in automotive for a raw, unscripted conversation about what's really broken in dealerships today and exactly how to fix it.

Wendy has spent decades walking into struggling stores, diagnosing the real problems, and driving measurable change.

In this episode you'll learn:

• Why a shiny new tool inside a broken process will always fail
• The dangerous gap between fixed ops and variable ops, and how to bridge it
• How to actually change employee behavior
• Why your 70,000-name database is a goldmine you're completely ignoring
• The "trifecta" strategy for driving traffic without spending more money
• How the best leaders activate thinking instead of forcing compliance
• Why continuous learning and development is the most overlooked ROI in any dealership

Whether you're a dealer principal, GM, fixed ops director, or BDC manager, this episode will challenge how you lead, how you coach, and how you build a team that actually performs.

Be honest, when's the last time someone actually challenged how you lead? Not your strategy. Not your numbers. You.

I didn't know Emer Sanabria before we sat down. Michael Cillo told me I had to talk to him. Within minutes I understood exactly why.

Emer spent 20 years in the Marine Corps. He's seen chaos most people can't imagine. And somewhere in the middle of all of it he learned something that changed everything about how he leads, in business, in faith, and at home.

In this episode we get into what it really means to set the temperature when everything around you is falling apart. We talk about the difference between telling people what to do and actually leading them. Emer shares a story that involves nothing but a broom and silence, and it's one of the most powerful leadership lessons I've ever heard. We also go somewhere personal toward the end that I wasn't expecting and I'm so glad we did.

This one is going to make you think about how you show up. For your team. For your family. For yourself.
