Description

In this episode, my guest is Larry Feldman, a 30-year auto industry powerhouse who's done it all—from award-winning Cadillac sales to dealership ownership and now, transforming lives through recruiting and leadership training.

If you’ve ever wondered what separates a manager from a leader… or how to spot the real difference between someone who talks a big game and someone who actually shows up—this one’s for you.

Larry’s the kind of guy who doesn’t just say the right things—he lives them. He shares what he’s learned from helping dealerships all across the country find their people… and more importantly, keep their people. We talk about:

  • Why good energy always wins (and how to spot it in a candidate)
  • What most hiring managers get wrong (and how to fix it fast)
  • Why leading from the front isn’t optional
  • And how the best managers are more like coaches—with accountability, heart, and a little grit

We even swap some wild stories from the front lines—including how Larry accidentally built a powerhouse recruiting business that’s quietly filling stores with top talent.

If you're in the auto biz and you care about people—your team, your store, your future—then you’re going to love this.
