Hey friends, welcome back to the show, and happy holidays! Wherever you are, I hope you’re surrounded by loved ones and soaking in the good vibes this season.

I’ve got a special guest for you today—someone I’ve been looking forward to having on for a while. Meet Adam Arens, the owner and operator of Patriot Auto Group. Adam is one of those names in the automotive world that stands out for all the right reasons. He’s built a reputation as an innovator, a disruptor, and a leader who doesn’t just talk about culture—he lives it. His dealerships are thriving not because of flashy gimmicks but because of the systems, people, and mindset he’s cultivated.

In this episode, Adam and I dive into everything you need to know about staying ahead in the game. We talk about the art of innovation—how to balance taking risks with being a “fast follower” who executes flawlessly. Adam also breaks down how his team uses tools like VinCue to revolutionize their used car strategy, from acquisitions to reconditioning to pricing. If you’re still running on the same tech stack and processes you used last year, this episode might just be your wake-up call.

And we don’t stop there. We get into:

• How to create a team that treats your business like it’s their own.
• Why turning inventory faster is more important than squeezing out every last dollar of margin.
• The future of EVs—and why the current tech might not be as permanent as you think.

Adam’s insights are practical, real, and backed by experience. This isn’t just a chat; it’s a masterclass in how to grow your business, outpace the competition, and set yourself up for 2025 and beyond.
