Alright, keep the changers, let me just say… you’re going to want to buckle up for this one because this episode of Keep the Change is nothing short of legendary. And by “legendary,” I mean you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you might just rethink how you’re showing up in your life and leadership.

This week, I’m sitting down with Bruce Miller—someone who could write the book on perseverance (seriously). If you don’t know Bruce, here’s the quick 411: Bruce isn’t just your average guest. Nope. He’s a leader, a fighter, a human bulldozer of positivity, and someone who’s lived through challenges most of us can’t even imagine. We’re talking overcoming a tough upbringing, crushing it in the car biz, and leading teams with a perfect balance of "drill sergeant meets life coach." Oh, and did I mention? He’s been living with terminal cancer for over a decade and STILL manages to attack life with the energy of a thousand Red Bulls.

And let me tell you, his “all gas, no brakes” mindset is going to leave you inspired, fired up, and maybe questioning if you’ve been hitting snooze on your potential.

Because if there’s one thing Bruce reminds us, it’s this: life’s challenges don’t define us—how we rise above them does.

Let me ask you something. Have you ever felt like there’s a gap between who you want to be as a leader and what you’re actually doing day-to-day? Or maybe you’re just looking for ways to connect more deeply with the people you lead—at work, in life, or anywhere in between?

If that’s you, this episode is exactly what you need.

I sat down with my buddy Joe Trasser, and let me tell you, this guy has a perspective that will challenge and inspire you. Joe runs Arizona BioCleaning, dealing with the kind of work most of us never think about—cleaning up after crime scenes, hoarding situations, and even drug remediation. It’s heavy stuff, but here’s the thing: Joe isn’t just cleaning spaces; he’s helping people rebuild their lives.

In this episode, we didn’t just talk about business; we got real about leadership—what it means to truly show up for your people. Joe shared stories that had me nodding along like, "Yep, I’ve been there," and insights that’ll make you rethink how you lead, whether you’re running a business, a team, or even your own household.

Here’s why you’ll love this one:

• Joe breaks down how authenticity is the secret sauce for building trust and connection. (Seriously, this is a game-changer.)
• We talk about the power of knowing your team’s strengths—and their struggles. Because leadership isn’t just about getting results; it’s about helping people thrive.
• And if you’ve ever wondered how the lessons from recovery translate to leadership, this episode will blow your mind.

This isn’t just a “business talk”—it’s a conversation about being human. And I think that’s why it hit me so hard. It’s raw, it’s relatable, and it’ll leave you with the kind of takeaways you can actually use, starting today.

So, here’s the deal: if you care about making a real difference in the lives of the people you lead—and yeah, in your own life too—then do yourself a favor and listen to this one. I promise, you’ll walk away feeling inspired, equipped, and ready to lead with more heart.

First off, can I just say THANK YOU for hanging in there with me? This one’s dropping a little late (life threw a curveball at my family), but guess what? We’re back, we’re blessed, and we’re rolling forward.

Now, this episode? it’s a special one. I’m diving into a topic that I KNOW will change the game for your dealership: developing your people. Let’s be real—managing tasks is easy, but creating future leaders? THAT’S where the magic happens. And I’m here to tell you, it’s the secret sauce to building a team that sticks, thrives, and crushes the competition.

I’ll break down John Maxwell’s Five Levels of Leadership—yep, we’re revisiting the classics, but with some fresh, real-world dealership wisdom you can use TODAY.

And guess what? It’s not rocket science. I’ll show you how ONE simple habit—yep, just one—can take your leadership and your dealership to the next level. Plus, I’ve got some fun stories, practical tips, and my favorite strategies to help YOU make this shift without losing your mind (or your weekends).

Oh, and because I love my podcast family, I’m offering a 15-minute complimentary coaching session to the first 15 listeners who reach out. Seriously, no catch—just me, you, and a Zoom link talking about how to make your leadership unstoppable.

So, grab your coffee and let’s jump in. This one’s all about creating the kind of culture where your team wants to stay, grow, and WIN.
