What an awesome show we had with Bob Lanham on Friday! What were your top takeaways from MRC? In our discussion, we talked about how it's okay to have differing opinions and how this can help us all grow. If we continue to stay in our echo chambers, we can’t grow to full potential. It should go without saying that how we go about offering and discussing our thoughts must be in a professional manner.A few months back, you all witnessed my shoulder go out live on the air. That was a fun episode! What you may not have known is that I have now been dealing with a shoulder issue a year now. For those of you who don’t know, my life before auto was in the medical field, so I had been doing everything in my repertoire and so have my doctors. We had relegated it to “well guess that is gonna hurt for the rest of my life!” Chris is in a networking group with a gentleman by the name of Dr. Joe Ethen at Elite Wellness. Dr. Ethen has this new technology called StemWave that is supposed to be amazing and fix about everything. There are a total of 3 machines in the state of Illinois. The Chicago Cubs have 2, and he has the other one. I was already skeptical! I started researching the technology and saw it was actually legit. I decide what the hell; what’s the worst that can happen? It doesn’t work? After about a month of treatments, I am not saying I am 100% better, but there is definitely improvement.What does this have to do with automotive? If I would have continued to be stuck in my ways and said, “Nope, I know best and this won’t work! I have been doing all these other things for years and they didn’t work, so it won’t!” What if I continued to listen to others that knew nothing about this technology and simply had them reinforce my idea vs doing the research and asking others that truly knew that the technology worked? What if Dr. Ethen never decided to be the first? Going back to Bob and I’s conversation on Friday, are we constantly striving to learn, grow, and not surround ourselves with yes sir/ma'am?Connect with Bob Lanham: https://linqapp.com/bobhlanham?r=linkLet BZ Consultants Inspect What Should Be Expected?️ https://qrco.de/bcqqFoApple?️https://apple.co/3U4KvGASpotify ? https://spoti.fi/3DNNgFIYoutube ▶️ https://bit.ly/3uOZp9mFollow, subscribe, rate, and never miss a Facts Not Feelings Show!Chapters0:00 Start1:53 What was the main takeaway from our conversation and from the Modern Retail Conference as a whole?2:17 Are we living in an echo chamber? Do we push back in a professional manner when we don’t agree or does our silence speak in agreement when on the inside we feel differently? Do we encourage our team to stand up for what they believe? We are not always going to see eye to eye, and that is ok. The question becomes are we then having healthy conversations that grow our industry?3:32 What some may not know is that my life before auto was in the medical field. If you caught the  “Howdy Partner”episode live or on YouTube back on October 7, you saw my shoulder go out on air. About a month ago, I was introduced to Dr. Joe Ethen and StemWave. What does this have to do with automotive and living in an echo chamber?7:55 Do you surround yourself with people that only tell you what you want to hear, or do you surround yourself with individuals who are honest with you, that challenge you to be better, and that have your best interests at heart?#FactsNotFeelings #MovingAutomotiveForward #EchoChamber #PushBack #ChallengeStatusQuo #ItsOkToDisagree #AgreeToDisagree #GoodConflict #StemWave #BobLanham #CarNow #MRC #ModernRetailConference #TopTakeAways #EliteWellness #JoeEthen #Podcast #Automotive #WomenInAutomotive #CarConsultant #CarTalk #CarDealership
