Keep The Change: Recent Episodes

Bart Nollenberger

Keep The Change is a podcast that explores the personal stories of those who have broken the chains of their past and rose to accomplish extraordinary outcomes in the present. Join Bart Nollenberger and his guests every Thursday as they share their real-world wisdom about personal healing and forgiveness, self-care and development, and spirituality. Expect to discover how you can change, and keep it that way.

What if the biggest breakthroughs in your dealership weren’t hiding in new tech… but in the way you lead your people?

That’s exactly where today’s conversation goes and trust me, you’re going to feel this one.

In this episode, I sit down with someone who needs no introduction in automotive: David Long. A man whose leadership has shaped careers, transformed dealerships, and sparked movements like The Pandemic of Positivity and All Things Used Cars. David doesn’t just talk about leadership — he lives it with a clarity and conviction you don’t see every day.

What we get into in this conversation

This one goes deep into the heart of what separates dealerships that thrive from those barely hanging on, and David does not sugarcoat a thing. We talk about:

Why leadership clarity is the #1 differentiator heading into 2026
The one skill every automotive professional should master (but shockingly few do)
Why so many dealers say they want growth but don’t have the discipline to earn it
The real truth behind training and why skipping it is costing dealers more than they realize
How David has opened over 100 buy centers and why most stores fail before they even start
The exact framework he uses to help dealers buy cars at 85% cost-to-market without extra expenses or fancy tools
Why the old-school “get ’em in” mentality is officially dead
And the kind of leadership culture that actually turns people into high performers

This episode isn’t theory. It’s David, honest, sharp, experienced, and fully locked in on helping leaders become better leaders.

If you’re in automotive and you care about your people, your processes, or your performance… this conversation gives you something you can act on before the day ends.

What if the gap between the leader you think you are… and the leader your people actually experience… is wider than you realize?

That’s where we’re going today.

I’m Bart Nollenberger, and on this episode of Keep the Change, I’m sitting down with someone who has reshaped the way I look at leadership, purpose, and the quiet battles most leaders never talk about — my friend Bill Goodwin.

Bill’s a former pastor, a leadership coach, and the author of Priority Living. But labels don’t capture him. He’s one of those rare people who can look you in the eye, ask one question, and suddenly you’re rethinking your entire approach to life and influence.

So today, we poured some coffee and dug into the conversations leaders usually avoid — the kind that shift cultures, families, businesses, and everything in between.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear us explore:

Why some leaders run from honest feedback… and what that decision silently costs them.
What happens the moment you stop leading from your title and start leading from your truth.
The surprising impact of discovering your purpose and why most people never actually do it.
The real story behind the Purpose Factor assessments… and how they’ve been reshaping teams from the inside out.
A life-changing moment in Bill’s past that completely reframed the way he lives, leads, and serves today.
The everyday habits that quietly drain leaders — and the “rhythm reset” that can change everything.

But here’s what makes this conversation special: Bill doesn’t give you theories. He gives you lived experience. Hard-earned wisdom. And a way of seeing yourself that feels both challenging and hopeful at the same time.

If you’ve been needing a reset… or even just permission to rethink what leadership looks like in this season of your life… press play.

What if the biggest breakthroughs in your dealership have nothing to do with inventory, rates, or traffic, but everything to do with you?

In this solo episode, I pull back the curtain on the real mistakes managers make and the simple shifts that can completely transform your culture, your people, and your results.

Today we’re diving deep into material straight from my upcoming book, “Leadership in the Dealership: Mistakes Managers Make”. It is a collection of insights that comes from forty years inside showrooms, training rooms, crisis meetings, coaching sessions, and team huddles. Nothing here is theory. Everything here is lived experience.

What we explore in this episode

You will hear me unpack the most common leadership traps that quietly destroy momentum inside a dealership and the practical solutions that will help you build a culture you can be proud of. We walk through:

Why failing to cast a clear vision kills more careers than a bad market
The hard truth about avoiding tough conversations
The difference between managing and leading
Why toxic high performers are the biggest threat to your culture
How structured daily training, accountability, and real coaching transform results
The power of self awareness, vision, and personal growth

This episode is designed to help you look at your store, your people, and your leadership through a clearer lens. These are the quiet shifts that create massive change over time. The small decisions that alter culture. The everyday habits that elevate results.

If you want the free copy of the book before it releases, listen to the end and send me an email. I would love to put it in your hands.

Ever wondered why some dealerships have record-breaking months while others, with the same tools and talent, can’t seem to sustain momentum?

In this solo episode of Keep The Change, Bart Nollenberger breaks down one of the most overlooked profit drivers in the car business: culture. Not the posters on the wall kind of culture, but the real stuff that shows up in how your people communicate, learn, and show up every single day.

A few weeks ago, Bart introduced us to the Cultural Impact Scorecard, a 360° assessment revealing what’s really going on inside a business. Today, he unpacks what those results actually mean—and why two key areas, communication and continuous learning, can quietly make or break your store’s performance.

You’ll hear Bart pull back the curtain on:

What happens when leaders think they’re communicating but their teams disagree.
Why training once a month doesn’t count as development (and what to do instead).
The “3 Cs” that can instantly change how your team connects and collaborates.
Real stories from dealerships that turned conflict into connection and profit.

If you’ve ever felt like your team knows what to do but just can’t seem to get aligned… this episode will hit home.

By the end, you’ll have a roadmap to build a culture that communicates, grows, and wins, without losing the people who make it possible.

So before you roll into another meeting or morning huddle, hit play.

This one might just change the way you lead.

If you’ve been in automotive longer than five minutes, you’ve probably heard the name Tom Stuker.

He’s the guy who literally invented the BDC. The guy who turned phone sales into an art form. The guy who logged 23 million miles training dealerships across the planet

And today, he’s on Keep the Change.

In this episode, I sit down with the legendary Tom Stuker, founder of Stuker Training, to unpack 50 years of real-world lessons about sales, leadership, and what it truly takes to build a business that sells cars instead of waiting for buyers to show up.

We talk about:

Why most dealerships are still managing like it’s 1985 (and how to fix it).
How to hire salespeople who actually want to sell, not just survive.
The four pillars every retail leader should master if they want long-term success.
Why your CRM is probably costing you money,and how to turn it into your biggest profit center.
The mindset shift that separates high-performing stores from the rest of the pack.

Tom breaks down the systems, the scripts, and the hard truths every leader needs to hear, plus the practical ways to change the game starting tomorrow morning.

If you’re a GM, GSM, or just someone who’s tired of “theory” and ready for real-world leadership that moves the needle… this is your episode.

Hey Keep The Changers, today’s episode might just change the way you look at leadership and culture forever.

I’ve been in the automotive business for over 40 years (yeah, I know… you can do the math), and one thing I’ve realized after all that time is this: the word “culture” never shows up in conversations inside low-performing stores.

They talk profit. They talk process. But they rarely talk people.

And yet, culture is the heartbeat of every thriving business. It’s the invisible force that shapes how people think, act, and interact, or as John Maxwell puts it, “You do what you’re going to do, that’s culture.”

In this solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on something that completely redefined how I lead: The Culture Scorecard.

This tool helps you see your business from the inside out, through the eyes of your people.

Because let’s be honest, if your team doesn’t feel safe, trusted, or heard… they’re not giving you their best.

If you’ve ever wondered why your culture isn’t clicking, or how to get your people fully engaged and aligned again… this one’s for you.

What if the hardest parts of your story were actually the very things that could change lives?

In this episode of Keep the Change, I sit down with Westley Morris, and let me tell you, this conversation hit me straight in the gut in the best way possible. Westley’s story is raw, it’s real, and it’s packed with the kind of wisdom you can only earn the hard way.

We talk about:

How to rebuild trust when life has shattered it.
The “non-negotiables” that will carry you through storms when nothing else can.
Why surrender isn’t weakness but the doorway to strength.
The surprising way pain can transform into purpose.

There are moments in this episode where I just had to pause, sit back, and let it sink in. Westley doesn’t sugarcoat the struggles, but he also doesn’t leave you there. What he shares about turning setbacks into stepping stones will make you rethink the way you’re living right now.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your story still matters… or if change is even possible when the odds are stacked against you… this is the episode you need to hear.

What if being introverted wasn’t a weakness to “fix,” but a strength to lead with?

In this episode, my guest is Antoinette Griffin, a leadership coach, trainer, and faculty member with Maxwell Leadership who specializes in communication and human behavior. You’ve probably seen her on some of the biggest Maxwell stages, but what makes her story powerful is that she started out terrified of public speaking. Today, she’s teaching leaders around the world how to thrive by leaning into who they really are.

We dive into:

The surprising strengths introverts bring to leadership and communication
Why extroverts (like me!) often misunderstand introverts, and how to bridge that gap
The difference between “speaking to think” and “thinking to speak” (this one hit me hard)
Why communication, not just strategy is the make-or-break factor in families, businesses, and teams
How Antoinette overcame shyness and stage fright to become a sought-after speaker and coach

If you’ve ever wondered how to bridge the gap between introverts and extroverts or if you want to become a better communicator no matter your style, this conversation will give you tools you can put to work right away.

What if the difference between where you are and where you want to be comes down to one word—discipline?

In this episode I sit down with my good friend Dr. Patrick Davitt, a John Maxwell certified coach, professor, author, ultra-endurance athlete, and all-around powerhouse in body, mind, and spirit. His story isn’t just impressive—it’s a living example of what happens when you align discipline with purpose.

Here’s a glimpse of what we get into:

Why the foundation of leadership always starts with leading yourself first.
How discipline in one area of life spills into every other area.
Why clarity of your why is more important than clarity of your how.
The small daily actions that build unstoppable momentum.
Lessons Patrick has carried from running 100-mile races to coaching leaders and writing his new book, Words of Worth.

Patrick’s journey from feeling lost in college to becoming a leader in health, performance, and personal growth will resonate with anyone who’s ever felt stuck but knew deep down there was something more. His energy is contagious, his wisdom is practical, and his story will challenge you to ask better questions of yourself.

If you’ve ever wondered how to push past limits, build resilience, and grow into the leader your family, business, and community need—you’ll want to lean into this conversation.

In this episode my guest is Brian Kramer, Executive Vice President at Cars Commerce and General Manager of AccuTrade. Brian’s career has taken him from washing cars as a porter to leading one of the most innovative companies in the automotive space. Along the way, he’s learned what it really takes to transform dealership culture, build trust inside an organization, and lead teams through the messy middle of change.

We talk about how leadership isn’t just about knowing the numbers, but about creating rhythms that keep teams focused and accountable. Brian shares what he learned from some of the industry’s best mentors, how to navigate the tension between innovation and scalability, and why trust—broken into personal, technical, and ethical layers—is the foundation of every successful store.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the whirlwind of dealership life, or wondered how the best leaders cut through the noise and focus on what matters most, this conversation is going to give you clarity and direction you can actually apply.

What do you do when you feel like the odds are stacked against you?

In this episode, I sit down with my good friend and powerhouse leader, Deb Ingino, faculty member of Maxwell Leadership and CEO of Strength Leader. From growing up as the oldest of seven kids in a two-bedroom Bronx apartment to becoming a senior executive leading global operations in over 80 countries, Deb’s leadership journey is anything but conventional.

We talk about what it means to lead without a degree, how to handle conflict when egos and offices are on the line, and the pivotal role trust plays in building teams that actually work. Deb shares how assessments like DISC can transform not only workplaces but also marriages, families, and friendships. (And yes—we even talk about how a window office overlooking a smelly parking lot became a turning point in her career!)

This conversation is packed with wisdom about embracing your strengths, leading with heart, and finding peace in the middle of chaos. If you’ve ever questioned your path or felt like you didn’t check all the boxes, Deb’s story will show you that your unique journey is exactly what prepares you to lead at the highest level.

You’ll walk away inspired, challenged, and maybe even laughing at a few stories that prove leadership isn’t about titles or degrees—it’s about people, trust, and courage.

Some leaders talk about culture like it’s a “nice to have.”

John Griffin will tell you, it’s the make-or-break factor for every organization.

In this episode, I sit down with John Griffin, Vice President of Global Programs at Maxwell Leadership, a man who’s walked through deep personal trials, learned the power of forgiveness, and now helps leaders and companies all over the world build cultures that actually last.

John’s story is raw, faith-filled, and disarmingly real. From a childhood marked by brokenness to finding his identity in Christ, he’s learned firsthand that leadership begins with self-leadership—and that means taking off the masks we wear, dealing with what’s inside, and leading from a place of wholeness.

We talk about:

Why culture isn’t just an HR buzzword, it’s the heartbeat of your business.
How to spot when your team is wearing masks (and how to help them take them off).
The link between personal healing, authentic leadership, and business performance.
Practical ways to measure your organization’s culture so you know what’s really going on behind the scenes.
Why focusing on people first almost always drives profit as a byproduct.

If you’re a leader who’s tired of surface-level fixes and ready to dig into the real work that transforms people and organizations, this conversation will challenge, encourage, and maybe even change the way you lead.

In this episode, it’s just me with you again and we’re diving deep into one of John Maxwell’s most powerful leadership principles: the Law of Addition. It’s the idea that real leaders add value to others by serving them.

We’ll look at what that means in everyday leadership, whether you’re running a dealership, managing a restaurant, or leading a small business. You’ll hear why “being the boss” doesn’t automatically make you influential, and how small, intentional actions can completely change the way your team responds to you.

I’ll share the three questions every empowered employee should be asking themselves daily, why failing forward might be the most valuable skill you can develop, and the 10 culture touchpoints that can make or break your organization.

This isn’t theory — it’s about practical ways to serve, lead, and build a culture that inspires loyalty, trust, and results.

In this solo episode of Keep The Change, I’m diving into something I didn’t plan... but was prompted by that good ol’ still small voice. You know the one. The voice that whispers, “Do this,” and you want to say, “Darn it,” because you know it’s going to stretch you. That voice led me back to one of the most powerful resources in my leadership journey: John Maxwell’s 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership.

But we’re not covering all 21—just four that could quietly be shaping (or stalling) your team’s performance right now.

We unpack what your leadership lid actually is, how it affects your store’s results, and why some dealerships with the same inventory and location are selling 3x more than others. Spoiler: it’s not the salespeople.

We also get into:

Why trust is more valuable than skill (and why your people may not trust you as much as you think)
The real difference between surviving the month and winning
How your daily priorities are either growing people—or just keeping the wheels spinning

I’m sharing real stories from dealerships I’ve worked with, the hard lessons I learned in my early leadership days, and the one uncomfortable question every leader should be asking themselves this week.

If you’ve ever looked at two stores with the same inventory and wondered why one’s selling 300 cars while the other is stuck at 100… this is the conversation you need to hear.

Let’s dig into that. This episode might just be the mirror we all need.

Oh—and if you want to go deeper, join me Wednesday, August 6th at 9PM Eastern for the first session of the 3-week Leadership Workshop. We’re not just learning—we’re transforming.

In this episode of Keep the Change, I get the absolute honor of sitting down with one of the most impactful mentors of my life—Paul Martinelli.

Now, when I say Paul has built empires... I mean it. From a high school dropout sleeping in a karate dojo, to launching eight multi-million dollar businesses and co-founding the John Maxwell Team, Paul’s journey is proof that your past doesn’t get to decide your future.

But this isn’t just a rags-to-riches story. This is about how changing your thinking changes your life.

We talk about:

How limiting beliefs are programmed in early—and how to break free from them
What it really takes to build a business from nothing
The power of betting on yourself (Paul dropped HALF A MILLION to build Maxwell’s certification program—before they even shook hands)
Why most people say they want change but secretly fear it
How to make the wrong decision the right one
And the one question Paul asks before taking any action (trust me, you’ll want to steal this)

You’ll hear wild stories about million-dollar failures, investing in yourself when no one else will, and how Paul is now helping others build financial freedom through his Empowered Living platform.

But more than that—this is a deep, raw look into the mindset behind massive transformation. If you’ve ever felt stuck, limited, or like your dreams are just out of reach... this episode is your invitation to think again.

In this episode of Keep The Change, I sit down with someone who’s not just a mentor, not just a friend—but the man who shaped my entire view on leadership, business, and what it truly means to love people through your work: Euse Mita.

Euse isn’t just leading companies—he’s creating movements. With five businesses, five kids, and seventeen grandkids, he’s still running circles around most of us—and doing it all with heart. This episode dives deep into what real leadership looks like, the mission behind meaningful culture, and why most businesses fall flat when they forget the “why.”

Here’s a glimpse of what we talk about:

The difference between “head-based” leadership and leading from the heart (and why most mission statements miss the mark)
How dishwashers, valets, and CEOs can all embody the same love-centered culture
The 3 questions every leader should ask if they really mean business
Why culture—not capital—is your greatest asset (and how to build one that lasts)
Why "work" should feel more like a vocation, and why that mindset shift changes everything
The power of “each one teach one” and why love is the strongest business principle of all

We also talk about faith, family, failure, and legacy in a way that’s raw, real, and inspiring. Euse opens up about lessons from building Half A Car, his vision for hospitality as ministry, and why you don’t need more strategy—you need more soul.

In this episode, my guest is Adam Holbrook from Maxwell Leadership—an entrepreneur who built and sold two companies, and someone who knows firsthand what it means to lead others after learning how to lead himself.

We talk about the side of leadership that doesn’t show up on spreadsheets—like what to do when you’re working 90 hours a week, miserable, and pretending everything's fine. Adam shares how emotional intelligence helped him go from burnout and self-destruction to peace and purpose. He opens up about how delaying your emotions, releasing blame, and letting go of the need for an apology can shift not just your leadership, but your entire life.

We also dive into:

What separates great salespeople from real leaders
The personal habits that affect your professional culture
How to grow your emotional intelligence (and why it matters more than IQ)
How small mindset shifts can help you handle conflict and lead with clarity

This episode is full of honest stories, practical takeaways, and tools you can apply whether you lead a dealership, a team, or your own household. If you're tired of the noise and just want real talk about what it takes to be better—for your people and for yourself—this is one to listen to from start to finish.

In this episode, my guest is Matt Lewis from Lewis Automotive, and we’re picking up where we left off. This is Part Two of our conversation, where we dive deeper into how Matt’s leadership philosophy drives real results, but we also open up about the hurdles, the growing pains, and the mindset shifts that come with scaling a family business.

Matt doesn’t sugarcoat it—he talks about what worked, what didn’t, and why letting go of control might just be the next level for your business.

In this episode, we talk about:

Why focusing on your employees first is the key to a great customer experience.
The leadership mistakes that hold businesses back from scaling.
How to create a work environment people don’t want to leave—even when they get a job offer down the road.
The mindset shift leaders need to move from “doing” to truly empowering.
Why managing your emotions is one of the most underrated leadership skills.
And what endurance sports can teach us about mental toughness, problem-solving, and leading when things don’t go as planned.

We also get personal about faith, purpose, and the real reason Matt does what he does. It’s one of those conversations that hits both the head and the heart.

This is part two of our chat, if you missed part one, make sure you go back and catch it.

Have you ever wondered what it really takes to build a family business that thrives for four generations? Not just survives—thrives.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Matt Lewis from Lewis Automotive, and let me tell you… this isn’t your typical leadership chat. We sit down for part one of a conversation that’s real, practical, and packed with lessons about leadership, family business, and building something that actually lasts.

Matt shares what it’s like leading alongside his brothers in a family business that started in 1946 with just six cars and a dream. We dive into:

The real key to sustaining family businesses across generations
How to build leadership teams that actually buy in
Why most people think they’re delegating—but they’re actually abandoning
The power of asking better questions (and what most leaders miss)

And there’s this wild story about how Matt landed his first internship by refusing to stop calling. (Seriously, you’ll want to hear that.)

We also talk about faith in the workplace, leadership blind spots, and how true success comes when you focus on helping others hit their goals first.

If you’re leading a team, growing a business, or trying to build something that lasts—this episode is packed with gold you don’t want to miss.

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.

In this episode, my guest is Anthony Alagona—founder of By Appointment Only, and a guy who's built a powerhouse BDC business without even having a website.

We talk about what it actually takes to build something from scratch when the odds are stacked against you. From sleeping in a car to being booked out for a full year, Anthony walks us through the hard lessons that helped shape his approach to training, leadership, and growth.

We also touch on:

How Anthony went from rock bottom and no license… to being booked 52 weeks in advance.
The power of unreasonable hospitality—and how it's changing the car business.
Why the best training doesn’t happen in a classroom, but around a table, over a story.
Why Anthony still doesn’t have a website (yep—you read that right).
And how “Can I customize your experience?” might just be the best sales line you’ve never used.

You’ll hear how hospitality shaped his approach to automotive, why building relationships always beats algorithms, and how he trains people to not just show up—but to be memorable. Anthony doesn’t hold back about what it takes to survive a career pivot, fight off a bad reputation, and still keep your head up.

If you're building something, leading a team, or trying to figure out how to bounce back when things fall apart—there’s a lot to take away here.

He also shares how he turns dealerships around from the inside, why BDCs are more than phone rooms, and how to coach people so they want to be coached.

In this episode, my guest is Chris Robinson, Executive Vice President at Maxwell Leadership — and one of the most purpose-driven leaders I know.

We talk about something that doesn’t get talked about enough: what happens when you’re doing “well enough,” but deep down you know you’ve stopped growing.

Chris shares the real story behind his new book From Drift to Drive, and we break down the seven steps he uses (and teaches others) to get clear, take action, and shake off the weight of complacency — especially the kind that sneaks in when life is comfortable.

We get into:

What clarity really looks like in your life and work
Why “being busy” isn’t the same as moving forward
How to gather and filter the right information to avoid drowning in content
The role of mentors and why your circle can either build you up or hold you back
How to take consistent action, even when it’s messy or uncertain
Why evluation is the step most people skip — and what that’s costing them

Chris also opens up about his personal turning point — the moment that changed the trajectory of his life — and how it shaped the way he shows up today as a husband, father of six, and leader of thousands.

Whether you’re leading a business, a family, or just trying to get yourself to the next level… this one will challenge you, encourage you, and give you tools you can actually use.

In this episode, my guest is Brian Kramer, Executive VP at Cars Commerce and GM of AccuTrade.

Brian’s got one of the sharpest minds in the business, and we cover a lot of ground in this conversation—from used car profitability to leadership habits that actually move the needle in today’s stores.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by too many tools, too many meetings, or just the general whirlwind of the car biz… this episode will help you refocus on what actually matters.

Here’s a glimpse at what we talk about:

Why “doing less” might be the secret to selling more
How Brian used a simple app link to unlock hundreds of trade-ins
What every manager should text their team every single night
The 3 types of trust that make or break your store culture
How to build a daily rhythm that keeps your team aligned (without micromanaging)

We also get into the mindset shift Brian had to make when leaving retail for Cars Commerce—and how he’s now using that experience to shape tools that actually work for dealers.

If you’re in a dealership, leading a team, or just trying to get better at the craft—there’s gold in this one. Brian doesn’t hold back, and he shares hard-earned lessons that can save you months (or years) of learning the hard way.

In this episode, my guest is John Roberts, General Manager of Roberts Motors in Alton, Illinois. John’s family has been in the car business for over 70 years, and he’s got a perspective that’s not just shaped by longevity—but by deep transformation.

We talk about what it really means to lead people, not just manage them. John shares how he went from being a shy porter who avoided conversation to running a dealership that’s grown over 30% this year. He opens up about the turning points in his career, the hard lessons, and why leadership has nothing to do with titles and everything to do with how you show up for your people.

We also talk about:

Why telling people what to do doesn’t work (and what actually does)
The practical changes that helped John and his team boost performance
What a simple daily check-in can do to shift culture and accountability
Why humility—not ego—is the real power move in leadership
And how to recognize when you’re the one who needs to grow

We also dive into some real talk about coaching, feedback, and how those uncomfortable moments—the ones where people doubt you—can fuel your biggest breakthroughs.

If you’re a GM, sales leader, or just someone who wants to lead better and connect more with your team, this one’s worth the time. It’s honest, it’s useful, and you might hear a bit of your own story in John’s.

Take a listen.

Before we dive in, a heartfelt tribute... At the request of my guest Chris Saraceno, I want to take a moment to honor someone who’s had a deep and lasting impact on both of our lives — Frank Marr.

Frank has been a mentor, a friend, and a guiding voice for decades at the Kelly Automotive Group. His wisdom, loyalty, and unwavering support have helped shape who we are as leaders and as people. While his name wasn’t mentioned in the original conversation, his influence runs through every part of this episode. Frank, this one’s for you.

In this episode, my guest is Chris Saraceno, Vice President and Partner at Kelly Automotive Group, and the author of The Theory of Five — a framework that’s been quietly transforming how top performers live and lead.

We talk about the five key areas that shape a fulfilling life — faith, relationships, parenting, finance, and health — and the five people you spend the most time with that either pull you forward or hold you back.

But this isn’t just theory.

Chris shares real-life stories and practical questions you can ask yourself right now to take stock of where you’re at and who you’re becoming. We break down:

How to find mentors in every area of your life (and why you don’t need just one)
The link between your personal health and your professional success
Why the people closest to you might be keeping you stuck — and how to shift that dynamic
And how middle managers in dealerships (or any organization) can grow beyond the grind

You’ll also hear why consistency matters more than intensity, why emotional intelligence is your secret weapon, and how asking the right questions leads to breakthrough.

This episode is full of honest insights and actionable takeaways — especially if you’re ready to stop drifting and start building a life that matters.

Ever wonder why some leaders transform entire teams while others just manage to keep the lights on?

In today’s solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a strategy that’s not just another leadership theory – it’s the secret sauce to turning average managers into powerhouse leaders. And it all starts with one question: Are you a Level 4 Leader?

You’ve heard me talk about John Maxwell’s 5 Levels of Leadership, but today, we’re going deeper – way deeper.

We’re diving into:

How a high-performing sales rep went from top dog to terrible manager in record time – and what every dealership owner needs to learn from it.
The critical shift from position-based leadership to people development leadership – and why this is the sweet spot for dealership success.
The 5 essential elements of a high-performance environment, from vision to activating your team to become self-coaching powerhouses.
Why emotional intelligence is the missing link in almost every underperforming leader – and how to level up quickly.
Why most managers get stuck at Level 1 – and how to level up to people development leadership (the real moneymaker in the dealership world).

And here’s the kicker – I’m sharing the blueprint for my new Transforming Leadership in the Dealership webinar series, packed with the kind of insights that can shift your entire organization’s trajectory.

If you’re ready to stop managing and start leading, if you’re serious about transforming your team from average to unstoppable, this episode is your blueprint.

What if I told you that there’s a Toyota dealer in the Midwest pulling $4K in front-end gross per unit… without ever charging over MSRP?

Yeah, read that again.

In this episode, I sit down with my good friend and industry powerhouse, Mike Luner—a guy I’ve known and respected for over 30 years. Mike isn’t just running a dealership. He’s building a culture where process, profit, and people all win. We talk about real leadership, real margins, and real strategies that actually work in today’s market—even with all the noise about margin compression.

Here’s what we dive into:

How Mike turned a small-town Toyota store into a gross-generating machine (think $800K+ in front-end just from Seal Jet and Diamond Fusion)
His bulletproof trade-in strategy that starts low and wins big—every time
Why his salespeople are averaging $85K/year and not leaving
The secret to consistent leadership: Friday sales meetings (for 40 years straight!) and never being too good to sweep the lot
Why 50+ cars/month from a full-time buyer is about to change his used car game
Plus: We talk about how to train like champions, present like pros, and lead like servant-hearted operators

If you’ve ever wondered how to actually hold gross in a compressed market, build a process that sticks, or lead a team that wants to stay and grow with you—this is the episode.

What if I told you… sales isn’t just something you do — it’s who you become?

In this solo episode, I’m opening up the playbook.

From watching my mom take over the family dealership with zero experience and turning it into a powerhouse, to my own journey through sales, leadership, AutoNation, Maxwell Leadership, and now running coaching bootcamps — I’m laying it all out.

But this episode isn’t about my story…

It’s about how you can take real action in yours.

Here’s what we get into:

The spark that reignited my love for sales training (and how God used a coffee shop to do it).
Why most salespeople don’t lack motivation—they lack meaningful goals.
A simple goal-setting exercise that will change the way your team thinks (and sells).
The three types of customers you must understand — and the one that makes the biggest difference.
Why your people need more than process—they need purpose. And how you help them find it.
A breakdown of the Auto Mastery Bootcamp framework—from mindset to metrics, and everything in between.

Plus…

I’ll give you the exact exercise we use in our bootcamps that gets sales teams fired up and focused. It’s practical, repeatable, and it works. And if you want to steal it? Be my guest.

This episode is for the leaders who care.

For the ones ready to develop their people—not just manage them.

And for anyone who knows deep down… there’s more potential in the room.

In this episode, my guests are Kyle Newsom and Tom Fennen, co-founders of Visperio—a company on a mission to transform dealership leadership from the inside out. We talk about everything from emotional intelligence in fixed ops to the leadership philosophies that are actually moving the needle in today’s fast-paced automotive world.

These guys aren’t just dropping strategies...

They’re challenging the entire way we think about leadership in the dealership.

You’ll learn how to move from "managing numbers" to leading people
Discover why kindness is accountability in disguise
Find out the #1 mindset shift new service managers need to make
Learn how emotional intelligence directly impacts your team’s retention and performance
And—why selling time (not just services) could change your fixed ops game

Plus, you’ll hear Tom drop wisdom like “It’s not about being right, it’s about getting it right”… and Kyle’s reminder that we’re not selling oil changes—we’re selling time. Every word in this one is gold.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between the numbers and the people...

If you’ve ever wondered how to lead with both strength and softness...

Or if you're just tired of turnover and know there’s gotta be a better way—

In this episode, I sit down with two incredible leaders—Mickey Seelye, President of Seelye Automotive Group, and Stan Qualls, GM and culture driver—to unpack what really drives sustainable success in the car business.

Here’s the twist: it’s not about selling more cars.
It’s about serving more people.

Whether you're a GM, GSM, sales leader, or dealer principal, this conversation will challenge how you see your role—not just as a business operator, but as a leader who carries real influence at home, in the store, and beyond.

In this episode, we talk about:

The wild origin story of Seelye Auto Group: from janitor to dealer principal
Why culture beats commission plans—and how to build one that actually lasts
Leading with faith in a high-pressure, high-performance industry
What’s really keeping your managers up at night—and how to show up for them
Identity, burnout, addiction, redemption... and why your best days are still ahead

If you're in the auto industry and you’ve ever felt like:

You're great at the grind, but struggling to connect with your team
You're hitting the numbers, but something’s missing at home
Or you’ve lost yourself chasing titles, trophies, and 20 Groups…

…this episode is your reset button.

It’s raw. It’s honest. And it’s exactly what more dealers need to hear in today’s business climate.

What if I told you the most powerful leadership lessons don’t come from business school… but from pain, adversity, and choosing to rise when life tries to bury you? That’s exactly what my guest, Anthony Birdsong, brings to this episode—and trust me, you’re not ready for how real it gets.

What We Talk About:

In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Anthony peels back the layers of his incredible journey—from being raised amidst addiction and instability to building Maryland’s #1 independent used car dealership. We talk about what it takes to lead a team of 60 with heart, humility, and hustle. Anthony shares how the darkest moments of his life, including childhood trauma and nearly losing everything during COVID, became the fuel for his transformation.

You’ll hear how faith, relentless self-awareness, and the power of personal development reshaped his life—and how his wife and son became the ultimate anchors in his storm. There’s wisdom here for anyone who’s ever felt stuck, broken, or unsure of their worth. We also dig deep into what real leadership means, and how being “just a used car dealer” is only a small part of why Anthony’s story matters.

Whether you’re in the car biz or not, this episode will challenge you, move you, and maybe even push you to confront your own story with new courage.

Want to become the kind of leader people actually want to follow? Here’s the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed.

If you're in automotive leadership—or honestly, any leadership—and you’ve ever found yourself wondering why your team isn’t performing at the level you know they're capable of… this episode is for you.

I’m flying solo this week and we’re digging deep into what I believe is the biggest difference-maker in today’s dealerships: transformational leadership at the manager level. I’m not talking about barking orders from the desk—I’m talking about building real influence, leveling up your ability to coach, and leading with a vision that inspires.

In this episode, I break down:

Why being a “position” leader is the lowest form of leadership (and why most managers unknowingly get stuck there)
John Maxwell’s 5 Levels of Leadership—and how to move from permission to production to people development
The real story of Johnny and Marty: how toxic mentorship shaped a dealership’s downfall
Why top salespeople often flop when they get promoted—and how to fix it
How to activate your team through powerful coaching, asking better questions, and building trust that drives results
The 5 elements of a high-performance environment that every manager should master
Plus, the four traits that every Level 4 Leader must develop (and how they tie back to ROI, retention, and culture)

Whether you’re aiming to be the GM, lead your team through uncertain times, or just get your people fired up again, this is the episode that shows you how to get there—without losing your soul (or your sanity).

What if I told you that love—not fear, not pressure—creates the most successful businesses?

I know, I know. In a world of bottom lines and quotas, that might sound soft. But today’s guest, Joel Manby, is here to flip that thinking on its head. And trust me, you don’t want to miss this one.

Joel isn’t just any leader—he’s the former CEO of Saab, HFE Enterprises, and a guy who’s navigated the high-stakes world of automotive and theme parks. But his real game-changer? He’s proven that leading with love gets results.

In this episode, we dive deep into:

How love-driven leadership boosts employee performance, customer satisfaction, AND profits.
The Saturn "No-Haggle" revolution—and what it taught Joel about disrupting an industry.
How a personal failure led him to a leadership style that changed his life (and thousands of others).
The 7 words that define a culture of love—and why most leaders get them wrong.
The moment that nearly broke him… and the call that changed everything.

Joel’s been on Undercover Boss, worked with Amazon’s first car-selling venture, and learned leadership at Harvard Business School—but his biggest lessons? They didn’t come from boardrooms.

If you're in automotive, leadership, or just want to build a culture where people thrive—this is your episode.

Hit play now and start leading with impact.

You ever wonder what separates the managers who struggle from the ones who thrive? The leaders who keep winning, even when the game changes?

In this episode I sit down with my good friend Drew Tutton, a powerhouse in the automotive, RV, and tractor industries. Drew has built a thriving business empire, but what makes him truly special isn’t just his success—it’s his approach to leadership.

And here’s the thing: the world is changing, business is changing, and if you’re still leading like it’s 2019… woof. We need to talk.

What We Dive Into:

The hard lessons of leading through uncertainty
Why some managers plateau—and how to break through the ceiling
Emotional intelligence—how it affects your paycheck
The one thing every great leader must do daily
How coaching (not just training) transforms a business from the inside out

Drew doesn’t just talk leadership—he lives it. He shares his playbook for holding people accountable, keeping teams engaged, and why leaders need to stay “in the pocket.” Plus, we break down how emotional intelligence is the ultimate cheat code to making more money and leading with impact.

If you're a manager looking to step up, a business owner trying to build a winning culture, or someone who just wants to lead better in work and life—this episode is a must-listen.

In this episode, my guest is Jack Schneider—a legend in the independent pre-owned dealership space and a guy I’ve had the privilege of knowing for 25 years. Jack has built one of the top-performing dealerships in the country, and let me tell you, his approach is something every dealer, leader, and business owner needs to hear.

Jack doesn’t just run a dealership—he’s revolutionized the way customers buy cars. And if you think this is just another “dealer success story,” think again. Jack sold his entire operation, “retired,” and then came back stronger than ever—because he wasn’t done revolutionizing the customer experience. And let me tell you—his approach WORKS.

Here’s what we dig into:

The one strategy that took his dealership to 40%+ closing rates on phone-ups
How real-time market pricing changed the game (and why most dealers get it wrong)
The non-negotiable leadership habit that keeps his team consistently at the top
Why training managers—not just salespeople—is the secret weapon for long-term success
How putting customers first (for real) leads to repeat business and lifelong referrals

Jack is proof that when you focus on process, transparency, and leadership, you don’t just sell cars—you build a brand that people trust. And in an industry that’s always evolving, his insights couldn’t be more relevant.

Hit play, take notes, and get ready to level up your dealership game.

What separates the great leaders from the ones who just show up for a paycheck?

If you’ve ever wondered what makes an organization truly successful—beyond just the numbers—you’re in the right place.

Today, I’m sitting down with Frank Knox, VP of Unique Auto Sourcing, a man whose leadership journey started long before his corporate career ever took off. From growing up in St. Louis in a family that defined resilience to leading high-level teams at CarMax, Frank breaks down the real secrets behind courageous leadership, mentorship, and building a culture that actually works.

We dive deep into:

The mentorship mindset that separates great leaders from the rest.
The hard-hitting truth about ego—and how it holds you back.
Why leadership isn’t about title, but about courageous ownership.
The game-changing philosophy that made CarMax different—and how dealers can apply it today.
How Unique Auto Sourcing is taking the mental fatigue off dealership leaders so they can focus on what really matters: their people.

This isn’t just another leadership talk. It’s a masterclass in leading with heart, learning from failure, and unlocking the potential in those around you.

So whether you’re running a dealership, leading a team, or just trying to level up in life—this episode is for YOU.

Hey, Keep The Changers! Buckle up, because today's episode is a game-changer. I’m sitting down with a powerhouse in the automotive space, Richie Bello, a guy who's been shaking things up in sales, marketing, and dealership retention for years. Listen, this man has been podcasting since 2017—who was even doing that back then? That’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Richie is the CEO of Clickable, the founder of Shop Smart Autos, and a straight-up expert in leadership and digital transformation. Oh, and did I mention he’s a bestselling author too? Yeah, the man doesn’t slow down. And today, we’re tackling something that every dealership needs to hear: Why retention—not just sales—is the real key to long-term success.

What You’ll Get From This Episode:

The #1 mistake dealerships make when promoting top salespeople to managers (and why it’s killing retention).
Why great salespeople don’t always make great leaders—and how to fix it.
The hard truth about why dealers are spending a fortune on marketing but losing customers faster than ever.
How training the trainer could be the most powerful investment you make in your store.
The simple but game-changing strategy that can turn first-time buyers into lifelong customers.

Richie drops some serious wisdom about leadership, customer loyalty, and why dealerships need to invest in their people before throwing more money at ads. If you want to learn how to reduce turnover, build a culture of leadership, and actually keep customers coming back, then this episode is for you.

So, are you ready to stop bleeding talent and start building a high-retention, high-performance team? Hit play now and let’s get into it!

Most managers think they’re leading. But are they really?

In this episode of Keep The Change, I sit down with Kyle Disher, the founder of Rev Dojo, to pull back the curtain on why so many managers struggle to build winning teams—and the small shifts that separate the great from the average.

Kyle’s been in the trenches. He started selling cars at 18 years old, got thrown into management at 19, and has spent the last two decades training some of the top-performing dealerships in the country. He knows exactly what it takes to turn struggling teams into powerhouses—and what holds so many managers back.

We cover:

The #1 reason why some managers fail to lead their team effectively
How Kyle went from being a terrible car salesman at 18 years old to leading one of the most successful training organizations in the business
The dangerous trap that keeps sales teams stuck in mediocrity
What dealerships can learn from offshore call centers (this one will surprise you!)
Why sticking to a process beats raw talent every time

If you’re a GM, sales manager, or even an ambitious salesperson who’s tired of spinning your wheels, this episode is packed with game-changing insights you can start using today.

Be honest—who’s actually training your managers?

It’s day two at NADA, and after countless conversations with dealers, one thing is crystal clear: everyone is looking for more efficiency. More efficiency in marketing, more efficiency in operations, more efficiency in training.

But here’s the problem: you can add 100 new tools to your dealership, but if you don’t activate your managers, nothing is going to change.

I’ve been in this industry long enough to see the same cycle repeat itself. We spend hundreds of thousands training salespeople, expecting them to be the ones who transform the business. But then what happens?

They go back to the floor, ready to implement what they learned… and their manager says, Nah, we don’t do it that way here.

Game over.

We’re stuck in a cycle of training salespeople while completely ignoring the real key to success—our managers. The ones responsible for activating the team, setting the culture, and making sure the training actually sticks.

And if this hits home for you, let’s talk. Email me at bart@bartnollenberger.com or DM me. No pitch, no fluff—just a real conversation about how to build the kind of dealership that actually wins.

What happens when a self-proclaimed “back-row sitter” decides to step into the spotlight? In this episode , I’m joined by Dr. Gary White, a man whose story is as raw as it is remarkable, a seasoned business health coach and Maxwell Leadership certified professional. From growing up in a family of tradespeople to becoming a transformational coach with Maxwell Leadership, Gary’s journey is one of resilience, revelation, and the relentless pursuit of impact.

But here’s the twist: Gary didn’t always see his own worth. Like so many of us, he wrestled with imposter syndrome, self-sacrifice, and the sneaky anchor of self-doubt. Until one pivotal moment—and one powerful lesson—changed everything.

We talk about the profound shifts that come when you stop undervaluing yourself and start investing in your growth. Gary unpacks how tools like DISC assessments and emotional intelligence aren’t just buzzwords—they’re game-changers for leaders who want to truly understand and connect with people. Along the way, you’ll hear stories that will make you laugh, lessons that will make you think, and insights that might just light a fire under you to take the next step in your own journey.

What does it take to go from being a spectator in life to owning your seat at the table?
How can understanding human behavior transform not only your leadership but your relationships?
And why is stepping into your value the ultimate act of service to others?

Gary doesn’t just tell his story—he invites you to see yourself in it. But to truly get the wisdom, the humor, and the heart of this conversation, you’ll have to press play.

Hey friends, welcome back to another epsiode, and let me tell you—this episode is one you’re gonna want to buckle up for. We're diving deep into something that’s been on my mind (and probably yours too): self-discipline. Yeah, I said it. The D-word.

But here’s the deal—it’s not about waking up at 4 AM and eating protein powder for breakfast. Nope. It’s about those tiny promises we make to ourselves every single day… and whether or not we actually keep them.

Ever said, “I’m hitting the gym tomorrow”… and then didn’t?
Or, “I’m sticking to this diet”... while holding a donut? 🍩
Or how about, “I’m calling those 20 clients today”… and somehow ended up reorganizing your sock drawer instead?

Yeah, we’ve all been there. And let me tell you—it’s not just about breaking promises. It’s about what those broken promises do to your self-image.

In this episode, we’ll chat about:

Why self-discipline isn’t punishment—it’s actually freedom.
How asking “Did I do my best today?” might be the most powerful question you ask yourself.
The sneaky little ways habits become either your greatest ally… or your biggest enemy.

Plus, I’m sharing insights from 75 Hard, lessons from John Maxwell, and a little real talk about how discipline builds the bridge between good intentions and actual results.

This isn’t a lecture—it’s a conversation. And if you’ve ever found yourself saying, “This year will be different,” then friend, this episode is for YOU.

So hit play, lean in, and let’s figure out how to stop lying to ourselves about our goals—and start showing up like the leaders we know we can be.

👉 Let me know your biggest takeaway—I’d love to hear from you.

Hey there, keep the changers! Welcome to the final Keep the Change episode of 2024. Man, can you believe we’re already here? It feels like this year flew by, and now we’re staring straight into 2025.

Before we jump into the new year—I wanted to hit pause with you. You know, this time of year always makes me stop and ask myself some big questions. Not just about goals and plans (yeah, I’ve got those too), but about me—who I am as a leader, a husband, a friend...a human.

Tony Robbins says, “The quality of your life is determined by the quality of your questions.” And I believe that with everything in me. So today, I’m sharing some of the questions I’ve been asking myself lately. They’re simple, but man, they pack a punch if you lean into them.

And yeah, we’ll get real about faith too—because for me, that’s been such a big part of my growth this year. If that’s not your thing, that’s totally okay. But if it is—or if you’re even just a little curious—stick with me.

Here’s the thing: leadership isn’t about being the smartest person in the room. It’s about being real. Being present. Asking good questions and listening—really listening—to the answers.

So grab your coffee, take a breath, and let’s unpack this together. I’m sharing some of the questions that have made the biggest difference for me this year, and I hope they’ll do the same for you.

Oh—and if something I said today hits home, shoot me an email at bartn17@gmail.com. I’d love to hear your thoughts, your reflections, or just how you’re doing as we head into the new year.

Alright, let’s dive in. Here’s to closing out 2024 strong and stepping into 2025 with intention, purpose, and a whole lot of heart.

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.

What if the greatest tests of your life were the very thing preparing you for an extraordinary purpose?

In this episode of Keep the Change, I sit down with someone whose story embodies resilience, faith, and the transformative power of leadership. Pastor Mulenga Chella has walked a journey that most of us can’t even begin to imagine—wrongfully imprisoned in a foreign country, enduring unthinkable conditions, and yet choosing forgiveness over bitterness.

Here’s what struck me: Pastor Chella didn’t just survive. He thrived. He turned his darkest moments into a calling to serve others, from rescuing orphans to feeding hundreds of children daily. This isn’t just a story about faith—it’s a masterclass in leadership, grace, and finding significance beyond success.

We dig into:

How forgiveness unlocked the door to his freedom—literally.
Why true leadership is about lifting others, even in the toughest circumstances.
The Bible verse that kept him grounded when the world felt like it was falling apart.
How he went from prison to building a ministry that transforms lives daily.

And here’s the part that floored me: Pastor Chella took the very person responsible for his imprisonment—the man who betrayed him—and nursed him back to health. That choice of love over anger didn’t just change one life—it changed many.

This isn’t just a conversation; it’s an experience. If you’ve ever wondered how to find purpose in pain or how to lead with integrity when everything seems stacked against you, this episode is for you.

To my long-time Keep the Change family—this one will stay with you long after the final words. Let it challenge you. Let it inspire you. And most of all, let it remind you of what’s possible when we lean into faith and lead with love.

Hey, Keep The Changers! After a brief break from guests, we’re diving back in with someone who’s as authentic as it gets when it comes to leadership in the dealership world. In today’s episode, I sit down with my longtime friend, Mike Luner—a guy whose journey through the automotive industry has been nothing short of inspiring.

Imagine stepping into a dealership where leadership isn’t just about numbers or authority, but about building trust, guiding people with patience, and creating an environment where everyone feels valued. Mike’s done it all—from his days as a GM in the Bay Area to becoming a partner at a Toyota dealership in Missouri. And he’s been through it all, too—the highs, the lows, and those defining moments that truly shape a leader.

We dig deep into the heart of Mike’s leadership philosophy—how he keeps his team motivated, why patience and consistency matter, and his “attitude is everything” approach to leading through any challenge. We even talk about how our industry’s wild past shaped us into the leaders we are today. For Mike, it’s about so much more than the title; it’s about giving his people the tools to thrive—even if it means they go on to lead their own stores.

So, whether you’re in the automotive world or just looking to level up your leadership game, this episode will have you rethinking what it really takes to lead. It’s about patience, trust, and a whole lot of heart. And as someone who’s walked alongside Mike on this journey, I can tell you, there’s wisdom here you don’t want to miss.

Alright, keep-the-changers, buckle up, because this week, we're re-running one of the most powerful conversations I’ve had here on Keep the Change. Ever wondered why some people seem to radiate strength, no matter what life throws their way? That's Trevor Hult for you – a guy who's mastered the art of living with authenticity, resilience, and heart.

In this episode, Trevor and I dive deep into his story – from facing bullies to becoming a speaker, coach, and mentor through Core Trainings, a heart-centered leadership program he co-founded with his mom. His journey is a raw, no-holds-barred look at what it means to be your truest self. And trust me, every word packs a punch.

Trevor shares how “your struggles aren’t your burden; they’re your gift,” and he’ll challenge you to look at fear in a whole new way.

Hey, keep-the-changers, Bart here, and welcome back to another episode. Today I’m diving deep today into something that's close to my heart and crucial for all of us in leadership—coaching. Now, I know we’ve talked about it before, but this time we’re pulling back the curtain even further. Why? Because coaching is the game-changer most dealerships are missing.

You see, I’ve been in countless dealerships, and there’s a trend that keeps showing up—leaders who work hard, but aren’t seeing the results they want. And it’s not because they’re doing anything wrong. In fact, these leaders are rock stars at closing deals, putting together sales where others might struggle. But here’s the catch: if we’re only focusing on numbers, we’re missing the bigger picture.

This week, it’s all about how we can move beyond the tactical and into the transformative. What does it really mean to develop your people? How can we shift our mindset, not just as managers, but as true activators? I’m pulling lessons from John Maxwell’s Five Levels of Leadership and diving into how changing our thinking changes everything—including your bottom line.

We’ll also dig into what it means to lead with joy. Not that “skipping through the daisies” kind of joy, but real, deep satisfaction that radiates from your team to your customers. And here’s the kicker—when your team is in joy, everything changes. The customer experience improves, results follow, and you create something truly special in your dealership.

So if you're ready to elevate your leadership game, tune in. We’re going to talk about coaching tactics that actually work, how to shift your mindset, and most importantly, how to help your team believe in themselves so they can crush it on the floor and beyond.

Hey there, keep-the-changers! I’m excited to dive into something that’s been a game changer (actually, a life changer) for me and the businesses I’ve been working with over the past few years. Since the world shifted in 2020, I've been rethinking the way I coach and lead teams. Group coaching was good, but it was the one-on-one coaching that really started to change the game for my clients—and for me personally.

In this episode, I’m talking about what truly elevates team performance, especially in a tough market. You know, I’ve always said it’s not just about getting the numbers—it’s about developing people. So, we’re getting into the nitty-gritty of how one-on-one coaching, setting clear expectations, and building accountability can lead to results that last. I’ll even share insights from Gallup’s research that might make you rethink how you manage your people.

But here’s the kicker: it's not about being a boss. It’s about becoming an activator—someone who inspires, listens, and asks the right questions to bring out the best in others. Whether you’re running a dealership, leading a team, or just wanting to grow as a leader, I think you’re going to find some powerful takeaways here.

Gone are the days of the old-school boss. Today’s workforce—especially millennials—are asking for more. They want a leader who provides clear expectations, ongoing feedback, and a sense of purpose. It’s time to shake things up and become the leader who activates their team to reach new heights.

Hey keep-the-changers, I’m absolutely fired up about today’s episode! I’ve got my good friend and industry powerhouse, Michael Cirillo, CEO of FlexDealer, back on the show, and we’re diving deep into something every dealership leader needs to hear: the secret sauce behind high-performance teams, especially in today’s rollercoaster market.

Now, Michael and I go way back—he was actually the first guest on my podcast—In this episode, we get real about leadership in the dealership, pulling back the curtain on what sets high-performing teams apart in today’s unpredictable market.

Michael and I dive deep into the core traits that successful dealerships share: anticipatory communication (yes, we break down what that means in real terms), vulnerability (and why the hustle culture is dead), and of course, the one word that makes or breaks a team—accountability. We’ve seen it all in our combined years in the industry, and let me tell you, the dealerships that win are the ones that aren’t afraid to get messy, be human, and hold themselves and their teams accountable.

There’s so much we could unpack in this episode, but here’s what I love about this chat: we’re not talking fluff. This is raw, actionable stuff that Michael has seen work in dealerships all over the world—whether in the U.S., Europe, or Canada. It’s universal, no-nonsense leadership that will have you rethinking how you run your team and grow your business.

So, here’s my challenge for you: Are you leading from a place of connection, growth, and accountability? Or are you just getting by, hoping things work themselves out? This conversation will make you think—about your team, your business, and yourself.

Alright, keep-changers, this one’s for you. We’re diving into something that’s been on my mind, and I think it’s about to hit home for you too. Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on the real secret sauce to achieving everything you’ve ever wanted – personal growth and goal setting.

Now, I know you've heard about goals and growth before. Maybe you've even tried it a few times, but let's be real – how many of us are truly committing to that process? In this episode, I’ll walk you through the principles that have shaped my life and career, like the legendary advice from Brian Tracy’s "Eat That Frog" and John Maxwell's "Developing the Leader Within You 2.0." And if you've ever wondered how the top leaders, salespeople, or even the most successful business owners stay ahead of the game, this is it.

We'll be diving deep into why writing your goals down is more than just a task – it’s the difference between dreaming and achieving. I’m talking about the kind of clarity that turns wishes into reality. And listen, I’m not just handing you theory here. I’m giving you the exact exercises that I use, that my coaching clients use, and that have led to real, tangible results.

This episode isn't about hype – it’s about finding that edge, that one piece of the puzzle that can change everything. If you’re ready to stop drifting and start leading, you’re in the right place. Join me as we unpack the steps to not just keep the change but to multiply it.

Hey, Keep the Changers! I’ve got something close to my heart to share with you in this episode. You know, after over two years of Keep the Change, I’ve been reflecting on the journey we’ve been on together. I feel like it’s time to shift gears slightly—not a full detour, but more of a refined focus that feels right in my bones.

I’ve been fortunate to work with businesses, ministries like Celebrate Recovery, and within my bootcamps, helping individuals discover and strengthen their leadership abilities. In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into one of the most vital aspects of leadership: self-discipline. This isn’t just about what you do when people are watching; it’s about the work you put in when nobody is around.

What We Discuss In This Episode: In this episode, I’m diving into what I believe is the most important leadership principle: self-discipline. Yep, that’s right—discipline and consistency. It’s the not-so-glamorous stuff that separates those who reach the top from those who don’t. I talk about some hard-earned lessons on discipline from my own life, including my 39 years of sobriety and the work I’ve done with businesses and ministries. Here’s the deal: If you want to achieve greatness, whether in business or life, you need to get clear on what you want, why you want it, and how you’re going to get there. I’m laying it all out in this episode—practical tips, and some tough love that’ll get you fired up to take action.

Here’s something for you to reflect on after this episode: Which self-discipline mountain consistently gives you the most difficulty? Is it making cold calls, managing time, or sticking to a workout routine? Whatever it is, I challenge you to dive deep and ask yourself why—five times, to get to the root of the issue. Once you understand your "why," you can create a strategy to conquer it.

What We Discuss In This Episode:

What if the key to transforming your automotive business lies not in your sales tactics, but in your ability to lead? What could change in your life if you developed as a leader? How would your influence grow, and what weaknesses could you subtract?

The most profound shift in my leadership journey came from studying John Maxwell’s principles. Reading "Developing the Leader Within You 2.0" by Maxwell transformed my understanding of leadership from being about titles and positions to being about influence. In this episode, I delve into Maxwell’s five levels of influence, discussing how these concepts can be applied within the automotive industry to create more effective and inspiring leaders. Understanding these levels can help middle managers, often promoted without adequate training, to become exceptional leaders who drive both business results and team satisfaction.

Ask yourself these questions..

What could change in your life if you developed as a leader?
How could developing your leadership skills add effectiveness to your role and improve your quality of life?
Are you relying on your title for influence, or are you genuinely leading through earned trust and relationship-building?

Join me in this episode as we explore the transformative power of effective leadership and how you can apply these principles to achieve greater success and fulfillment in your career.

Brent Hatchett is a 20 30 s pastor in Cornerstone Church Chandler Az . In this episode, Brent shares his journey of discovering his true calling in life. After studying broadcast journalism, he landed his first job as a sophomore in college and had three years of professional experience before he even graduated. However, his friend Jamar's question, "Do you want to be Kobe Bryant or Jerry Buss?" made him rethink his career goals.

He went into media sales after graduation because every exec he talked to told him that he needed to understand the sales background to own a TV station. However, after nine months, he discovered that he hated media sales. So he decided to learn about how money works by getting a job at a bank. He stayed in finance for the next seven years but never loved it. He was just doing it.

But Brent is a living testimony of how God can give you things you don't even deserve. He failed every math class but passed the Series 7 exam, which allowed him to sell securities. So, even though he didn't love his job, God gave him grace and enabled him to excel in his work.

Despite still not having a clear vision for his future, Brent had a praying grandmother who took him to church as a child. He got saved at 16 years old, but it wasn't until much later that he felt a calling to plant a church. Brent explained that he grew up in a context where the majority of black churches were led by pastors who were more traditional and not always open to change. He knew he wanted to do something different, but he didn't know what that would look like.

It wasn't until Brent's wife challenged him to think about what he wanted his legacy to be that he began to consider planting a church. He knew he wanted to make an impact on his community and provide a safe space for people to come together and worship. He also wanted to break down the traditional barriers that often exist in churches and create a place where people from all walks of life could come together.

Brent discusses how to overcome challenges and find peace with God. They discuss how surrendering to Jesus, surrounding oneself with encouraging and accountable people, and learning lessons from past experiences are crucial in getting out of a pit and finding freedom. They also emphasize the importance of asking God what he wants from us each day, rather than focusing on what we can get from him. The guest shares how he reframed his personal questions from self-centered to God-centered, and how this helped him find greater clarity in his spiritual walk.

Brent's story is a reminder that finding one's true calling takes time and effort. Sometimes, it involves trying out different things and discovering what you don't like. But it's also a reminder that God can use our experiences and gifts to lead us to our calling, even if we don't know what it is yet.

In today's episode, we're taking a break from our usual guest format to dive into a fascinating topic that has been resonating with me lately: the power of synchronicity and how it has shaped my life and career.

Throughout my journey in the automobile business, from sales to management roles, I've always been drawn to leadership development. Inspired by the energy and passion of Tony Robbins and the teachings of John Maxwell, I began to integrate leadership lessons into my sales training programs. However, it wasn't until the pandemic hit that I started to see the bigger picture and the crucial role leadership plays in personal growth and business success.

In this episode, I'll share with you the exciting news about my upcoming book, "Keep The Change," which explores the 12 Steps of Recovery as a path to personal development and leadership. I'll also discuss how my involvement in founding a Celebrate Recovery group at my church helped me realize the need for stronger leaders in both the ministry and the automotive industry.

We'll also dive into the importance of authenticity and the power of the Jahari Window in understanding our strengths, weaknesses, blind spots, and untapped potential. By increasing our self-awareness and being honest with ourselves, we can raise our potential and become more effective leaders and team members.

As we embark on this transformative journey, we'll explore the ten crucial chapters in personal development, ranging from influence, priorities, character, positive change, problem-solving, attitude, serving people, vision, self-discipline, and personal growth.

We'll also delve into the five levels of leadership - position, permission, production, people development, and pinnacle - and understand how nurturing these qualities can help us build stronger teams, weather economic storms, and ultimately succeed in our personal and professional lives.

Tune in as I delve into the importance of developing the leader within you and how embracing the power of synchronicity can lead to personal and professional growth. We'll explore the concept of focusing on "The One Thing," as mentioned in Gary Keller's book, and how this singular focus can make all other distractions unnecessary. Discover how finding congruency in your life can open up a world of opportunities and help you develop as a leader.

You can also check out my book, "Keep The Change," and pre-order it at a discounted price by visiting KeepTheChangeBook.org.

Life is full of twists and turns. It can be hard to imagine that we can come back from the darkest places, but it's possible. This is the story of a man who hit rock bottom and found his way back through faith and rebuilding, Jeremy Hart.

Jeremy Hart reflects on how he came to know Jesus through a series of unexpected people and events. From his father-in-law to a stranger on a plane and two minor league baseball players, the people who brought him to Jesus were not what he would have expected. But as he says, "when the student is ready, the teacher will appear."

Despite coming to know Jesus, he struggled to internalize that relationship. Instead, he viewed it as head knowledge and didn't let it penetrate his heart. He ended up becoming successful in the financial world but without the emotional or spiritual compass he needed to navigate the highs and lows. He ended up leaving his mentor and starting his own program, which ultimately led to disastrous consequences.

He became obsessed with success and keeping up appearances, to the point where he took huge risks and made illegal decisions to maintain the facade. He was so desperate to be valued by those around him that he lost sight of what was truly important.

It was only when he hit rock bottom, attempting to take his own life, that he realized that he needed to change his ways. He found redemption through faith and rebuilding his life. It wasn't an easy road, but he learned that it's never too late to turn things around.

Through his journey, he learned the importance of humility and taking responsibility for his actions. He also learned to lean on his faith and trust in God, even in the darkest of times.

Life is full of twists and turns, but it's how we respond to those challenges that defines us. Jeremy's story is a reminder that no matter how far we fall, we can always pick ourselves back up and find a way forward. Through faith and a willingness to change, we can find redemption and rebuild our lives.

Addiction is a difficult road to navigate, and for many people, it can feel like there is no end in sight. But for some, there comes a turning point, a moment where they realize that they need help to change their story. This was the case for one person, who had been addicted to various substances for years and was burning out from the constant travel and hard work.

In this episode, we will hear the story of Jennifer Evans, the executive director of Grace Sober Living, who has been sober for four years now. Jennifer shares her story of how she overcame addiction, burnout, and mental health challenges.

Jennifer's childhood was marked by trauma, including sexual molestation and her parents' divorce, which led her to start drinking at the age of 13. However, she was always a high functioning addict and was successful in her career, serving on nonprofit boards, and building a global hearing healthcare program around the world. Despite being successful, Jennifer found it exhausting and was always about performance, which led to burnout.

Jennifer felt that alcohol was a way to escape and numb the pain of her past. She felt that alcohol was exciting and that she could escape reality through it. However, she realized that her addiction was taking a toll on her life and she needed to seek help. Looking back, she realized that there were many times in their life where she could have made a different choice, where she could have chosen a different path. But it wasn't until she was truly ready to change that the opportunity presented itself.

Addiction is a difficult journey, but with the help of a higher power and the support of others, it is possible to overcome. It takes strength and courage to ask for help, but it is worth it in the end. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, remember that there is hope, and there is always a chance to change your story.

Jennifer now leads the day-to-day operations of Grace Sober Living and has developed a transformation program. She is excited to share her testimony, energy, and the victory she has achieved in her life. Jennifer's story is an inspiration for anyone struggling with addiction or past trauma, and her message is that recovery is possible.

Will Ramsey (Will Ramsey Ignites) is the Care Pastor at Engage City Church, life coach, and motivational speaker. After experiencing the heartbreaking loss of his son, it was impressed upon Will that he needed to reach out and help lift others who are dealing with pain.

In this episode we will explore the story of Will Ramsey, an author who recently published a book about his journey through grief and loss 'A Father's Journey through Darkness: Growth from the Loss of a Son,' Ramsey's story is one of resilience and hope, and it highlights the power of faith to help us navigate life's most challenging moments. Will shares the story of writing his book which talks about his experience of losing his son and the journey of the three years that followed.

Ramsey's journey began in February 2020 when he lost his son, Brock. This tragedy set him on a path of grief and self-discovery, and it ultimately led him to new opportunities for growth and healing. One of these opportunities was Car Church, a weekly gathering of car enthusiasts who also happen to be people of faith. Ramsey explains that Car Church was the first step in his journey towards hope and healing.

The idea for Car Church came to Ramsey during a morning show he used to host called The Morning Word with Will. During one of these shows, he felt called to bring together a group of people who shared his passion for cars and his love for God. The result was Car Church, a weekly gathering where people could come together to worship, pray, and talk about their cars.

Car Church quickly became a source of community and support for Ramsey and the people who attended. It was a place where they could share their struggles and their triumphs, and where they could find hope and encouragement in the midst of difficult times.

But Car Church was just the beginning of Ramsey's journey. Ramsey's story is a powerful reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is hope. With faith and the support of others, we can find the strength to overcome our struggles and emerge stronger and more resilient than ever before.

This story is a testament to the power of listening to God's call and being patient with the process. It also highlights the importance of respecting our loved ones' opinions and loving them unconditionally. If you're feeling called to something, pray, seek counsel, and allow God to guide your steps. Sometimes, it might not make sense at first, but trust that He knows what's best for you.

On this week's episode of Keep the Change, Bart joins Hannah Kirkpatrick. Hannah Kirkpatrick, who is the wife of Chris Kirkpatrick and was Mrs. American 2021 has a powerful story to share with us, one of pit pain and progress. She has walked a journey that we believe needs to be shared in order to help others.

As a mother of three and a wife, Hannah has experienced her fair share of difficulties. Despite being nervous about sharing her story, she understands the importance of being transparent and using her pain as a catalyst to help others. Her core calling in life is to be a conduit for the divine and to serve others, rather than putting herself on a pedestal.

The search for perfection is a topic that many of us can relate to. It is the drive to be the best we can be, to achieve the highest levels of success, and to be recognized for our efforts. However, what happens when this pursuit of perfection becomes all-consuming? When it starts to erode our authenticity and leave us feeling like we're living a lie?

Hannah shares her story of shifting from a place of perceived perfection to one of self-discovery and authenticity. We discuss how the quest for perfection can erode our true selves and how Hannah nearly lost herself in the process. Through this conversation, we explore the themes of self-discovery, vulnerability, and the power of embracing our imperfections.

In her journey towards self-discovery, Hannah discovered the power of authenticity. By embracing who she truly was, she was able to break free from the cycle of perfection and start living a more fulfilling life. She learned that the quest for perfection was, in fact, the greatest flaw in the world, and that the real shine comes from embracing our authentic selves.

Hannah's story is a powerful reminder that the pursuit of perfection can be harmful, and that the path to happiness and fulfillment lies in embracing our authenticity. By being true to ourselves, we can break free from the expectations of others and start living a life that is truly our own.

In this episode, Hannah takes us back to the beginning of her journey and shares what led her to a place of pain. She also talks about her experiences as Mrs. American and how it has changed her life. Hannah is a woman of change, a platform for change, and we believe that her story will be an inspiration to those who listen to it.

Join us as we listen to Hannah's powerful story and learn about the journey that led her to where she is today. Get ready to be inspired and blessed by this episode.

This week, we have Terri Brinston, a registered nurse, teacher, international motivational speaker, life coach, consultant, and author. Her passion is helping people achieve their goals in life, and she has recently published a book called "Grateful for the Journey" that reflects on her journey and the challenges she faced during the Covid-19 pandemic.

In this episode, we explore the power of belief and how it can shape our lives. Our guest shares her personal story of how a spark of hope from her father helped her break out of some limiting beliefs that have helped change her life.

It all started when her father became ill with colon cancer and she had the opportunity to care for him. During this time, her father suggested she become a nurse and this sparked a realization within her that she could be more than she ever thought possible.

She shares how she overcame her struggles with reading and low self-esteem, and how being vulnerable and asking for help was the key to her success. Through hard work, determination, and a positive attitude, Terry was able to pursue her dream of becoming a nurse and has since made a significant impact in the lives of others. She encourages others to never give up on their dreams and to always believe in themselves.

We are grateful to have had the opportunity to speak with Terry and we hope her story inspires others to never give up on their dreams and to always believe in themselves.

Dr. Anne Katona Linn is an educational and behavioral consultant who specializes in creating positive school climates for students and adults. She uses a coaching model and works with communities to achieve this goal. She has experience in supporting and teaching educators, administrators, and children, and specializes in mental health, substance use, special needs, bullying, and trauma prevention and intervention. She is a certified coach in the Competent Learner Model and Board Certified Behavior Analyst with a focus on Autism Spectrum Disorders and Behavior Disorders.

She is someone who has personally experienced the power of forgiveness and recovery in their own life. She shares her own personal journey, reflecting on her upbringing in Pennsylvania, and the car accident she experienced at the age of four that left her with PTSD and negative memories of her time in the hospital. She explains how she spent much of her life feeling like something was wrong with her and coping with triggers and panic attacks.

Dr. Anne's story is a powerful reminder of the importance of addressing trauma and mental health, and the need for more open and supportive conversations surrounding these topics. She also stresses the importance of understanding the impact of traumatic experiences on children, and the role schools and communities can play in creating a safe and positive environment for them.

She shares how she initially resisted the idea of recovery and wanted to achieve great accomplishments instead. But through a series of events and a choice retreat, she had a breakthrough moment where she cried and felt like a different person, and realized that God was using her broken pieces to help her become better and walk the path He had for her.

In today's society, the topic of trauma and its aftermath is still met with a lot of shame and stigma. It's important to remember that just because someone may not have reacted in the way we expect them to in a traumatic situation, it doesn't mean they are weak or at fault. In fact, the fight, flight, or freeze response is a natural reaction to traumatic events and it's something that none of us can truly predict.

Her journey is a powerful reminder that we can all overcome trauma and that with the right support and tools, we can live a life of significance and purpose. It's also important to remember that healing is a journey and it's not always a straight path. But with the right mindset, anything is possible.

Thank you for listening to Keep the Change, and we hope Dr. Anne's story will inspire others to seek help and support in addressing their own experiences with trauma and mental health.

This week, we have Chris Kirkpatrick, a life coach and entrepreneur with businesses like Life 180 and a podcast on personal finance. Chris shares his journey from his humble beginnings to his current success and the role that faith has played in his life. Chris is a person of boundless energy and a heart for helping others, and he brings hope and inspiration to the show.

In this episode, Chris shares his journey from his humble beginnings in Vermont to his current success. He talks about growing up in a double wide trailer without much education around money and how he became a competitive athlete, even competing for the Olympics for a period of time. But Chris's story is not just about athletics; it's also about faith and the role it has played in his life.

We hear from Chris Kirkpatrick about the importance of resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity. Chris talks about his own journey, from the highs of having a successful business to the lows of having to drive for Uber to make ends meet. But through it all, Chris maintained his faith and kept a positive attitude, believing that everything was happening for a reason.

Chris shares how he hit his breaking point and had a screaming match with God, but then the very next day, landed a multi-six-figure marketing deal from a passenger in his Uber. It's a powerful reminder of the transformative power of resilience and faith, and how those qualities can help us overcome any challenge.

Chris talks about the impact that a man named Dell had on him, from driving him to his first big track meet at the age of 16 to being a constant source of support and guidance. Chris reflects on the importance of having someone in your life who lifts you up and changes your trajectory, and he even suggests creating a Dell Award to honor those who have had a similar impact on others.

Quoting from our conversation with Chris “As I sat in the back of my Uber, I couldn't help but feel like I was at a crossroads in my life. I had just been through a rough patch in my business and had been forced to take on a gig as an Uber driver to make ends meet. But as I chatted with my passenger, I couldn't help but feel like things were about to take a turn for the better.

My passenger, a successful businessman, was clearly impressed by my marketing skills and asked me more about my work. Despite my current circumstances, I felt a sense of pride in my profession and decided to be honest with him about my current situation. It was a risky move, but I felt a strong desire to be authentic and genuine in our conversation.

To my surprise, my honesty paid off. My passenger was interested in learning more about the Dream 100 concept and asked for my help in implementing it in his business. Before I knew it, he had given me his business card and asked me to come into his office for a meeting.

Within just 48 hours, my life had completely changed. I went from feeling lost and uncertain to being exactly where I wanted to be. It was a moment that shifted the direction of everything for me and solidified my belief in the power of authenticity and vulnerability.”

Chris shares how he went from the pit to peace and how anyone can make that journey. He talks about the power of resilience and how he has overcome challenges and setbacks to get where he is today. Chris's story is full of hope and inspiration, and we know you'll be moved by it.

Chris's story is a powerful reminder of the impact that one person can have on another, and how paying it forward can have a ripple effect for years to come. Tune in to this week's episode to hear more about Chris's journey and the role that mentorship has played in his life.

Jeff is the owner of Deep Waters Coaching where he helps christian men rediscover hope and purpose after trauma, addiction, or loss so they can overcome shame and reclaim their true identity.

He is a writer, speaker and coach who’s committed to helping others turn their suffering into a superpower. He can regularly be found sharing his story of trauma, addiction, and recovery in classrooms, on stages, and in coffee shops to inspire and empower others. Jeff is a Husband, Father, and Storyteller, as well as a talented voice actor and content creator who just so happens to be a highly-skilled handyman too. Jeff lives with his wife and two kids in Peachtree Corners, GA.

In this episode, Jeff shares his powerful journey of addiction, recovery, and finding purpose.He talks about the moment he woke up in a psych ward, filled with shame and confusion, not knowing how he had ended up there or what had happened. He shares how he struggled with a covert resentment towards God, medicating his feelings with addiction instead of dealing with them head on.

But through the support of treatment and his community, he was able to overcome his addiction and rebuild his life. He learned to trust in God's plan for him and discovered a deeper sense of purpose and meaning. Now, he is sober and committed to helping others who are struggling with addiction.

We chatted with Jeff about his journey, his work as a coach, and his passion for storytelling. We also discuss the importance of listening and how it's more than just hearing words, it's about showing up fully and being present. We also dive deep with Jeff and get to know more about his journey and the work he does. We believe that by listening authentically and organically, we can truly understand the heart and soul of the person on the other side. Communication is a crucial part of any relationship, and it's important to not just hear what someone is saying, but to truly listen and understand their perspective.

Jeff discusses his journey with faith and how it has shaped their career and life. How he started volunteering at a youth center and eventually became a pastor and started a nonprofit focused on helping young men between the ages of 15 and 25. Jeff had a traumatic accident during a father-son retreat and experienced a severe opioid addiction and PTSD as a result. Despite this, he was able to continue their ministry work and eventually overcome their addiction through the support of their community and therapy.

He also reflects on his experiences with regret and how he has come to embrace and cherish even the most painful and difficult moments in his life. Jeff believes that we are often limited in our understanding and perspective due to our own expectations and desires, and encourages everyone to let go of these limitations in order to see more clearly.

Jeff shares his own personal journey of struggling with mental health, feeling outside of acceptance and experiencing the consequences of their choices. He eventually found himself working as a handyman and feeling a deep ache for something more, but also carrying a backpack full of shame. He was eventually invited to a retreat with a Christian entrepreneur, where he had a life-changing experience and realized that his purpose was to help other men navigate their own experiences of brokenness and find the good within it, reframing it as a new assignment and alignment to a greater purpose.

We hope you enjoy this conversation with Jeff and take away valuable insights and inspiration. Remember, you have the power within you to turn your suffering into a superpower. This is a raw and honest conversation about the struggles of addiction and the power of recovery. We hope that it will inspire and encourage anyone who is facing similar challenges in their own lives. Thank you for listening!

Pat Williams is a basketball Hall-of-Famer, co-founder of the NBA’s Orlando Magic, and former general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers. Also one of America’s top motivational and inspirational corporate speakers, Pat has addressed employees from many Fortune 500 companies. Pat is also the author of over 100 books, his most recent title is REVOLUTIONARY LEADERSHIP.

What we discuss in this episode:

Pat shares the story about how his father introduced him to the game of baseball in June of 1947 and how the sites immediately struck him, the sounds, smells, and color of baseball. At seven years old, he remembers deciding that he wanted to play baseball for the rest of his life.
He admits that those were big dreams, but he made it to the minor leagues playing for the Phillies organization with enough determination.

"But I had a better future in the front office than I did on the field in the Phillies, and they noticed that. They gave me an opportunity to learn the ropes as a minor league operator for different teams in their farm system. That paved the way to my switch to the NBA in 1968 where I enjoyed a 51 year run."

Being a perpetual student is something that Pat Williams offers as advice to anyone seeking to grow.

"I encourage young people where they are in their careers to find mentors, find life coaches, find sages, that you can pick their brains and you can learn from them and you can stay in touch with them. When you have questions that seem to be perplexing you, go to those people and learn and pull from them. In my profession, whenever I found someone that I could learn from or benefit from, I would pepper them with questions, and seek them out, and try to spend as much time with them as possible."

John Clements is a medical practitioner whose career has spanned over 50 years. He has a heart for children in developing countries. His early career included a year running a Christian mission hospital in the Peruvian Amazon, followed by postings as Chief Medical Officer in Bangladesh and Afghanistan with Save the Children Fund. He joined the global leadership team for infant and childhood immunization at the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva. Over his 17 years with the UN, he worked in around 100 countries, mostly in the developing world. He has taught public health at the postgraduate level at a number of universities. He writes extensively and has published many books, book chapters, and articles in the medical literature on public health issues. In 2003, he moved to Australia, where he worked as a consultant with several UN agencies and Australia-based international health agencies. He is an associate professor at the University of Melbourne. In 2020, he was awarded membership in the Order of Australia for his work in international health. He has two adult sons, both of whom work in the international aid sector. He was an elder in an evangelical church for a number of years before moving to house churches.

His story really kicks off when he was in primary school, age 10. With a very strict school mistress who insisted they take a book out of the library every Friday and bring it back the next Friday, and by chance - by God, John took a specific book out which made him curious.

It was the life story of Albert Schweitzer. He was born in 1870 in Germany, and he became a world-renowned organist. He played bars and things like that. He had a lot of success with his recordings Organist toured Europe, becoming the darling of Europe at the age of 30.He felt the call of God on his life. He went to medical school, got qualified, and spent most of the rest of his life in Gabon, Africa, the darkest continent in the world.

It was a very primitive situation. He got involved, built a hospital, provided services where none were available, ran a hospital, operated it, and did incredible work.He became internationally recognized for his writings, and in 1956 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. So here was a man of great stature and moral courage who had just spoken to the deepest part of John's heart.

And he was certain that he wanted to do what Albert Schweitzer did right away.John studied the right subjects at school. He went through medical school, was trained in pediatrics and obstetrics in public health and tropical medicine, and then, to his amazement, he went to dark Peru and was offered the chance of running a hospital in the Amazon by a Catholic mission organization called Jas International, operating out of Liverpool.

Talking about his experience and how people from there didn't trust West Medicine and the white nurses and doctors that were running it. They regarded someone with pale skin and brown eyes as a gringo.

From being referred to as a "gringo," which was an obstacle to overcome, and the fact that they were very reluctant to come to the hospital at first to then calling him El Doctoral, which was good.

Fast forward to when he came back from Peru and met his wife. And just like everyone else, his faith had quite a few dips. John encourages young people who are struggling with their faith that hey need to know that it's quite normal to have a dip in their faith.

John found another passion to become a chaplain and do the work of Christ, for which he eventually became an elder in a church. He also has written a book called "The Gospel Unadorn." Targeting the mature Christian in easy-to-understand language, the book explores the difference between faith alone in Christ alone and those elements of church religion that have been hoisted onto the backs of believers.

Have you ever walked through a situation in life that left you wondering why God would allow you to experience the hurt, pain, or even discouragement that resulted? There is no doubt that some challenges in life are the result of poor choices, but for every believer, the reality is that we will walk through hardship and experience pain.

One of the most beautiful aspects of Christianity for our persecuted brothers and sisters around the world are the stories from the Bible of those who came before who were persecuted. The Bible is rich with accounts of people who suffered for their faith in different ways.

Now, this is one incredible life story that you must listen to too. Malinga is the pastor of Christ Life Church in Zambia. Pastor Malinga went from serving in ministry to being in prison for two years and three months for a mistake he did not commit. He was a "normal" everyday kid growing up in Zambia. After high school, he became actively involved in the local church, doing youth ministry, cleaning the church, going to the streets, feeding kids on the streets, and doing hospital visitation. The leaders in the church then saw the call of God in his life, and they decided to give him the First Church to lead at the age of 20. But things don't always go as we want. It is a guarantee that we will have trouble in this world, as Jesus himself did. But, with his power and presence in our lives, we are called to endure and thus shine the light of Christ in a dark world.

In this episode, Pastor Malinga talks about his entire journey and what ultimately led him to accept God’s will while being a "prisoner" and become a full-time pastor and preacher, massively impacting many people in prison.

"What is it?" I began to wonder.What's the meaning of life when you've been wrongfully imprisoned, when you're eating bad food, and when you're sleeping in a crowded place full of bed bugs?

"What is life? And it was in those moments that the Lord started teaching me that life is an opportunity that God gives to us. Life is an opportunity to love, to serve, and to honor God and mankind. that even though I was wrongfully imprisoned, the law had given me a great opportunity in prison to love my enemy, to save my enemy, and to honor God by doing that."

After two and a half years, finally, the day of defense and judgment came. On that day, the same man that I'd helped, who had now recovered, stood up in the courts of law before the judges and the police officers.

And he pointed at me and said, "This man, he's an innocent man." He doesn't know anything about all my criminal activities. I simply carried him in the vehicle like an ordinary passenger. And those words, which he spoke, opened the doors for me to be released from prison.

Years ago, when I was a kid, I used to go to my grandmother's house probably every other weekend. And we would listen to a Play-By-play guide named Ernie Harwell, the voice of the Detroit Tigers. Now, Fast forward to 2022 today. Every night during the hockey season, me and my beautiful wife Mary, get to sit on the couch and listen to my favorite broadcaster. And that is Nick Nollerberger. Nick is the Voice of The Barracuda, the play-by-play guide for the San Jose Sharks Top Farm team, and also my son.

In this episode of Keep The Change, Nick Nollenberger tells his life story, his journey, and how he's been chasing his passion since he was a kid.

Nick tells the story of how his brother wouldn't allow him to play in hockey games unless he was in charge of refereeing. This goes back to when Nick was a kid, and the two of them played on the floor with sticks in the living room. That's how long ago he realized he liked broadcasting and that he could pursue that as a career if he wasn't an athlete.

Early in his career, he worked as the second announcer and public relations assistant for the Kannapolis Intimidators, the single-A club of the Chicago White Sox. After playing for a single year at the minor league baseball level, Nollenberger moved on to the NAHL's Odessa Jackalopes for a year before joining the Barracuda for the 2016–17 season.

Nick says, "If you're able to treat people, respect, be a team player, be hardworking, be passionate, and be kind of a carrier of the torture of the organization in a positive light, then you add value to yourself, and you have an opportunity to build relationships and those relationships, whether.

You're looking for something in return or not; hopefully, they'll propel you into something beyond where you're at because it is relationships that will probably get you the next opportunity and, uh, reputation. So it's little things that go a long, long way."

Despite our emotional response to motivational tales, most of us don't adjust our behavior until we face a similar challenge in real life. Bruce Miller is the guest on this week's program. Miller Motors' current owner is a cancer survivor who has learned to find the good in even the worst of situations. In other words, Bruce beat cancer. He is devoted to Christ, successful in business, and an outstanding leader.In this episode of Keep The Change,Bruce opens up about his difficult upbringing as an only kid to two alcoholic parents. His insights on loss, stress, service, wellness, and appreciation will motivate us to pursue inner and outer radiance and help us become our best selves.

From dropping out of high school to managing the largest Chevrolet dealership in New Orleans to being laid off while battling cancer and still maintaining his faith in God.

Bruce started to discover new ways to enjoy life. Through family, community, friendship, and duties, he found the unexpected places where happiness may be found. In addition, he discovered it by reconnecting with God, who alone can satisfy our most fundamental wants.

This episode got to me emotionally, and it might get to you, too. I admire Bruce’s courage and strength for himself. The changes he made appear to be doable for anyone facing similar challenges.

The practice of learning to surrender one's burdens to Jesus (at the cross) and then letting them go without returning to "chew on them."Learning to trust God is an integral part of releasing our burdens to Him, and this is something we must cultivate through time with God's assistance.Sometimes the miracles we pray for don't happen, but we still need to keep our eyes peeled for the miracles God brings.We hope this story inspires you to make those changes you have been considering.

Mark Gill is the pastor of Celebrate Recovery at Sun Valley Church in the Phoenix area. He's also the prison Pastor of Prentice Prison Ministries at Sun Valley. He is the owner of Gill Auto Service, which has owned a company that has serviced automobiles for several years.

In this episode of Keep The Change, Mark Gill shares about overcoming addiction and his experience of confronting death and going through change. Each of us has a purpose for being here, and God will utilize your life in unexpected ways. Jesus offers a freedom that disarms the unknown, so you don't have to live in fear. Your future has serenity, and your presence has a purpose. Remember this if you reach your lowest point: You are not alone. When you trust God, He will guide you to transform lives because He sees value where you see nothing.

Mark Gill loves working on cars and helping people struggling with addiction, but his life looked very different not too long ago. He has a story that you literally need to hear to believe.

Mark discusses how Christianity and the message of Jesus have impacted his life after having first-hand experience with what it takes to overcome addiction. Mark discussed the time in his life when his life began to turn around after years of battles with drugs and depression after losing her sister from an accident he feels he's responsible for. After a violent incident left him shaken, Mark changed his life.

Regarding issues like addiction, it can frequently appear as though our struggles in life are insurmountable. A solution to our current predicament can occasionally be challenging to discern. It might be a guiding light for our own life to hear from those who have gone through these situations. Sometimes, when we can reach back, the beauty of our battle becomes apparent.

After years of addiction, Mark has found healing, recovery, and purpose in life. The story of his spiritual path to recovery is memorable and moving.

Mary Nollenberger is an award-winning business person of the year and has been named one of the most influential leaders in the real estate industry. She is also a counselor for her church, a wife, mother, and grandmother — and whether it's in business or life, Mary demonstrates what it means to lead with service and how to overcome life's obstacles by realizing that in God's eyes, we are enough.

What we discuss in this episode:

As a highly-competitive individual, Mary shares that her past has helped her realize the importance of celebrating victories and slowing the pace from time to time. Of course that's a realization that is often only made after seeking the next mountain to climb, or the next project to embark on. The hindsight is 20/20, and Mary offers her wisdom that in order to effectively serve others, it often requires us to slow down and focus our strength and energy into where it will have a lasting impact.

Mary shares about times when she lacked confidence in herself — something that so many can relate to. Whether it's from insecurity or comparing ourselves to our peers, insecurity is common. As Mary explains, insecurity is also something we can overcome.

"I don't have a history with addiction, or things that people would associate with celebrate recovery. I am a grateful believer in Jesus. He is helping me to overcome the comparisons that fuel my insecurity by giving my heart the promise that to him, I am enough."

In this episode of Keep The Change, Bart is joined by his oldest son, Ty Nollenberger — an entrepreneur and owner of a successful cafe and coffee shop. During their conversation, Ty shares his story about creating a successful restaurant business in California.

What we discuss in this episode:

Ty shares the story about how he got into the restaurant business, which all began as a 15-year-old working as a bus boy at a restaurant. After years of serving, bartending, and attending culinary school twice, Ty worked to learn each facet of the business before venturing on his own. This is a critical piece to achieving success. Are we willing to put in what it takes, or do we fall victim to the need for immediacy that often plagues our society?
When it comes to developing the grit necessary to do hard things, Ty recommends that it should start by being self-aware and honest with yourself. What do you want in life, and what do you have a passion for? When we can figure out and admit those things, life tends to fall into place much more naturally. We can remove obstacles and have enough persistence to push through them.
Movement creates clarity. We rarely find ultimate clarity by remaining sedentary. As we take action and move closer toward what we want, the goals and process for achievement become much clearer.

Do you ever feel like life is a constant uphill battle? In this episode of Keep The Change, Bart shares some of his experiences facing challenges and how to find a greater purpose in life.

What Bart shares in this episode:

Each of us inevitably will go through challenging seasons in life. It doesn't matter if we're young or old; life will present us with challenges that make it feel like we're pushing a '52 Chevy pickup truck up a muddy hill alone. Of course, those moments can refine us and make us stronger and, in many cases, help us find life's deeper meaning and purpose.
Each of us has a calling to fulfill. We are each here for a greater purpose than just going from day to day surviving and trying to make ends meet. Bart shares an experience in which he felt the prompting of the Holy Spirit testify to him what his purpose in life should be.

Bill Goodwin is a John Maxwell coach and has been helping individuals and organizations develop leadership skills for over 30 years. In this episode of Keep The Change, Bart Nollenberger and Bill Goodwin talk about the process of personal transformation, why it's important, and how to accept it in our lives with grace and hope.

What we discuss in this episode:

Bill recounts an experience he had as a 15-year-old in which he realized he needed to make some changes in his life when his mother caught him both demonstrating behavior (swearing) that was unbecoming of how he was raised and in a lie. He distinctly remembers in that moment deciding that he needed to decide who he wanted to be in life.

Each of us has moments like Bill. Some are more severe, and some are simple everyday experiences that many can relate to. The most important aspect of accepting transformation is realizing that transformation is needed and wanted.

Often we may find ourselves wondering how we arrived at our current circumstances. We may feel the need to ask, "Why me?" Both Bill and Bart discuss the importance of taking ownership over your circumstances so that you can accept that transformation is required. It's not until we desire to transform our lives that true, lasting change can occur.

"If it's worthwhile, it should be worth the while." - Michael Cirillo

Michael Cirillo returns for a deeper look into his career journey and the lessons that have helped him enjoy a successful career as the CEO and co-founder of the automotive tech and marketing agency, FlexDealer.com.

How to make the journey worthwhile:

Michael points out that anything worthwhile should be worth the while. In other words, a valuable lesson he's learned is that, despite wanting the journey to go faster at times, it has taken the exact amount of time that it needed to take for him to truly grow and learn.
It's easy to feel inadequate when contrasted against the perception of success that we're bombarded with online. Someone is always willing to glamourize the journey — a guru only willing to show you the staged photograph of them sitting on the beach. The danger is that the journey rarely looks the way it's depicted. It requires much more hard work, doubt, failure, learning, competition, and discipline. There is no magic bullet to success.
Bart asks how Michael sets and achieves goals. Michael speaks to the importance of setting smaller, more achievable goals. In doing so, motivation increases, and he believes that aids in his ability to accomplish the end goals he has set.

Listen to the full episode for more insights about how to make the journey worthwhile by Michael Cirilo and Bart Nollenberger.

In this episode of Keep The Change, Bart recaps some powerful moments from his past guests and some of the things that stood out most during those interviews. Each guest's unique story has contributed to who they are today. They have experienced the transformation deeply rooted in the Savior's atoning sacrifice.

Key takeaways from this episode:

Bart talks about how each guest has positively affected his life. Thirty-seven years ago, Bart entered a rehab center. He was 150 lbs and was an absolute mess in every area of his life. He confesses that he was selfish and narcissistic. He was addicted to alcohol, attention, and drugs. It's that experience that led him to produce this podcast, to hopefully share that the experiences from our past can lead to extraordinary outcomes in the future.
Bart explains that he developed a relationship with God along the way. Speaking about his recovery, "my walk with God in staying clean and sober has freed me from my past hurts, habits, and hangups daily. Without God, my life doesn't work..."
Each guest on the show has shared the importance of keeping the change in their lives. It's not about money, wealth, or entrepreneurship (although those tend to be common themes throughout their life experiences), it's more about how they've each risen from humble beginnings and leveraged those experiences as a source of strength.

Pat Williams is a basketball Hall-of-Famer, co-founder of the NBA’s Orlando Magic, and former general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers. Also one of America’s top motivational and inspirational corporate speakers, Pat has addressed employees from many Fortune 500 companies. Pat is also the author of over 100 books, his most recent title is REVOLUTIONARY LEADERSHIP.

What we discuss in this episode:

Pat shares the story about how his father introduced him to the game of baseball in June of 1947 and how the sites immediately struck him, the sounds, smells, and color of baseball. At seven years old, he remembers deciding that he wanted to play baseball for the rest of his life.
He admits that those were big dreams, but he made it to the minor leagues playing for the Phillies organization with enough determination.

"But I had a better future in the front office than I did on the field in the Phillies, and they noticed that. They gave me an opportunity to learn the ropes as a minor league operator for different teams in their farm system. That paved the way to my switch to the NBA in 1968 where I enjoyed a 51 year run."

Being a perpetual student is something that Pat Williams offers as advice to anyone seeking to grow.

"I encourage young people where they are in their careers to find mentors, find life coaches, find sages, that you can pick their brains and you can learn from them and you can stay in touch with them. When you have questions that seem to be perplexing you, go to those people and learn and pull from them. In my profession, whenever I found someone that I could learn from or benefit from, I would pepper them with questions, and seek them out, and try to spend as much time with them as possible."

Jonathan Dawson is the founder of Sellchology, a sales training company that works with businesses across the USA and Canada. Known for his relentless optimism, Jonathan loves to teach others how to utilize the principles of human psychology to have a positive influence on others, serve them, and help them achieve lasting change in life.

What we discuss in this episode:

Bart and Jonathan recount the history of their friendship and how they got to know one another. Through a hilarious turn of events, including Bart getting fired and Jonathan being hired as the replacement, they've formed a powerful Christ-centered friendship.
Jonathan shares that his mother's contagious optimism heavily influenced him. He inherited his father's strong work ethic. The result? Graduating high school at 15 years old and going to college. By the time he was 17, he moved out of his parent's house and was a junior in college. At 18 years old, he invested in real estate, and by 19 years old, he owned several rental properties.
Jonathan recounts his experiences to paint a powerful picture of how God orchestrates things on your behalf designed to help you grow through mortality and closer to Him.

Daniel Gomez is an Award-Winning Motivational Keynote Speaker, Business Coach, Corporate Trainer, Executive Coach, and Podcast of the Year Recipient. He tells the compelling story about a time when his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer, and what it was like feeling like God has placed him in unfamiliar territory. That experience caused him to look deep inside himself. Today he's here sharing how he keeps the change.

What we discuss in this episode:

Daniel shares about how he found a lot of success working his career in the car industry, but all of that keep to a screeching halt when five years ago, his wife was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. "It was like we were hit by a runaway truck."
It's easy to think that just because we have money in the back or that our house is paid off or that we're successful that God won't place us in an area that we're not familiar with.
It was that experience that caused Daniel to rely more deeply on God. "I think the biggest lie that I, you hear this all the time, right? Well, God would never give you more than what you can handle. He sure does give you more than you can handle, because if you can handle it, you don't need him. And that's the biggest myth."
Daniel recalls making a clear choice that he would be there to honor his wedding vows and serve his wife, and through those moments he realized how much power God was granting him.

Mike Anderson is the CEO and partner at the Rikess Group, a successful automotive consulting firm, and joins Keep The Change to share his story of learning to overcome adversity at an early age. Each of us experiences hardship in life, but learning to overcome our challenges can help make us stronger.

What we discuss in this episode about overcoming adversity in life:

Mike recounts the story about his mother picking him up from school and leaving their father. He lived with his mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother until he was 17 years old. Extreme poverty and doing what he could to make ends meet to help the family helped provide him with perspective about adversity and what it means to overcome it.

"By the time I was old enough to leave that environment, adversity didn't seem like it was in my vocabulary. We were pretty well impoverished... I had to share a room with my mother until I was 17."

Adam Marburger is the CEO of Ascent Dealer Services and owner of Alton Family Martial Arts & Fitness in the Greater St. Louis area. His recently released book, "You're the F*cking Problem" explores how we can get out of our own way to create the life and business of our dreams.

What we discuss in this episode:

Adam shares that he is a giant work in progress. "I'm a God-loving and God-fearing, man. I'm a father to three incredible, incredible little girls. Um, I'm kind of a psychopath for business. Um, I'm a junkie for personal development, um, and I'm a work in progress every single day. I just try to get a little bit better knowing that I'm extremely flawed. Um, I'm patient with myself now a little more than I used to be, and I'm extremely self-aware and being self-aware has allowed me to do more than I've ever done in my life. So that's kind of in a nutshell who I am and, and, and who, what I like to do."
Adam shares his backstory of living with a father who had a drinking problem, and a mother who "covered it up with perfume." He recalls a specific experience where he decided that he didn't want to be anything like his father and that someday he would make something of himself.
There are many defining moments that help shape who we are today. Those experiences, either good or bad, have a unique way of shaping and refining us. For Adam, it was when his daughter was born. "Something kind of snapped inside of me. God blessed me with this little girl. I have a lot of responsibility — I have to make some changes including some of the things I was doing and some of the people I was hanging out with."

Fred Lennartz (Subprime Hero) and Lou Ramirez (Car Guy Coffee) are career-long best friends who are on a mission to influence businesses, communities, and relationships in a way that brings about a positive legacy for all.

What we discuss in this episode:

Change is something that we have to do in order to achieve a high standard of excellence. If we stay the same, we get the same results. If we keep doing the same thing, we get bored.
Not just in business but also in life, it's important to adapt so that you can remain ahead of the curve. The world is changing so quickly that if we let it change around us, we are going to lose many opportunities.
Consistency is required in order to obtain excellence. Without consistency, it's easy to feel lost or broken, or confused. It's important to get clear on the direction you want to go and then go!

Will Ramsey (Will Ramsey Ignites) is the Care Pastor at Engage City Church, life coach, and motivational speaker. After experiencing the heartbreaking loss of his son, it was impressed upon Will that he needed to reach out and help lift others who are dealing with pain. In this episode of Keep The Change, Will shares the story of how he healed from the loss of a child and how those struggling with one of the many challenges of life can do the same.

Key takeaways about healing from life's challenges:

Life at the moment is not absolute. It can be difficult to see the bigger picture when stuck in the moment and while experiencing life's challenges, but Will, through his impactful story explains that good can come from bad.
Will had to find out about his son's passing over the phone and didn't have the opportunity to say goodbye — a nightmare no parent should ever have to experience. But through his trial, Will shares that God spoke to him even on the worst day of his life.
Trials can become triumphs. They can lead us to the greater good. It is possible to find light amidst the darkness and eventually, become overwhelmed again by the light.
Will explains that it's vital to focus forward — to remain focused on what's in front of you and what God wants you to be doing. "You can't stay stuck in that moment of loss because it will consume you until one day, you eventually die."

Chris Saraceno is a business executive, real estate investor, speaker, and leader who has, over the past 36 years, discovered what surrounding yourself with the happy and prosperous people, coupled with hard work, can bring over a lifetime.

Key takeaways about finding peace in all areas of your life:

Chris explains that finding success in one's life requires a positive mindset, something that he shares has always been a natural part of who he is.
More important than being a positive thinker is having people who are a positive influence — people who get us to think bigger and to believe in ourselves; something Chris shares his gratitude for.
Personal development and personal growth are not something that has to happen in a silo. Chris shares stories about influential people who have helped shape his mindset, vision, and self-belief.
Chris learned from a mentor that the most prosperous and happy people are focused and understand spirituality. They understand that there is something greater than themselves.
Gratitude plays a major role in finding peace, no matter the circumstances. Every day we are bombarded with setbacks; maybe as a conflict with a spouse or child or business partner. When we can feel grateful for the little things in life, we are on the path to fulfillment and peace.

Eustace Mita is an entrepreneur and a businessman at heart. He's the Chairman and CEO of Icona Resorts, Mita Management, and CEO of Achristavest, LLC. Earlier in his career, he founded Mita Leasing, which became one of the top ten leasing companies on the east coast.

Beyond his business ventures, Eustace is a man of God who believes in the power of integrating faith with business, and why that leaves a lasting impression for decades.

Key Takeaways about how to leave a lasting impression:

Eustace's company "Half a Car" influenced Bart more than any other place he had ever worked in his entire life. Bart explains that the company had a soul. It had a healthy culture and integrated faith into the business at every level.
Anyone who works within the retail automobile industry knows that the company Half A Car was a real difference-maker and has had a lasting impact on the industry.
Eustace's first job was as a busboy in a hotel in Avalon, New Jersey as a 13-year-old. From there he worked at a gas station and reminisces, "I've been in automotive and real estate development all my life."
Eustace shares that his dream as a young man was to own a car dealership. "I had pennies in the pocket bar, nothing in the bank, you know, that story. And so I said to myself, who do I think the sharpest guy in the businesses, for me, it was a guy by the name of Roger. So I sat down at danger 24 and I wrote him a letter and I said, you're the best I want to learn from the best. If I don't hear from you, I'm going to be on your doorstep in seven days."
To leave a lasting impression requires others to leave a lasting impression on you. That way you can understand your internal feelings when impressed upon and then consider how you can leave that same feeling upon others.
Eustace shares the importance of happy and healthy workplace culture and how that will leave a lasting impact on the employees that work for the company.

Paul Martinelli is the past president of the John Maxwell team and has built five multi-million dollar companies. After building his cleaning business from nothing to millions, and then co-founding and building The John Maxwell Team into a globally recognized public speaking and training organization with over 20,000 members, Paul has proven he understands the formula for success.

What Bart and Paul Martinelli discuss in this episode:

Paul shares that he was not raised with a safe upbringing. It wasn't safe emotionally. It wasn't safe verbally. He recounts going to school in the third grade with a black eye, which caused him to suffer from low self-esteem early on.
He started his first company which was a commercial cleaning business, not because he had a passion for cleaning toilets, but because he felt it was becoming of the self-image he created for himself. "I figured any dummy could clean toilets and I was a dummy."
Paul believes that God placed an angel in his life. Patrick Hayes was someone he ran into while trying to sell him cleaning services. Patrick handed Paul a copy of Think and Grow Rich, and that sent him down a path of living a life bigger than he could have ever imagined.
Most people struggle to find their purpose in life and that might be keeping them from seeing that the answer is right in front of them. It might blind them from seeing the angels that have been placed in their way with hints about where they should go.
It's not until we look back that we realize how much we've been prepared along the way.
How we show up in our lives is how we show up. There is no private good or private evil.
Paul shares how we each operate through a learning model. Everything we do today we've learned from someone else. Even things that someone didn't specifically teach us, were intuitively gifted by God with the awareness to take that next step.

In this episode of Keep The Change, Bart chats with Michael Cirillo, the founder of marketing technology company FlexDealer, #1 Bestselling Author, and host of an industry-leading podcast. Michael shares his story of recovering from severe depression and how that experience has helped shape much of what he's accomplished today.

What we discuss in this episode with Michael Cirillo:

We are not defined by what we do for a living. We are not defined by our past.
We are children of a loving Heavenly Father who has sent us to experience life on earth. If that's the case, is failure really an option?
Just because others don't have faith in you, doesn't mean you have to lack faith in yourself.
Michael explains that struggling with severe depression ended up becoming something that has blessed his life to the present day.
Weakness can become a strength. It's possible. There is hope. It's possible to keep the change.
