In this episode, Lucas and David are joined by Lauralee Schmidt at Vision. Lauralee opens up about the challenges she faced with a former shop manager who, she later learned, had attempted to bankrupt her shop to buy it at a low price. The hosts and Lauralee also discuss the importance of processes and policies in running a successful automotive business, including Lauralee’s recent experience teaching a class on this topic. The conversation takes a lighthearted turn as the group delves into industry relationships, social media habits, and the challenges of balancing business ownership with family life.
