In over three decades, I've learned the truly great car dealerships are only great because of one thing leadership. So I'm sitting down with the great men and women. Inspiring automotive on Tim Talks Automotive Leadership and beyond. You welcome everyone to yet another edition of Tim Talks. This is going to be a fun one. This is one of my buddies.


00;00;25;20 - 00;00;55;02

Speaker 1

This is one person that I've known since 2015 when she was at, in fact, one of the first, actually the first road trip that I took when we started CarNow. when she was at Wesley Chapel Toyota, I believe I want to welcome, Lynne Hudson, who is the director of marketing for Toyota, Tampa Bay and, West Shore Honda.


00;00;55;03 - 00;01;21;15

Speaker 1

Just a little bit of background, on why I have Lynne here. And what I'm so excited about is Lynne is taking not only is she have a big, big job as director of marketing at those two incredibly successful dealerships, part of the amazing, award winning, just phenomenal run organization that is Morgan Auto Group. but she has a passion for leadership.


00;01;21;17 - 00;01;46;21

Speaker 1

And, I want to really hone in on what she's doing as she serves her community, with leadership. Because the reason we did this podcast, you you saw it on the launch podcast, hopefully, is that every dealership that I go to, quite frankly, every company that I observe, it's the good company. It's the most successful companies.


00;01;46;21 - 00;02;12;01

Speaker 1

There's one common denominator and that is leadership. And Lynne's passion is leadership as a whole, but most importantly, leadership among women in our space, which I have, we have some incredible women at CarNowl. Roxanne, does that just one, huge award recognizing her and, excited about what there's these incredible women are doing not only in our space but others.


00;02;12;01 - 00;02;20;21

Speaker 1

So big, long introduction. There's just a lot to get in. But, welcome, my friend Lynne Hudson. Welcome to Tim Talks.


00;02;20;24 - 00;02;29;09

Speaker 2

Thank you so much. I'm so excited to be here. So thank you for that long introduction. It makes me feel old.


00;02;29;11 - 00;02;40;25

Speaker 1

And it's been a minute. Oh sorry. I got I got a new toy. Guys. Just bear with me. But anyway. Yeah. Lynne, talk to me. So so so so what you been up to as well?


00;02;40;27 - 00;03;08;21

Speaker 2

Let me start here at the dealership. You had mentioned Morgan Auto Group and leadership within the organization. I've really stepped out and done some leadership outside of the organization. But the reason is because of the leaders that we have here. They're inspiring. They're amazing. My direct leader Marshall's is incredible. And so I really wanted to reach out of kind of branch out my hands, right, and touch the women that are outside of the organization and see who we could bring into automotive space.


00;03;08;24 - 00;03;27;10

Speaker 1

Yeah. That's amazing. In fact, one of our, female leaders in, I'm not sure I can say her name or not, but, one of our female leaders that's made a monster impact on our company, is actually going through one of your courses even now. And just the feedback from from that has been incredible.


00;03;27;10 - 00;03;48;20

Speaker 1

So I wanted to unpack that. you know, the one of the key things is, as you started out getting certified through John Maxwell and anything. John, I've never met the man. I met his original partner, Dick Peterson, years ago at the Lexus store when he was still a pastor at, Or he was telling me the story of when he was still a pastor in San Diego.


00;03;48;22 - 00;04;12;02

Speaker 1

And if you've ever, heard me communicate or speak, I apologize, number one. But if you if you if you have heard that, there's either no less than one, if not 20 John Maxwell quotes, probably my favorite one of the quotes that absolutely changed my life was, you know, you can tell John's all over the place, obviously.


00;04;12;04 - 00;04;30;06

Speaker 1

as we all age, we spread out a little bit. I don't think he slowed down at all, but his his three words that changed my life were just for today. Nothing we can do about yesterday. We can look at the game and we can try to get better. tomorrow is not promise. But we all have today.


00;04;30;06 - 00;04;44;11

Speaker 1

And when he said that, that was nearly 20 years ago, it literally changed my life. So. So unpack that. Tell us a story, a little bit of how you got started, how you got certified, and what that transition to, with what you're doing now.


00;04;44;14 - 00;05;00;18

Speaker 2

Yeah, I'm going to start when I got into the car business, because even though it was a while ago, we're going back to 2011. I was going through a really bad time in my life. I was going through a divorce. My ex-husband didn't have a job at the time. I was a stay at home mom of three, and before that we had a great life living on the golf course.


00;05;00;18 - 00;05;20;15

Speaker 2

Doing great, right? Your average upper class, middle middle class Americans? so now I had to go out and get a job, and I was kind of freaking out. I walked into Wesley Chapel Toyota, and I was shaking. And, at the time, Patrick, that was the GM there. I sat down at his desk and I said, I want to sell cars.


00;05;20;17 - 00;05;35;11

Speaker 2

I've never sold cars before. Really good with people. I know I'll be great at this. I promise you, I'll sell a ton of cars in the first year, and then you can make me a manager. And he just, like, kind of looked at me. I was like, what are you even talking about? Yeah. He's like, okay, I like your grit.


00;05;35;11 - 00;05;51;06

Speaker 2

Like, like you are funny. So he shook my hand. He's like, you have the job. So then I take out this like out of my back pocket. I'm like, and since I'm a stay at, you know, a mom of three, stay at home, they're really used to me being there. So these are all the days I need off in the next year.


00;05;51;09 - 00;06;19;12

Speaker 2

And he's like, I don't even know. Like, you're blowing my mind right now, so I leave, I come back, I start, I sell like 250 cars my first year and truly, I was the only woman on the sales floor. I put my head down and I just focused because I had to make money. Fast forward the next year, I get put into management like you promised because Pat's a man of his word and we start leadership training, with Trish Bazan, who was a John Maxwell leadership coach.


00;06;19;14 - 00;06;43;08

Speaker 2

And at this point, Tim, I needed it not just for leadership. I needed it in my life. Like, John came to me at the right time and I just I drove into these books and started listening to him and really kind of leading by him at home because, you know, he he's a very spiritual man. But then also at work, I wanted to be the best leader I could be, the best mom I could be.


00;06;43;10 - 00;06;57;06

Speaker 2

Every year Trish would say to me, hey, when are you going to go to training? When are you going to become a coach? When are you going to become a mentor? And every year I said, I'm still learning. I need more, I need more Covid hits. Right? And I've been through it all. Now I feel like I'm on my feet.


00;06;57;07 - 00;07;20;08

Speaker 2

I'm a great, leader in the organization, and I kept moving up. I call him, I say, hey, I'm ready, I'm ready. She said, actually, you were ready five years ago, but I'm glad mentally you feel like you're ready. And since then, I have been coaching women, men and women. But I have several strong women based, organizations that that I team up with.


00;07;20;11 - 00;07;42;25

Speaker 2

So I've been coaching women one on one and mastermind groups. And now I'm rolling out this intentional living class, which will be a stretch and real relaxation to get your mind, body, and spirit on the same page and really excited about it. My goal is to grow myself, grow the women around me, right? And keep it. Keep it consistent.


00;07;42;28 - 00;08;16;21

Speaker 1

Now that's amazing. And one of the things that that I like to see is, you know, especially if it makes you proud when you when you pour into people and you see the end result. Because, look, we live in a broken world and people deal with stuff, you know, like we all have stuff that we're dealing with. And if you don't and quite frankly, you know, because of social media, we live in a world that, you know, in especially in this, well, in all businesses, let alone the car business, we, we, we, we portray on social media that everything's great, right?


00;08;16;24 - 00;08;39;14

Speaker 1

But there's there's always something going on and what can really happen when we, we change our mindset. You know, they said in Scripture a long time ago, be transformed by the renewing of your mind and thinking about things differently. So let's unpack, you know, especially leadership in the dealership, a women in the dealership as well, because I've had the blessing to be a part of this.


00;08;39;14 - 00;08;55;06

Speaker 1

See some incredible women. but what is one of the things that when they come and say, hey, I need help or hey, I want to take this class, like, what are some of the blocks that that we still see? Or maybe the their persona is or something in this space that that you're helping them kind of break through?


00;08;55;06 - 00;09;01;02

Speaker 1

What are you what are you seeing when they're when they're going knocking on your door saying, hey, I kind of I might need to take your class.


00;09;01;05 - 00;09;25;16

Speaker 2

You know, I think to our women, there's still the idea that if you're raising a family, it's tough to move up because dealership hours are long. They are so long. But if you work for an organization that, respects and is looking for a female leader, still work with you, right? Morgan, when I started, I was working these crazy hours, and I just thought, oh, I'll.


00;09;25;16 - 00;09;40;20

Speaker 2

I'll keep my family to myself because I don't want to get fired. And then one day, my GM sat in front of me and he said, do you like being here until nine, 10:00 at night? I said, no, my kids are at home feeding themselves. And he said, then let's fix it this way. I don't want to get demoted, demoted.


00;09;40;20 - 00;09;59;12

Speaker 2

He said, I never said, that is, I'm never going to demote you because of your family, but you have to find an organization that's willing to work with you and grow you based on your skill set, your beliefs, your morality right, and not the fact that you're a woman or so on so forth. Whether you're a woman or a man.


00;09;59;14 - 00;10;17;22

Speaker 2

and you have to have the grit and you have to have the consistency and the mindset to go after it, you know, that truly does go hand in hand if you don't have that, that grit to say, I want to move up and I'm not afraid to say it, you just you have to jump in and do it.


00;10;17;22 - 00;10;42;04

Speaker 2

So having those tough conversations, it's having that direct conversation with the people that have helped you grow. And dealerships get a bad rap. I think that a lot of say, oh, those old car guys, they're not growing, they're not training, they're not leading, you know? But that's not true. If you are on social media, you see the amazing organizations run by women hiring women, developing women.


00;10;42;10 - 00;10;49;00

Speaker 2

And that's there's handfuls of them, hundreds of them. And you just have to find the right one for you.


00;10;49;02 - 00;11;13;02

Speaker 1

Yeah, that's so true. I mean, you mentioned, you know, our most. Well, not a lot of people know Patrick. Pat at at Beaver Toyota, incredible human, Tom Moore and the incredible people at, at Morgan Auto Group. guys, they're out there. I mean, they are out there. I mean, they're persona out of the dealership, you know, the plaid, the plaid coat, you know, cigaret smoke and, you know, you know, sign here.


00;11;13;03 - 00;11;33;19

Speaker 1

Let me cover it up with my tie. I mean, there is some great human beings in this space, and we've been fortunate enough to surround yourself. And look, I would argue, you know, there is enough of them out there that, you know, if things aren't that way and your dealership, you know, I would I, I think there's a lot of people that that need good people.


00;11;33;19 - 00;11;57;11

Speaker 1

Look, we need good people, in our business. And I'm sure that, the Morgan Group and Beaver and all these organizations. And there's a bunch out there, CMA and and on and on and on with, Lisa leading that company, does an incredible job. And what you mean, so, so let me what is the typical like responses that you're getting struggles that when you have those you'd lead the class.


00;11;57;11 - 00;12;29;14

Speaker 1

But those one off, is there something that continues to repeat itself. Is there is there, specific struggles that women in general, need, need help with or encouragement? when they're, when they're coming to you and taking and taking these classes. And then at the end, the follow up question, I guess if you could just expand on that is like the end goal, like when you finish this class and that person, there's X, like, what do you want to see and what can they you know what what what do they feel when they leave your your classes.


00;12;29;16 - 00;12;58;00

Speaker 2

Yeah absolutely. So some of the things that we identify are the gaps right. So where are your gaps. Do you have a hard time handling confrontation. Do you have a hard time creating good habits and getting rid of some bad habits? When I look at the women that I've worked with and that it's been hundreds over the last few years, I think one thing really resonates with me and it's that women are truly hard on themselves, right?


00;12;58;02 - 00;13;30;08

Speaker 2

They do a million tasks, they're all taskmasters and they want to balance it all. And so they think they're failing. They have that feeling of unfailing because I can't do a million things wonderfully. So it's figuring out what's important to you, right? And living that intentional life. And that's why I think the intentional life, book, John Maxwell is book, but also implementing that into your day life is critical because if you know what's truly important to you, and then every single day you look at that and say, okay, today I'm going to be intentional.


00;13;30;10 - 00;13;54;07

Speaker 2

I'm going to take out the things that are important and make sure I focus on those things that truly are right. And, for women, I think that they're really they're easy to put themselves down. Right. And you have a hard time getting them to say great things about themselves. And I won't say I will. I won't say it in a sexist way, Tim.


00;13;54;07 - 00;14;14;05

Speaker 2

But in my male classes, typically it's the reverse of that, right? We have a lot of men that are able to say all of their accomplishments, right, and then have a hard time picking out their flaws, but that's how we've been raised. That's truly how you've been raised. And so for women to be able to say, hey, I'm really awesome at this.


00;14;14;07 - 00;14;30;07

Speaker 2

I am such a good communicator and, I want to be a GM because I'm an awesome leader. It's it's hard to get that out of a lot of people. They have to see it first. So for me, it's getting to that point.


00;14;30;09 - 00;15;05;12

Speaker 1

Yeah. I mean, things have changed since since I've, you know, I was you know, I was a kid. I mean, heck, I was just telling Lynne before we went live, I am going to be a grandpa next month. So, I grew up in the I grew up in the 80s and, and 90s and, and listen, this, this social media, you know, we live in a world where, you know, growing up, especially these little girls looking at, you know, what they see and judging themselves by how many likes they have and, and getting into a whole because they don't look a certain way or, or talk a certain way or whatever it is.


00;15;05;12 - 00;15;24;21

Speaker 1

It's it's I'm finding there's some so and men too, but, but especially young ladies kind of breaking through that, that look that's stinking thinking. I, I, I have not read that book. I am going to go out and read it. I think it's the one Maxwell book that I probably haven't read, but I think something key, at least in my life, you know, as far as leadership.


00;15;24;21 - 00;15;42;14

Speaker 1

Look, we've gone through a tough couple years. I mean, you know, there's been a lot of sickness in our family and death and, but a lot of drama and, you know, as spinning plates when you when your company continues to grow and in trying to continue to keep the same, you know, the same character and, and then it grows and it's, it's so there's a lot going on.


00;15;42;16 - 00;15;42;24

Speaker 2

Yeah.


00;15;42;25 - 00;16;14;10

Speaker 1

So I think it's easy for us to feel sorry for ourselves a lot. And, and then get into that complacency that it, it is just what it is, something that's helped me. I have a quiet time every morning, but I just, I, I, I'm grateful like I, I'm thankful as I see things that like little things. And I think that mindset, at least for me, has really helped to like thank you that I like I thinks that I can see that I can walk, that I can walk that like the little thing that we just I mean, because there's people that can, you know what I mean?


00;16;14;10 - 00;16;35;28

Speaker 1

And I think that sets the tone now sometimes, you know, you get out as soon as you have that great quiet time in your and you're I'm thankful for this. And someone pulls out in front of you and then, of course, your horse Carson. But we're human, right? So, so at least setting the tone for gratitude, I would urge everyone listening today, to to test us on that, I dare you.


00;16;35;28 - 00;16;54;23

Speaker 1

I double dare yet take some time every single morning and at night. Or you're depending if you're a night owl or early bird to be thankful, for the little things. Because I guarantee you, the majority of people in the world would trade places with you immediately. so tell me, tell it what's what's in store. Like, what are you planning to do?


00;16;54;23 - 00;17;19;05

Speaker 1

I mean, this is incredible. And as a matter of fact, I'll probably say it one more time. we are going to. But your contact information, Len, in this link below. Before we land the plane here. Just to make sure that people can contact you if they want more information. Maybe you're at sitting at a dealership and you've got some incredible, women in your, in your dealership or men, but you want to plug them in.


00;17;19;05 - 00;17;24;23

Speaker 1

I'm assuming these things are virtual as well. So can you tell us a little bit about that and how that works?


00;17;24;25 - 00;17;26;09

Speaker 2

Because absolutely.


00;17;26;11 - 00;17;58;26

Speaker 1

Yeah. Yeah I do want to say everybody, especially with success, I want to remind people Michael Jordan had a coach, LeBron James, as a coach. You know all these great athlete. Tiger Woods had a coach right. Constantly. And no matter how good we are or we think we are or how many social, media followers we have or how many people click on our podcast, we all need a coach.


00;17;58;26 - 00;18;04;19

Speaker 1

So tell us how that works and how you, how you communicate and how you have these classes.


00;18;04;21 - 00;18;21;22

Speaker 2

Well, I want to tell you, because you had said, where are they getting out of the class at the end? And I want to say there really isn't an end. So the classes are nine week sessions, typically. But most of my women's groups that I have are they stay right. They don't just come for nine weeks and then finish it.


00;18;21;22 - 00;18;42;06

Speaker 2

They're rolling into each other and building upon that group. And and it's funny because my group that your coworker is in one of your CarNowl, employees is in leaders. Yes, absolutely. someone else called me the other day from the group and said, hey, I know I've been doing this now since you started, so she's been on there for three years.


00;18;42;06 - 00;19;00;06

Speaker 2

Spoke after book. She said, but this one, I'm going to just sit. I want to listen. I want to absorb, she said. You have so many amazing people in this class. And just from the first class, I know I'm going to learn more than I can offer. So please allow me to listen more than speak because she's she's a leader in her organization.


00;19;00;10 - 00;19;28;14

Speaker 2

She is been in leadership for 25 years. So I was so impressed. Right. Because just off of one call, listening to 13 other women, she was able to absorb that much information and feel like she can be a better listener than teacher. That's huge. That's huge. And that's what I'm looking for to build these communities. Men and women that can help each other grow, can motivate each other, hold each other accountable and give each other perspective.


00;19;28;14 - 00;19;44;19

Speaker 2

And that's why I offer both men and women just men, just women and then all age groups. Right. So if you go to my website, there's a calendar and it will show you all the free classes that I offer on top of the ones that you can sign up for that or not. You can also sign up for one on one coaching sessions.


00;19;44;19 - 00;20;04;18

Speaker 2

Those are offered in groups you can't. You can't just sign up for one coaching session, right? You don't get much out of 30 minutes. But, I definitely can sell a block to you for the calendar. You can just go in and sign up and that's there to help you personally, professionally. And it's like Tim said, everybody needs a coach in life.


00;20;04;21 - 00;20;24;11

Speaker 2

It's just a matter of what you're looking for. And I'm there just to ask questions. Keep you moving forward and perspective. Right. We don't look at yesterday just like John Maxwell always says, like you don't look at yesterday unless you're trying to figure out how you can be better today. But what can we do today to make tomorrow better?


00;20;24;13 - 00;20;30;19

Speaker 1

Yeah, sorry about that. I had to great. So I was get ready to talk and I was like, I.


00;20;30;22 - 00;20;34;02

Speaker 2

I just you were speechless. I left you speechless.


00;20;34;05 - 00;21;07;01

Speaker 1

Like, and, and walk away. So, so how is this so, so let me just recap for everyone. 2011 had some issues if and and and you know, you were put in charge, you became a single mom. Yes. And and you just had to make it. And the fact that I don't know, if everybody knows but 250 cars in your first year of selling cars is is kind of a big deal.


00;21;07;04 - 00;21;35;13

Speaker 1

that that's pretty incredible. And to understand that you want to continue to grow. Listen, I just want to say this, you know, life is, I said this in the, in the first podcast, and, and I'll just say land the plane here pretty quickly. But one of the most impactful, talks that I've ever heard, I was at a charity event and I heard Ben Carson give a keynote and and literally I've heard I don't I don't want to say thousands.


00;21;35;13 - 00;22;00;22

Speaker 1

Probably not thousands, hundreds of keynotes, hundreds of speeches in my life. And the main thing, and I'll say it quickly, what that that's just kind of like the just for today thing with, with Maxwell that just stuck in my head that I want everybody to understand. as we talk about leadership, Ben said, look, I grew up and, you know, I was very young and I found out that my, my, my dad had an entire different family.


00;22;00;28 - 00;22;23;26

Speaker 1

So my mom left. So she became a single mom. And him and his brother, we're not doing well at school. In fact, they called him dummy, and they other kids in the class would get grades and they'd look. Hey, Ben, what did you get? I got an A, and and he would get the worst grades in his class until his sweet mother, who could not read who only had a third grade education, made him and his brother.


00;22;23;26 - 00;22;44;03

Speaker 1

And he said, I hated her for it made him and his brother read books and do book reports, write book reports and read them to her. But in doing so, he found out that even though I was in inner city Detroit and sometimes there wasn't food in the refrigerator, and sometimes there wasn't, he that I could read a book and I could go anywhere.


00;22;44;03 - 00;23;05;18

Speaker 1

And then I became the smartest person in the class. Then I was going up to the other smart kid and say, what did you get? And I went from, dummy, but this is what he said. If you didn't catch the first episode, this is what really marinated in my life. if you don't know Ben Carson, then obviously ran for president in 2016.


00;23;05;18 - 00;23;35;07

Speaker 1

He became one of the first neurosurgeons, in fact, one of only eight African-American neurosurgeons in the world and the first neurosurgeon to do a complete separation of, Siamese twins attached to the head. I don't know what the the medical term. So brilliant guy, but here's here's where we land the plane. He said, listen, I went from dummy to all these things, but I had the same brain.


00;23;35;09 - 00;23;36;16

Speaker 1

I had the same brain.


00;23;36;18 - 00;23;38;08

Speaker 2

That makes me want to crash.


00;23;38;10 - 00;23;54;20

Speaker 1

I had this same brain. So I want to encourage, I want to pour out to you whoever's listening. I don't know what you're going through. I get emotional thinking about it because I've been through so much. We all go through my week.


00;23;54;23 - 00;23;55;16

Speaker 2

Yeah, but.


00;23;55;16 - 00;24;38;01

Speaker 1

I don't know what you're going through. We've all had stuff. Yeah, stuff. But we have the same brain and that same brain. When we renew our mind, when we plug into programs like lens and others and start unpacking that we can get more out of life. We owe it to our spouse. I tell my team all the time, when you get home after a day's work or what you're doing, and if you can't look in the mirror and said, I and say, I let nobody else's look at no social media post, no clicks, no likes.


00;24;38;01 - 00;25;03;25

Speaker 1

But you are honest with yourself and say, I did everything that I could to better myself today and to take care of my family. That's taking care of myself mentally, physically, spiritually. And what did I do to better those three things today, ladies and gentlemen, when we think that way, that just for today mentality, I'm telling you, I know you're going through whatever you're going through, you will make an impact.


00;25;03;29 - 00;25;26;07

Speaker 1

And that's when you live a life more abundantly. And that is the key not only to success but impacting others. Because at the end of the day, when this is all said and done, it's not going to matter about all this stuff we had, but the lives as leaders, and it doesn't matter what your title says. I don't care what you said, man.


00;25;26;08 - 00;25;58;24

Speaker 1

It doesn't matter if you're if if you're bottle washer, you can be a leader, you can make a difference. And that thank you so much for the time you spent. I'm excited about getting this out. Hopefully this encourages women and men not only in our space, but in different spaces, to make a difference in their lives, first of all, and then in the lives of every one around them.


00;25;58;24 - 00;26;19;06
