Author: SLCAutoPodcast April 15, 2022 Duration: 18:00

How would you like to be so driven and so confident that you’d achieve your goals that it scared you a little? What if you were so willing and able to do anything to reach those goals that it made you feel virtually unstoppable?  Our guest, Richard Weis has cultivated a life where this is his reality. In this episode, Richard will share his incredible story of growth, and at the end he’ll provide the unexpected clues that allowed him to build a 6 store empire, creating a wonderful life for himself, his family, and his team. 


Behind every thriving auto shop, dealership, or industry supplier, there's a story of how it got there. Success Leaves Clues: An Automotive Industry Podcast digs into those stories, moving past the myth of the solitary genius to explore how real growth happens through shared knowledge. Each conversation pulls back the curtain on the day-to-day realities and pivotal decisions that shape careers and businesses. You’ll hear from shop owners navigating expansion, technicians mastering their craft, service advisors building client trust, and the investors and vendors whose support keeps the entire ecosystem running. The dialogue gets into the specifics-the operational tweaks, the leadership challenges, the customer service philosophies-that actually move the needle. This isn't about abstract theory; it's a practical look at the automotive trade, built on the premise that the most valuable insights often come from someone who has already walked the path you're on. Tune in for honest, detailed conversations that feel more like a mentorship session than a broadcast, all focused on the tangible clues that lead to lasting results in this demanding field.
