Stop Checking Boxes and Start Building People

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0000

On this episode of ASOTU Unscripted, Erroll Bomar sits down with Ed Roberts for a conversation about leadership, trust, and the habits that quietly limit growth. While much of the industry is focused on technology and AI, Ed brings the discussion back to something more fundamental: people. He shares why leaders often become trapped in a cycle of checking boxes, carrying too much themselves, and unintentionally preventing others from growing.

Drawing on decades of leadership experience, Ed explores the difference between being busy and being effective, the importance of empowering others, and why trust has to be given before it can be earned. The conversation also tackles the industry's growing fascination with AI, offering a reminder that no technology can fix a broken process or replace genuine human connection. At its core, this episode is about letting go, developing people, and creating organizations where others are empowered to thrive.

The Handwritten Letter That Helped Her Find Automotive

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0000

On this episode of ASOTU Unscripted, Erroll Bomar sits down with Ginny Bowden, a fourth-generation dealer whose family's Chevrolet dealership has served its community for more than 111 years. Unlike many dealer operators, Ginny didn't grow up in the business. She built a life of her own, lived in different places, explored different industries, and never expected that automotive retail would become her future. Then a handwritten letter from her father changed everything.

Ginny shares the emotional story of returning home, learning a business that had been in her family for generations, and finding the confidence to lead while honoring the foundation built by those who came before her. The conversation explores family legacy, self-doubt, leadership, change, and the people who make a business worth building. Along the way, Ginny reflects on the responsibility of stewardship, the importance of trusting your instincts, and why the future of automotive remains deeply connected to human relationships.
