Exploring the Automotive Services Industry 🛠️ 🚗 In our latest Asset Class Spotlight, we looked under the hood of the dynamic Automotive Services industry. Here are our 6 key takeaways:

You know, the funny thing about knowledge is that we generally take it for granted. We amass so much over our lifetime, that it never seems like that big of a deal. The fact is, it's a huge deal when you dedicate your entire career in a single space like Automotive. I'm just one member of the team at Quantum⁵ who have dedicated our lives to the auto industry, adult education and technology design. Let me know if you'd like to talk about how Quantum⁵ may be able to help your organization transform. Also, reach out if you'd like talk about cycling or skiing. I can hold my own on those topic too! #automotive #autodealership #automotivetraining #salestraining #oemservices

Well remember I am just one data point; however Joe Allen who works closely with War Room and it’s “posse” (audience) and Steve Bannon in particular, who wrote the foreword for his book and brought Allen into War Room as a regular contributor. Description of “Dark Aeon”… Humanity Is Consumed by Relentless Transformation Like a thief in the night, artificial intelligence has inserted itself into our lives. It makes important decisions for us every day. Often, we barely notice. As Joe Allen writes in this groundbreaking book, “Transhumanism is the great merger of humankind with the Machine. At this stage in history, it consists of billions using smartphones. Going forward, we’ll be hardwiring our brains to artificial intelligence systems.” The world-famous robot, Sophia, symbolizes a rising techno-religion. She takes her name from the goddess—or Aeon—whose fall from grace is described in the Gnostic Gospels. With an academic background in both science and theology, Allen confronts the paradox of what he calls “good people constructing a digital abomination.” Dark Aeon is nothing less than a cri de coeur for humanity itself. He takes us on a roller coaster ride through history and the emergence of Scientism, and from government-mandated mRNA vaccines to the weird visions of cyborg billionaires like Elon Musk. From Silicon Valley to China, these globalists’ visions of humanity’s future, exposed and described in Dark Aeon, are dire and terrifying. But Joe Allen argues that humanity’s salvation is within our grasp. Only if we refuse to avert our eyes from the impending twilight before us.

When you think about your competition remember there are no bad cars on the grid. This comment was made by Ross Brawn, at the time F1 Technical director for Ferrari. He made the comment when he was seen looking at the last place car on the grid. I remember this like it was yesterday and it was probably 20 years ago now, but it stuck with me. When Brawn offered this nugget, the commentator was confused “what do you mean, these are 3 seconds a lap slower than yours” – Brawn replied, “we can learn something from every car, ever car has something amazing, they may be 3 seconds slower a lap, but they are still amazing cars, I bet they have one or two things better than us.” You may think you have everything, but everyone’s kit is good, no one sells trash. Treat every solution with the respect it deserves, you offer different a product, you have a different position & different values – every competitor can be learned from, even what you consider the worst. Competitors should drive you, without competition the evolution of products it lost – the net result the customer loses and so do you. Finally - speak bad of your competitors to customers and you’re done. Push your self up not others down.
