SDR #361: How I Mastered Dealership Financial Statements

In this episode of Service Drive Revolution #361, Chris, Hogi, and Adam continue our origin series by jumping back in time to the moment Chris realized that financial statements are the secret key to everything in a dealership. ]

Chris shares a wild story about trading his own consulting services just to get a back-door education on how dealership financials actually work—and how a chance meeting with a former Kansas City Chiefs player changed his perspective.

Plus: A deep dive into the trap of fatalism in America today, and why understanding the numbers is your ultimate industry superpower.
