Hey there, Keep the Changers! Today I've got a truly special episode for you today. You know, I've had the privilege of meeting some incredible leaders throughout my career, but every now and then, someone comes along who really makes you sit back and think. That someone is Chad Staples, a guy who’s not just making waves in the automotive industry but also living out the principles that make a real difference in life.
In this episode, Chad and I dive deep—deeper than we usually go—into what it really means to be a leader today. We’re not talking about the old-school, iron-fist management style that some of us grew up with. Nope, we’re digging into the heart of leadership, where discipline meets empathy, and where faith guides every decision.
Chad opens up about his journey, from the days of grinding it out in dealerships to starting Elevation Dealer Services, and how his faith and commitment to discipline shaped his path. We talk about the power of emotional intelligence in the workplace, the role of discipline in personal growth, and what it means to truly lead by example—both at home and in business.
Chad’s honesty and vulnerability will challenge you, inspire you, and hopefully, leave you with some nuggets of wisdom to apply in your own life. Whether you're in the automotive industry or simply striving to be a better leader in your own life, this episode provides actionable insights and inspiration.
