What happens when a self-proclaimed “back-row sitter” decides to step into the spotlight? In this episode , I’m joined by Dr. Gary White, a man whose story is as raw as it is remarkable, a seasoned business health coach and Maxwell Leadership certified professional. From growing up in a family of tradespeople to becoming a transformational coach with Maxwell Leadership, Gary’s journey is one of resilience, revelation, and the relentless pursuit of impact.

But here’s the twist: Gary didn’t always see his own worth. Like so many of us, he wrestled with imposter syndrome, self-sacrifice, and the sneaky anchor of self-doubt. Until one pivotal moment—and one powerful lesson—changed everything.

We talk about the profound shifts that come when you stop undervaluing yourself and start investing in your growth. Gary unpacks how tools like DISC assessments and emotional intelligence aren’t just buzzwords—they’re game-changers for leaders who want to truly understand and connect with people. Along the way, you’ll hear stories that will make you laugh, lessons that will make you think, and insights that might just light a fire under you to take the next step in your own journey.

• What does it take to go from being a spectator in life to owning your seat at the table?
• How can understanding human behavior transform not only your leadership but your relationships?
• And why is stepping into your value the ultimate act of service to others?

Gary doesn’t just tell his story—he invites you to see yourself in it. But to truly get the wisdom, the humor, and the heart of this conversation, you’ll have to press play.

Hold onto your hats, folks, in this episode I’m chatting with none other than Josh Potts, the GM of Mac Haik Chevrolet in Houston, Texas. Now, before you go, “Oh great, another car guy,” let me tell you something: Josh isn’t just any car guy—he’s the car guy. With a track record of explosive growth and a knack for overcoming obstacles, Josh shares the blueprint behind his dealership’s meteoric rise to becoming one of the top Chevy stores in the country.

From nearly doubling service goals to creating an award-winning culture that pulls talent from across the industry, Josh doesn’t hold back on the secrets to his success.We’re diving into how he:

• Built a sales machine that’s knocking on the door of selling 1,000 cars a month.
• Transformed his service department into a million-dollar-per-month operation.
• Created a culture so magnetic, top talent from competing brands is lining up to join his team.

He also dives deep into the personal side of leadership—balancing fierce ambition with authenticity and faith. Plus, hear the inspiring story behind his newest venture, Only God Gear, a faith-driven apparel line with a mission to make a difference.

Hey friends, welcome back to another epsiode, and let me tell you—this episode is one you’re gonna want to buckle up for. We're diving deep into something that’s been on my mind (and probably yours too): self-discipline. Yeah, I said it. The D-word.

But here’s the deal—it’s not about waking up at 4 AM and eating protein powder for breakfast. Nope. It’s about those tiny promises we make to ourselves every single day… and whether or not we actually keep them.

• Ever said, “I’m hitting the gym tomorrow”… and then didn’t?
• Or, “I’m sticking to this diet”... while holding a donut? 🍩
• Or how about, “I’m calling those 20 clients today”… and somehow ended up reorganizing your sock drawer instead?

Yeah, we’ve all been there. And let me tell you—it’s not just about breaking promises. It’s about what those broken promises do to your self-image.

In this episode, we’ll chat about:

• Why self-discipline isn’t punishment—it’s actually freedom.
• How asking “Did I do my best today?” might be the most powerful question you ask yourself.
• The sneaky little ways habits become either your greatest ally… or your biggest enemy.

Plus, I’m sharing insights from 75 Hard, lessons from John Maxwell, and a little real talk about how discipline builds the bridge between good intentions and actual results.

This isn’t a lecture—it’s a conversation. And if you’ve ever found yourself saying, “This year will be different,” then friend, this episode is for YOU.

So hit play, lean in, and let’s figure out how to stop lying to ourselves about our goals—and start showing up like the leaders we know we can be.

👉 Let me know your biggest takeaway—I’d love to hear from you.

Hey there, keep the changers! Welcome to the final Keep the Change episode of 2024. Man, can you believe we’re already here? It feels like this year flew by, and now we’re staring straight into 2025.

Before we jump into the new year—I wanted to hit pause with you. You know, this time of year always makes me stop and ask myself some big questions. Not just about goals and plans (yeah, I’ve got those too), but about me—who I am as a leader, a husband, a friend...a human.

Tony Robbins says, “The quality of your life is determined by the quality of your questions.” And I believe that with everything in me. So today, I’m sharing some of the questions I’ve been asking myself lately. They’re simple, but man, they pack a punch if you lean into them.

And yeah, we’ll get real about faith too—because for me, that’s been such a big part of my growth this year. If that’s not your thing, that’s totally okay. But if it is—or if you’re even just a little curious—stick with me.

Here’s the thing: leadership isn’t about being the smartest person in the room. It’s about being real. Being present. Asking good questions and listening—really listening—to the answers.

So grab your coffee, take a breath, and let’s unpack this together. I’m sharing some of the questions that have made the biggest difference for me this year, and I hope they’ll do the same for you.

Oh—and if something I said today hits home, shoot me an email at bartn17@gmail.com. I’d love to hear your thoughts, your reflections, or just how you’re doing as we head into the new year.

Alright, let’s dive in. Here’s to closing out 2024 strong and stepping into 2025 with intention, purpose, and a whole lot of heart.

Alright, keep the changers, let me just say… you’re going to want to buckle up for this one because this episode of Keep the Change is nothing short of legendary. And by “legendary,” I mean you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you might just rethink how you’re showing up in your life and leadership.

This week, I’m sitting down with Bruce Miller—someone who could write the book on perseverance (seriously). If you don’t know Bruce, here’s the quick 411: Bruce isn’t just your average guest. Nope. He’s a leader, a fighter, a human bulldozer of positivity, and someone who’s lived through challenges most of us can’t even imagine. We’re talking overcoming a tough upbringing, crushing it in the car biz, and leading teams with a perfect balance of "drill sergeant meets life coach." Oh, and did I mention? He’s been living with terminal cancer for over a decade and STILL manages to attack life with the energy of a thousand Red Bulls.

And let me tell you, his “all gas, no brakes” mindset is going to leave you inspired, fired up, and maybe questioning if you’ve been hitting snooze on your potential.

Because if there’s one thing Bruce reminds us, it’s this: life’s challenges don’t define us—how we rise above them does.

Let me ask you something. Have you ever felt like there’s a gap between who you want to be as a leader and what you’re actually doing day-to-day? Or maybe you’re just looking for ways to connect more deeply with the people you lead—at work, in life, or anywhere in between?

If that’s you, this episode is exactly what you need.

I sat down with my buddy Joe Trasser, and let me tell you, this guy has a perspective that will challenge and inspire you. Joe runs Arizona BioCleaning, dealing with the kind of work most of us never think about—cleaning up after crime scenes, hoarding situations, and even drug remediation. It’s heavy stuff, but here’s the thing: Joe isn’t just cleaning spaces; he’s helping people rebuild their lives.

In this episode, we didn’t just talk about business; we got real about leadership—what it means to truly show up for your people. Joe shared stories that had me nodding along like, "Yep, I’ve been there," and insights that’ll make you rethink how you lead, whether you’re running a business, a team, or even your own household.

Here’s why you’ll love this one:

• Joe breaks down how authenticity is the secret sauce for building trust and connection. (Seriously, this is a game-changer.)
• We talk about the power of knowing your team’s strengths—and their struggles. Because leadership isn’t just about getting results; it’s about helping people thrive.
• And if you’ve ever wondered how the lessons from recovery translate to leadership, this episode will blow your mind.

This isn’t just a “business talk”—it’s a conversation about being human. And I think that’s why it hit me so hard. It’s raw, it’s relatable, and it’ll leave you with the kind of takeaways you can actually use, starting today.

So, here’s the deal: if you care about making a real difference in the lives of the people you lead—and yeah, in your own life too—then do yourself a favor and listen to this one. I promise, you’ll walk away feeling inspired, equipped, and ready to lead with more heart.

First off, can I just say THANK YOU for hanging in there with me? This one’s dropping a little late (life threw a curveball at my family), but guess what? We’re back, we’re blessed, and we’re rolling forward.

Now, this episode? it’s a special one. I’m diving into a topic that I KNOW will change the game for your dealership: developing your people. Let’s be real—managing tasks is easy, but creating future leaders? THAT’S where the magic happens. And I’m here to tell you, it’s the secret sauce to building a team that sticks, thrives, and crushes the competition.

I’ll break down John Maxwell’s Five Levels of Leadership—yep, we’re revisiting the classics, but with some fresh, real-world dealership wisdom you can use TODAY.

And guess what? It’s not rocket science. I’ll show you how ONE simple habit—yep, just one—can take your leadership and your dealership to the next level. Plus, I’ve got some fun stories, practical tips, and my favorite strategies to help YOU make this shift without losing your mind (or your weekends).

Oh, and because I love my podcast family, I’m offering a 15-minute complimentary coaching session to the first 15 listeners who reach out. Seriously, no catch—just me, you, and a Zoom link talking about how to make your leadership unstoppable.

So, grab your coffee and let’s jump in. This one’s all about creating the kind of culture where your team wants to stay, grow, and WIN.

What if the greatest tests of your life were the very thing preparing you for an extraordinary purpose?

In this episode of Keep the Change, I sit down with someone whose story embodies resilience, faith, and the transformative power of leadership. Pastor Mulenga Chella has walked a journey that most of us can’t even begin to imagine—wrongfully imprisoned in a foreign country, enduring unthinkable conditions, and yet choosing forgiveness over bitterness.

Here’s what struck me: Pastor Chella didn’t just survive. He thrived. He turned his darkest moments into a calling to serve others, from rescuing orphans to feeding hundreds of children daily. This isn’t just a story about faith—it’s a masterclass in leadership, grace, and finding significance beyond success.

We dig into:

• How forgiveness unlocked the door to his freedom—literally.
• Why true leadership is about lifting others, even in the toughest circumstances.
• The Bible verse that kept him grounded when the world felt like it was falling apart.
• How he went from prison to building a ministry that transforms lives daily.

And here’s the part that floored me: Pastor Chella took the very person responsible for his imprisonment—the man who betrayed him—and nursed him back to health. That choice of love over anger didn’t just change one life—it changed many.

This isn’t just a conversation; it’s an experience. If you’ve ever wondered how to find purpose in pain or how to lead with integrity when everything seems stacked against you, this episode is for you.

To my long-time Keep the Change family—this one will stay with you long after the final words. Let it challenge you. Let it inspire you. And most of all, let it remind you of what’s possible when we lean into faith and lead with love.
