Rank #1: F**k the Money Guys, They Have No Soul - feat. Damon Dash.
How do you make money without selling out? That’s what Damon Dash — music producer, entrepreneur, co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records, and contributor to memoir Culture Vultures — came to the studio to discuss with BigMike, Chris “Bulldog” Collins and host Jayme Foxx on this episode of Business Outlaws.  “I gave the culture a voice, I still fight for it, and I made ’em rich!” Dash says as he vents his frustrations with the music industry, millennial mindsets, what people imagine goes into building a successful business versus what really goes into it, and the “money guys” who prey on artists to profit off their talent. “A money guy buys shit,” he continues, “a good, cool motherfucker builds it.”The conversation becomes heated when Damon accuses BigMike of working with the money guys and being a traitor to his industry. “It’s about me. I personally want to see how far I can climb that fucking ladder,” BigMike shoots back. When Damon asks BigMike to explain how he gauges his success, the conversation turns to figuring out what really matters, your role in relation to what you create, and ultimately, why you chose the path you’re on. After you’ve finished listening, head on over to BusinessOutlaws.com for exclusive content and behind-the-scenes footage of BigMike, Chris, Jayme and Damon.

PaschOn PodCast with Brian Pasch

Brian Pasch covers online marketing topics that can help automotive dealership managers and owners maximize their sales and marketing investments.

Rank #1: Stop Guessing and Don't Trust Your CRM.
In this podcast, I will be discussing the pitfalls of using last-click attribution lead reports from CRM platforms as a way to validate/cancel the services of a marketing vendor. It is very common for General Managers to view monthly lead performance reports and make marketing decisions based on these reports. These reports are not accurate nor do they reflect how consumers shop. I'll introduce multi-channel funnels and the steps that dealers can take to clean up their Google Analytics accounts so that they can produce their own multi-channel reports to inspect how their marketing investments are generating website traffic, engagement, and conversions. This podcast references this article on LinkedIn, and you can read the post on this link: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/stop-guessing-dont-trust-your-crm-brian-pasch If you would like information about the 2017 Automotive Analytics & Attribution Summit (AAAS) please visit: http://automotiveattributionsummit.com/
