How Selling Cars Taught Me to Serve a Nation with Senator Bernie Moreno
In this episode, my guest is Senator Bernie Moreno from the great state of Ohio—a fellow car guy whose journey from the showroom floor to the U.S. Senate is nothing short of remarkable.
We dig into what he learned from years in the retail automotive business, and how those lessons are helping him shape national policy. You’ll hear stories about his time working with Herb Chambers, building one of the top-performing Mercedes-Benz stores in the country, and how that background is now fueling his work in the Senate.
We talk about the resilience of the car business, what most people get wrong about tariffs, and why now might be one of the best times in decades to be in automotive retail. Bernie also shares what inspired him to launch the Center for Sales Excellence at Cleveland State—and why sales, when taught right, can change lives.
You’ll walk away with real takeaways about leadership, building a winning culture, navigating adversity, and how skills developed in business can create impact far beyond it.
If you're in the car business—or any business—and you've ever thought about how your day-to-day could translate into something bigger, this episode is going to light a fire in you.
