| The 4 Leadership Laws That Will Make or Break Your Dealership | 02 Aug 2025 | 00:30:36 | |
In this solo episode of Keep The Change, I’m diving into something I didn’t plan... but was prompted by that good ol’ still small voice. You know the one. The voice that whispers, “Do this,” and you want to say, “Darn it,” because you know it’s going to stretch you. That voice led me back to one of the most powerful resources in my leadership journey: John Maxwell’s 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. But we’re not covering all 21—just four that could quietly be shaping (or stalling) your team’s performance right now. We unpack what your leadership lid actually is, how it affects your store’s results, and why some dealerships with the same inventory and location are selling 3x more than others. Spoiler: it’s not the salespeople. We also get into:
I’m sharing real stories from dealerships I’ve worked with, the hard lessons I learned in my early leadership days, and the one uncomfortable question every leader should be asking themselves this week. If you’ve ever looked at two stores with the same inventory and wondered why one’s selling 300 cars while the other is stuck at 100… this is the conversation you need to hear. Let’s dig into that. This episode might just be the mirror we all need. Oh—and if you want to go deeper, join me Wednesday, August 6th at 9PM Eastern for the first session of the 3-week Leadership Workshop. We’re not just learning—we’re transforming. Enjoying the show? Subscribe and leave a review on your favorite podcast players!

In this episode of Keep the Change, I get the absolute honor of sitting down with one of the most impactful mentors of my life—Paul Martinelli. Now, when I say Paul has built empires... I mean it.

But this isn’t just a rags-to-riches story. This is about how changing your thinking changes your life. We talk about:
You’ll hear wild stories about million-dollar failures, investing in yourself when no one else will, and how Paul is now helping others build financial freedom through his Empowered Living platform. But more than that—this is a deep, raw look into the mindset behind massive transformation. If you’ve ever felt stuck, limited, or like your dreams are just out of reach... this episode is your invitation to think again. Enjoying the show?

| Brent Hatchett: God’s People Are a Waiting People | 27 Apr 2023 | 00:43:45 | |
Brent Hatchett is a 20 30 s pastor in Cornerstone Church Chandler Az . In this episode, Brent shares his journey of discovering his true calling in life. After studying broadcast journalism, he landed his first job as a sophomore in college and had three years of professional experience before he even graduated. However, his friend Jamar's question, "Do you want to be Kobe Bryant or Jerry Buss?" made him rethink his career goals. He went into media sales after graduation because every exec he talked to told him that he needed to understand the sales background to own a TV station. However, after nine months, he discovered that he hated media sales. So he decided to learn about how money works by getting a job at a bank. He stayed in finance for the next seven years but never loved it. He was just doing it. But Brent is a living testimony of how God can give you things you don't even deserve. He failed every math class but passed the Series 7 exam, which allowed him to sell securities. So, even though he didn't love his job, God gave him grace and enabled him to excel in his work. Despite still not having a clear vision for his future, Brent had a praying grandmother who took him to church as a child. He got saved at 16 years old, but it wasn't until much later that he felt a calling to plant a church. Brent explained that he grew up in a context where the majority of black churches were led by pastors who were more traditional and not always open to change. He knew he wanted to do something different, but he didn't know what that would look like. It wasn't until Brent's wife challenged him to think about what he wanted his legacy to be that he began to consider planting a church. He knew he wanted to make an impact on his community and provide a safe space for people to come together and worship. He also wanted to break down the traditional barriers that often exist in churches and create a place where people from all walks of life could come together. Brent discusses how to overcome challenges and find peace with God. They discuss how surrendering to Jesus, surrounding oneself with encouraging and accountable people, and learning lessons from past experiences are crucial in getting out of a pit and finding freedom. They also emphasize the importance of asking God what he wants from us each day, rather than focusing on what we can get from him. The guest shares how he reframed his personal questions from self-centered to God-centered, and how this helped him find greater clarity in his spiritual walk. Brent's story is a reminder that finding one's true calling takes time and effort. Sometimes, it involves trying out different things and discovering what you don't like. But it's also a reminder that God can use our experiences and gifts to lead us to our calling, even if we don't know what it is yet. Enjoying the show?

Coming from a humble background, Chris attributes his strong work ethic to his father, who worked as a welder for General Motors for 30 years, never complaining about his job. His mother, also instilled in him the importance of having a positive attitude and finding ways to achieve goals, no matter the obstacles. Chris Robinson is the founder of R3 Coaching, a company dedicated to helping individuals and businesses achieve their personal and business growth goals. His group training and one-on-one coaching has helped many businesses. Chris is a highly respected leader, coach, and mentor who has made a significant impact on many lives. He is also the Executive Vice President of Maxwell Entrepreneurial Solutions. Growing up, Chris was surrounded by blue-collar workers, but an impactful moment occurred when he saw a friend's father come home from work wearing a shirt and tie. This image stuck with him, and he knew he wanted to pursue a career that involved using his mind rather than his hands. Chris emphasized the power of glimpses – mental images of where one wants to go in life – and how they can shape one's future if one holds onto them and takes the necessary steps to achieve them. Growing up in an automotive family, Chris understood the value of hard work and discipline. These early experiences laid the groundwork for his future in leadership and personal development. With a strong imagination and the ability to envision his dreams, Chris set out on his journey to success. Chris's journey towards success was not easy, but his ability to imagine a better future and consistently work towards it led him to where he is today. As the Vice President of Maxwell Leadership, Chris attributes his achievements to the power of visualization and staying true to his glimpses. He believes that it's essential to be disciplined and consistent in working towards one's goals, even if it seems impossible at first. Chris Robinson's story teaches us the importance of having a vision for our lives and being consistent in our efforts to achieve it. The power of glimpses and visualization can help us overcome obstacles and move towards the life we desire. By surrounding ourselves with people who inspire us and asking questions that challenge our beliefs, we can achieve more than we ever thought possible. Enjoying the show?

| Jeremy Hart: From Desperation to Redemption | 16 Mar 2023 | 00:41:32 | |
Life is full of twists and turns. It can be hard to imagine that we can come back from the darkest places, but it's possible. This is the story of a man who hit rock bottom and found his way back through faith and rebuilding, Jeremy Hart. Jeremy Hart reflects on how he came to know Jesus through a series of unexpected people and events. From his father-in-law to a stranger on a plane and two minor league baseball players, the people who brought him to Jesus were not what he would have expected. But as he says, "when the student is ready, the teacher will appear." Despite coming to know Jesus, he struggled to internalize that relationship. Instead, he viewed it as head knowledge and didn't let it penetrate his heart. He ended up becoming successful in the financial world but without the emotional or spiritual compass he needed to navigate the highs and lows. He ended up leaving his mentor and starting his own program, which ultimately led to disastrous consequences. He became obsessed with success and keeping up appearances, to the point where he took huge risks and made illegal decisions to maintain the facade. He was so desperate to be valued by those around him that he lost sight of what was truly important. It was only when he hit rock bottom, attempting to take his own life, that he realized that he needed to change his ways. He found redemption through faith and rebuilding his life. It wasn't an easy road, but he learned that it's never too late to turn things around. Through his journey, he learned the importance of humility and taking responsibility for his actions. He also learned to lean on his faith and trust in God, even in the darkest of times. Life is full of twists and turns, but it's how we respond to those challenges that defines us. Jeremy's story is a reminder that no matter how far we fall, we can always pick ourselves back up and find a way forward. Through faith and a willingness to change, we can find redemption and rebuild our lives. Enjoying the show? Subscribe and leave a review on your favorite podcast players!

| Hannah Kirkpatrick: Embracing the Journey - A Story of Pain and Progress with Mrs. American 2021 | 02 Feb 2023 | 01:07:08 | |
On this week's episode of Keep the Change, Bart joins Hannah Kirkpatrick. Hannah Kirkpatrick, who is the wife of Chris Kirkpatrick and was Mrs. American 2021 has a powerful story to share with us, one of pit pain and progress. She has walked a journey that we believe needs to be shared in order to help others. As a mother of three and a wife, Hannah has experienced her fair share of difficulties. Despite being nervous about sharing her story, she understands the importance of being transparent and using her pain as a catalyst to help others. Her core calling in life is to be a conduit for the divine and to serve others, rather than putting herself on a pedestal. The search for perfection is a topic that many of us can relate to. It is the drive to be the best we can be, to achieve the highest levels of success, and to be recognized for our efforts. However, what happens when this pursuit of perfection becomes all-consuming? When it starts to erode our authenticity and leave us feeling like we're living a lie? Hannah shares her story of shifting from a place of perceived perfection to one of self-discovery and authenticity. We discuss how the quest for perfection can erode our true selves and how Hannah nearly lost herself in the process. Through this conversation, we explore the themes of self-discovery, vulnerability, and the power of embracing our imperfections. In her journey towards self-discovery, Hannah discovered the power of authenticity. By embracing who she truly was, she was able to break free from the cycle of perfection and start living a more fulfilling life. She learned that the quest for perfection was, in fact, the greatest flaw in the world, and that the real shine comes from embracing our authentic selves. Hannah's story is a powerful reminder that the pursuit of perfection can be harmful, and that the path to happiness and fulfillment lies in embracing our authenticity. By being true to ourselves, we can break free from the expectations of others and start living a life that is truly our own. In this episode, Hannah takes us back to the beginning of her journey and shares what led her to a place of pain. She also talks about her experiences as Mrs. American and how it has changed her life. Hannah is a woman of change, a platform for change, and we believe that her story will be an inspiration to those who listen to it.

| Dr. Anne Katona Linn: Breaking the Silence - Navigating the Journey of Recovery and Resilience | 19 Jan 2023 | 00:57:28 | |
Dr. Anne Katona Linn is an educational and behavioral consultant who specializes in creating positive school climates for students and adults. She uses a coaching model and works with communities to achieve this goal. She has experience in supporting and teaching educators, administrators, and children, and specializes in mental health, substance use, special needs, bullying, and trauma prevention and intervention. She is a certified coach in the Competent Learner Model and Board Certified Behavior Analyst with a focus on Autism Spectrum Disorders and Behavior Disorders. She is someone who has personally experienced the power of forgiveness and recovery in their own life. She shares her own personal journey, reflecting on her upbringing in Pennsylvania, and the car accident she experienced at the age of four that left her with PTSD and negative memories of her time in the hospital. She explains how she spent much of her life feeling like something was wrong with her and coping with triggers and panic attacks. Dr. Anne's story is a powerful reminder of the importance of addressing trauma and mental health, and the need for more open and supportive conversations surrounding these topics. She also stresses the importance of understanding the impact of traumatic experiences on children, and the role schools and communities can play in creating a safe and positive environment for them. She shares how she initially resisted the idea of recovery and wanted to achieve great accomplishments instead. But through a series of events and a choice retreat, she had a breakthrough moment where she cried and felt like a different person, and realized that God was using her broken pieces to help her become better and walk the path He had for her. In today's society, the topic of trauma and its aftermath is still met with a lot of shame and stigma. It's important to remember that just because someone may not have reacted in the way we expect them to in a traumatic situation, it doesn't mean they are weak or at fault. In fact, the fight, flight, or freeze response is a natural reaction to traumatic events and it's something that none of us can truly predict. Her journey is a powerful reminder that we can all overcome trauma and that with the right support and tools, we can live a life of significance and purpose. It's also important to remember that healing is a journey and it's not always a straight path. But with the right mindset, anything is possible. Thank you for listening to Keep the Change, and we hope Dr. Anne's story will inspire others to seek help and support in addressing their own experiences with trauma and mental health.

But as I chatted with my passenger, I couldn't help but feel like things were about to take a turn for the better. My passenger, a successful businessman, was clearly impressed by my marketing skills and asked me more about my work. Despite my current circumstances, I felt a sense of pride in my profession and decided to be honest with him about my current situation. It was a risky move, but I felt a strong desire to be authentic and genuine in our conversation. To my surprise, my honesty paid off. My passenger was interested in learning more about the Dream 100 concept and asked for my help in implementing it in his business. Before I knew it, he had given me his business card and asked me to come into his office for a meeting. Within just 48 hours, my life had completely changed.

He shares how he struggled with a covert resentment towards God, medicating his feelings with addiction instead of dealing with them head on. But through the support of treatment and his community, he was able to overcome his addiction and rebuild his life. He learned to trust in God's plan for him and discovered a deeper sense of purpose and meaning. Now, he is sober and committed to helping others who are struggling with addiction. We chatted with Jeff about his journey, his work as a coach, and his passion for storytelling.

We believe that by listening authentically and organically, we can truly understand the heart and soul of the person on the other side.

Jeff shares his own personal journey of struggling with mental health, feeling outside of acceptance and experiencing the consequences of their choices. He eventually found himself working as a handyman and feeling a deep ache for something more, but also carrying a backpack full of shame. He was eventually invited to a retreat with a Christian entrepreneur, where he had a life-changing experience and realized that his purpose was to help other men navigate their own experiences of brokenness and find the good within it, reframing it as a new assignment and alignment to a greater purpose. We hope you enjoy this conversation with Jeff and take away valuable insights and inspiration. Remember, you have the power within you to turn your suffering into a superpower.

Pat Williams is a basketball Hall-of-Famer, co-founder of the NBA’s Orlando Magic, and former general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers. Also one of America’s top motivational and inspirational corporate speakers, Pat has addressed employees from many Fortune 500 companies. Pat is also the author of over 100 books, his most recent title is REVOLUTIONARY LEADERSHIP. What we discuss in this episode:
"But I had a better future in the front office than I did on the field in the Phillies, and they noticed that. They gave me an opportunity to learn the ropes as a minor league operator for different teams in their farm system. That paved the way to my switch to the NBA in 1968 where I enjoyed a 51 year run."
"I encourage young people where they are in their careers to find mentors, find life coaches, find sages, that you can pick their brains and you can learn from them and you can stay in touch with them. When you have questions that seem to be perplexing you, go to those people and learn and pull from them. In my profession, whenever I found someone that I could learn from or benefit from, I would pepper them with questions, and seek them out, and try to spend as much time with them as possible."

| Is It Faith or Religion? W/ John Clements | 08 Dec 2022 | 00:43:20 | |
John Clements is a medical practitioner whose career has spanned over 50 years. He has a heart for children in developing countries. His early career included a year running a Christian mission hospital in the Peruvian Amazon, followed by postings as Chief Medical Officer in Bangladesh and Afghanistan with Save the Children Fund. He joined the global leadership team for infant and childhood immunization at the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva. Over his 17 years with the UN, he worked in around 100 countries, mostly in the developing world. He has taught public health at the postgraduate level at a number of universities. He writes extensively and has published many books, book chapters, and articles in the medical literature on public health issues. In 2003, he moved to Australia, where he worked as a consultant with several UN agencies and Australia-based international health agencies. He is an associate professor at the University of Melbourne. In 2020, he was awarded membership in the Order of Australia for his work in international health. He has two adult sons, both of whom work in the international aid sector. He was an elder in an evangelical church for a number of years before moving to house churches. His story really kicks off when he was in primary school, age 10. With a very strict school mistress who insisted they take a book out of the library every Friday and bring it back the next Friday, and by chance - by God, John took a specific book out which made him curious. It was the life story of Albert Schweitzer. He was born in 1870 in Germany, and he became a world-renowned organist. He played bars and things like that. He had a lot of success with his recordings Organist toured Europe, becoming the darling of Europe at the age of 30.He felt the call of God on his life. He went to medical school, got qualified, and spent most of the rest of his life in Gabon, Africa, the darkest continent in the world. It was a very primitive situation. He got involved, built a hospital, provided services where none were available, ran a hospital, operated it, and did incredible work.He became internationally recognized for his writings, and in 1956 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. So here was a man of great stature and moral courage who had just spoken to the deepest part of John's heart. And he was certain that he wanted to do what Albert Schweitzer did right away.John studied the right subjects at school. He went through medical school, was trained in pediatrics and obstetrics in public health and tropical medicine, and then, to his amazement, he went to dark Peru and was offered the chance of running a hospital in the Amazon by a Catholic mission organization called Jas International, operating out of Liverpool. Talking about his experience and how people from there didn't trust West Medicine and the white nurses and doctors that were running it. They regarded someone with pale skin and brown eyes as a gringo. From being referred to as a "gringo," which was an obstacle to overcome, and the fact that they were very reluctant to come to the hospital at first to then calling him El Doctoral, which was good. Fast forward to when he came back from Peru and met his wife. And just like everyone else, his faith had quite a few dips. John encourages young people who are struggling with their faith that hey need to know that it's quite normal to have a dip in their faith. John found another passion to become a chaplain and do the work of Christ, for which he eventually became an elder in a church. He also has written a book called "The Gospel Unadorn." Targeting the mature Christian in easy-to-understand language, the book explores the difference between faith alone in Christ alone and those elements of church religion that have been hoisted onto the backs of believers.

| Serving Through Suffering for God’s Glory W/ Pastor Malinga | 01 Dec 2022 | 00:44:10 | |
Have you ever walked through a situation in life that left you wondering why God would allow you to experience the hurt, pain, or even discouragement that resulted? There is no doubt that some challenges in life are the result of poor choices, but for every believer, the reality is that we will walk through hardship and experience pain. One of the most beautiful aspects of Christianity for our persecuted brothers and sisters around the world are the stories from the Bible of those who came before who were persecuted. The Bible is rich with accounts of people who suffered for their faith in different ways. Now, this is one incredible life story that you must listen to too. Malinga is the pastor of Christ Life Church in Zambia. Pastor Malinga went from serving in ministry to being in prison for two years and three months for a mistake he did not commit. He was a "normal" everyday kid growing up in Zambia. After high school, he became actively involved in the local church, doing youth ministry, cleaning the church, going to the streets, feeding kids on the streets, and doing hospital visitation. The leaders in the church then saw the call of God in his life, and they decided to give him the First Church to lead at the age of 20. But things don't always go as we want. It is a guarantee that we will have trouble in this world, as Jesus himself did. But, with his power and presence in our lives, we are called to endure and thus shine the light of Christ in a dark world. In this episode, Pastor Malinga talks about his entire journey and what ultimately led him to accept God’s will while being a "prisoner" and become a full-time pastor and preacher, massively impacting many people in prison. "What is it?" I began to wonder.What's the meaning of life when you've been wrongfully imprisoned, when you're eating bad food, and when you're sleeping in a crowded place full of bed bugs? "What is life? And it was in those moments that the Lord started teaching me that life is an opportunity that God gives to us. Life is an opportunity to love, to serve, and to honor God and mankind. that even though I was wrongfully imprisoned, the law had given me a great opportunity in prison to love my enemy, to save my enemy, and to honor God by doing that." After two and a half years, finally, the day of defense and judgment came. On that day, the same man that I'd helped, who had now recovered, stood up in the courts of law before the judges and the police officers. And he pointed at me and said, "This man, he's an innocent man." He doesn't know anything about all my criminal activities. I simply carried him in the vehicle like an ordinary passenger. And those words, which he spoke, opened the doors for me to be released from prison. Enjoying the show? Subscribe and leave a review on your favorite podcast players!

| Following Your Passion w/ Nick Nollenberger | 24 Nov 2022 | 00:42:33 | |
Years ago, when I was a kid, I used to go to my grandmother's house probably every other weekend. And we would listen to a Play-By-play guide named Ernie Harwell, the voice of the Detroit Tigers. Now, Fast forward to 2022 today. Every night during the hockey season, me and my beautiful wife Mary, get to sit on the couch and listen to my favorite broadcaster. And that is Nick Nollerberger. Nick is the Voice of The Barracuda, the play-by-play guide for the San Jose Sharks Top Farm team, and also my son. In this episode of Keep The Change, Nick Nollenberger tells his life story, his journey, and how he's been chasing his passion since he was a kid. Nick tells the story of how his brother wouldn't allow him to play in hockey games unless he was in charge of refereeing. This goes back to when Nick was a kid, and the two of them played on the floor with sticks in the living room. That's how long ago he realized he liked broadcasting and that he could pursue that as a career if he wasn't an athlete. Early in his career, he worked as the second announcer and public relations assistant for the Kannapolis Intimidators, the single-A club of the Chicago White Sox. After playing for a single year at the minor league baseball level, Nollenberger moved on to the NAHL's Odessa Jackalopes for a year before joining the Barracuda for the 2016–17 season. Nick says, "If you're able to treat people, respect, be a team player, be hardworking, be passionate, and be kind of a carrier of the torture of the organization in a positive light, then you add value to yourself, and you have an opportunity to build relationships and those relationships, whether. You're looking for something in return or not; hopefully, they'll propel you into something beyond where you're at because it is relationships that will probably get you the next opportunity and, uh, reputation. So it's little things that go a long, long way." Enjoying the show? Subscribe and leave a review on your favorite podcast players!

| Stuck To The Faith W/ Bruce Miller | 17 Nov 2022 | 00:40:30 | |
Despite our emotional response to motivational tales, most of us don't adjust our behavior until we face a similar challenge in real life. Bruce Miller is the guest on this week's program. Miller Motors' current owner is a cancer survivor who has learned to find the good in even the worst of situations. In other words, Bruce beat cancer. He is devoted to Christ, successful in business, and an outstanding leader.In this episode of Keep The Change,Bruce opens up about his difficult upbringing as an only kid to two alcoholic parents. His insights on loss, stress, service, wellness, and appreciation will motivate us to pursue inner and outer radiance and help us become our best selves. From dropping out of high school to managing the largest Chevrolet dealership in New Orleans to being laid off while battling cancer and still maintaining his faith in God. Bruce started to discover new ways to enjoy life. Through family, community, friendship, and duties, he found the unexpected places where happiness may be found. In addition, he discovered it by reconnecting with God, who alone can satisfy our most fundamental wants. This episode got to me emotionally, and it might get to you, too. I admire Bruce’s courage and strength for himself. The changes he made appear to be doable for anyone facing similar challenges. The practice of learning to surrender one's burdens to Jesus (at the cross) and then letting them go without returning to "chew on them."Learning to trust God is an integral part of releasing our burdens to Him, and this is something we must cultivate through time with God's assistance.Sometimes the miracles we pray for don't happen, but we still need to keep our eyes peeled for the miracles God brings.We hope this story inspires you to make those changes you have been considering.

Mary Nollenberger is an award-winning business person of the year and has been named one of the most influential leaders in the real estate industry. She is also a counselor for her church, a wife, mother, and grandmother — and whether it's in business or life, Mary demonstrates what it means to lead with service and how to overcome life's obstacles by realizing that in God's eyes, we are enough. What we discuss in this episode: As a highly-competitive individual, Mary shares that her past has helped her realize the importance of celebrating victories and slowing the pace from time to time. Of course that's a realization that is often only made after seeking the next mountain to climb, or the next project to embark on. The hindsight is 20/20, and Mary offers her wisdom that in order to effectively serve others, it often requires us to slow down and focus our strength and energy into where it will have a lasting impact. Mary shares about times when she lacked confidence in herself — something that so many can relate to. Whether it's from insecurity or comparing ourselves to our peers, insecurity is common. As Mary explains, insecurity is also something we can overcome. "I don't have a history with addiction, or things that people would associate with celebrate recovery. I am a grateful believer in Jesus. He is helping me to overcome the comparisons that fuel my insecurity by giving my heart the promise that to him, I am enough." Enjoying the show?
