The Boys are sounding the alarm. Margins are getting squeezed, the BHPH model isn’t hitting like it used to, and independent dealers are being forced to adapt—or get left behind.
In this episode, Jeff W. and Jeff M. dive into:
✅ Why collections are steady (but profits aren’t)
✅ How hybrid retail models are becoming the new normal
✅ Real about the convention floor

Whether you’re holding the line or reinventing your lot, this episode is packed with the kind of street-smart advice you don’t hear on stage.

💬 Drop your thoughts in the comments — Are you adapting your model or riding it out?

Thank you for listening. We hope you learned something new.
