Hello and welcome to the Car Guy Coffee Podcast. This inter brew at Drive
Centrics DC twenty has been brought to you by our friends and partners at m Excess Solutions, Fixed Ops, Digital and one Data and Analytics, three, two to one Ignitions, Shop Smart Autos and Big Cube. If you want
more bruised or you want to find out how to partner with the Cargang Coffee Podcast, go to carguy Cooffee dot com. Let's brew question number two.
You are an incredible car guy. You are an incredible car guess right,
and served this industry greatly as a general manager. Is an independent dealer from
all different angles. You know this game. So, brother, we want
to know what was it that brought you initially to automotive. Oh boy,
oh boy, you're gonna push you in and ask that question. So,
my dad died when I was twenty two. It was a drunk and one
night he uh actually had Monday morning, he'd had three strokes up to that point, and he walked out on a Monday morning at his dealership. And
since nobody knows him, I won't be embarrassing him. I love my dad,
but he wasn't a very attentive dad. And what I learned about that
as a car dealer, he was busy blah blah blah. But when I
learned when I was a father is to be the exact opposite of my dad, exact opposite. I want to every one of my kids came. I
did all that. But back to the question. So at twenty two,
he had I was twenty two. He was a truck dealer, International Harvester
truck dealer, went into work, found out he was forty grand upside down his checking account, he had parts going out the back, he had a bookkeeper that was stealing, and it all hit that morning, forty grand upside down with nothing he could do about it. It might even been more,
but at that time he had another stroke. So I went and visited him
in a house, and we had been a lot closer as adults, and I stayed with him four days until I passed. He did not leave my
mom any money. In fact, he had canceled her insurance. So my
mom, who was fifty nine, a model real estate agent socially, all of a sudden, I had to go to work if she was going to supplement her income. Long story shorts. She went to business school at night,
ran the business during the day, got a partner. Within ten years,
and at ninety she sold three rooftops. My mom, she was good
and she died at ninety seven. And by the way, a week before
she died, I brought her to christ So that's another sort man and men.
Amen. So my dad had never said, but I'm proud of you.
So all my life I wanted to make my dad proud. So I
was. All his buddies would say, You're going to be great in the
business. I had that talking, charismatic personality, and I was. But
I stayed in the business even though I had other dreams because of the fact that I wanted to please my dad even though and this is going to be bad pr so I don't misunderstand it. Probably not the greatest thing to say,
but it's true. Even though I didn't I love the business at times.
But I didn't like the business, the tactics, but I loved I loved the people, loved my All my friends are in this industry. Let
not that be not sad. I love them and that's what I do now.
I care for the people that and that's what I love about this industry.
So the reason I got in it was because I wanted to make my dad proud, even though he'd been dead all those years. And when I
really got to the point where I'm go into retail now and I love talking to customers. I love clothes and deals. And yet my biggest mission on
this planet right now again is to help the people from getting from the pit to peace and live a life, get to go to their kids hockey games where they're wife and them get along. They don't have to go through three
divorces where they've just got this incredible family unit. Whether they hopefully they find
Christ, but even if they do, they somehow find peace. Even if
they do not, somehow they find peace. So we know in this room
that Christ saved our life and gives us eternal life. We get that.
But I'm not sitting in here because I want to preach the gospel, although I will all day long. I'm sitting here because even if somebody doesn't believe,
I want to help them have a better quality of life than where they are now. So how I got into it was one thing. Why I'm
into it now is completely different. But you know what, John Maxwell,
why you talk about being here it's not about goals. It's growth all my
goal or growth goals? How can I get better? Three questions I ask
myself every night on the way home. What I do right today? What
did I learn today? And what must I change? Because fellows, you're
young, say that I'm not old. I'm older, but I'm not old.
Friend, I got a lot of time to do. I've got a
mission to get a lot done between now and that. My mission is here
to change lives, it really is. So that's why I want to grow,
because the more I grow, the more people I can touch and influence and help them get from there to here. That's why what no doubt about
it. And what I can tell you is that what you're saying is right
on the freaking money. And I hear you and my heart is filled up
with joy. That's exactly man, having that purpose. I understand that.
Dude, listen, I get that with your pops more than you know.
My story. My father is not exactly the same, but it's I still
try to make him proud every day. My father's still alive. I haven't
seen him, it doesn't matter, but the point is that it's just I know that feeling in your heart. But at the end of the day,
what has brought so much, Just know that God knows purpose for everything and the reasons and all the whys and everything that's coming up to the culmination of where you're at now wanting to pour into others so badly because that's where your heart is. That's what God is pulling you towards. And you know what,
You're right and that's amazing that you've found that and that you feel that.
And you know what else, Man, your father is proud of you.
He is so proud of you right now. And the point is,
and I want you to know that, and I know you know that, and I think everybody knows that who's listening right now. We are all proud
of you. We're astounded by you. We think you're amazing as a friend.
You're phenomenal as an energy on this planet, one of the best I've ever met. So I'm excited, and I know your father's thinking the same
thing, man, And thank you for pouring that out to us like that.
Man, Hey Dealers, Car Guy, Coffee podcast and Certified Solutionaries are honored to be part of team. Thank you. The solutions They've been ruined
for you to acquire more vehicles, advertise merchandise, and manage those vehicles has made them one of the most sought after dealing partners in the marketing. They
are one hundred percent CEG see it proved And when you visit them at Benji dot com, you'll see a whole hill of beans worth of reasons. Why
t thank you. Let's brew and your mama ninety seven years old. Come
on now, baby, that's what I'm talking about. She's gone to heaven.
But you know what, she was a rock up, Joe Braalter.
I just want to say something that about and I'll tell you if we get to that question. But I did something that changed everything that as soon as
I did it, business doubled in two days. I'll tell you if we
get And also what happened two weeks later is my I have four kids by birth. I have ten kids by blended marriage, but my four kids by
birth. One of them's thirty seventy, owns two restaurants, his wife has
two companies, may have two babies under three. They're hustlers. Baby.
But he said to me the other day, Dad, and this has never happened. I mean, we have a great relationship. But this doesn't happen.
This is God, this is you do you just follow my path.
You're obedient to me, and victories will happen. Incredible things will happen that
you and I can't even put on paper. And he said to me,
Dad, I'm really proud of you, Boom and you know what. I
love you, I love your pops. But I ain't doing this for you
anymore. Oh, you know's gonna look at me and say, that's my
dad, that's my grandkids. We love part. That's why another wi Wise,
Yeah you do. I'm saying, that's why. There's always plenty of
time to talk about Wise's never Oh I took too much time. No,
you can talk about the whole show, because I agree. There's so many
whys in all of us. So every time you run out of one,
there's another one there. Just look at that and reach out. It's not
powerful enough. There's another one. That is. What I could tell you
is this is Tony Lucas And he's saying, Amen, everywhere is a good place, and all the and all the time is a great time to serve the Lord. The car business is a great pulpit. Love what you are
doing here, and I agree, man, I appreciate you, Thank you Tony for being here and sharing that and feeling that, because that's what this is, man, It's an opportunity. We were told for so long not
to talk about this kind of stuff. That's just not what we do.
This doesn't belong at the dealership. Yeah it does, man, It's always
belong. It's supposed to be there the moment that we open our hearts and
I am feeling there's something to do with that is while you double with your prophets, I'm just saying, like my heart's feeling that. But at the
end of the day, that's what it is. Man. You guys want
to have more profit in life. Listen, That's what I'm telling you.
Listen, truly listen, and you'll find a way to make that profit.
There's so much inside of there, and we want to get to this third piece, but we don't want to get to the third line without making sure that we do plug in here. That this is an individual that has been
changed and is coaching and mentoring people to make sure that they cash out of the game that they're playing and they keep the change inside of their own life.
And this is the author of that book right here, okay, and we want to make sure that you all do have the opportunity to get yourself a copy of Keep the Change. Let's go ahead and get that up here
on the screen for y'all so you can scan that code. Make sure that
you go ahead and get yourself a copy of that. Going to leave that
up for a moment, but Keep the Change. There's a lot that's brewing
inside of that. And many people find mentorship in different ways. Many people
find different coaching. Sometimes you're never going to meet the person that leads you
the way the best that you would get out of maybe even a book.
But this incredible solutionary is an author, and we are honored to be able to have you on the show and talk about that a little bit as we get ready to plug in the third question on this five liner? Where is
that? Okay, you see that, We'll go ahead and pull that up,
go ahead and scan that, but Fred can bring him that third listen.
I'm having a lot of fun asking you these questions and really learning more about you, Bart, and the more I learn about you, the more that I love you. Appross third question, I had a feeling I'm in
love too. I want longer than three seconds, man, I want to
have good nine. But that's right, that's right, dude. It's gonna
be a long one. Man. We're gonna We're gonna have a long manly
embrace. Okay, listen, I am. I'm excited. The third question
is important because I think a lot of people along the way. We've heard
a lot of great stories so far about your journey, about your what drives you, who's motivated you, people that inspired you. Well, you're at
John Maxwell's freaking leadership camp right now, So what inside you? Who in
your life has been some great mentors for you? Thank you for that question.
Absolutely. My mama, because she's so strong. When I asked her,
how can you go from Perrysburg, Ohio to star in original Hole, which was on a two lane road, a truck dealership out in the middle of a cornfield that actually did really well because their service department was so strong.
But my mom was a socialize, She was a class act. She
was like a Joan Crawford, right, And how could I mean she I talk to people all the time. And when I interviewed my podcast that had
terrible childhoods and I had We didn't have a terrible childhood. It's just they
never gave me any attention. So when I was young, it was there
was a kiss on the forehead, It wasn't a hug. My dad never
said he loved me, and I always drive for attention. Dude, get
this, I'm going back a minute, but I wrecked six cars in high school. Six you know, line, I wanted my dad to notice me,
and you know what would happened, Go see Dick, go get another car. Yeah, dude, I just went to the car. Tell me
something, Teach me life, And seriously, I'm ashamed at it. Bro.
I was a middle the upper middle class, rich kid who knew nothing about life. And as much as when I'd say this, my dad was
not a role model except what not to do. I think it was David
Long brought on my show once and I said, David, who's your role models? He didn't have one, but he said, I can tell you
ten people that I did things exactly the opposite the day that they did right, and I wouldn't do anything like the dad. I love him, Nolan,
I've forgiven him. But my mother we in later years became incredible friends
and it wasn't just about she was my rock. She was one year they
got me. Get this, I shouldn't tell you guys this, you're gonna
charge me. Hey, dealers, franchise and independent, we have some great

We want to help

at least let us do a quick and free check up on your website.
We can't wait to hear from you. Go to tamas dot com. Back
to the show. She got me a van for Christmas. I swear not
a little busy van, a shag and wagon and had carpetenter and had farah faucet poster in the wall, and it had a big mudwiser being bag chair because I was moving to Florida, Seia. And she said, and they
said, we want you to live there while you're trying to get a job.
I didn't live there. I was gonna live in a vand by the
river. And years later, you know what she told me that might have
been the biggest mistake I ever did, was giving me that vand dull.
But my point is she was incredible. She in terms of running a business,
she did that every day. Why don't she take that twenty minute drive
to Stony Ridge because she had to? That's right. She had you and
she proved that we can't always have the good job that like Steve Job says that we love we can't always do that, but sometimes we're dealt some cards where we got to play and we got to grind with what's in front of us. That's what she did. And she'd got into a multimillion dollar business
because she had to. She didn't even know how to run a business man.
She went to business school. That's my model. That's my role model.
That's the person. There's one and only my mom. But I will
say my wife isn't a champion of the cause. She's an incredible woman.
Again, Why she married me, I don't know, but she loves me so much and she's been my partner in this ministry. She's been my partner
in life. And dude, I was married before but we have this love
story and she's and through this love story, I've really realized what it means to be in a love focused marriage and be selfless, I hope, and not selfish anymore. But my wife is and funny enough, her and my
mom have a lot of characteristics, strong integrity women, and I think that happens sometimes. But I have so much respect for my wife. So there's
the two. Well, yeah, no doubt. I had a feeling Mom
was going to be the one man, and I get it in definitely.
I think all of us, we can all agree, Lou and I and you both, all three of us can say our wives are raised us quite a bit too. So very blessed to have all these amazing, strong,
powerful women in our lives that showed us not only how to be better people, but how to help other people do the same thing. And I think
that's a great thing to do and have in your life. To be able
to say, hey, my greatest mentor was my mother, And I could pretty much say the same thing, my friend. So I totally agree with
you, and I love where your heart is with that. Yeah, it
was huge. Yeah, thank you. Something that some of your solutionaries may
not know. Is that work a little bit inside of trying to make a
little bit of music. Maybe you might get the chance to hear. The
time that I did get into the studio, we did put out a song, and I had to make sure one of the songs that I got in there was a song to my mother. I'm telling you, no, son,
this is hot man, watch this watch i'mone to talk about my mom.
Right. Tupac made it sound good. I don't think I wanted that,
but no, there was some great vocals, great people that got onto that song with us, great collaboration and the production of it. But the
heartbeat was to because I'm a MoMA's boy, and I appreciate it, and I know how bad I made it for my mom. I know I was
a whole lot of my mama's headache. And with that, now, it's
so great that we get the chance to have our mothers. Now, you
had a mother that had ninety seven years of fulfillment and striving and cultivating great people like you. That's an incredible legacy and we're honoring me. We're honored
to have a piece of your mom that we're able to talk to right now and shout out too, great women in automotive that found a way to make sure that something happened by educating themselves to get to the next level. That's
huge, And shout out to all you other incredible women in automotive making it do what it do. This song's for you. We honor you, we
appreciate you all. With that said, because we know the challenges that women
have had in this business, we know the challenges that women continue to have inside of this business, and we want to keep trying to do what we can to level the playing field and make this be a business that does include all of us, just like the troubles in our story are included inside of our victory lessons. You can't have the story of Peter walking on water without
there being a storm present and people being petrified of seeing Jesus walking on water, right, You don't have that story without the storm. You don't have
the great victories of healings without the ailment or without the brokenness inside of that.
This is often where our biggest lessons come from. This is where we
get to grow the most. Because you'll hear it often said here the only
place that you're really going to grow is where you get uncomfortable, and with that we want to know for you, Barton, and you've explained a whole lot of stuff. You dropped a whole lot of story out here already.
But what has been your hardest lesson to date? I think the hardest lesson
was to realize that I left to my own devices was as I think the hardest lesson was to realize I've wasted a lot of time. I really think
that's been I think that I think my ceiling was a whole lot bigger as a youngster, but I didn't pay attention to it. I self sabotaged it.
And I talk a lot about how do we change? How do you?
And I change? Number one massive self awareness? So again it goes
back to why am I here? Because if I know myself, then I
can grow myself. And the farther I can grow myself, the more I
don't have to look in the back anymore. I can look and see who
that baby bart was, and I don't have to be that anymore. And
who I am now blows me away. Who I am now? What's so
interesting is I sell with integrity now. I didn't sell with integrity before.
I sell with relationship Now. I sold with manipulation before, and I don't
have to go for the clothes anymore. It just happens with the hot knife
and the butter, because I am. If you do enough to solve the
problem with integrity and authenticity, the solution happens comes. And I think that's
a message, whether we're a leader, whether we're in sales, no matter what we're doing, whether a parent. But for me to die to self
and to realize that I've wasted a lot of years is probably the hardest lesson that I had to look in the mirror and say, I don't want to be that anymore. But having said that, and this is a big butt,
I ain't who I am by far. I'm one hundred percent and I'm
not narcissistic anymore. I don't flirt anymore. I don't strive for attention anymore.
I don't lie anymore, try not to. I still cuss a little
bit, but my point is I'm not who I was, And even though I can regret the past, who cares? This is my time. This
is our time. It doesn't matter for forty two, sixty two, ninety
two or whatever. This is our time. Then, it's our time to
grow. The more we grow, the more we can go help other people.

Back to the show, Let's go. So. I don't live by
regret, but I have to remember I don't want My story isn't drugs and alcohol. My story isn't failed marriage or as My story is victory. That's
right, that's right, possibility, found stuff, one hundred percent responsibility, Jesus at my stid. Absolutely, that's good. Yes, I love it,
love it, love it, love it, love it. And I
hear that, I hear that I hear that, my friend, that's powerful and it is. You're not defined by your past. We are. We
all make mistakes. If there's a person on this planet who hasn't made a
mistake, send me your name and number. I'll send you a thousand dollars.
Spiff, right now, what's your book? I'm just telling you because
there really is no such thing as being perfect. It's just striving to be
the best version of yourself. Listen, we all have our struggles, we
all make mistakes. But at the end of the day, you know,
that's how we learn. If you're not making mistakes, you're not messing up,
you're not really trying, and it's okay as long as your heart's in the right direction. It's it's one thing to go out and make a mistake
by stumbling through your words, then it is going out and stabbing somebody just saying, don't make that mistake. But at the end of the day,
what we say sometimes we say the wrong thing. Sometimes we say things out
of anger. Sometimes we say things out of malice because we feel like somebody's
doing us wrong, when really, when someone does you wrong, at the end of the day, the best thing to do is just hit them back with love. So that's one of the hardest things in the world to do.
For me, I end up doing it. I end up sometimes going
maybe a little the wrong direction. But then after I do it, I'm
like, Okay, I'm going back the other direction now because I don't want to be that person. I don't want to feel like that. I don't
want to feel like I'm a guy who's trying to hurt somebody. I'm here.
Really, everything I do, whether I make mistakes or not, is truly with the intentions to help somebody or to help to do better. But
sometimes those decisions are just not the right ones, and I'm make a mistake and I go backwards or I help somebody else go backwards, And did I do it on purpose? No? But shit, I feel bad. I
do. I feel bad when that happens. But sometimes I feel a little
insecure. So maybe I will come off as a little snipish. I was
just because I do it my wife than anyone. I guarantee it. But
that's how we are. Yeah, so can I There's that just a huge
lesson I think in this. In twenty fifteen, we talked about the book
a little bit. I don't know what your next question is, but I
want to throw this out there. The book was taking the twelve steps as
twelve chapters and taking this twelve steps of recovery and talking about my story talking about the steps. What Step one is that we have been we're powerless over
whatever in our life, have become unmanageable. That's not an easy topic,
but admit it. What do we need to admit as men and women on
our journey, whether we're in a car dealership as a man or whatever.
We have to admit why? Because this makes us better humans. If we're
better humans, we're going to have better results and we're going to have a better life. So admit what do we need to admit? A step one?
Step two came to believe. If you don't believe in something, you're
going to fall for anything. Step three made the decision what do we need
to make a decision on? I needed to make a decision fellas to change
my brain my thoughts. I had to really pay attention to my thoughts and
I had to really look at how do I change my neural encoding to mation of my thoughts were where I wanted to be, not to where I was, and that's what I did. I changed my thoughts and I didn't hang
out in bars anymore, and I didn't hang out with bad girls anymore.
I changed everything. But it started with my thinking. Romans twelve two don't
be transformed by the renewing of your mind, and that's what I did.
I had to transform my mind. There's a great book by Craig Groschell called
Winning the War in Your Mind, and that book was really important for me to reprogram this mass here. But my book does that. Actually, it
talks about where I was, the change in my thinking, and the change in my thinking leading to this place of victory and peace, because that's all I wanted was peace. And that's where the twelve Steps, Although they take
some work, they're the best personal development steps in the universe. If somebody
is willing to do the twelve steps, they will never be the same human being again. And that's what this book takes you through, all the twelve
steps for us to be better humans. We don't have to be sticking needles
in our arms to be an addict. We are with our anger. We
could be an addict in so many different ways, but this allows us to develop as humans, and if we did every twelve step, dude, I'm telling you you won't be the same person. How's the wretch like me get
thirty eight years? How do I get free from porn? Even though for
decades it was kicking my butt? Only because I changed my thinking and I
work the steps, and I have brothers around me that held me accountable.
And that's what that hold. Come on. The word says as a man
thinketh in his heart, so is he. And that is what you're dropping
is stuff that people need to be able to hear in order to start carving out new neural pathways, like you said, new highways that help people quickly get to the right thought about themselves, about other people first, and foremost about God and the things is we are programmed because of our experiences. We
have our own programming that leads us to a quick thought. And that's because
it's become familiar. Our brain wants to work as little as possible in order
to come up with an answer, come up with a solution, or come up with a movement. Our brain is designed that way to use as little
energy as possible to do that. But if we can create, like you're
saying, those neuropathways. They get us to those thoughts better, the right
thoughts. That's what transforms us. And then the word says it be transformed
by the renewing of your mind. You have to keep pouring some stuff in
consistently, and that's so huge. The good stuff and the bad stuff has
to get washed through. Ah love what you're saying, no doubt about it.
And that leads us to the very last question. And I think that
everything is accumulated to where we're at right now. And I love it.
Man. This story has been amazing. I love your journey. I love
everything you've been telling us. You're whys and you've told us so many different
levels of wise right, and every time you keep getting new reminders of otherwise.
Your mother and the women in your life have been super important to you.
Your family, the legacy you're leaving, the people that you're being able to help, the education that you're getting, the troubles, even the struggle that you went through. You know that they were necessary for you to become
the Bart Nolanberger you are today. And you know what, And like I
said, your father's super proud of you. Man. I know that.
And what I can tell you. Is no doubt your mom loves and she's
still shining on you right now. I could see her right now, just
shining right behind you, right so you could just feel the light. So
the fifth question, yes, of course your wife. We all know,
we already know that in front of every great man is a great woman.
It's not behind it's in front of every great man's a great woman, just so you know, and even more great person. But anyway, that being
said, we all have great things that happen for us, and we work hard, and this is just the beginning still and I know that, like you said, it's never too late. It's just about doing it right now.
But for now, what has been your greatest reward for all the hard work you put together in your life? Quick question? Do you know what
smart Pixel two point zero, Location IQ and Audience IQ have in common?

my friend, and we want to invite all of our audience to go to m one hyphen Data dot com to see how they can help propel your business forward with the right data insight. Go check them out at m one
hip data dot com. Let's brew. Come on now, back to the
show. I have my marriage for sure, because I didn't know how to
do that. But I've got to also add a little shout out to my
four kids that A birthed. I loved the six I did in birth or
incredible family. Mary's but an incredible parent. I've got a daughter of thirty
eight who's going to nursing school right now. She's an acupuncturist, but she
decided she wanted to do a new career at thirty eight. God bless her.
Incredible. She's list in California. Incredible soul. I've got my son
I told you about that has four businesses between him and his wife and he's just grinding. I've got a son who's a play by play guy for the
Salesday Sharks organization. He's following his dream. Yeah and yeah, yeah yeah.
And I've got a third his twin brother, As was a scout for the Browns, but now he's selling real estate. And get this, my
two thirty two year olds, both of them asked me to officiate their weddings, and I said, I think you've got the wrong guy. You want
me to officiate your wedding, that's victory. That is showing everybody what's possible.
And look, the profits come. But if we're not great people,
the profit ain't gonna come. It's a character. That's German where we are.
It's all about character people. Once we break crust, it takes a
lot to get it back. And when people keep the trust, that's when
people keep coming back to you because they trust you and they know that you care and they know you want to help. And for my kids to be
where they are in their journey, I get excited. This is real,
this is authentic. I'm having fun here right. I'm not trying to be
somebody I'm not. I am just so proud of them and who they are.
And for them to ask me to marry him, I know what an honor of what's family love, and that's what I'm talking about. I wouldn't
be able to make it through that. Oh man, it'll be a horrid
when to get through. But man, what a story to pull in that.
And goodness, cor Guy's cargays listening and hearing and feeling this. This
isn't because he had a great example. This isn't because he had a horrible
example. This is because he changed his thinking. He readjusted how it was
that he thought concerning his family, concerning this industry. No longer should our
kids be sacrificed on the altar of our profits and our business being built.
If anything, it should be the reason why we have some much motivation to build it, to be even greater, to be have even more integrity, and to make it enticing for them. We don't want our kids to loathe
this industry because they didn't get the attention that they should have gotten. We
want them to love it and honor it because, Wow, we provided great for them and it brought great character out of their mother their father. Goodness,
mart you're hitting my heart strings over here, brother, good I think this was coming to them. This is what I get to do for a
living, Guys, This is what I love coaching people, doing one on one coaching with people and just hearing their soul and I help them get from there to there. Even if it's a marriages. That is what I get
to do. So I can't do it it pays a money reward. I
get to do it in ministry and I pray it gives me all kinds of rewarrants. And we're doing these mastermind groups, which are groups of ten to
eleven managers and we hang out for ten weeks really working on things like accountability and priorities and personal develop It's so great to bond with these people on this journey. I couldn't have a better job. I got better job. You
