Car Guy Coffee Podcast Presents #5Liner feat. Christene Addis

Car Guy Coffee Podcast Presents #5Liner feat. Christene Addis Welcome to The #5Liner, the show dedicated to the individual journeys that power the automotive industry. It's not about the company; it's about the individual, their career, mindset, and personal story. In each episode, we sit down with a high-quality selection of Car Guys and Car Gals to get beyond the title and into the hard earned wisdom they've gained. Join us as we uncover the wins, challenges, and #5Liner takeaways that have shaped today’s top talent.  In this episode of The Car Guy Coffee Podcast, hosts Lou Ramirez and Fred Lennartz welcome Christene Addis. Christene shares her ā€œwhyā€ as faith, family, and passion, with a focus on serving and uniting her community. She explains that automotive wasn’t her original plan—she came from nonprofit and corporate work—but fell in love with the industry’s fast pace, adaptability, people, and marketing impact after five years in the business. Christene highlights key mentors, including her adoptive father and former leader Craig Linvall, sharing lessons like ā€œWho will be better because of what I do today?ā€ and ā€œNobody cares about your storm.ā€ She names her hardest career lesson as learning that you can do everything right and still lose, and her greatest rewards as her daughter and successful community campaigns and initiatives. šŸ“²Stream it.

Car Guy Coffee Podcast Presents #5Liner feat. Paul de Vries

Car Guy Coffee Podcast Presents #5Liner feat. Paul de Vries Welcome to The #5Liner, the show dedicated to the individual journeys that power the automotive industry. It's not about the company; it's about the individual, their career, mindset, and personal story. In each episode, we sit down with a high-quality selection of Car Guys and Car Gals to get beyond the title and into the hard earned wisdom they've gained. Join us as we uncover the wins, challenges, and #5Liner takeaways that have shaped today’s top talent.  In this episode of the Car Guy Coffee Podcast, hosts Lou Ramirez and Fred Lennartz welcome Paul de Vries, a European online automotive leader whose mission is to ā€œmake online automotive a better place.ā€ Paul shares how he sold his first car online in 1998, helped build a platform to buy new cars online that was later acquired by eBay in 2015, and explains his marathon-minded approach of helping OEMs, franchise dealers, independents, and anyone in the industry without focusing on quick sales. In the show’s ā€œfive liner,ā€ Paul discusses his why, how he entered automotive through persistence after working as a gas station attendant, and how he earned his first sales role despite stuttering and limited experience. His greatest reward, he says, is being thanked years later for teaching and helping others, emphasizing the value of human capital, relationships, and attending industry events like NADA. šŸ“²Stream it.
