We’re bringing back another two-guest episode, and this is one you won’t want to miss, especially if you are an aspiring dealer! Perry Watson IV and Damon Lester, both of The National Association of Minority Automobile Dealers (NAMAD), discuss how the association is changing the lives of minorities within the automotive industry, what individuals who want to own a dealership can be doing, and more.

NAMAD, founded in 1980, is an association that champions advocates for diversity and inclusion in all areas of the automotive industry. If you’ve never attended a NAMAD conference, Damon says the atmosphere is such that “you feel like you’re at a family reunion.”
