Six Dealerships. One Mission: Protect the House. (Hear How One of the Best Operators Does It.)

What does it really mean to Protect the House? In this conversation, I sit down with Ryan Sodikoff to talk about how he approaches protecting six dealerships, not just from the obvious risks, but from the problems that can threaten the business, reputation, and legacy he has worked to build. Great dealers spend enormous amounts of time focused on selling cars, taking care of customers, developing employees, and growing the business. But protecting what you've already built requires a different mindset. We talk about risk, compliance, accountability, leadership, and why being proactive almost always costs less than being reactive. Because the biggest threats to a dealership aren't always the ones you can see coming. Our philosophy is simple: Find the problem before the problem finds you. That's what Tom Kline does as a fractional Risk & Compliance Executive, a dealership bodyguard focused on identifying vulnerabilities, strengthening processes, and making the dealership more defensible before a customer complaint, lawsuit, regulator, employee issue, cyber event, or insurance claim puts those systems to the test. If you're a dealer principal, GM, executive, attorney, or insurance professional, this conversation is worth your time. 🐙 Protect your House. Protect your business. Protect your reputation. Protect your legacy.
