Drew Tutton: How to Lead a Dealership in 2025

Keep The Change

You ever wonder what separates the managers who struggle from the ones who thrive? The leaders who keep winning, even when the game changes?

In this episode I sit down with my good friend Drew Tutton, a powerhouse in the automotive, RV, and tractor industries. Drew has built a thriving business empire, but what makes him truly special isn’t just his success—it’s his approach to leadership.

And here’s the thing: the world is changing, business is changing, and if you’re still leading like it’s 2019… woof. We need to talk.

What We Dive Into:

• The hard lessons of leading through uncertainty
• Why some managers plateau—and how to break through the ceiling
• Emotional intelligence—how it affects your paycheck
• The one thing every great leader must do daily
• How coaching (not just training) transforms a business from the inside out

Drew doesn’t just talk leadership—he lives it. He shares his playbook for holding people accountable, keeping teams engaged, and why leaders need to stay “in the pocket.” Plus, we break down how emotional intelligence is the ultimate cheat code to making more money and leading with impact.

If you're a manager looking to step up, a business owner trying to build a winning culture, or someone who just wants to lead better in work and life—this episode is a must-listen.
