Paul J. Daly and Kyle Mountsier built one of the most unlikely communities in American business — inside an industry most people fall into by accident. In 2020, Paul fired up a LinkedIn Live from his basement with one go
Buying a car has always felt more complicated than it needs to be. Ray and Zach Shefska built CarEdge to fix that. In this episode, Ray who spent 43 years on the inside of the automotive industry — and his son Zach sit d
