CAR VERTICAL LINK (DISCOUNT CODE "SUCCESS" ) - https://www.carvertical.com/gb/landing/v3?utm_source=infl&a=RoadToSuccess&b=38b26e3a&voucher=success What does it really take to survive — and thrive — in the car trade in 2026?In this brutally honest conversation, Mike opens up about the reality behind the cameras: the rise, the scale, the collapse of a 100+ staff dealership, borrowing £40 million to fund stock, spiralling industry costs, and why he STILL says… “Yes.
