Automotive State of The Union
Scott Bieler’s Vision Comes to Life at Villa Maria College
Episode #1010: Head Writer Chris Reeves joins the show to not talk about tariiffs. Instead, we talk about stage names and the impact that dealers are making in their communities.
What started as a press release a year ago is now a tangible symbol of community investment. The Scott Bieler Center for Academic Excellence is officially open, offering Villa Maria College students a place to connect, learn, and succeed.
- Bieler’s West Herr leadership mindset helped drive the project from vision to reality.
- The new center reflects a commitment to education and the broader Buffalo community.
- Behind-the-scenes collaboration and daily effort made it happen.
- It’s a reminder that the skills we use in retail—planning, teamwork, and follow-through—can transform lives outside the showroom.
Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.
