How YOU Can Challenge Stereotypes with Morgan Matthews
Ever wondered how a young woman stepped into a typically male-dominated industry and shattered stereotypes? Meet our guest, Morgan Matthews, a powerhouse in the car dealership business. As we sip on the delightfully blended malt scotch whiskey, Monkey Shoulder, Morgan reveals her journey into the family business, Matthews Motors. She shares how her academic background and mother's influence enabled her to redefine the "used car salesman" stereotype, forging trust-filled relationships with customers.
Becoming a part of Matthews Motors wasn't just about selling cars. Morgan dives into the exhilarating journey of the business's expansion, from a single location in Clayton, NC to four thriving dealerships. We get a glimpse into their truck center, and how Morgan's communication prowess has been instrumental in their marketing and content creation. But it's not all business talk - Morgan opens up about the challenges of growing up within the family business, offering a rare peek into a life where business seeps into every crevice, even weekend downtime.
The conversation takes a deeper turn as we tackle the pressures young women face in the digital age. With Morgan and co-hosts Tyler Yaw and Chris Kellum weighing in, we delve into the importance of self-love and authenticity amidst an online culture that thrives on comparison. We underscore the power of vulnerability as a tool for connection, and the need for mental detoxes from the online world. To wrap up, we lighten the mood with a chat about finding peace, embracing personal definitions of success, and a taste-driven debate over favorite ice cream flavors. Buckle up for an enlightening roller-coaster of insights and life lessons – you won't want to miss this episode!
