Aden McDonnell joins us today to talk about how rebranding and becoming the CEO of his businesses transformed his life. Aden owns two companies, McDonnell's ATS (Automatic transmission Specialists) and GOS Performance, and ran a third business, Destroked, a machine shop in Denver where he managed the sales and tech support. He rebranded and now operates his businesses under the umbrella of Greybeard Automotive. In this episode, Aden reveals what made him decide to rebrand without worrying about losing his clients or starting all over again. We discuss the importance for business owners to realize that just as they do, their brands, logos, and business can change and evolve with time. Aden talks about the book reading practice he turned into a habit in his company and the positive impacts of creating and maintaining the tradition of meeting with his team weekly to discuss the books they read.We also talk about Aden's transition from business owner to CEO; he shares his thoughts on how liberating it is to create responsible leaders and delegate and how he uses his freedom to focus on strategic parts of the business.   Some Questions I Ask:You recently had a transition in your business name. You've had a few different divisions of your business. So why don't we explain a little bit about what those are and what you were doing? And then why did we have to come up with a name change? (2:43)Can you talk about that book reading a little bit and explain that to our listeners?

Virtual shop tour with Aden McDonnel from McDonnell (ATS) Automatic Transmission Systems, Livingston, MT Trivia Challenge: Harley Earl designed the La Salle in 1927, the beginning of a trend towards lower and wider cars. As head of GM’s styling department, he invented the tail fin and designed which iconic car?       Dorman gives people greater freedom to fix vehicles by constantly developing new repair solutions that put owners and technicians first. By always innovating, Dorman has led the way in growing the aftermarket. Here you will see a few examples of a Dorman OE Fix. An OE FIX is a Dorman repair solution you can’t get from the original equipment manufacturer.
