In this episode of Autoshow Presents, host Kerri Mungar sits down with Eddie Stowers, a leadership trainer, actor, and lifelong student of human behaviour, to unpack what really drives people in sales, leadership, and workplace culture.

With more than 40 years of experience across automotive dealerships, corporate teams, and international training rooms, Eddie shares why dealerships operate like tribes, how personality types shape buying behaviour, and why understanding people matters more than product knowledge in today’s market. From the realities of selling in a post-internet world to navigating different DISC profiles (Dominant, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness), this conversation offers practical insights for anyone working with people, especially in high-pressure sales environments.

The discussion goes beyond automotive, touching on emotional intelligence, communication, online first impressions, leadership fatigue, and the importance of enthusiasm, empathy, and recovery time in performance-driven roles. Eddie also reflects on how industries, expectations, and workplace cultures have evolved, and what hasn’t changed about human nature.

This episode is packed with real stories, sharp observations, and timeless lessons on connection, trust, and leadership, relevant whether you’re in sales, management, or simply interested in how people think and behave.
