In this episode, we sit down with Colleen Shannon of Shannon Family Automotive to talk about leadership, growth, and navigating major transitions in both business and life. Colleen shares her journey of stepping into leadership during a breaking point, the lessons she and her husband learned from swapping roles, and how they discovered new strengths by leaning into each other’s “working geniuses.”

We dive into hiring and team culture, the importance of asking the right interview questions, and why understanding people beyond their work matters so much. Colleen also opens up about the struggles of business ownership, the power of resilience, and how redefining traditional roles created new opportunities for both her family and her shop.

Whether you’re a shop owner, a leader in any industry, or someone facing tough transitions, this conversation is filled with wisdom, honesty, and encouragement.
