GOD, CARS, and DIESELGATE: Alan's Leadership During Industry Scandal | Alan Brown | Episode #153

Alan Brown is a people-first leader with a flair for creating world-class cultures in the demanding automotive sales industry. He started his career in the car business in 1990 washing cars before working his way up and partnering in three different Volkswagen stores.  He is now the General Manager for Sam Pack's Five Star Chevrolet in Carrollton, TX.

Alan’s relationship with work took a life-changing turn when a friend challenged him to add prayer to his manager meetings. That moment made Alan realize he can and should put his faith at the forefront of every part of his business. It is a good thing Alan learned that faith comes first early in his career as preparation for what comes next.

Alan faced an immense challenge when he was chairman of the VW National Dealer Council through Dieselgate and the subsequent settlement. This scandal completely consumed Alan’s life for almost two years as he played a key role representing the needs of the dealer network while also handling the fallout at his own dealerships.

Alan does a morning devotional every Monday through Saturday at 5:30 am CST, which he sends via text message to many. You can receive his texts by sending him a message at 972-824-6096. He also hosts a daily devotional on LinkedIn with thousands of followers every Wednesday morning.
