Danny P on Cars! Sliding doors with John Dyste - Selling Porsches, how leadership really sets the tone for culture (and success) and Emory Outlaws

I catch up with friend and fellow podcaster John Dyste. John has one of the coolest jobs in the car world selling Porsches at Porsche Colorado Springs. We explore how a chance visit on a weekend set his car career in motion. Along for the ride was John's son Lewis who aged 10 knows more about cars than most adults! Bonus episode coming soon with Lewis!
John Dyste, the Sales Guy at Porsche Colorado Springs and the co-host of First Dibs podcast. John dishes out his journey from childhood car enthusiast to becoming an authority in the field, with pit stops at city planning at Cornell and engineering at the University of Minnesota. His unexpected detour into bartending is a testament to life's unpredictability, while also adding a dash of humor to his narrative.
Fuel your fascination for luxury cars as we throttle through the lanes of Porsche models and car dealership stories with John. The hybrid Porsche 911 and the classic 1974 Porsche G-Series Outlaw are just some models that we peel back the layers on. John's anecdotes about the Pike's Peak Hill Climb, America's second oldest race, and amusing dealership tales - including a test drive catastrophe and a peculiar barter involving Tiffany lamps - guarantee a ride full of laughs and surprises.
Finally, we shift gears to discuss the exhilarating world of car enthusiasts. John shares his insights on the ongoing stick versus auto debate, his top choices for driving roads and track, and his favorite movie car. The conversation takes a philosophical turn as we talk about the joy of sharing one's passion and being a part of the automotive world. This episode is a tribute to all the car enthusiasts out there and a reminder of the importance of following one's passion. Tune in for a joyride with John Dyste through the fascinating world of Porsche!
