ASOTU = Automotive State of the Union

Paul J Daly created the Automotive State of the Union in response to the chaos and fear of the COVID shutdown in early 2020 with the founding belief that “When Dealers Band Together, No Crisis Can Win.”

Soon after, Kyle Mountsier joined the vision in 2021, emphasizing the belief that a focused community can truly shift the culture and perception of the retail automotive industry.

In 2023, well-known for his digital marketing savvy and engaging auto podcasts, Michael Cirillo was brought into the fold, thus forming the foundation of ASOTU as we know it today.

. . .

The heart of the retail auto industry is one that deserves to be known, and our team is committed to getting the word out.

ASOTU | More Than Cars is a community born out of collaboration. It’s the open sharing of ideas, best practices, and techniques that allow us to learn from each other.

Day in. Day out. Relentlessly.

. . .

Paul, Kyle, and Michael are dedicated to bringing together the automotive industry and vendor partners to create a better future — together.

We invite you to join our community and make your voice heard. We believe everyone has something valuable to contribute and we can all benefit from new perspectives.

As they say, “If you want to go far, go together.”

Friends, let’s go far.
