17-Year-Old Leads, Broken CRMs, and Other Dealer Problems

17-Year-Old Leads, Broken CRMs, and Other Dealer Problems

Fun chat with Phil McTaggart, Director of Internet Marketing at Johnson Auto Plaza in Colorado.

Phil has one of the more interesting jobs in automotive right now: helping a successful, old-school dealership figure out how to balance decades of traditional advertising with the realities of digital marketing in 2026.

We talk about everything from convincing ownership that paid search is a thing, to cleaning up CRMs with 17-year-old service leads still sitting in them, to why so many dealers ignore their most valuable asset: their customer data.

Along the way, we debate high-funnel marketing, why sales teams should know what marketing campaigns are running, whether Amazon really wants to sell cars, and how AI might eventually judge your dealership based on a random Reddit comment from someone you've never met.

We also discuss why dealerships overcomplicate things, why "because I listen to that radio station" is a terrible advertising strategy, and how Phil reinvented his career after a serious health diagnosis forced him off the showroom floor.

If you're in automotive, you'll probably find yourself nodding along. If you're not, you'll at least learn why car guys can spend 20 minutes arguing about a CRM.

Enjoy the conversation.

The Danbury Weather Guy

The Danbury Weather Guy

If you live anywhere around Western Connecticut, you probably don’t check the weather app anymore… you check Jack Drake.


In this episode, Matt sits down with the “Danbury Weather Guy” to talk about how he built a massive local following just by consistently showing up, explaining the weather in a way people actually understand, and not overhyping every storm.


They get into:


How it all started (with no real plan)

Why avoiding sensationalism has actually built more trust

What goes into creating his daily forecasts and contentAnd how he’s beginning to monetize it with sponsors and new ideas

It’s also a really interesting look at how local media is evolving, this isn’t a TV station, it’s one person with the right information, delivering value every single day.


If you’ve ever thought about building an audience, this episode is a great reminder that consistency and trust still win.

Creators Are Skipping Social… And Going Straight to TV

Creators Are Skipping Social… And Going Straight to TV

Creators are starting to skip social platforms entirely… and go straight to TV.


Streaming — FAST and AVOD — is evolving quickly, and it’s no longer just “free junk TV.” It’s becoming a real destination for content, creators, and advertisers.


At the same time, AI is leveling the playing field — giving small and mid-sized businesses the ability to compete with much larger brands in ways we haven’t seen before.


In this episode, Matt sits down with Vikrant Mathur, Co-Founder of Future Today, to break down what’s actually coming in 2026 — from the rise of creator-led TV, to the maturation of FAST platforms, to how AI is reshaping advertising at every level.


If you’re a marketer still thinking in terms of just Meta and Google… this one’s worth your time.

The Social Media Line You Can’t Ignore

The Social Media Line You Can’t Ignore

Social media isn’t separate from your career anymore—it is your reputation.


In this episode of Mostly Marketing, Matt sits down with Grace Agostino, SVP of Sales and Corporate Communication at Nueva Network and author of “The Social Media Line Radio Pros Can’t Ignore” in Radio Ink Magazine.


They break down the blurred line between personal and professional social media, why what you post (and even what you like or comment on) matters more than ever, and how the algorithm is pushing people toward content that can actually hurt their long-term credibility.


While the conversation starts in the world of radio, this episode quickly expands into something much bigger—how business owners, salespeople, and anyone in a client-facing role should be thinking about their online presence.


Matt also shares real-world examples—from local community drama to dealership professionals—and why the idea of “keeping things separate” online just doesn’t hold up anymore.


If you’ve ever posted something and thought “it’s just my personal page”… this one’s for you.

Those AI Overview Things

Those AI Overview Things

Let’s be honest — this sounds like a boring topic. AI overviews,search results, and how Google decides what shows up at the top of the page?

Yeah… not exactly thrilling. But here’s the thing: it’s important. Like,super important.

Rules for Drinking Coffee

Rules for Drinking Coffee

In this Mostly Marketing Short, Matt tackles the only topic more controversial than attribution models: the proper rules for drinking coffee.

After a flood of heated LinkedIn opinions, he breaks down the wildly unhinged behavior of people who walk around in 10-degree weather with a cup of iced coffee like everything is fine.

Matt lays out his official, non-negotiable, borderline-legal guidelines for when hot coffee is mandatory, when iced coffee becomes acceptable, and what to do during the treacherous 45-to-65-degree temperature zone. Plus, a quick detour into creamer preferences, caffeine self-awareness, and why life is too ridiculous to judge anyone’s vanilla-almond-mocha-cookie-dough concoction.

Whether you’re a year-round iced-coffee loyalist or a seasonal purist, this mini-episode will absolutely validate you… or get you charged with a Class B misdemeanor.

Creative AI / Chatty G

Creative AI / Chatty G

In this episode of Mostly Marketing with Matt Wilson, Matt dives into the creative side of AI — sparked by his 75-year-old dad’s newfound obsession with “Chatty G.” From blog writing to Facebook posts, even Matt’s dad is finding new ways to make AI a daily tool. That leads Matt to a bigger question: how can agencies and marketers move beyond surface-level AI use to unlock its full potential? 

To explore that, Matt sits down with Jonathan Gudai, CEO of Adomni, to discuss how AI is transforming creative strategy, media planning, and campaign efficiency. They dig into topics like “context engineering,” how AI saves time without replacing people, and the evolving role of creativity in a tech-driven industry. Whether you’re an AI skeptic or a full-blown techno-optimist, this episode will challenge how you think about the future of marketing.
