OmarMo93 · Oct 2025

I recently started listening to the show and now look forward to listening daily. The only downfall to listening during my commute is the inability to take notes. I started listening a second time to jot down notes and how I want to apply some of the things shared on the show. Thanks for a great product, keep up the great work CDG team!

Really appreciate the range of guests they bring on Daily Dealer Live — makes for super dynamic conversations every time. Yossi and Sam also do a great job cutting through the fluff and getting straight to the good stuff with their questions. I recently had the chance to join them to chat about rideshare and autonomy (topics I cover in my newsletter, The Driverless Digest) and it was a genuinely insightful convo. Definitely one of the more thoughtful industry shows out there.

Harry Campbell · Jun 2025

I’m not even in the car business, but as a car junkie I look forward to every episode. Always new information about an incredibly complicated and interesting business.
