We've only gone and had the pleasure of one of the nicest guys in the business - not to mention one of the most successful. Did you know Daksh Gupta rose through the ranks from car-washer to becoming the CEO of one of the UK's largest car dealer groups? Look out for the unexpected guest and comment below if you see...
Loved by his team at Marshall Motor Holdings plc and proudly sitting with revenues of £2.7BN, 4,600 colleagues & 11th best employer in UK, Daksh is honestly one of the best guests we've had. If we could hug him we would (!!!social distancing!!!).
Sometimes we forget that the show's actually for you (the automotive industry - and anyone else who wants to learn, prosper & grow). We would quite easily spend a few quid ourselves to listen to people like Daksh, other great leaders and people that drive the automotive industry every day. It's an even bigger gift to make it free and accessible to anyone who can benefit from it.
So here it is - and boy-o-boy, it's a good one. Get a nice cup of tea, sit back and enjoy the show!
----
In our latest episode of #TheArmchairShow - Daksh talks all things leadership.

- How Daksh spots highly investable people.
- The behaviours he says leads a person to success.
- What makes a winning business culture?
- Find out how Daksh rose from car-washer to CEO at aged just 37 - hear his story.
- Why he purchased the company he used to work for.
- THIS and MORE!!!!!
