On Monday, CEO students had the exciting opportunity to tour Holm Automotive! Ross Taplin welcomed them and introduced key team members across the business. Students explored the front-end sales department, auto service, body shop, and more—gaining a behind-the-scenes look at what keeps the business running smoothly.

Ross shared valuable advice, encouraging students to not only focus on starting a business but to think about long-term success, asking, "Anyone can start a business, but can you maintain it?" He emphasized the importance of continuous learning, reminding them, "You don't want to be the smartest person in the room, or you're not growing."

Students also discussed mission statements, core values, different ways to purchase a vehicle, the importance of credit, and so much more! So many powerful lessons packed into one visit.
