Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate our blessings and express gratitude, and in this special episode, Jan Griffiths makes it personal. She shares a heartfelt thank you to listeners, guests, and supporters who've been part of the journey to transform the culture of the automotive industry.

Jan also presents a simple yet meaningful leadership challenge: Write a handwritten note to each of your team members. Skip the corporate language—just genuine appreciation for what they bring to the table. It's a small gesture that can make a significant impact.

As a teaser for the next episode, she hints at an upcoming feature with TikTok's Head of Automotive—yes, TikTok and automotive in the same sentence! Get ready for something unexpected!

Until then, enjoy the holiday, spend time with loved ones, and take a moment to show genuine appreciation to those around you.
