a Greg Meakin eMagazine
The original Secrets from the Inside, a how-to book about car buying, will be re-released this year with updated analysis of how the industry has changed (or, not changed a bit) in today’s market, as we approach 2020.
Tune in to this eMag for information about the new book…
Enrolled Secret Members will also receive Sneak Previews, and even entire chapters in advance.
Lary has agreed to contribute some of his fabulous auto reviews, as well as writing articles analyzing today’s business world, and political climate. As a former publisher, Lary is one of the most knowledgeable and well-versed guys I know.
As the publisher of this online eMagazine, I really look forward to seeing Lary’s work in my Inbox. I really like his take on things. –GM
Of all the sections of this eMagazine, this will be one of the most fun for me. Being a car guy since the late 70s, and having just retired from the industry, I look forward to discussing the industry — and telling great stories — from today’s (and yesterday’s) car guys.
Stay tuned to this section. You haven’t lived until you’ve heard car guys banter — but I will definitely make a rule that there is no cussing, or filthy jokes allowed on the Car Guy Blog!

LARY COPPOLA
Lary Coppola is my kinda guy. He has been an e-pal and confidant since the late 80s. Has been a publisher, writer, mayor, and is now a port commissioner. Lary is also car nut, and a professional auto reviewer, and I’ve asked him to share some of his reviews in this e-magazine, as well as his insights in other areas of life. Most importantly to me, Lary Coppola is a nice guy. He loves his family, friends, and his country. Lary was one of the first guest contributors I invited to share his secrets from the inside – be it politics, business, or cars!
Derek Gatehouse will be an ongoing contributor to Secrets from the Inside, Business Section. He has has been my best friend, my Life Coach, my Life Line, and my giggle buddy for over fifty years. He is also the best salesman, best sales guru, and best sales author I know. Since publishing his industry-jarring The Perfect Sales Force in 2007, Gatehouse has been the biggest celebrity nobody knows — except the CEOs, Sales Managers, and even novice managers in other industries were using it as a biblical how-to build and manage a sales force. He landed on the map of many Top 10 Reviews over the years, and although Derek has a slew of published out there (and inside the sales industry libraries and board rooms), The Perfect Sales Force is my favourite sales and management book of all time. And that, my friends, is saying a lot.
