S02E08 - KC Crain Talks Family Business Dealings and Automotive News

KC Crain says he doesn’t like to give advice – only opinions, but we think the insights he gives  are quite compelling. From starting as a reporter to his current role as CEO at Crain Communications, a publishing company that includes dealer-favorite Automotive News, he has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to working with family and managing customers to navigating the influence he has overseeing an industry-leading publication.

Based in the Detroit area, KC is active in business and civic activities and is passionate about the city’s current and future growth.

Listen in to the podcast where our hosts Marc Spoto and Elliot Schor hear KC’s take on:

  • Family-run businesses - conflicts, benefits and his opinion on raising the next generation
  • Turning frustrated customers into long-term relationships
  • The age-old battle of print vs. digital content
  • Automotive News and the pressure of being an industry leader
  • EV and the Tesla effect – Will EVs be a majority of future sales? Will some EV manufacturers fold in the next few years?
