Invest in You is a global podcast where Fredrik Sandvall shares ideas and conversations with entrepreneurs, investors, and operators. The show explores investing, entrepreneurship, AI, and personal development with a focus on long-term value, ownership, and clear decision-making.
Occasionally joined by his sons, Charlie and Ivan, the podcast blends experience with a next-generation perspective. The goal is simple: help you think better, act with intent, and build a life and portfolio that compound over time.
In this episode, Fredrik sits down with automotive industry veteran and entrepreneur Dominic Genova to explore how to build a highly successful, trust-based business in a notoriously cutthroat industry. Dom shares his journey from working 17 years at Chrysler to building an $80 million dealership, successfully selling it right before the COVID-19 pandemic, and transitioning into a savvy commercial real estate investor.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Building a Trust-Based Enterprise: In an industry plagued by bait-and-switch tactics and hidden fees, Dom built his dealership on radical transparency and treating customers fairly to create sustainable, long-term loyalty.
Knowing When to Exit: After growing his enterprise to 87 employees and $80 million in annual sales, Dom successfully sold his dealership just one week before the COVID-19 shutdowns began.
Smart Post-Exit Investing: Rather than relying on traditional financial brokers, Dom shifted his wealth into commercial real estate, securing triple-net leases with corporate tenants like Wendy’s to ensure steady, reliable cash flow.
Defining Your Life’s Currency: Dom stresses that the ultimate goal of wealth creation is determining the true “currency” of your life—whether that is time, family, or travel—because simply chasing money will never be enough.
Avoiding Industry Scams: Now a radio host and author, Dom dedicates his time to educating consumers on how to avoid being “snookered” by complex financing markups and dealership traps.
BEST MOMENTS
“If you can build an orchard and have apples come in next year, and then more apples get more apples… you have a sustainable customer base who will come back to you.”
“You need to figure out what the currency of your life is… if it’s purely money, you’re never going to have enough.”
“A life has little meaning except on the effect it has on other lives.”
