As a Western Australian, the last thing I expected to hear from this interview is that Roger Penske provides powertrains and remote guiding for our mining haul packs. My brother worked for BHP and was heavily involved in the IT network that helped make that happen. Small world.
Incidentally, my first job in Michigan (coming out of graduate school in the southwest) was at Detroit Diesel Allison. I'm really surprised that John didn't ask Roger why doesn't he run for the White House. He'd make the best US president, at least in modern times. Roger, please throw your hat in the ring so I can start voting again!!!
Detroit is THE example of auto industry failures (warning to all US cities - rust belt). Make money but lost market share - lost 2/3 of Detroit population - total wages way down. John mentioned his first auto job was equal to $43 /hour - I think the 60s, right John? GM went bankrupt and only saved by US wage earners. Rich get tax cuts. Wage earners pay taxes. China seems to be taking the lead in electrics. EXCEPT for Tesla which seems the technical leader, so far. Interesting times for sure.
The auto industry is way too concentrated in Michigan. They've become too incestuous there and haven't had a new idea in about 50 years. I'm glad that Tesla is shaking the industry to its boots from California.

John, great interview with a great man, the Captain. Thanks.
Great interview with a genuinely great man. Thank you John.
1:15 Indeed. He works because the world needs him, and because his sons are unpromising... (sigh)
John great video and info! Who better to learn from that the Captain himself Roger Penske! Great job! He is an Icon of success today!
The people the United States of America are dealing with? Just the people of the world.
