    Matthew McConaughey | The Sexy Practicality of a Texan Truck
    Mar 13 2024
    As the youngest brother in a family of storytellers, Matthew McConaughey had to hone his storytelling craft in order to hold his own at the dinner table. He regales Jim with stories of the role of driving in his life: an ill-advised high school trade of his pick-up truck for a sports car; a motorcycle trip through Europe on borrowed bikes; and the origin of the first three words he ever delivered on screen, uttered from a 1970 Chevelle.

And of course, they talk about the legacy of the company that Bill’s great grandfather founded. “I love the Ford history. I loved growing up with it,” he tells Jim. “But I can't wait to see what happens tomorrow.” Follow Jim: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Jim.Farley Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jimfarley98/ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@jimfarley98 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-farley/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/jimfarley98 00:00 Introduction 01:18 Insights into the CEO Hiring Process 03:02 Bill Ford's Connection with the Environment 05:28 Revitalizing Detroit: The Michigan Central Station Project 07:27 The Ford Family Legacy 08:49 The Importance of the Auto Industry to the U.S. 09:43 Bill Ford's Connection with Employees and the Rouge Incident 13:50 Bill Ford's Personal Interests: Fly Fishing and Hockey 16:10 Bill Ford's Passion for Racing 17:18 The Detroit Lions and the City's Sports Culture 17:49 The Story of Owning a Football Team 19:08 The Love for Cars and the Evolution of Ford 20:21 The Ford Family's Connection with the Company 21:56 The Future of Ford and the Shift to Electric Vehicles 23:31 Memories of First Cars and Learning to Drive 25:54 The Next Generation of the Ford Family in the Business 28:34 The Challenges and Triumphs of Leading Ford 32:26 Reflections on Legacy and the Future of Ford Learn more about your ad choices.
