Paul Kramer / Selling Cars, Rallying, and How to Not Die.

Paul didn't set out to run a dealership. He set out to build a clubhouse for car people, and AutoKennel is what happened along the way.

In this episode, I sit down with Paul, the driving force behind AutoKennel, the Southern California shop that has quietly become a gathering place for enthusiasts as much as a licensed dealer and brokerage. We talk about how a passion project turned into a real business, what sets his approach apart from the typical consignment outfit, and why the people around the cars matter as much as the cars themselves.

Paul also opens up about his cancer diagnosis and the road through recovery, and how the experience reshaped his perspective on the business, the community around it, and what actually matters when you strip everything else away. It's an honest conversation, and one that goes deeper than the usual shop talk.
