He shares why open dialogue matters, how his perspective shifted with BRP, and why digital lead follow-up may be the industry’s most overlooked opportunity.

Candid, bold, and focused on helping dealers win.

Mark Sheffield doesn’t need much of an introduction—so we let the stories do the work. In Part 1 of this two-part GarageCast series, Mark shares how his path from the U.S. Army (and the First Gulf War in M1 Abrams tanks) shaped the mental toughness that later fueled his powersports career.

He breaks down how becoming “the guy who can fix it” —including a Lightspeed server crash that made him the go-to problem-solver—opened doors, built influence, and helped him grow with the Woods family at Woods Fun Center. You’ll also hear lessons on leadership, accountability, and why 20 Groups became his “paid MBA.”

Part 2 drops next Tuesday.
