Episode 11: Your NADA Survival Guide – Part 2 – More Survival Stories Hosts Dave Rogers and Steve Shaw wrap up their two-part deep dive into the NADA Show 2026 experience with even more hard-hitting, battle-tested stories from the trenches. Building on Part 1’s reflections from past conventions, this episode delivers fresh survival tales, insider warnings, and real-deal anecdotes about navigating the Las Vegas expo floor chaos.
Dave and Steve share additional war stories from previous NADA shows—what actually worked, the vendor traps that cost dealers big, near-miss scams, and the moments that turned good intentions into fixed ops nightmares. They tie it all back to prepping for the upcoming NADA Show 2026 (February 3-6 at the Las Vegas Convention Center), offering more practical tips on dodging pitfalls, spotting genuine opportunities, and walking away with tools that truly boost your service department profits—not just regrets and swag bags.
If you’re heading to Vegas this February (or just want to learn from others’ scars), tune in for the unfiltered continuation: more laughs, more lessons, and zero fluff. Part 2 keeps it real so you can survive—and thrive—at NADA.
