What does it take to run the most powerful brand portfolio in American automotive history? Duncan Aldred knows. As GM's Senior VP and President of North America, Duncan oversees Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, and GMC - and he sat down with Jason Stein to break down exactly where the industry is headed, and how GM plans to lead it. From the real state of EV adoption (the numbers might surprise you) to Cadillac's historic Formula One debut, next-gen full-size truck launches, the jaw-dropping Corvette ZR1, and why GM's biggest superpower has nothing to do with horsepower - this is a rare, unfiltered conversation with one of the most experienced executives in the global auto industry. Duncan's story is as compelling as the products he oversees - from an internship on the factory floor in Liverpool to running Vauxhall, overseeing 30 European markets, and now leading all of North America for General Motors.
