Women in Automotive: An Interview with Laurie Halter and Brooke Furniss
The latest episode of FWRD features two automotive veterans who both stumbled into the industry by accident and never left: Laurie Holter, founder of an automotive PR and communications agency with more than two decades in the business, and Brooke Furness, a data-driven marketing and digital consultant known for telling clients what they need to hear. Hosts Corey Smith and Erick Jauregui lead a conversation that touches on relationships, career growth, and what it actually takes to build something lasting in this industry. Both guests speak to how strong personal and professional networks built through years in the trenches have become the foundation of their careers, and how women now in leadership roles are actively working to bring others up behind them. The conversation gets practical fast. Brooke delivers a sharp take on data, warning against trusting vendor dashboards as a source of truth and pushing back hard on the idea that a quick AI prompt replaces real strategy or expertise. Laurie points to flexible scheduling as the single most important change dealerships can make to attract more women. Brooke challenges dealer principals directly: look around your store and ask whether your staff reflects the customers you are trying to win. Both guests leave with the same core message for anyone entering this industry: walk in with confidence, do not shrink yourself for the room, and build a circle of people who will be honest with you.
