We Are United is an automotive podcast that breaks down stereotypes about car dealerships and salespeople while highlighting the genuine community impact of Forman Automotive Group. Hosted by Richard, the self-proclaimed “Director of Awesomeness,” each episode features real conversations with guests from across the industry and community—showcasing stories of resilience, trust, and connection.
From back-to-school backpack drives to supporting local families in need, this show goes beyond cars to spotlight how dealerships can be true partners in their communities. Listeners get an authentic inside look at the car business, discovering that salespeople are just people—fathers, mothers, friends, and neighbors—committed to helping others make some of life’s biggest decisions.
Entertaining, insightful, and community-driven, We Are United is about more than vehicles. It’s about people, family, and the connections that drive us all.
