Empire Indemnity Insurance Company Risk Retention Group, Inc. will host entrepreneur and BHPH businessman Scott Carlson in its booth at the NIADA Expo in Las Vegas June 19 to 23. Guests will have the opportunity to meet the iconic businessman and receive a free signed copy of his latest book, "Stalwart Lot Rat."

With a career spanning over five decades, Carlson is widely recognized for his achievements in the used-car financing industry. He founded AutoZoom, a risk-management SaaS company, but it was his humble beginnings that ignited his passion for helping struggling dealerships succeed. His family’s BHPH dealerships, Mike Carlson Motor Co., originated over 200,000 used-car financings with substandard credit buyers.

"Stalwart Lot Rat" delves into the life lessons Carlson learned in the BHPH business, providing readers with hard-won insights into achieving success. The book offers personal anecdotes and a wealth of knowledge on essential topics, such as the power of wise borrowing, resource optimization for maximum returns, the importance of estate planning to avoid disaster, finding the right financial partner, and how to pivot in business when necessary. Carlson’s journey offers readers an honest, unfiltered take on navigating the complexities of the BHPH business with resilience, grit and ingenuity. The nuggets of wisdom are sure to captivate aspiring entrepreneurs and industry veterans alike.

All convention guests are invited to Booth 359 to meet Scott and get signed copy of the book. For more information about Scott Carlson and his latest book, visit the book's webpage here.
