Dennis Wisco is as passionate as he is knowledgeably about present and future trends in the world of mobility. That is no surprise when you consider the non-traditional route taken by this native of Orange County, California, who is also the co-founder of UC Irvine’s “Rip’em ‘Eaters” school tradition. The innovative path that Dennis has explored started with college athletics, continued through the automotive world, and led him to explore the future of mobility.
Dennis studied Economics at the University of California, Irvine. Early in his career, Dennis served as the Director of Annual Giving in the UC Irvine Athletic Department. His experience there formed the foundation of his consultative approach to automotive sales. That, in turn, sparked the debut of Wisco Weekly, a podcast originally focused on helpful tips about buying and selling vehicles. Wisco Weekly has more recently evolved into a business podcast that examines the future of automobiles and mobility.
“Once Wisco Weekly was up and running, people were asking me more and more about insights into the automotive industry, not just to buy or sell their cars,” Dennis recalls. “As the audience grew and I became a trusted, unbiased source, I expanded the show to include interviews about the future of the automobile and transportation mobility.”
As a trusted podcaster and host of Wisco Weekly, Dennis plans to bridge the gap between where we are now and the science fiction future of transportation. As he stated many times, there are opportunity costs to progressing towards this science fiction future and by sharing the voices of the full spectrum of automotive and transportation professionals, Dennis hopes to help his audience to reach a consensus about the most effective way forward, and for his audience to earn or save a buck or two along the way.
