AAA: Serving 400,000 Hoosier Members with Matt Goins

Think AAA is just roadside assistance? Think again. CEO Matt Goins explains AAA’s full suite of member benefits, from travel deals to insurance, and shares his personal story of losing over 100 pounds.

Podcast Summary

I sat down with Matt Goins, President and CEO of AAA Hoosier Motor club. 

Off the jump I have to say... I had NO idea the extent of what AAA is involved in. It is so much more than road side assistance. This interview completely changed my perception of AAA. 

During the conversation you are going to learn about: 

  • The collective bargaining power of almost 400,000 Hoosier members

  • Benefits of AAA outside of roadside assistance

  • Matt's personal fitness journey of losing over 100 pounds
