Beyond Blue Sky - A Kerrigan Conversation provides listeners with key insights into a seller’s mindset during the sale process and personal decision making leading up to what is often a once-in-a-generation transaction. We are honored to share these candid conversations with Kerrigan Advisors’ clients to explore their family history in the car business, strategic thought process about their business, and defining moments during the buy/sell process. Each episode offers a thoughtful look at what our clients have built, the choices that determined their business success and the lessons learned in the sale process.
In Kerrigan Advisors' inaugural Beyond Blue Sky podcast, we are pleased to feature Carey (Beardmore) Hamilton, former owner of Beardmore Auto Group, founded in 1919 by Maurice "Moe" Beardmore. The group operated in Kansas and Nebraska for over 100 years, serving the Omaha market for 60 years.
In 2026, Carey and her husband Brian hired Kerrigan Advisors to sell Beardmore Subaru, Chevrolet and Hyundai in Bellevue, Nebraska to Minnesota-based Morrie's Automotive Group, the 74th largest dealership group in the US, marking the group's entrance into the Nebraska market.
In the interview, Carey shares her family’s century-long legacy, the factors that led to their decision to sell, and her perspective on the challenges ahead for the industry, including consolidation, AI and the growing scale required to compete in major metro markets.
