    Episode #167 - Tech School Programs: The Gateway to Success w/Colby McLaughlin -Trim Illusion

    Episode Notes: 
    Can Trade Schools & Technical Programs truly be the gateway to success in the automotive aftermarket?
    If you had any doubts, I think after this episode you will agree… the answer is YES!
    This week, I’ll share the journey of my guest Colby McLaughlin, from a student in a middle-college Autobody Repair Program to a leading figure in the automotive aftermarket. Buckle up as we ride shotgun through Colby's fast-paced career, navigating the twists and turns from hands-on custom car building to the helm of Trim Illusion and the Professional Restylers Organization (PRO) Board.
     
    This high-octane episode isn't just about cool rides and chrome—it's a celebration of craftsmanship, dedication, and the drive to succeed. Check out the transformation of raw talent into industry leadership, and how mentorship can turbocharge a career from the garage floor to the executive suite. Colby's story serves up not just inspiration, but also practical wisdom for anyone looking to accelerate their own career trajectory in the automotive world.
     
    Finally, we pop the hood on SEMA's vital role in advocating for the automotive aftermarket industry, diving into the nitty-gritty of legislation and the Right to Repair Act. It's a candid look at the challenges and victories in protecting our liberty to tinker and tailor our vehicles. Whether you're a trade school student with grease under your nails or a seasoned pro looking to reconnect with your roots, this conversation will fuel your passion and maybe even spark your support for your local tech school programs.

    Episode #166- 5 Key Strategies for Managing Change

    Episode #166- 5 Key Strategies for Managing Change

    Episode Notes: 
    When unexpected change disrupts your life, is your first reaction anger, frustration, or fear… or do you jump into “finding solutions” mode? 😨
    Have you ever suffered a painful change, that when reflected on years later, actually taught you a valuable lesson… or ended up being a gift? 🎁
    What if we changed our viewpoint to “Life happens FOR us, and not TO us”? 🤔
    As we forge through the ups and downs of life's constant evolution in this episode, I’ll encourage you to explore the nature of change and how it shapes us. We delve into the experiences that test our resilience and I'll share 5 Key Strategies to help manage change, by employing strategies like positive thinking that can steer us toward empowerment. By sharing the lessons I've gleaned from my own trials, including the profound personal losses, I hope to light a path for you to perceive change not as an adversary, but as a gateway to self-discovery and innovation.
     
    This conversation is more than just a narrative of adaptation; it's a testament to the strength that comes from embracing the unpredictable. Join me as we examine the positive outcomes that can arise when we engage change with a growth mindset, focus on what we control, and cultivate adaptability. We'll unpack the concept that life's unforeseen changes are not merely happenstance, but rather opportunities designed for our benefit. My goal is for you to feel equipped and inspired to confront the unforeseen with optimism, and to recognize that your story of change can indeed be a victorious journey of personal evolution.

    Episode #165 - Life is hard... as it should be! - REBOOT #118

    Episode Notes: 
    This week, we’re resharing an episode from last year, as I reflect on my own experiences and revisit a pivotal episode from March 2023, I invite you to consider a new perspective on the obstacles that shape us.
    Diving deep on why life should be hard instead of looking for the “easy” button. In our everyday lives, experiencing challenges and hardships can lead to greater personal growth and satisfaction… a few examples are: 

        ✅ Hardship builds resilience.
        ✅ Difficulty leads to growth.
        ✅ Struggle gives us a sense of purpose.
        ✅ Overcoming obstacles builds confidence.
    Whether it's starting or running a business, getting in shape, or retaining control of your emotions, life can be hard. But it's those challenges that often lead to the greatest rewards. Join us as we discuss the benefits of facing difficulty head-on. So, buckle up for a mental tune-up that promises to enhance your quality of life and propel you toward next-level growth.

    Episode #164- OEM repairs... with Stem Cells?

    Episode #164- OEM repairs... with Stem Cells?

    Episode Notes: 
    Have you spent your career bending, lifting, and grinding away in the collision & auto repair industry for years, only to find your body paying the steep price of demanding physical labor?
    That's exactly what happened to me as I struggled with joint pain and the daunting prospect of inevitable surgery. But then, a breakthrough: I stumbled upon some education on the transformative power of regenerative medicine. Join me on this episode, as I pull back the curtain & reveal my candid tale of skepticism, discovery, and the early success of stem cell therapy, a journey that might just challenge everything you thought you knew about managing pain and recovering from injury.

    Could it really be possible to do OEM repairs on our own bodies too?
     
     Through the lens of my own experience and the revolutionary insights of Tony Robbins' "Life Force," we'll explore the brave new world of alternative health options. From the crossroads of making tough health decisions to the thrill of witnessing the regenerative capabilities of stem cell treatments, this episode is an eye-opener for anyone in the auto repair industry—or any trade—suffering the physical consequences of their labor. More than just a story, it's a call to action: to weigh the risks, listen to your intuition, and consider how embracing the cutting edge of medical science could lead to a more vibrant, pain-free existence, without going under the knife!

    Episode #163 - Stop Selling & Start Connecting - w/T. Harv Eker

    Episode #163 - Stop Selling & Start Connecting - w/T. Harv Eker

    Episode Notes: 
    Ever walked away from a sales pitch feeling nothing but relief at the escape? 
    That moment when a salesperson jumps into their spiel without understanding you is precisely what we're turning on its head. This episode we harness the magic of emotional connections to revolutionize the sales process. With over 30 years in the sales trenches, I'm sharing the secrets to building trust and fostering genuine relationships that not only boost sales but can bloom into lasting friendships. 
    I’ll share the wisdom of wealth & motivational speaker T. Harv Eker, the author of Secrets of the Millionaire Mind as he reveals why it's crucial to do business with people who earn our trust, and why liking them makes all the difference.

    T. Harv Eker shares an enlightening story about “Lenny”, a business owner who mastered the art of personal connection without even mentioning his products. It's a masterclass in rapport-building that led to an incredible success rate, and it's something any salesperson or entrepreneur can replicate. 
    We also touch on top strategies by marketing gurus like Tony Robbins, emphasizing the sale of benefits and credibility over the product itself. The ultimate goal of this episode is, you'll walk away with actionable insights and the inspiration to inject heartfelt sincerity into your business interactions… to stop selling & start connecting… paving the way for more growth and quality connections!
