In this episode of The All Access Podcast from Dent Repair Now, Gene gets real about discipline, consistency, and showing up even when motivation is nowhere to be found. With MTE right around the corner, he also dives into a deep tool breakdown featuring brand-new releases, updates, and problem-solvers every serious PDR tech should know about. Gene shares behind-the-scenes thoughts on sticking to weekly podcast commitments, why discipline always beats motivation, and how small daily actions compound into real progress — in business, content creation, and repair work. The second half of the episode shifts into full tool-nerd mode, covering new and updated tools from some of the most respected names in the industry, plus a few surprises you’ll want to see in person at MTE.
