**🎙️ Podcast Show Notes:

Join me in this week’s Mind Wrench Podcast, as we tackle a truth that’s both simple and game-changing: your attitude sets the course of your life. Most people nod at that idea—but few actually practice it. Between daily fires, customer stress, and repair deadlines, it’s easy to let circumstances run the show. But when you learn to choose your attitude instead of reacting to everything around you, you regain the control that stress usually steals.

Through stories, science, and some real talk from the collision repair world, we break down how small shifts in mindset can totally change your energy, your leadership, and your shop’s culture. 

I’ll share a standout story from the late Keith Harrell drives it home: after sprinting through an airport to catch a delayed flight, he chooses calm over chaos. While another passenger melts down, he reads, eats, calls his grandmother, and boards relaxed. Same flight, same delay—completely different experience. That’s the power of attitude as strategy!

We also explore real tools to train your mindset like a muscle. Quick affirmations like “I choose my response” can interrupt negativity spirals, while micro-rituals—like a walk, water break, or short call with a positive friend—help you reset faster and lead stronger.

Finally, we come back to Charles Swindoll’s timeless reminder: “life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react”. In this business, where chaos can hit before the first cup of coffee, that ratio might even be generous. So, ask yourself—what can I do now that helps later? Who can I be proud of being right now? That’s where real power starts.

3️⃣🔑Takeaways:

✅Attitude is a choice, not a reaction—and it’s your greatest tool for influence and calm.

✅Micro-rituals rebuild control fast, turning stressful moments into leadership wins.

✅Your response shapes your results—every day, every customer, every challenge.
