Let’s dive in!

This week Rhydon Atzenhoffer welcomes the Executive Director of the Skilled Careers Coalition, Mark Hedstrom, to the HVAC R&D Podcast.

The two discuss the ‘Gen Z toolbelt generation,’ the silver tsunami of retiring tradespeople, and how mentorships and programs like Skills Jam are shaping the future of recruitment and support for the skilled trades. 

Other topics include mental health for the trades, the lack of guidance about skilled careers to those guiding our next generation and what trade Mark would master if he could pick just one.

Welcome back to the HVAC Zoomies Podcast, your favorite bonus show from HVAC R&D, as Rhydon and Rachael get into the fifth week of the 2025 Formula 1 season.

It's race week four of the 2025 Formula 1 season already and after three rounds it looks like it is already shaping up to be a Max Verstappen vs McLaren for the Drivers championship.

Rhydon and Rachael break down last week's results and get their bold predictions on the board for the coming weekend and enjoy some great HVAC banter along the way.

A dominant controlling performance by Max at Suzuka in the Lenovo Japanese Grand Prix see's the four time World Champion only a single point adrift from this season's favored champion to win it all, Lando Norris.

However, there is proving to be no lack of fight or desire in Verstappen to push for his fifth in a row, and that is just the way we like it.

Now it is time to head back to Bahrain. The home of pre-season testing this year, Bahrain had been the first race on the calendar for the last number of years but now it will be interesting to see who returns to the Arabian track with the best set up after several races to adjust their set ups.

Red Bull are hoping to see Yuki Tsunoda find his performance quick as McLaren and Mercedes are already looking to take a commanding lead in the top two places of the Constructors Championship.

Meanwhile Lando and Oscar Piastri will be heavily favored to come out on top at this high speed track and will hope they can return to the top of the podium and keep a determined Max at bay.

Mercedes will be looking to sneak onto the podium, while Ferrari will be looking to bounce back after a disappointing start to the campaign.

Enjoy the show and here is to another great Grand Prix!

This week Rhydon Atzenhoffer welcomes third generation Tradeswoman and professional marketing bestseller, Amber Gaige, to the HVAC R&D Podcast.

Amber helped to grow her family's plumbing business where she was put into the position to "start" a marketing company, that launched her into her career passion of supporting businesses with their branding and growth strategies.

Having built something with her family, Amber transitioned to the corporate world where she honed her craft to then return to her roots and found her own firm, Far Beyond Marketing.

This spirited woman from Texas has a great story and an even better personality and I am happy she shared her journey with the #TradeCrew.

Welcome back to episode three of the HVAC Zoomies Podcast, a bonus show produced by HVAC R&D! 

Rhydon and Rachael are pumped to be back for another discussion as they break down some hot topics in the HVAC world to open the show, and then they get to the 2025 Chinese Sprint and Grand Prix results while evaluating their current bold prediction standings for the season.

Red Bull has made the first major move of the calendar year by dropping Liam Lawson back to Racing Bulls and promoting Honda backed Japanese driver Yuki Tsunoda to the second Red Bull seat alongside of Max Verstappen for the upcoming Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka.

Will Oscar Piastri continue to assert his recent dominance at the front of the pack or will Max or Lando Norris spoil his dreams under the cherry blossoms this coming weekend?

Tune in for our bold predictions and banter ahead of this weekend's action in Japan.

Rhydon and Rachael are back this week for the second installment of the HVAC Zoomies Podcast, an HVAC R and D Podcast Bonus Production, and they could not have asked for a more chaotic season opener to discuss after the Louis Vuitton Australian Grand Prix last weekend.

With the Formula 1 teams immediately off to China for the 2025 Heineken Chinese Grand Prix, Rhydon and Rach get right into their predictions for the weekend following Lewis Hamilton's first head turning Ferrari performance.
