Powder Coater Podcast

Trailer: Episode 60

Does the new world order have a secret agenda against small business? Today first time guest & host of Coatings Talk, Jim Kunkle & I give context to my special interview with Tom Tucker of autocare.org. ..back in Nov while I was at SEMA in Las Vegas. I've been hanging on to this recording for months waiting for the perfect time to shed some light & bring awareness to a movement in your state & local legislatures that could bring sweeping changes to the aftermarket auto parts industry but also repair businesses that you use everyday. How will this affect  coatings & restoration? Is the future as bleak as we imagine or is this the dawn of a new industrial age?  There is more than just freedom at stake here & now’s not the time to stand idle. Let’s unravel what the technocrats of the world really want from us. Get ready to level up your powder coater game!
