In this special interview with Carm Capriotto, podcaster and revered automotive industry leader, we dive deep into his mission to reshape the language of the automotive field. 

Carm shares how a simple idea sparked by a TV show turned into a labor of love that he's been passionate about for the last couple years. 

His goal? To elevate the title of one of, if not the most important, roles by shifting the industry's language from "technicians" to "mechanical specialists," in order to hold the profession in the highest regard. But that's just the start. A title shift brings a mindset shift, and a mindset shift brings the rise of the specialist.

Tune in for an inspiring conversation about leadership, self-development, and changing the way we perceive and approach the work we do.
