🎙️ Exciting News! 🎙️

Hey everyone! I am thrilled to announce the release of our latest episode of the Jaded Mechanic Podcast! 

🚗💥 This episode is filled with thought-provoking insights and reflections on the toils and triumphs of a career in automotive repair. So grab yourself a strong coffee or a cold Canadian beer, and get ready for some great conversation! 🍻☕


Here are three key takeaways from this episode that I wanted to share with you:


1:The importance of treating techs appropriately: In the first section of the episode, we discuss a common issue in the industry - the high turnover rate of technicians. We question whether it would be easier and more cost-effective for companies to simply treat their techs appropriately from the start, rather than resorting to bribing them to recruit new talent. This raises important questions about the value of fair treatment and its impact on job satisfaction and retention.

2:Perspectives on leaving a long career: In the second section, I share my personal experience of leaving a 27-year career as a professional automotive mechanic. I have absolutely no regrets about this decision, and I delve into the reasons behind it. This discussion offers a unique perspective on the challenges and rewards of transitioning from a long-established career to something new.


3:The power of connection and understanding: The final section of the episode focuses on the importance of connecting with others who share similar experiences and perspectives. We explore how listening to different viewpoints, even those we may not agree with, can be enriching and enjoyable. This segment reminds us of the power of empathy and finding common ground, even with people we may never meet in person.

I hope these takeaways pique your interest and inspire you to listen to the full episode. 🎧 Remember, your support means the world to us, so please take a moment to comment on and share this episode.
