Good stuff....

Great podcast, guys! As an industry member, I love hearing the stories from where you got your start(s), all of the back-in-the-day shenanigans, and insight into how things are going today. Such a fun listen, I look forward to each episode, and keep checking back hoping to find a new one to listen to, haha. Keep up the good work, gentleman.

Refreshing

Great to listen to industry leaders’ life stories of success. I’m a 25 year veteran who is ready to give up on the industry and change careers because I’m surrounded by a sea of horrible technicians who flat out don’t care. It’s refreshing to listen to top notch techs who take great pride in what they do. Keep it up!!
