    A Kept Promise Leads to Massive Breakthrough with Tristan Realubit

    A Kept Promise Leads to Massive Breakthrough with Tristan Realubit

    Some moments seem pretty insignificant, but later, we realize they were a landmark in our lives, a moment that sparked the change that set us on a course that would forever change our lives. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that these moments tend to happen to us when the pressure is on, when our back is against the call, or when we are at a crossroads --- especially in our businesses. Today’s guest is Tristan Realubit, owner of Real Autohous, with multiple locations in the Chicago area. One of these moments for Tristan was a promise he made to his mom many years ago. In this episode, you’ll hear the amazing aftermath of and how that moment forever changed his life, his family, his company, and countless others. This is one of those stories that will impact your heart as much as your head. Stay tuned.

    Becoming Unrecognizable with Darren Adams

    Becoming Unrecognizable with Darren Adams

    Today, we're diving deep into the transformative power of personal development. Personal development isn't just about reading a specific book, attending a seminar, or doing a few workouts -- it's about fundamentally altering how you perceive yourself and your potential. This week's guest is Darren Adams, owner of Dryfork Diesel in Missouri. Years ago, Darren found himself heartbreakingly stuck with a broken body, limiting beliefs, and an underperforming shop. In this episode, he’ll share his wild journey of self-discovery and doing the HARD work to transform himself in mind, body, and spirit to become absolutely unrecognizable from his previous self, truly becoming the beast-mode version of himself who serve his family, shop, and community in ways he never thought possible. Change is hard, but staying stuck is harder. Choose your hard.

    Quick Clue: Is Your Car Count Being Manipulated? With Thomas Hays

    Quick Clue: Is Your Car Count Being Manipulated? With Thomas Hays

    We are going to try something new!
    As you know, each month, we interview some incredible folks in our industry in long-form interviews. We've been so honored by your support for the show, and are truly grateful. This week Thomas is introducing a new will be new mini-series called “Quick Clues”. The episodes will be about 5 min long… no guests, no dramatic intro, and no editing, it’s just you, Thomas, and his microphone. The goal is to give you something to think about, something to share with your team, something that can help you improve in specific areas, and most of all, be encouraged. So, we’ll try this out for a bit, and see how it works out. Perhaps make it a regular part of the podcast. Do us a favor and send us an email if you like this (or hate it) to Thomas@SLCAutoPodcast.com… Also, just to confirm, We will still be posting full-length episodes like always, 2x a month.
    This week's Quick Clue: Is Your Car Count Being Manipulated?
    Car count (or lack thereof) is a big topic right now. Your ability to analyze the specifics of your car count is CRITICAL to being able to grow your car count. In this episode, Thomas will break down how to tell if your shop is meeting marketing demand, or if it's being artificially held back.

    How Humanizing Your Metrics and Data is a Cheat Code for Your Shop with Mike Difato

    How Humanizing Your Metrics and Data is a Cheat Code for Your Shop with Mike Difato

    So often, when we think about our numbers, metrics, and KPI's we get caught up in the "facts" we learn from these, creating a very rigid interpretation of them. Curiosity goes out the window, and we bulldoze our team with what we think is the problem. We forget that making stark assumptions often leads to flawed conclusions and our team's confusion and frustration. This week's guest is Mike Difato, Owner of three successful auto and boat repair brands with six locations across FL. An early experience in Mike's career in corporate America forever shaped how he uses data and allowed him to unlock an absolute cheat code to build a better team and an incredible shop. He also brings other powerful insights on a few other topics to help you further level up your leadership skills.

    This Episode is for the Techs with Lowell Greene and Phil Quillen

    This Episode is for the Techs with Lowell Greene and Phil Quillen

    This one’s for the techs. Without you, our world would look very different: Parents wouldn’t be able to make it to their kid's games, food wouldn’t make it to stores, and the world as we know it wouldn’t exist. Yet despite this, historically, your role hasn’t been appropriately respected or appreciated. The good news is that there is a massive movement to change this from organizations that want to find and train the next generation, change public opinion, and help techs build a lucrative future. My guests today are Lowell Greene of TechFix and Phil Quielln, Company Forman of EuroFix, AutoFix, and Mike’s Auto in TN. In this episode, we give an insider's perspective, covering topics few are willing to discuss --- the good, bad, and downright ugly. We hope it inspires you and encourages you. Technicians, thank you for all you do.
