Episode 88 - Gene's Back to the Future joke included. He and the team leave in a couple of days for PDR Expo, which he says feels like old-school MTE: you can slow down, sit and talk with friends, and not feel like you missed everybody. Roundtable Friday morning with a stage full of knowledge Saturday: two-part cold glue class - classroom talk first, then live demos pulling people up from the audience If you have not bought tickets yet, what are you waiting for? 02:00 - Shout-outs Eric, the Bearded Dent Guy - Gene picked up some gear from him this week and is wearing the hat Hat tip to the Ginger Bros, specifically Brandon Schmitz and his wife Mandy. The industry is stepping up to help them; Gene encourages listeners to check out Brandon's social media and lend a hand if they can 03:00 - Topic: mentorship A 10-year technician came in for a class this week. Good tech, but like so many of us, he went through training and then spent his career trying to figure it out. He told Gene, "You've got this." Gene's answer: he spent 14 years (2002 to 2016) not having it figured out - and is not claiming to have it all figured out now. These are just dent guy problems and we all have to solve the same stuff. 04:00 - Keith Cosentino and the 12-week program Gene and Keith connected on doring.com, saw each other at MTE, and Gene is a big fan of the PDR College podcast When Keith announced business coaching, Gene signed up - he thinks it was a 12-week program Gene calls it perhaps the most formative 12 weeks of his career. Not so much on the physical repair side - on the business side and the life side; it changed a lot of his processes Big takeaway: you can beat your head against the wall, or you can find a mentor and buy your way into knowledge He says he would not have made it into the shop with employees without Keith. Hiring Jennifer to answer the phones and take phone work off his plate was 'priceless' 06:00 - Elite performers have coaches Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan both leaned on coaches. If the elite still rely on coaches to improve and stay sharp, why aren't more of us investing in ourselves? Gene recalls a conversation with a friend, Dave: in PDR you go to school, maybe have a mentor for a while, and then you get kicked out of the nest to figure it out on your own. 07:30 - The student who had never used a shrinky box The class was all physical skills. The student had never seen or used a shrinky box Shrinky boxes have been out about 8-10 years (Gene bought his around '17-'18) and many techs still do not know how to use them; most do not come with instructions Gene credits the Black Plague box for shipping with instructions, and thanks Keith for putting one out there that works so well Glue pull: on nearly identical damage the student needed about 12 pulls to Gene's one. After Gene showed his technique, the next dent took a couple of pulls instead of a dozen 09:00 - Training options at every level You do not have to pay for advanced training - but you do need to know you can be better and faster. Gene names a range of places to learn: Advanced training: a week with Bryce, or a day or two with Gene or Matt Boyett Hail: a program from 'Jean' called Hail Pro, packed with the tips he uses to be an efficient hail tech. Gene says the guy shuts shops down because everyone wonders how he moves so fast, and a friend said he is like having three really good hail techs in one Myke Toledo's Dent Trainer - tons of tutorials Advanced Skills Seminar - Gene has been to all but two. The last one, at Anson, may have been the best yet; he learned a lot watching how Bryce worked. Not sure Keith and Chad will bring it back. Skipped: the first one, and the one at Corey Kleinfeld's shop in Sacramento Business coaching: Gene's own coach Becky, who was in Pittsburgh for years, has hung it up and is splitting time between Florida and Pittsburgh - so he needs to find a new business coach 12:00 - Discussion: are you investing in yourself? Gene thanks everyone who texts about the topic of the week - it is why he does the podcast. The question for the week: are you investing in yourself and learning, and if not, what's holding you back? PDR pays so well that it is easy to think we are better at business than we actually are, and get lulled to sleep You can make more in a day and work fewer hours by building skills - physical, and business (sales, marketing, advertising, bookkeeping, finance) The trade gives us a really big shovel (Dave Ramsey line) to make big moves when we are smart about it 14:00 - The rant, and the moral Gene calls it a ranty episode, but only because he cares. He wants more people to make the changes he sees in his students and mentees - and is not saying they have to come to him. Some conversations have changed people's outlook on business and life, how they run their shop, brought more money through the door, and gotten rid of their head trash. Moral ...
