Owners Prioritizing Profit Over Human Capital - A Conversation With Jim Cokonis

Hey everyone! Jeff here, and I am thrilled to announce the release of our latest episode of the Jaded Mechanic podcast. 

This one is a real gem, filled with thought-provoking insights and reflections on the joys and challenges of a career in automotive repair. ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’ญ
In this episode, we dive deep into the topic of self-awareness and humility. 

We discuss how sometimes people think they are better or know more than they actually do, and how reality has a way of humbling us all. As instructors, we've all encountered those individuals in class who try to dominate the conversation and showcase their vast knowledge. We explore the delicate balance of handling such situations without embarrassing anyone. It's a valuable lesson for both teachers and students alike. ๐Ÿ“š

One of the highlights of this episode is when I share a personal story about challenging the status quo. We talk about a time when a seasoned mechanic who insisted on doing things the same old way was confronted. With a touch of humor, we explain a younger mechanic was a catalyst for change. It's a reminder that growth and progress often come from questioning the familiar and embracing new perspectives. ๐Ÿ”„

Lastly, we touch upon the importance of creating a learning environment in the shop. We discuss the benefits of fostering a culture of continuous learning and how it can positively impact both individual mechanics and the industry as a whole. It's an inspiring conversation that reminds us all of the power of knowledge and the value of investing in our own growth. ๐Ÿ“–โœจ

So, grab your favorite beverage, whether it's a strong cup of coffee or a cold Canadian beer, and settle in for an engaging and enlightening discussion. I promise you won't be disappointed! And don't forget to like, comment, and share this episode to spread the word. Let's build a community of passionate automotive enthusiasts who are eager to learn and grow together. ๐Ÿš€

As always, I want to express my gratitude to our amazing guests for sharing their expertise and perspectives. And a special shoutout to our partners, the Changing the Industry podcast for their support and collaboration. Together, we can make a difference and drive positive change in our beloved industry. ๐Ÿค

Remember, in this industry, you truly get what you pay for. So let's strive for excellence, keep searching for that elusive 10 millimeter, and I'll see you all next time for another exciting journey of change. Stay tuned! ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ๐Ÿ”ง
