BoothTalk Podcast

Welcome back folks!   After a long hiatus, I came across something that hit home with me and I feel that everyone needs to hear.  So, I hopped on a Zoom Meeting and we got it recorded.   Take a listen to what the Hatcher Foundation is and what they're doing for kids going through medical problems.  As well as how they're going to help by building a couple of Factory Five cars.

Meghan is one of my longtime listeners and supporters.  From the Great White North Canada, She has had a longtime interest in everything automotive since she was a child.  Starting originally turning wrenches, a chance meeting and conversation got her wheels turning about doing paintwork.  A connoisseur of anything Bullitt related(especially the color), Sata enthusiast, and a love for cars with power, join in this conversation to learn a little bit about Meg, how things are done in Canada, being a female in a male dominated industry, finding her niche, the future, and more.

Kevin Tetz joins us on the live feed to talk about the importance of educating techs.  He has spent many years teaching people how to paint and their way around a bodyshop with his Paintucation series.  Now, he has developed an online course, Paintucation University.   Check it out!

Most don't know, but I was going after a career in music prior to getting into the auto industry. Music was a huge part of my life and in many aspects, WAS my life.  Bands, singing, guitars, my life.    I started following Jay(@jncolor) shortly after he got on Instagram and was drawn in because I knew exactly what the Fender Custom Shop was capable of.  It was great to be able to see a "behind the scenes" view that he provides.    Hear how the instrument world gets refinished, some of the cool projects he's been a part of, and check out Fender Guitars!   follow Jay on Instagram @jncolor myself @boothtalk_jeremy   join the livestream @boothtalk_pod
