Grant Baker started with nothing - biking to sales meetings and hiding the bike around the corner so clients wouldn't know he couldn't afford a car.He'd go on to build and sell some of New Zealand's best-known companies: 42 Below vodka (sold to Bacardi for $138M), skincare giant Trilogy, and the automotive empire now known as Turners.In this episode he tells the full story of going all in - selling everything he owned to bet on one company, the years of "drinking from a fire hose," the midnight deals that nearly sent him broke, and facing a cancer diagnosis at the height of it all.He reflects on his mentor Eric Watson, his partnership with Geoff Ross building 42 Below, why he believes the real key to success is how much pain you can endure, and how he came to back Kiwi driver Liam Lawson's rise to Formula One.Now a Ferrari collector - 50 and counting - Grant shares hard-won lessons on ambition, resilience, giving back, and why you should never die wondering.Between Two Beers is proudly brought to you by One New Zealand.

Attilio Guidetti has gone from automotive school and race-team work in Bologna to leading Ducati service operations across 15 Asia-Pacific markets. Along the way, he's worked as a technician, service advisor, international trainer, business owner, and aftersales leader.In this episode, we discuss why skilled technicians can still struggle inside poorly managed shops, why customer experience and profitability must work together, and why service improvement has to begin with ownership, leadership, clear expectations, and meaningful KPIs.Attilio also shares how he learned English in three months to earn an international training opportunity, why technicians should begin developing for their next role before they feel ready, and what it actually takes to move from the workshop into management.This conversation is for technicians, foremen, service advisors, service managers, fixed operations leaders, and shop owners who want to build stronger careers, teams, and businesses.Subscribe to the Wrench Turners Podcast for conversations designed to help technicians live happier, healthier, more productive lives.Negative Pushes.Positive Pulls.God Bless.j.Follow Attiliohttps://www.linkedin.com/in/service-manager/⚠️ Disclaimer:I'm a licensed mechanic.

Parts can make or break the rhythm of a service department.In this episode of The Wrench Turners Podcast, Shawn Parrett joins me to talk about the real life of the parts counter, how parts leaders support technicians, and why communication between parts, advisors, and the shop matters more than most dealerships admit.Shawn has nearly 30 years in automotive parts, from wholesale parts to parts manager, and he brings a direct message for technicians, advisors, parts people, and fixed ops leaders:Always have an answer.We talk about obsolescence, lost sales, inventory decisions, technician trust, service advisor communication, leadership, humility, consistency, and why the best parts departments remove friction instead of creating it.This episode is for anyone in dealership fixed operations who wants the shop, parts counter, and service drive to work better together.

Sometimes it means stepping back inside your own workplace with a fresh lens, watching one person at a time, and letting the senses find patterns that meetings, dashboards, and authority miss.

This week, Scheana welcomes back her friend & VPR castmate Tom Schwartz for a conversation that's equal parts hilarious, nostalgic, and unexpectedly heartfelt. The two look back on nearly 20 years of friendship, from the chaos of “Vanderpump Rules” to life after Bravo, and dive into everything happening on “The Valley.” Tom opens up about his relationship with Kiana, where things stand with Katie after their divorce, and why he's approaching friendships—and boundaries—very differently these days. They also tackle the hot topics surrounding his friends Jax and Sandoval, debate the biggest pot stirrers and peacemakers on “The Valley,” and Tom reveals who he believes is the season's most misunderstood cast member, a pick Scheana calls a major hot take. Plus, hear behind-the-scenes stories from iconic Bravo moments, the last truly happy VPR cast trip, and the meme that still cracks Schwartz up every time he sees it. As always, things wrap up with the Jax-hole and Flowers of the Week, and trust us, you won't look at "turtle turners" the same way again.

In this special panel episode of Wrench Turners Podcast, we sit down with Dale Pettigrew and Nicholas Martin, two former technicians who moved into OEM technical support, to talk about what actually makes a support case easier or harder to solve.This conversation gets into the stuff technicians deal with every day: vague repair orders, skipped diagnostic steps, intermittent concerns, “no fault found” visits, missing values, customer descriptions, communication gaps, and the pressure to fix complex problems quickly.Dale and Nicholas explain why “all good” isn't good enough, why exact numbers matter, why documentation can protect you years later, and why tech support isn't there to fix the car for you. They're there to help you build the process, ask better questions, and become stronger at diagnosing the hard stuff.This one is for technicians, advisors, shop foremen, service managers, warranty admins, and anyone who wants to understand how to get better answers from technical support.Negative Pushes.

Tanner Neal didn't grow up dreaming about a career in automotive.In fact, cars weren't really on his radar.His path started with necessity. From damage appraisals across West Texas to becoming a service advisor with $3.5 million in gross sales and a top-rated CSI, to now leading fixed operations at a luxury store, Tanner's story is a reminder that automotive can become a career path for people who are willing to work, listen, communicate, and keep growing.In this episode of The Wrench Turners Podcast, Tanner Neal shares what he learned moving from the appraisal side of the business into the service drive, why communication is the real skill behind great advising, how advisors can build trust without over-talking, and what technicians can do to protect their body, mind, money, and career longevity.We also get into the relationship between advisors and technicians, how poor communication creates chaos in the shop, why service advisors need to listen more than they speak, and why the best fixed ops leaders understand both the customer and the technician experience.This episode is for technicians, service advisors, shop foremen, service managers, and fixed ops leaders who care about getting better at the people side of the business.Negative pushes.Positive pulls.Always clean your toys before you put them away.j.Find Tanner:LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/tannerneal1⚠️ Disclaimer:I'm a licensed mechanic.

In this series, Angela Finlay presses Mark on Bold Immersion: getting close enough to clients, users, employees, patients, workflows, and actual places to see what meetings, reports, AI, dashboards, and assumptions often miss.Opening SummaryFormer guest Angela Finlay reverses roles and interviews Mark about Bold Immersion, the practice he names as the strongest predictor of better client outcomes, stronger financial impact, and deeper passion at work. Angela begins with Harvard Business Review's “false alignment” problem: leaders meet, discuss Artificial Intelligence, strategy, and customer needs, then leave seeing different parts of the elephant.Core ValueBold Immersion means entering the real world of the person you serve before you decide what to build, sell, fix, lead, or automate. Mark connects it to customer journey mapping, in-home observation, ride-alongs, product ethnography, contextual inquiry, Voice of the Customer, workflow observation, Human-Centered Design, Design Thinking, Lean improvement, product development, field marketing, and customer experience. The deeper move is simple: replace secondhand confidence with firsthand reality.Inside This Episode• Why false alignment can be more dangerous than visible disagreement.• How Chad Wells used Medicare customer journey mapping and ride-alongs at UnitedHealth Group.• Why camera crews, kitchens, old books, artifacts, and a cat revealed hidden customer context.• How Queens and Bronx sales-agent ride-alongs changed what marketing needed to build.• Why Bold Immersion belongs in ordinary workflows, not only innovation, UX, Lean, or product roles.Go Deeper — Premium Action PlanThis four-part Table Turners series culminates in Mark's Premium Action Plan. Begin this week by selecting one customer, employee, user, patient, beneficiary, prospect, agent, partner, or internal customer whose reality you have only experienced secondhand.

In this series, Angela Finlay presses Mark on Bold Immersion: getting close enough to clients, users, employees, patients, workflows, and actual places to see what meetings, reports, AI, dashboards, and assumptions often miss.The GistAngela Finlay asks why Bold Immersion is BOLD and why smart leaders still avoid it. Mark turns BOLD into brave, outstanding, lit, and determined, then names the costly paradox: people say they lack time to understand the customers, prospects, employees, and coworkers they are trying to serve.Core ValuePart 2 moves from definition to proof. Bold Immersion is not wordplay. It is the discipline of leaving the meeting, entering the real place, and using sight, context, emotion, curiosity, and evidence to find what talk alone hides. Mark connects it to customer journey work, contextual inquiry, Voice of the Customer, UX research, Human-Centered Design, Lean, continuous product discovery, field marketing, customer experience, and AI-era decision making.Inside This Episode• Why “I don't have time to understand the customer” weakens products, service, operations, and careers.• How a medical machine, desk weights, a two-page email, and a 300-character field exposed a 10-year workflow failure.• Why Steve McCurry's Afghan Girl photo, Marty Cooper's cell-phone insight, and a lost shoe point to one Show-Me discipline.• How Bold Immersion creates 12x odds of client delight and 17x odds of work passion.• Why Ragnar, truck-driver ride-alongs, Febreze, Evenflo, and continuous product discovery widen the proof.Go Deeper — Premium Action PlanThis Table Turners series culminates in Mark's Premium Action Plan. Start this week with one Missouri moment. Choose one person you serve, inside or outside your company, and ask them to show you the space, screen, workflow, route, handoff, report, tool, delay, or obstacle. Do not solve first. Look long enough to find what meetings, dashboards, surveys, reports, or AI would have missed.Listen + Connecthttps://www.BoldEncounters.TVAngela Finlayhttps://www.windwardhcm.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ablumfinlay/Mark S. Cookhttps://www.WindfallPartners.comMoments To Revisit• Joe's cube, where people talked until Mark looked under the desk.• Angela naming curiosity as the trait that asks, “Show it to me.”• Steve McCurry telling business people to take a thousand visual shots.• Marty Cooper shadowing airport and HVAC workers before skipping the car phone.• Ragnar moving merchandise into the flow of the race and raising revenue per head.Final ThoughtPart 2 reveals that great work does not usually come from smarter talk. It comes from better contact with reality. The professional who goes to the place, sees the angles, feels the human problem, and asks to be shown earns a kind of comprehension that meetings cannot create and AI cannot hand over.What Now?Watch Part 2, then continue the Table Turners Bold Immersion series at:https://www.BoldEncounters.TVThank YouAngela Finlay, Steve McCurry, Martin “Marty” Cooper, Ragnar, Febreze, Evenflo, Diego Rodriguez, and National GeographicCalvin Cook Music (also of Caljo), original music, @CalCookMusicAliyah Peña, Post Production, aliyahmpena@gmail.comSkyler Maudsley, Video Editing, skylermaudsley@gmail.comRosalie McGinn, Social Media, rosalie.mcginn1@gmail.com

Kelli Verdi joins The Wrench Turners Podcast for a conversation about faith, family, automotive, customer trust, dealership culture, and why care is never just a soft skill.Kelli's story starts long before her career in automotive marketing. Her grandfather owned an automotive repair shop in Tampa, and without realizing it at the time, she was learning some of the most important lessons in the industry: how to treat people, how to earn trust, and how much the smallest details matter.That idea became one of the biggest lines from this episode:“Care levels become culture levels.”We talk about how that applies inside dealerships, service departments, websites, customer experiences, technician leadership, and even vendor relationships. From Google Analytics and dealership websites to service scheduling, reviews, AI search, OEM programs, and real conversations with people on the ground, Kelli brings a rare mix of marketing intelligence, automotive experience, and genuine human care.This episode also goes deeper than business. We talk about faith, burnout, leadership, personal loss, and the importance of taking care of yourself before you try to keep pouring into everyone else.In this episode, we cover:Kelli's early connection to automotive through her grandfather's repair shopWhy trust is built through tiny detailsHow care levels become culture levelsWhat dealership websites get wrong about customer experienceWhy service departments need better contentHow technicians and service leaders can help build trust before the customer arrivesWhy AI search and website content matter more than everHow Team MXS is approaching automotive website visibilityWhy taking care of yourself matters in this industryThe role faith has played in Kelli's storyThis is a conversation for technicians, advisors, service managers, fixed ops leaders, vendors, marketers, and anyone who still believes this industry is about people first.Follow Kelli:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelliverdi/Team MXSLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/team-mxs/postsWebsite: https://www.teammxs.comPhone: 1-866-665-4669Subscribe to The Wrench Turners Podcast for real conversations with technicians, shop foremen, service leaders, trainers, and automotive professionals who are working to make this trade healthier, happier, and more productive.Negative pushes.Positive pulls.God Blessj.⚠️ Disclaimer:I'm a licensed mechanic.

What actually happens when a great technician becomes a shop foreman?In this episode of The Wrench Turners Podcast, I sit down with Mike Ramirez and Aaron Marion, two experienced shop foremen, to talk about the real work of leading technicians on the shop floor.This conversation goes far beyond diagnostics, flat rate, and fixing cars.Mike talks about going from a producing technician to a shop multiplier, helping other techs remove bottlenecks, make more hours, and work better as a team. Aaron shares what it's like leading inside a high-end Porsche environment, why mentorship still matters years into the trade, and why no technician should ever believe they've learned everything.The episode digs into:How mentors build technicians without doing the work for themWhy shop foremen need to document their processesHow team chemistry changes the entire shopWhy reputation matters more than most technicians realizeHow ego can limit growth in the automotive industryWhy personal finances affect technician happiness and performanceWhat real shop leadership looks like when the car, the customer, or the team is strugglingThis is a conversation for technicians, shop foremen, service managers, fixed operations directors, and anyone who cares about building better leaders inside automotive service departments.Because the best tool in the shop is still a good leader.Negative PushesPositive PullsGod Blessj.Find Mike:LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-ramirez-1782152a/Find Aaron:LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-marion-257b18231/⚠️ Disclaimer:I'm a licensed mechanic.

Yesterday, it was confirmed that Galway United's upcoming Premier Division game with Dundalk will be held at Turners Cross in Cork on Friday evening.  The game was origionally scheduled for Pearse Stadium as Eamon Deacy Park is undergoing ground works.  However, this was not possible following the draw for the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Round 2A  which sees Galway take on Westmeath on Sunday afternoon at the same venue.  The decision to hold the game at Turners Cross has led to angry reactions by supporters from both clubs.  Galway United Manager John Caulfield spoke to John Mulligan about the decision to hold the game in Cork. 

So the 10 Mill lads took over.In this episode of 10 Mill Mastery, Marshall Sheldon, Richard Mueller, John Baranski, and the mysterious camera off Josh Arnold sit down for a real technician panel about what's actually happening inside shops right now.This one goes everywhere.Passwords that change constantly.Scan tools that need updates before you can even work.Videos and photos are becoming part of every repair.Warranty documentation.Hot shops.Young techs are hitting the six-hour wall.Energy drinks, bad lunches, mental fatigue, and the difference between being lazy and learning how to work.Then the conversation turns into something bigger.How do you lead apprentices without crushing them?How do you coach a tech who's stuck in diagnostic circles?How do you build shop culture without turning “roasting” into damage?How much direction does an owner actually need to give their leaders?And when does a job stop being worth the money?Marshall keeps the conversation moving from the field service side.Richard brings the structured dealership leadership perspective.John brings the boat world, the faith, the chaos, and the big picture questions.Josh Arnold stays hidden like a mystery dude in witness protection, but still drops the kind of quiet Subaru tech wisdom that makes everyone stop and listen.No polished keynote.No corporate script.No Joshua steering the ship.Just four technicians talking through passwords, videos, heat, pressure, leadership, money, values, and the modern weight of fixing things for a living.This is 10 Mill Mastery, without me.Negative PushesPositive PullsGod Blessj.⚠️ Disclaimer:I'm a licensed mechanic.

Chris Biediger, better known online as Texas Tool Guy, has lived a technician's story that doesn't fit into a clean little box.He broke his back at 17. Lost hearing in one ear. Left college.

The Iran war may be denting demand for Turners, but the company's still outperforming previous years thanks to its popular Tina ads. Turners Automotive has reported a record normalised net profit of more than $63 million for the year to March – up 16%. Chief executive Todd Hunter told Mike Hosking strong growth in finance and insurance means they're well ahead, despite the war slowing things. He says the customer experience is built on trust, and selling used cars is something that doesn't normally operate on that foundation.

Grant Baker is one of the country's best success stories. The Kiwi serial entrepreneur has had his hand in a number of pies but is best known for two companies – 42 Below and Turners. It's a career that's spanned decades, and that's before you get to his philanthropic efforts and work in co-founding the Gut Cancer Foundation in 2008. He's unravelling his career in his new book ‘No Pit Stops: The Business Of Going All In', sharing stories of successes, setbacks, and lessons he's learned. While Baker has always had a bit of entrepreneurial spirit, it wasn't until he was in his thirties that things really kicked off. “My wife and I invested in property and those sorts of things, y'know, traditional Kiwi way, but we never got much traction,” he told Mike Hosking Baker's true journey began with an offer from Eric Watson to join him in building a “$100 million company” in the Blue Star Group. “When he laid out the opportunity, I just thought, well I've got to do something, I was in my mid-thirties at the time and thought if I don't pull the trigger now, I never will.” And the rest, as they say, is history.

On this episode of Cultural Manifesto, we'll hear the first edition of a new segment titled “40 Indiana Guitar Pioneers That Every Hoosier Should Know.” Over the next year, we'll be sharing the music and history of Indiana guitarists who made notable contributions to music. Some of these musicians are world-famous; some you may not have heard of. This is not a ranked list, and it won't be presented in any particular order. We'll kick this new series off with the Evansville, Indiana guitarist Jackie Clark, who played and recorded with some of the greatest legends in rock and R&B music, including Ike and Tina Turner, Iggy Pop, Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones, and Bobby Womack, among others. Jackie Robinson Clark was born in Evansville, Indiana, in 1950. He began playing guitar in a local Evansville church at age 13. As a student at Central High School, he started a band called The Montclairs, and a few years later, at the University of Evansville, he formed a jazz band called Jackie and the Intelligents. Jackie's big break came in 1970 when he met Ike and Tina Turner during a jam session at Evansville's Executive Inn hotel. Jackie made a big impression on the Turners. In 1982, he told the Evansville Courier and Press that he maintained contact with Ike and Tina, and within a year, he was offered a chance to join their band. Jackie spent the next five years touring and recording with Ike and Tina. His guitar was prominently featured on two albums produced by Ike Turner under the name The Family Vibes, and his fuzz-drenched, acid guitar brought a heavy sound to Ike and Tina's music. The 1970s were a busy time for Jackie Clark. His guitar was featured on the first two solo albums by Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman. In 1976, Jackie accepted an offer to join the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and he performed with the group during their historic tour of the USSR. At this time, Jackie was among the few Black musicians performing country or Americana roots music. As the 1970s ended, Jackie recorded and toured with the Godfather of Punk, Iggy Pop. He played bass and electric guitar with Iggy and is featured on Iggy's 1979 album New Values. Jackie also appears on numerous live recordings with Iggy during this period — many of which feature the Sex Pistols' original bass player, Glen Matlock. Jackie was among the first Black musicians working in punk rock music. During the early 1980s, Jackie's music career came to an abrupt end. He moved back to his hometown of Evansville, where he died in 1990 at the age of 40. Jackie Clark remains an unsung figure in the history of Indiana music, but his extraordinary contributions to American music during the 1970s deserve much greater recognition.

The Turners are back together for another episode and they start by pondering if your spouse can give you "the ick" or not. The two experienced their first big snowfall of the winter in Chicago. Justin has embraced the weather by building a sled ramp and going through the rite of passage of cleaning off your car. The two discuss getting the house ready for the holidays and why it means so much to Justin. Kourtney had her class reunion, which she helped plan, and she explains how it went and what she observed about the group. Kourtney cannot let the episode end before she chats some Chicago Bears football and how the season is going at this point. Follow us on social media!

Kourtney is joined again by Justin for a long overdue catchup episode.  Justin ponders how Kourtney is able to operate her podcast equipment without him in town, which leads to a discussion on marital roles.  Justin recaps the first ever Capital One MLB Open golf tournament week in Las Vegas.  He discusses the selection and pairing process and who he would like to see join the group next year.  The Turners hosted their 9th Annual Justin Turner Golf Classic and similar to two years ago, they dealt with an unexpected weather event.  The two take time to reflect on the support they receive for their event and how much it meant that people still showed up and supported them despite the rain.  Once the two wrapped up the foundation weekend, Justin secured tickets to the semi-finals episode of Dancing with the Stars.  Justin explains how he ended up in a live camera shot with no Kourtney in sight.  Kourtney makes me case for Justin to become a contestant and share their experience with the production of the show.   Follow Holding Kourt: @holdingkourt Follow Kourt: @court_with_a_K Follow Justin: @redturn2
