Ever taken a job just to get a better price on a new truck?? Lol I know it seems in hindsight to be a bad reason but todays guest Greg Hilliard from London Ontario actually tried it. Now Greg is like me a tech that came from the highway truck side of the industry before finding his way in the automotive side and now hes one of those rare shops in smaller community's where hes fixing everything in the community from their powerstroke diesel to their farm tractor to someone's boat. He's built himself a business like alot of us remember being more common but as we embrace "progress" shops like this are going away. Greg shares what was the final straw that pushed him into business ownership and what his hopes for the future are going forward. I know sometimes it seems like we rip on small operators in this industry but never forget that the we respect the grind and the hustle that so many small operators bring to the workplace every day. The hope is Greg can join me next spring at TOOLS by MAACA and we can introduce him to so many of my friends in the industry. We're hoping to record a bunch more episodes in the next month before fishing season ramps up so if you're on the fence about being a guest get down off the post and reach out to me. As always thank you to all my family and friends that sponsor the podcast. Without you we wouldn't be able to do this. LAUNCH Tech USA Tekmetric Promotive thank you.
