  • You Don’t Have a Sales Problem… You Have a Culture Problem

    You Don’t Have a Sales Problem… You Have a Culture Problem
    Mar 27 2026
    Everybody keeps talking about how this industry is broken. How it sucks. How you can’t make money. How technicians are leaving and shops are struggling.

    Here’s the truth. Yeah, there are problems. But that’s not the whole story.

    Because there are shops out there winning. There are technicians building real careers. There are owners creating teams, culture, and systems that actually work. And the difference isn’t luck. It’s how they run the business.

    In this episode of Repair Shop Reckoning, Kevin breaks down what’s really going on inside shops right now. Not from the outside looking in, but from someone who’s been in it for over 30 years.

    He gets into:
    -Why most shops don’t actually have a sales problem, they have a culture problem.
    -How weak processes, lack of training, and poor leadership create chaos that no amount of selling can fix.
    -Why customers lose trust.
    -Why technicians get frustrated.
    -And why owners stay stuck working in their business instead of building one.

    And more importantly, he shows you there is a different way to do it.

    This isn’t about pretending the industry is perfect. It’s about understanding that if you’re willing to take ownership, build the right systems, and lead the right way, you can still win here.

    If you’re tired of the negativity, tired of hearing how bad it is, and you know there has to be a better way, this episode is for you.

    Because yeah, some days suck. But this industry is still full of opportunity. And if Kevin can do it, so can you.

  • They Ignored the Trades...Now They Have to Pay for It

    They Ignored the Trades...Now They Have to Pay for It
    Mar 20 2026
    Everybody keeps talking about the technician shortage like it just showed up out of nowhere. It didn’t. We built it.

    For the last 30 years, we told kids not to go into the trades. We stripped hands on training out of schools. We pushed college as the only path. Then we built workplaces that burn out the very people we depend on. And now everyone’s asking where all the good techs went.

    Here’s what nobody’s saying… Supply and demand has shifted.

    There aren’t enough skilled people, and the ones who can actually do the work are becoming more valuable by the day. That means something most people still haven’t realized. The trades are no longer the fallback option. They’re the opportunity.

    In this episode of Repair Shop Reckoning, Kevin zooms out and connects the dots. This is not just about mechanics. This is about a system that devalues real skill while depending on it more than ever. Kevin breaks down why the technician shortage was created, not accidental, how schools and culture steered an entire generation away from the trades, what is really happening inside dealerships and larger operations, and why good technicians are leaving while broken systems keep the wrong people in place.

    He also gets into what actually fixes the problem. Leadership. Training. Pay. Standards. Not talk. Not excuses.

    If you are a shop owner trying to build a team, a technician feeling the pressure, or a parent trying to guide your kid down the right path, this is a conversation you need to hear.

    Because at the end of the day, the world still runs on people who can fix things. And the people who can are about to get paid.

  • RSR 1st ep remastered

    RSR 1st ep remastered
    Mar 13 2026
    Most people know Kevin Brown as the guy who tells it like it is.

    The shop owner. The operator. The guy calling out the chaos, the excuses, and the bad decisions that quietly kill shops.

    But this episode is different.

    This is the beginning of the story.

    In this remastered episode of Repair Shop Reckoning, Kevin sits down with his mom and dad to talk about where it all started. The learning struggles, the behavior issues, the teachers, the testing, the medication, the farm, the trades, and the moments that shaped the way he sees the world now.

    Before the businesses…
    Before the consulting…
    Before the podcast…

    There was a kid who didn’t fit the system. A kid who struggled in school. Got bored fast. Got in trouble, and was told, directly and indirectly, that he was going to have a hard road.

    This episode explains how that same kid found his way through hands-on work, the farm, the trades, and an obsession with learning and eventually became a master certified technician, business owner, leader, and teacher.

    This is the episode that explains why Kevin is Kevin.

    In this episode
    • Kevin’s parents tell the real story of what he was like growing up
    • The learning struggles and school system battles that shaped him
    • How the farm became the turning point
    • Why hands-on work changed everything
    • The underdog story behind the voice of Repair Shop Reckoning If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t fit the system…

    If you’ve ever been underestimated. If you learn better with your hands than from a book. This episode is for you. Because sometimes the people who look like the biggest problem early on. Become the ones who build the most.
