One Hour. Three Dents. Zero Excuses.
Dare to face your own fear factors? Step into the high-pressure world of elite Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) with Joe Garcia as he recounts his experience at the recent PDR Expo competition in Las Vegas. This isn't just a story about tools and dents; it’s an honest look at the real struggles PDR techs face, especially when quality goes up against the clock. Joe, a seasoned veteran, put himself under intense stress, facing three "really deep and really sharp" dents on a door, fender, and roof rail, all with a crushing hour-and-a-half time limit. Hear him admit that any one of those repairs would normally take him at least that long to complete. Every PDR tech will relate to the struggle: • The Fear Factor: Joe reveals the "crazy" decision to enter, confessing he almost bailed out several times due to self-doubt, lack of preparation, and the fear of humiliating himself or cracking the paint. He successfully broke the "barrier of self-doubt" that keeps even great technicians away from competition. • The Mindset Shift: Discover why Joe approached this competition not to win a trophy, but with the mindset of running a marathon—challenging himself to be better than he was yesterday. He explains how remembering that PDR is a valued service for others helped him mentally tackle the pressure. • The Self-Imposed Pressure: Learn why Joe chose to add an extra layer of stress by live-streaming the entire competition—a decision he says was gut-wrenching but necessary to fulfill his goal of opening the door for digital trust within his local market. • The Technical Takeaways: Joe shares specific on-the-fly learnings, including surprising tool changes (such as switching from a blunt R4 tip to the Dent Slayer metal-on-metal tool) and crucial lessons in organization and speed hacks (like recognizing he should have used magnetic knockdowns). He also praises the performance of the Hog glue in that environment, which made him a believer in its effectivenes. Joe’s performance ultimately exposed weaknesses he can now improve upon. His single biggest takeaway from the entire experience was the power of choice—the decision to view intense pressure as excitement and an opportunity to push personal boundaries. Listen now to find out why Joe says he would do it again "in a heartbeat" and his best advice for any PDR tech considering competing for the first time: it’s a competition against yourself that leads to transformation. check Joe Garcia out @dentevo and https://dentevo.com Myke Toledo - @denttime and  https://denttime.com

135: Belief Beyond Boundaries: Lessons from PDR Pricing & Kevin Halewood
If you'd like to donate to Kevin's family here is the Go Fund Me account 👇 https://www.gofundme.com/f/the-halewood-family?utm_campaign=p_cp%20share-sheet&utm_medium=copy_link_all&utm_source=customer&fbclid=IwAR1zR6Ou1UPzuKzrswFDcYrnuyLQh37o-IXPudNcYft16H20202pKLdBkk8In this compelling episode, we first pay homage to Kevin Halewood, the esteemed founder of the Mobile Tech Expo, whose visionary leadership and dedication have left an indelible mark on the mobile technology and PDR (Paintless Dent Removal) industries. We explore Kevin's legacy, reflecting on his contributions, the values he championed, and the community he built, which continues to thrive in his memory. This segment is a tribute to a figure whose impact resonates far beyond the confines of his work, inspiring us to pursue excellence and innovation with the same passion and commitment. Shifting focus, we delve into a pervasive challenge within the PDR community and beyond: the struggle with self-belief. Despite possessing remarkable skills and potential, many technicians find themselves hindered by deep-seated doubts and the conditioning that they "can't" achieve their dreams or reach new professional heights. We dissect the origins of these limiting beliefs, from societal messages to internal narratives, and explore why individuals condition themselves to accept less than they are capable of. More than just an examination, this episode serves as a motivational guide. We offer insights and strategies to overcome these mental barriers, drawing on psychological principles, inspirational stories, and practical advice. Our goal is to empower PDR technicians—and indeed, anyone listening—to reframe their mindset, embrace their potential, and step boldly into a future where "I can" replaces "I can't." Join us on a journey of remembrance and self-discovery, as we honor the legacy of Kevin Halewood and tackle the universal quest for self-belief. It's time to break free from the chains of doubt and soar to new heights, fueled by the conviction that within each of us lies untapped potential waiting to be unleashed.
