🎙️ Episode 38: Tool Talk & Big Events on the Horizon – Mid-Season Check-In

In Episode 38 of The All Access Podcast, Gene Fetty is back with a laid-back but valuable solo episode packed with gear talk, event previews, and a behind-the-scenes look at what’s happening mid-season at the Automotive Appearance Institute.

Gene kicks things off with updates on two major events:

Hail Expo in St. Louis (July 18–19): A free-to-attend event featuring a full lineup of speakers, tool companies, and networking opportunities. Reserve your spot at www.hailexpo.com.
GPR/PDR Competition at CamAuto in Montreal (July 11–13): Gene is headed north to compete and judge in this prestigious glue pull event, and he shares both his excitement and nerves.
From there, it’s a gear-focused deep dive:

Gene walks through some of the tools he’s been testing in the shop and during training, including standouts and setups he’s prepping for upcoming live streams.
He tests a new overhead camera system, giving listeners a preview of the live stream capabilities for Hail Expo.
Throughout the episode, Gene reflects on the evolution of his tool cart, what stays, what gets retired, and how tools impact teaching and real-world results.
Whether you’re tuning in for tool talk, event updates, or just want a genuine mid-season pulse check from one of the industry’s top educators, this episode has something for you.
