Description

"You are not a leader until you've created a leader who can create another leader."




This week on Wrench Turners Podcast,


Mechanic, Enthusiast, and Entrepreneur


Travis Caldwell




In this episode, I sat down with a mechanic who knows firsthand that persistence, a positive culture, and respect are key to success in the shop.




Travis shared how his journey taught him the importance of mentorship and finding a place where you’re valued. We discussed how listening to every team member—and helping them grow—can make a stronger, more successful crew.




His biggest takeaway? Don't let work control your life; invest in mentors who truly support you. It reminds everyone in this industry to keep growing, respect the journey, and lead with purpose.




Let’s get into it.
