Work Life Balance w/ RADs Auto Detailing
This is the FIRST ever “detailer’s wife” episode on the podcast! Some of us detailers have family’s, kids, wife’s, girlfriends and/or various outside hobbies. How do we balance it all with the demands of running our own businesses? Josh from RADs Auto Detailing, and his wife, drove down to Tulsa to record this podcast in person. We all hashed out the realities of running a business while balancing the home life as well. Big shout out to Prairie Ale for the amazing beer choice of the night, a farmhouse ale called, “Brett C.” This podcast is jam packed with some real life content on balancing the business and life!

IDA Update w/ the President, Justin Labato
Justin Labato (President) and DJ Patterson (Board Member) give insight on the benefits of being apart of the IDA. It’s very common for professional detailer’s ego’s to get in the way of not being apart of this movement. DJ was once a non believer of the IDA but that has most definitely changed! It is so much more than a piece of paper and certification. It’s a movement... it’s community. Tune in, subscribe, leave us a review, and make it a great day!
Having Employees 👍 or 👎
HAVING EMPLOYEES - GOOD OR BAD...with Jake Roach from Professional Auto Detailing in Warrensburg, MO College professor AND auto detailing business owner!? Our guest Jake from Pro Detail in Warrensburg, MO bought a company that was supposed to be a fully staffed and trained money making machine at time of purchase. Day 1 of opening his doors... there were zero employees! Tune in and listen as he explains how he quickly turned it around and now has 5-7 employees on his payroll with booming business! Jake and DJ go back and forth (while sipping Boulevard Wheat!) and discuss the headaches and the beauties of having employees in the auto detailing industry... from handbooks, to employee training, to quality control apps, hiring, firing, and so much more! If you have employees (team members as DJ would say) OR are considering having them, this is the podcast for you! Cheers!

Who is Lagunitas Brewery?
We had a very short chatt with Mike Paulk who is the Texas rep for Lagunitas Brewery. Super fun to catch up with Mike sense he was my bartender at an old bar I use to go to back when I was a Mobile Detailer. The app cut us off but it was good until then 🤦🏼♂️
What is the IDA w/ Justin Labato
“What is all the hype about the IDA?! What is it doing for our industry and why should I be apart of it?! Is it really important to have a certification... I’ve been Detailing for 20+ years!” All of these are commonly asked questions in regards to what the IDA is. Justin Labato (@jl_showroom_detailing), president of the IDA, and fellow detailer has a great open discussion in regards to this topic. This podcast was recorded live at an IDA Meet and Greet held here in Tulsa, Oklahoma for the local detailers. @djpatterson provided some @michelobultra to sip on and Marty Hill of @totalautosolutions dished out some BBQ as we gathered tons of great information from Justin.
