    I work in IT and really enjoyed the business side of the conversation. Specifically the ideas on employee retention bonus. These are ideas that can be applied to any business today.

EV Fire Risk: What Shops Need to Know Now
Q: What are the most important practical steps a shop can take today to be EV ready?
Ensure all staff undergo safety awareness training, keep EVs away from buildings, use barriers to separate charging/parking areas, have batteries on wheels when removed, stock proper blanketing equipment, and incorporate thermal imaging to assess thermal runaway before entry.
EV Fire Risk: What Shops Need to Know Now
Q: What makes EV fires different from traditional ICE vehicle fires, and how should shops adjust?
EV fires involve high-temperature battery chemistry that can release toxic gases, cause explosions, and last longer; shops must implement evacuation priorities, keep vehicles away from structures, use proper PPE, and deploy tools like fire blankets and thermal imaging to guide response.
EV Fire Risk: What Shops Need to Know Now
Q: How did you get involved in EV safety and what problem were you trying to solve?
I saw a lack of consistent protocols during EV fires in retail settings, which led me to develop a structured approach with steps like parking rules, containment barriers, and a training program to help non-technical staff recognize and respond to thermal runaway.
Building Success Through OEM Certifications & Dealer Partnerships with Bryan Thompson
Q: How would you recommend leveraging your certifications for growth?
It's boots on the ground, showing up to dealers, and marketing directly to lower level employees.
Building Success Through OEM Certifications & Dealer Partnerships with Bryan Thompson
Q: What advice would you give that shop owner who's just beginning to establish and form these relationships?
Plan out their week, devote time to being outside of the shop, and expect rejection.
