Met Chris today. Just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to talk to me and telling me some key things to do and see and how you got started. Your a cool guy and ur stuff helped get more into the field
I build a/c unit from scratch on a piece of plywood in 10th grade automotive class. Ford compressor driven by a 2hp AC motor, auto condenser with table fan on it, and a blower evap combo unit. I remember asking teacher how the compressor gets cooled? He looked at me and said c'mon, think!
2 awesome guys in the industry who are helping people gain knowledge, skills and critical thinking. All are needed to be a successful tech. Kudos to you both. When i became a tech....i was thrown out there on my own with no training, guidance or advice....it literally was sink or swing.....so i got down to the brass tax of it all....began to read...read...read. I took my future in my own hands....didn't just float along hoping to gain knowledge. Dont be a knowledge nazi towards the younger guys. Help them, bring them up....get the satisfaction of seeing someone else gain knowledge and grow their skill set
Eureka moments in education are so important. I have a pet theory, human learning is heavily derived from animal navigation skills. Remember when you move to someplace new, you tend to only know paths from home to A, home to B, and home to C. A and B might be close, but you haven't grasped the spatial relationship yet, so you end up traveling from A to B via home. But travel enough in an area, build up enough knowledge of paths, particularly intersecting path, and you build up a mental map of an area. Then that eureka moment comes when you finally figure out how to directly travel from A to B. I think human knowledge is like that. Which means if we can focus teaching on the paths that interconnect the most, the faster people can learn. The trouble is having a conception of what the mental map of a particular knowledge is, and identifying the most interconnected bits.
It’s your future business partner. I said it before and I’ll say it again, you and craig and Bryan start an educational company, you run the West Coast and Craig runs the middle and Bryan runs the East Coast. Training for all of the United States.
Hey Chris, I like your podcast/social media, looking thru some comments? Again Chris, what is up with the mentos fresh mints and the bag of C.H.I.P.S ?. I'm a terminator, system model 101, and no, I'm not shitting you. Love you buddy.

Anyone can buy R-22 on ebay in the US for about $30lb. US made not a sub, not from china.
