Episode Notes:

When Jeremy Winters, a former refinish technician with an artistic flair, faced a life-altering health scare, he didn't let it end his career. Instead, he learned to pivot, transforming his passion for automotive painting into a role that continues to influence the industry from a new perspective. This episode we navigate Jeremy's inspiring journey from the shop floor to his position at Accudraft Booths, exploring the resilience required to turn adversity into opportunity.
My conversation with Jeremy is more than a mere trip down memory lane—it's an eye-opener on the potential hazards of automotive refinishing. His first-hand account pinpoints the crucial moments where health concerns from paint fumes forced him to hit the brakes on his career as a painter. Yet, it was through these challenges that we uncover the serendipitous encounters and the robust network that steered Jeremy towards a path of industry relations and content creation. His gratitude towards fresh air systems, mentorship, and the evolution of workplace safety is palpable, and it underscores a message that resonates with every technician who has ever picked up a spray gun.
Wrapping up Part 1 of this 2-part episode, Jeremy's anecdote reminds us that sometimes a single phone call can launch an entirely new chapter. A chance conversation led to an unanticipated job opportunity with AccuDraft, where he now crafts content that supports and educates fellow painting technicians. It's a compelling tale of harnessing resourcefulness, the strength of community, and how maintaining a passion for your craft can guide you through the most unexpected career turns. Listen in to hear how Jeremy's tenacity and dedication have made him an invaluable resource in the automotive refinishing community and be sure to come back next week for Part 2 & the inspirational conclusion of our conversation!
