I’d really value your opinion on something.

This Skool platform was built for invested techs who already like the way I explain things – so firstly, thanks for being part of it.

As you know, a lot of people build these platforms by letting everyone in for free and then charging later for the “real” information. I never wanted to play that game, which is why this community started as a paid space for serious techs from day one.

BUT… I had an interesting conversation with a friend yesterday.

His son is being home-schooled, and he suggested the idea of creating a very basic “introduction to the dark arts” course – something aimed at youngsters, apprentices, or even mechanics who are curious about diagnostics.

It wouldn’t be technical training or deep dive stuff.

More like an insight into what we’re actually up against in modern vehicle diagnostics – the kind of thing that might excite some new blood into the trade… or possibly scare them off!

Before I even think about building something like that, I’d love your thoughts:

• What would you include in an intro to diagnostics?• What topics would help spark interest in someone new to the trade?• Would something like this have helped you earlier in your career?• Do you have someone at your workshop (apprentice, young mechanic, work experience, etc.) who might benefit from a free introduction course?

Any ideas, suggestions, or brutal honesty welcome.
