Don’t Base Your Success On Probability – Ken Zanders [RR 822]

"There are many roads you can follow, but there may only be one road that leads to the right way." Industry trainer Ken Zanders opens this episode with a story about 'When Harry Met Ken," a spoof on the movie "When Harry Met Sally." Ken describes his technician friend, Harry, who is always looking for a quick fix without gathering the full information. Too often, when facing a diagnostic problem or challenge in the shop, we jump to find the quick fix. How can we 'slow down to speed up' in our daily lives? Ken Zanders, ASE Master Certified Automotive Technician with L1 Advanced Engine Performance.
