We’re back from AAPEX 2025, and what an incredible event it was! Tracy and I had the chance to reconnect with so many friends, record exciting new podcast episodes, and participate in some amazing industry conversations. I also had the honor of facilitating a Mastermind session for shop owners — always an energizing experience.
One of the highlights of the week was seeing Tracy recognized as a Woman of Excellence by the Women in Auto Care, a community of the Auto Care Association. I couldn’t be prouder. In just four short years in the industry, Tracy has made a tremendous impact — learning, growing, and being embraced by so many in the automotive repair community. Thank you to everyone who’s been part of her journey! Congrats to Lauren Briggs, Heather Antrim, and Cass Tomac, who were also honored for this award.
And as if that weren’t enough…
We also unveiled our new brand identity — moving from ARN to the Automotive Repair Podcast Network (ARPN). This rebrand better reflects our mission and the focused content we’re creating for the industry.
But wait — there’s more!
We’ve officially launched the ARPN Listening App, bringing every show on the network right to your fingertips. Watch the short video below to explore its features — from creating personalized playlists to watching videos right inside the app (and plenty more).
We’re already hard at work on version 2.0, and we’d love your feedback.
