Trevor Matthews returns to the HVAC School Podcast to discuss building tech confidence and personal growth in the HVAC and refrigeration industry. The conversation explores the transformative power of self-investment, continuous learning, and maintaining a positive mindset. Trevor shares his personal journey from a hesitant technician to a successful business owner, highlighting the importance of pushing beyond comfort zones and embracing continuous improvement. Some fundamental mindset shifts are necessary for professional development. Trevor candidly discusses his early career struggles, including his initial fear of public speaking and technical challenges. He emphasizes that confidence isn't something that happens overnight but is built through consistent effort, studying, and maintaining a willingness to learn. The key to the growth mindset is to focus on personal progress instead of comparing your achievements to those of others, and it's a perspective that can dramatically impact professional and personal growth. Self-investment consists of dedicating time to learning, staying physically and mentally healthy, and maintaining a positive attitude, and it can open up unprecedented opportunities. Many technicians have transformed their careers by adopting a growth mindset, continuously seeking knowledge, and being willing to step outside their comfort zones.
