In this episode of HVAC R&D, Ramblin Rhyno' (Rhydon Atzenhoffer) sits down with Greggory Butler, the creator of TA‑14 — a bold, structured approach to residential HVAC diagnostics built not just to teach the steps, but to reset the mindset.A former Army infantryman turned one-man $2M/year service tech, Gregg doesn’t shy away from asking tough questions about how we think, troubleshoot, and train in this trade. And in this conversation, we follow suit — with a deep dive into the why behind his method and the real-life impact it's having on techs across the country.But this episode goes beyond diagnostics. It’s about challenging the norms that keep the HVAC industry stagnant — and having honest conversations that push us all forward. If you followed Gregg and Rhydon's the recent dialogue on LinkedIn about the role of podcasting, education, and trust in the trades, this episode is what sparked much of their continuation of that conversation — not with outrage, but with open minds.Whether you're a seasoned tech, an industry educator, or just someone who wants to get better at your craft, Gregg brings a clear and powerful voice, a focused mission, and a refreshing lack of fluff.💬 “If you don't know where to start… how can you know where to finish?” Enjoy the episode? 👉 Listen now and hit Subscribe so you never miss a drop! Sign-Up for your FREE LiveSwitch Demo here ===>>> https://join.liveswitch.com/z8n55e7li6px Thank you to DiversiTech, Dubby, LiveSwitch, JPL Flex, RLS - Rapid Locking System and True Nature Meat Company for making this show possible. 🎙️ Want to be on the show?
