On this episode of The K-Factor Podcast, we sit down with Bob Caputo to talk about how to stay sharp in the fire sprinkler industry—even after years in inspection, testing, and maintenance (ITM). 🔍 🚿
Bob dives into breaking legacy habits, avoiding complacency, and why “training the trainer” is critical to raising the standard across the industry. From challenging outdated ITM practices to mentoring the next generation of inspectors and technicians, this conversation is all about accountability, growth, and continuous improvement. 📘🔥
