Podcast Description
What happens when a career in welding finds you unexpectedly? Mike Barnett, a Welder from Canton, Ohio, joins us to share his unique journey from working on irrigation systems to wielding a welding torch. Growing up, Mike was set to inherit the family business, but his grandfather's wise words and a fateful commercial for Tulsa Welding School rerouted his path. This episode captures Mike's initial misgivings about the physical demands of welding and his eventual passion for the craft. We also touch on the broader world of welding, where a recent graduate faces the hurdles of job-hunting in a rural, agriculture-dominated area of Southwest Kansas.Â
