278. From Nascar to NASA May 30, 2023

In this episode, I am talking with Amourette McDonagh. She started welding back in college and then got into an internship welding for NASCAR. She's now doing Research and Development for NASA to weld in Outer space. There are a lot of things to consider when welding in outer space and many more variables to deal with than welding here on earth.

276. Making A Difference in Education w/ Danny Cobb May 15, 2023

Show notes

In this weeks episode, I am chatting with Danny Cobb, a CWI/CWI, Welding instructor and owner of American Welding Labs Ft. Smith Arkansas. After teaching welding at a local college, Danny thought to himself, there's got to be a better way. So he took a chance and struck out on his own to start his own welding school and teach welding the way he knows it needs to be taught. I can completely relate to what he's talking about and the route he decided to take. In this episode we chat about his welding journey, getting his CWI, and the struggles he's faced to chase his own dream.
