I would really love to start back at the very first place you learned how to weld.

Okay.

So right out of high school, tried my hand at college.

It failed.

I maybe lasted three months, realized that wasn't for me.

My grandfather, he worked for a company called Braun, which was an industrial laundry company that made sheet folders, dryers, washers for the hotel and hospital industry.

If you've ever watched Breaking Bad, you'll know there's a scene in there where they lift up this big blue machine to get down to their lab, and that, that was one of Braun's dryers that we built at that company.

He's talking about learning to weld at work from his coworkers, but he also touches on gatekeeping in the industry.
