    #316 Finding High Quality Workwear with Carl Murawski

    Carl Murawski is an experienced electrician who has worked in the trades for over 20 years. He now runs a YouTube channel where he reviews high-quality workwear and tools. Carl is extremely knowledgeable about work boots and other durable, high-quality products suited for tradespeople. His goal is to authentically help people find the best gear while being honest about the pros and cons of different options. Carl is frustrated by companies that market poor-quality products through disingenuous tactics. He is passionate about craftsmanship and buying items that are made to last through repairs. Carl is currently considering a full-time transition from his career in electrical work to focus on expanding his YouTube channel reviewing workwear and tools.
