WELD EP 156: I Bet I Can Weld Better Than Him with Keenan Maines
In this week’s episode, Beau chats with Keenan Maines, a seasoned welder fabricator, who recounts his 35-year career. He talks about getting his start in welding at Braun where he held multiple positions and advises new welders to get into manufacturing to get exposure to all kinds of jobs. He then talks about learning to weld aluminum after hours at a shop to get another job building car wash systems before walking in the door of DeAngelo Marine Exhaust and telling the owner's wife he could weld better than the guy out in the show who happened to be the owner and put his skills to the test getting a job right off the street. He then left to pursue work building turbine boats and power generators before coming back to DeAngelos where he currently works in the fabrication department. He leaves the audience with advice to own up for mistakes you make, and do you best every day and the money will find you.

EP 154: Never Say No To A Weld with Stan Sherwin
In this week’s episode, Beau sits down to chat with Stan Sherwin who we recently visited at DeAngelo Marine Exhaust where he raced against a Cobot to see who could weld a 32” flange the fastest. Stan shares his beginnings in the trade under his father's guidance, overcoming challenges and embracing the opportunities that led him to specialize in various welding techniques, particularly TIG welding different metals. He emphasizes the importance of practice, patience, and never shying away from challenging tasks to master the craft. Stan's stories shed light on his philosophy of striving to be the best, his adaptive learning through trial and error, and his advice to upcoming welders on pursuing excellence. We dive in after a quick word from our trusted partners

EP 153: You Don't Know What You Don't Know with Hayden Barnes
In this week’s episode, Beau chats with Hayden Barnes who taught himself to weld and changed careers by starting his business @tookiesshop named after his grandfather, leaving a desk job to work with his hands. He talks about how he has reached out to people in the online welding community for advice and tips to learn, built up his business via word of mouth and handing out flyers and business cards, and then leaves us with some advice about not being afraid to ask questions because you don’t know what you don’t know until you come across it.
