Arc Junkies- walk te talk
I started listing to arc-junkies around the time I caught up to welding tips and tricks last episode, I did not know if I would find another podcast made for welders by welders. When I started listening I was another student, teaching myself the craft at work, trying to grow and better myself. I can now wholeheartedly say that not only has Jason helped me further myself with his podcast and his support outside of the platform but he has ignited a passion for the industry I didn’t know was there.
Jason brings a breath of fresh air to the industry, bringing guests from a plethora of industries that involve welding. Having a real world conversation, with valid questions that come from experience and a place of genuine curiosity. As a fabricator, I find the upmost value in direct, relatable information; we simply do not have time, the time we do dedicate to furthering our craft needs to be efficient and purposeful. Jason over delivers in this matter, adding unmatched value to every welder out there looking to further themselves in this industry.
Thank you Jason, truly appreciate all of the time you dedicate to helping the community and making it a more welcoming place for all.
