Customer Reviews
Inspiring
I run a very similar business to both these guys, in the same niche industry, and have followed them both on Instagram for years, so it almost feels like this is being produced just for me.
I’ve often felt like I’m all on my own out here trying to figure out what I’m doing. It’s both comforting to hear how other people are experiencing the same challenges, and inspiring to hear how they are solving them. Every episode gives me at least one idea or thing to try.
Great conversations about CNC work!
Justin and Jim are great to listen to if you’re interested in any type of CNC shop content. Looking forward to learning from them in the future episodes!
