Customer Reviews
Argentina to California welding
Thoroughly enjoyed Keith’s exploration of Marianna’s path. The dialogue was great with emphasis on training, job opportunities and what anyone, minorities and women can bring to the profession. Actually, Marianna lived with us for a year in Northern California after her time at Berkeley. She is honest, ethical, and passionate. These qualities are demonstrated in all she does. She and George Rolla run a very well respected company. Thank you for highlighting her. I hope this in someway helps the industry… her big fans.
Keith cares AND knows how to run an interview!
If you’re looking for a show to help you show young minds a whole world of career options that don’t require college debt, Keith brings it. He’s got a wonderfully curated guest list, does his homework and knows how to get the most out of everyone he sits down with. Definitely a great show to add to your podcasting repertoire!
Great podcast
Keith interviews a diverse group of experts in the trades who share their knowledge and insights. One of my favorite podcasts to listen to.
