  • 276. Making A Difference in Education w/ Danny Cobb

    In this weeks episode, I am chatting with Danny Cobb, a CWI/CWI, Welding instructor and owner of American Welding Labs Ft. Smith Arkansas. After teaching welding at a local college, Danny thought to himself, there's got to be a better way. So he took a chance and struck out on his own to start his own welding school and teach welding the way he knows it needs to be taught. I can completely relate to what he's talking about and the route he decided to take. In this episode we chat about his welding journey, getting his CWI, and the struggles he's faced to chase his own dream.
