Podcast with Mike Ganotti: From Microsoft & AI to the Blacksmith’s Forge

In this episode, I sit down with Mike Ganotti—an IT professional at Microsoft who’s also carving out a path in blacksmithing and bladesmithing. We talk about how he got started in tech, his role with Microsoft in artificial intelligence, and the journey that led him to swing a hammer in his free time. Mike shares insights into the tools he’s currently using, what he’s saving up for next, his current projects on the workbench and how he balances a demanding career with a passion for metalworking.
