Nikki is a mechanic and big rig driver based in Montreal, Canada. Being the only woman in both her automotive mechanics and truck driving class, Nikki has learned how to overcome and adapt to challenges in a male-dominated world. Nikki's pride and joy is her 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger, known also as "Daisy", which was featured in a special edition Rock Auto magnet. In this episode, Nikki takes us for a ride talking about her work on Daisy and about how she pulled herself out of her largest life challenge--a back injury. Buckle up Femcanics!

Joanie Butler is a Distributor Sales Manager at Arc Zone, Inc.—a top welding supply company in California. She has been with the company for 9 years, but her journey in the skilled trades industry didn't start there. This small-town girl from northern California started dabbling in the trades as a teenager while 4-wheeling and off roading "with the guys". Her free spirit and curiosity about how things work continued leading her to a world of adventure and exploration beginning with amateur surfing in the early 90's. Seeking "more" Joanie taught herself how to weld, got certified as a small engines mechanic, became a top sales person and fabricator for a company that made catalytic converters, and then got recruited by Arc Zone where she is today. Join us on this episode as we pull back the curtain and explore Joanie's adventurous journey!
