What does it take to build a high-growth company in an industry where execution, service, and trust matter every day?

In this episode of the CEO Global Network Podcast, John Wilson sits down with Matthew Crimi, President & CEO of Canada Welding Supply, to discuss the leadership lessons he's learned while growing one of Canada's leading welding and industrial supply companies.

Matt shares how his background in the skilled trades shaped his leadership style, why empowering people is essential for growth, and how leaders can balance technology and AI adoption without losing the human connection that customers value most. He also explains the importance of finding the right customers, building a strong culture, and learning to work on the business instead of in it.

Whether you're leading a trades business, scaling an e-commerce company, or building a high-performance team, this conversation offers practical insights on leadership, growth, and long-term success.
