The Journeyman: Episode 2

Lessons from a lifetime in manufacturing. This program is not about "making parts." It's about the unique perspective you get on life when you work with your hands every day. The purpose of my program is to share the wisdom of others who are the backbone of the American Dream: The Blue-Collar guys and gals who "make the stuff" that we all use every single day. Hope you enjoy it.
