In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How Harrison went from welding school to running his own business in just a few years
• Why safety, respirators, and pacing matter more when your health is already working against you
• What mobile welders need to understand about overhead, helpers, tool costs, and jobsite prep
• How Harrison uses social media to land brand deals and create income outside of fabrication jobs
• Why younger welders should think beyond one paycheck and build multiple income streams early
