I'm happy to welcome back Pete Oxenham, founder of Chatter and Head of Product for Toolpath, for an in-depth discussion on his recent journey. We delve into Pete's decision to sell his machine shop to focus entirely on Chatter, the challenges he faced in finding a suitable buyer, and the emotional roller coaster of letting go of a business he built from scratch. Pete also opens up about joining the Toolpath team, transitioning from a solo operator to working within a larger organization, and the ups and downs of collaboration. We explore the future of Chatter within Toolpath, upcoming software features, and the ongoing integration process. Plus, Pete shares his perspective on work-life balance, his most valuable tools, and the exciting possibilities for machine shop automation.
