WelderFabber Shares His Story - His Father, Mistakes in Business & Clashing With The Mafia | EP39

In this episode of Talkin' Shop, we're joined by WelderFabber (AKA Barry Martin or Baz) at his fabrication workshop in Preston, where he shares his story for the first time on any podcast. He talks about how he learned to weld from a very young age, how his Father taught him everything he knows and what it was like, tragically, losing him. He also discusses starting a business at 21 and the series of events that led to it ultimately failing, and the hard lessons he learned from that. He tells the shocking story of getting into an altercation with the mafia while on holiday in Marbella when he was younger, leaving him hospitalised. And finally, talks about the success that his business has seen over the years, including his proudest jobs. Thanks to WelderFabber for coming on the podcast!
