Graduation season is officially here, and we had the honor of adopting a couple future welders as they step into their next chapter. We put together some essentials, loaded them up with Slickman goodies, and of course added plenty of snacks for the road ahead.

There’s something special about supporting the next generation of hardworking young men chasing a career in the trades. Congratulations to these graduates — we’re proud of you and excited to see where this welding journey takes you. Wishing you success, growth, and endless opportunities ahead. Keep showing up, working hard, and making your mark.

2025 was a blur for Chiasson Smoke, but we’re officially back behind the microphones.

In this episode of Beyond the Product, Jason sits down in the shop with Ryan Miller from PWI to talk about what it really takes to grow a fabrication business from a small family welding shop into a nationwide company with more than 200 employees.

This episode dives deep into:
• Leadership and company culture
• Hiring A players
• Sales and marketing
• Delegation and scaling a business
• Work life balance as an entrepreneur
• Growing from a local shop to a national brand
• The reality of building a manufacturing company

Ryan shares honest stories about the struggles, lessons, and mindset shifts that helped transform PWI into what it is today.

If you own a fabrication shop, dream about growing your business, or just love entrepreneurship and manufacturing, this episode is packed with value.

Huge thank you to PWI for supporting the podcast and for building products we use every single day in our own shop.
