They Promised They’d Stop. They Meant It.

Épisode 9

Yes, this is about the metal trades. But this episode goes somewhere our industry rarely goes. How can someone swear they are finished in the morning, then return to the same substance that night, while meaning it both times? I take you inside the craving, fear, deception, withdrawal, and shame that turn relief into a prison. Before we judge the person behind the welding hood, we need to understand the fight nobody else can see.

Metal Fabrication Nation with Greg Sheldon. Real talk for welders, fabricators, shop owners, and the next generation of tradespeople. Built on the belief that AI won’t replace real tradespeople, and the trades aren’t a backup plan; they’re the backbone.

Greg reminds welders, fabricators, foremen, shop owners, and tradespeople that they are not behind the times — they are building the future. Follow the show, share it with someone in the trade, and keep pushing the industry forward. Want to see what bad quoting may be costing your shop?

Two Factions: AI or Anti-AI?

Épisode 7

As AI becomes part of everyday life and work, are we heading toward two distinct groups; those who embrace it and those who choose to avoid it?

In this episode, I explore whether that divide is already forming, what it could mean for the skilled trades and manufacturing, and whether there is still room for a middle ground.

Where do you stand: AI or Anti-AI?

NEXT EPISODE WE GO MORE IN DEPTH ON THIS TOPIC and I SHARE MY OPINION ON THE DANGER OF AI AND WHAT I DISAGREE WITH AND HOW IT MIGHT RUIN EVERYTHING; ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE PUTTING A CHIP IN YOUR BRAIN AND CONNECTING IT TO STARLINK.

Men Carry More Than Steel

Épisode 4

In this raw, personal episode of Metal Fabrication Nation, I talk about divorce, fatherhood, court pressure, anger, control, faith, and what men in the trades carry when nobody is watching.

This is not a polished episode.

It is real, emotional, and straight from the heart.

Sometimes the hardest thing a man has to build is himself back up.

Some foremen aren’t leaders. They’re just good welders with a title and a bad attitude. This episode calls out the promotion mistake too many shops keep making.
