256. There's Got to be a Better Way w/ Scott Raabe

lundi 19 décembre 2022 • Duration 01:20:00

Today’s guest is Scott Raabe, owner and operator of Precision Welding Academy in Katy, Texas. Scott is a welder turned educator. After teaching at 2 different schools, Scott realized there’s got to be a better way to teach welding education. So he started his own school from the ground up. And Scott’s grown the right way, slow and steady, he takes what’s working and improves it, he evaluates what’s not working and eliminates it. He’s also not expanding for the sake of profits, he expands when the time is right while maintaining a 10 student to 1 instructor ratio. He’s grown his school by leaps and bounds and in this episode we discuss how he did it.
