The host welcomes listeners to the On Site Podcast and brings on his 18-year-old son, Jaxson, a welder who is about to graduate high school. After sharing old photos as an icebreaker and noting a delayed recording due to the production manager’s condo fire, they discuss Jaxson’s first year in welding, including working afternoons at Falcon on crane trucks and building components for decks, plus a challenging repair on a rusted dump body. Jaxson says he’s excited about making money, working with his hands, and being done with school, and he mentions practicing with a Weld VR app. The host reflects on lessons from Jaxson’s hockey background, the importance of discipline amid “noise” in the trades, and his own early financial mistakes, encouraging Jaxson to stay focused as he enters the industry.
