In this powerful episode, we sit down with our business coach, Josh Kasinskas from Buji ActionCOACH, to dive into a journey that many entrepreneurs face but few talk about — the transition from owning a job to owning a business.

We open up about:

• The early grind and mindset traps of being your own boss

• How we accidentally built a job instead of a scalable business

• What a business coach really does (and why we didn’t know we needed one)

• The growing pains, breakthroughs, and real strategies we’ve learned along the way

If you’re a builder, a dreamer, or stuck between hustle and burnout, this episode is for you.

In this special episode, Jason and Miranda sit down with a very important guest — Abbey, the very first welder ever hired by Chiasson Smoke back in 2020 (or was it 2019? Time flies!).

Abbey shares her story of how she found her way into welding — a path driven by creativity, resilience, and the desire to provide for her family. From her early days in a male-dominated industry to becoming an essential part of the Chiasson Smoke journey, this episode is full of real talk, laughs, and a lot of heart.

🔍 In this episode, we talk about:
• How Abbey got into welding and why it wasn’t your typical career path
• What it was like being the first ever hire at Chiasson Smoke
• Navigating a male-dominated trade as a woman
• The intersection of art, grit, and craftsmanship
