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.
