In this episode, I’m joined by Nick McMillen and Ziad Bedran, co-founders of OWETEC Services, a welding education and consulting company that’s rewriting the rules. We explore their unique paths from shipyards and engineering offices to launching a training center focused on orbital welding and high-purity applications. Nick and Ziad share their bold vision for transforming welding education, empowering the next generation, and solving the skilled labor shortage. From working with NASA to rethinking high school curriculum, they’re not just training welders—they’re building a movement.
