Highlights
Dan explains why he built Custom Fabrications gradually through word of mouth, rather than expanding faster than the company could manage. He discusses the difficulty of finding skilled welders and fabricators, the responsibility he feels towards his employees and their families, and the importance of having a strong support system outside work.
The conversation also explores anxiety, public speaking and personal development. Dan reflects on overcoming a stutter, rebuilding his confidence after moving to the UK and discovering that being himself is essential when dealing with clients at every level.
