Episode Synopsis

In this week’s episode, Beau chats with Marc Levin who started an apprenticeship program called Welder Underground, in Brooklyn, New York. It aims to teach welding skills to young people aged 18 to 28. Unlike traditional schools, Welder Underground pays apprentices $15 per hour, eliminating the need for them to work multiple jobs to support themselves. The program provides a welcoming environment for those with no prior skills or training, emphasizing the importance of showing up on time, having a passion for learning, and a desire to use the skills for a positive purpose. The program currently involves building an 18-foot-tall sculpture designed by artist Eric Orr, which will be donated to Paris as a permanent reminder of the first Olympics to feature breaking as a sport. Connect with Marc & Welder UndergroundInstagram @welderundergroundWebsite https://www.welderunderground.org/Thank You To Our Trusted PartnersStop toxic welding fumes at the source with the Abicor Binzel xFume Pro https://foxly.link/ghoADWLearn more about the Thermacut EXTRA-FIRE - ⁠⁠⁠https://foxly.link/KnrZrx⁠⁠⁠Never miss a mark again with Markal Markers - https://foxly.link/oGn1YALearn more about the Everlast Welders Lightning MTS 225 -⁠ ⁠https://foxly.link/BKQPDW⁠⁠Connect with BeauWeld App @beaudiditInstagram @beaudiditweldingEmail - ⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Download the weld app today⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠linktr.ee/WeldDotCom⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
