Joining me this week is Jacob Schofield a returning guest to the podcast. Last time Jake was on the show, he was stepping out of the pipe welding arena and jumping head first into structural steel with his Brother Jed. Since then, Jake has been focusing on building his new Company Impact Industrial and Fabrication. In this episode we talk about how he got his business from a two man operation to having 30+ employees and a handful of contractors to perform capital construction on piping system installations. Jake provides a lot of insight into the growing pains of the business as well as the benefits of his hard work paying off.
