## Resource

Harrison Stone started his welding business at 24, but staying in the trade has meant learning how to work through serious health challenges, protect himself on the job, and build income beyond just welding. If you're a welder thinking about going out on your own, getting into mobile work, or trying to build a business that can survive real-life setbacks, this episode will give you a more honest picture of what that path looks like. In this episode, you’ll learn: • How Harrison went from welding school to running his own business in just a few years • Why safety, respirators, and pacing matter more when your health is already working against you • What mobile welders need to understand about overhead, helpers, tool costs, and jobsite prep • How Harrison uses social media to land brand deals and create income outside of fabrication jobs • Why younger welders should think beyond one paycheck and build multiple income streams early Harrison Stone is a welder, fabricator, and business owner who built his operation out of his grandfather’s old shop while navigating POTS and the physical demands of welding work. He has experience in TIG production welding, fabrication, mobile jobs, and content creation for welding and tool brands. His story stands out because it gives listeners a realistic look at building a welding business while dealing with health challenges, overhead, and the pressure to keep moving forward.
