Investing in the Next Generation: Scott Schultz's Mission
EP 24
In this episode of the Pipe Dreams podcast, we had the pleasure of interviewing Scott Schultz, one of our shop guys at Kalenborn Abresist Corporation. Scott has been with us for 13 years and is currently the welding group leader. We discussed his background, hobbies, and family life, including his love for hunting and cooking. Scott also shared his involvement in organizing football dinners for the high school and junior high teams, highlighting the importance of fostering fellowship and community among the players.

We delved into the welding department at KAC and how Scott and his team ensure the quality of their welds through a meticulous cataloging process. We also touched on the supportive and family-like atmosphere at our company, where everyone pitches in and helps each other out.

Towards the end of the episode, Scott revealed his future aspirations of starting his own catering business and emphasized the importance of investing in the next generation. We wrapped up the conversation with a reminder to stay tuned for more episodes and upcoming surprises.

Overall, it was a delightful chat with Scott, and we are grateful for his contributions to our company and the positive impact he has on those around him.
