E25 - Alicia Butty, Toronto, ON

This week on Forge Side Chat we chatted with the amazing @canadian_welder_girl , Alicia Butty. This girl is absolutely killing the instagram game by showing the world what she can do behind the welding helmet as well as what she does with the mask off.
Her metal art business has her busy making all sorts of different welded art.
She speaks about design and meeting customers requests. Remember failure is an option. Learn and move on.
Sometimes you loose a bit, but did you really?
We dive into how Alicia got herself into trades and where she plans to go with it. There is some convo about how the instagram game works and some other industry aspects with the welding game.
