Precision Tube Laser's metal fabrication shop for manufacturing's next generation

The founder and owner of Las Vegas-based Precision Tube Laser, Jordan Yost, joins us to talk about his approach to building a metal fabrication shop for the next generation. Yost opens up about how he went from owning a car rental company to starting his own manufacturing business with a focus on tube fabrication and laser cutting capabilities. He also discusses unique challenges and opportunities of being a manufacturer in Las Vegas, hiring a workforce younger than 40 years old, growing a customer base through social media, partnering with TRUMPF, and training machine operators with zero metalworking experience.
