Tom Patsis of Cold Hard Art joins the podcast to talk about the never-ending business of designing, fabricating, and building trophies for motorsports events. Tom sits down with hosts Josh Welton and Dan Davis at FABTECH 2023 in Chicago, and opens up about how he left his job at Don Schumacher Racing as a fabricator to start his own business, as well as the pros and cons of starting a small business. He also talks about winning the first season of Metal Shop Masters on Netflix and partnering with companies like Miller Electric, Starrett, FastCut CNC, PFERD North America, Trick-Tools, and others. Tom also discusses running a business with his wife, being father, the rewards of being a metal artist, and how he would fabricate an alien space craft.
