Finding the Humor and Persevering Through the Plot Twists of Your Life, With Brittani of Birds Caps

Welcome back to another episode of the Industrial Tradition Podcast. Today on the show I am excited to talk to Brittani of Birds Caps, a stay-at-home mom, welder wife, and business owner all in one! In addition to being a mom, Brittani owns a small business making welding caps straight from her home, with her kids right in the mix of it all. She is an amazing inspiration; from being a young mom in welding school, to following her motherly intuition, Brittani believes that her decisions have led her to where she is in life today. Inside this episode we dive into Brittani’s journey and how her dream to become an underwater welder took a turn for what she believes to have saved her life! She also shares what it means to persevere, never giving up on what you were meant to do, while also understanding what is most important in your life and where you are investing your time. We end off the conversation with Brittani sharing her best advice with other small business owners, and learning what it means to find the humor in life. I just love hearing how a mom that has kids at home and a husband at work, is actively working towards her dreams, despite not having it all figured out quite yet.
