The CWB Association brings you a weekly podcast that connects to welding professionals around the world to share their passion and give you the right tips to stay on top of what’s happening in the welding industry. Subscribe, listen, and stay connected to the people who keep the world welded together.

Sean “Birdman the Welder” Bird has carved out a career in welding on his own terms. From custom car builds to Boilermaker shutdowns, and now running a one-man architectural metal shop, Sean shares what it really takes to navigate different corners of the trade without losing your footing. At the core of this episode is something deeper than weld processes and shop setups. Sean marks nine years sober and speaks openly about mental health, addiction recovery, and rebuilding a life alongside a career. It’s an honest look at trade culture, pressure, pride, and the quiet strength it takes to choose a better path. This episode is a reminder that welding is more than square footage or follower counts. You get to choose the work that matters and build a life strong enough to hold it.
