We’re looking forward to introducing you to Stan Sherwin. Check out our conversation below.
Stan, a huge thanks to you for investing the time to share your wisdom with those who are seeking it. We think it’s so important for us to share stories with our neighbors, friends and community because knowledge multiples when we share with each other. Let’s jump in: What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
Fishing! Especially when my father is with me or we get time to spend together to catch up and wet some lines. Being and adult and watching your father get older year after year can be tough especially when you live many states away..but being able to meet up and fish is absolutely priceless.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Stan Sherwin and my brand is Ss Custom Welding. As it says in the name Custom welding is a great way to describe my workmanship and style. I take a lot of pride in what I do and have been all over the country mastering my trade. From learning how to weld without any schooling and having many tips and tricks handed down from my father all of that has shaped my brand as a one of one brand
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. Who taught you the most about work?
My father without any doubt has, from watching his work ethic as a child and him making sure there was ALWAYS food on the table no matter what just helped mold me into the man I am today. Seeing not only his strong work ethic in the welding trade but also in life truly shaped me. From watching my father never quit or give up when times were extremely tough and watching him overcome hard times showed me that anything is possible if you want it bad enough.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
To have patience and know that everything will pass. Even the hardest of days there will be light on the other side of the dark. Make sure not to be to hard on yourself and no matter what always give glory to God
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. Is the public version of you the real you?
Absolutely! One thing about me is that I am as real as it gets. Love me or hate me I am who I am. I am extremely far from perfect and damn sure not scared to show my flaws. Only way to help the younger generation is to be completely real and vulnerable so that they can relate to you 100%
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
I hope people talk about how honest and caring I could be. I have always lived my life as treat your neighbor as thy would want to be treated so with that said try your best to love and respect everyone as human beings. This world can be extremely raw and unfiltered so make sure you talk to the janitor the same way you talk to the billionaire with kindness and compassion because you never know what battles someone is going through
