Author: Jason Bader, Distribution Team May 14, 2025 Duration: 35:02

Want to know a time-tested business secret? Commitment to the long game always pays off. Vic Wilson is a virtuoso practitioner of that adage. Decades before immigrating to the US and taking over as head of sales at voestalpine Böhler Welding, the Canadian-born Wilson was busy forging relationships across the country. 

Jason caught up with Vic to discuss what it means to build a successful 35-year career one connection at a time. The pair also explore the welding industry's challenges due to new US tariffs, the benefits of co-op membership, and the satisfaction of giving back.
