Second Acts and the ROI of Networking With Yates Hudson of Phoenix Fastener & Supply

Second Acts and the ROI of Networking With Yates Hudson of Phoenix Fastener & Supply

Author: Jason Bader, Distribution Team March 8, 2023 Duration: 36:46

Yates Hudson wasn't looking for a second act. After 32 years with the same company, he got one anyway. Yates owes his successful pivot to general manager at Phoenix Fastener & Supply, a division of Birmingham Fastener, to an interest in roles beyond the IT department for which he was hired fresh after graduation and networking outside the company. 

Jason chats with Yates about building a career in distribution one position at a time and cultivating meaningful relationships along the way.
