Episode Details

My buddy Karl Frentz is an awesome human being. He works for Tormek in marketing and uses his film degree to help make great short docs and content for Tormek. We had an amazing time catching up and talking about our time in Sweden, good business practices, the role of social media and the future. We had some Father talk as Karl is a new Dad and even made NBA predictions. Let’s hope I’m wrong. Karl’s the man and if you’re going to Blade Show this year stop by the Tormek booth and say Hello! That’s the Tormek Way!! Many thanks! GF
