Robbie Mederos- If Life's leading You Down a Path You Don't Like, Change Direction & Pursue Your Dream!

Man this was a great episode with our special guest, Robbie Mederos! You'll hear in this episode that Robbie worked in a different field for over a decade and then one day decided enough is enough, quit that job and decided to pursue a career that had meaning and can bring happiness. Robbie is a second generation farrier that was taught by his dad is Bob Mederos who has had lots of success as well. There were so many details and tips Robbie provided throughout this episode that hit home for us on Forging Brains Podcast and we think you'll dig em too. Throughout Robbie's career he has focused in on the finer details to bring out that artistic side within himself but made sure not to skip over the fact that the basics need to be there for either sound horseshoeing, impressive shoemaking or competitive horseshoeing. Robbie has qualified for the American Farrier's Team and has competed internationally at the highest level as well. Let us know what your favorite tip was that Robbie shared with us in the comments!
