A Heartwarming Journey of Connection and Craftsmanship: Father, Son, and Soldering Gun Inspires Generations – Author Interview

Modern Day Book Report: Father, Son, and Soldering Gun: Stories That Forge Us by Steve Mycynek

It just goes to show you, you never know who you will meet in your day-to-day activities. Sometimes, those interactions will change your life.

Joe Stan, founder of Mr Home Guy, was recently working for Steve Mycynek on an install when they started talking about Steve's dad, Victor. Turns out, Victor worked in television and also as a handyman—the kind of guy who could fix just about anything. Steve gave his book, Father, Son, and Soldering Gun: Stories That Forge Us, to Joe to read.

Joe liked it. A lot.

He told me, "You've got to check this out. Talk to Steve. Write something about it." And that's how this blog post came to be.
