Episode Description
On Above & Beyond: Where Excellence Meets Elevation, host Jän Simon sits down with John Weiss—owner of ProBlast LLC and co-owner of Minuteman Press in Mesa—whose path from Anchorage, Alaska to Arizona is shaped by constant reinvention. John shares a childhood rooted in old Alaska history and hard lessons, early work from shoveling driveways to gold mining, and a career spanning longshoreman work, the Coast Guard, firefighting, and more. He explains why he makes fast decisions, what the Coast Guard taught him about risk, and how entrepreneurship changed his view of time, money, and success. John also discusses building ProBlast as a surface-prep/sandblasting company, adopting laser cleaning, partnering with his wife Devin in business, and evaluating opportunities by defining how much you’re willing to lose and what could take a business out.
