🎙 Todays guest
From heavy-fab in Kalgoorlie to running one of the cleanest vehicle fabrication workshops in the South West, Zac O’Bree has built Red Hot Engineering into one of WA’s most exciting custom tray and canopy operations.

We dive into the whole journey — leaving subcontracting behind, building systems, scaling the workshop, bringing on staff, learning to delegate, mastering content creation, and preparing for fatherhood.

This is a proper deep-dive into small business reality, fabrication culture, and the mindset behind building a premium custom brand from the ground up.
