Episode 131 Justin Bolton
<p>In this episode, we interview another current student of ours, Justin Bolton. Justin is originally from the San Diego area—or as Dr. Williams likes to say, "LA"—and is currently studying Agricultural Education with an emphasis in Agricultural Mechanics at Fresno State. Unlike many of our students, Justin was never involved in FFA during high school, but his passion for working with his hands and learning technical skills led him to pursue ag mechanics in college. He's quickly found his place in the program, gaining hands-on experience in fabrication, welding, and helping with shop projects and events. Tune in to hear about Justin's unique path into agricultural education, his perspective as someone new to FFA, and his goals for the future in ag mechanics.</p> <p>If you have topic ideas or want to reach out to us our email is <a href= "mailto:SVGpodcast@gmail.com">SGRpodcast@gmail.com</a> </p> <p>Check out the podcast website for the latest episode in full length using the link <a href= "https://safetyglassesrequired.libsyn.com/">https://safetyglassesrequired.libsyn.com/</a> </p> <p>Check out our YouTube pages:<br /> <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAhqmupK6kwlJ1VK33fAw7Q">John</a> <br /> <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-my-jJMW521czVNgRevInw">Chris</a> </p>
