Ep 99 | A Lifetime of Grit & Wisdom | John Wendell Miller Reflects on 26 Years in Pipeline Industry

In this special episode of the Iron & Infrastructure Podcast, I had the absolute privilege of sitting down with John Wendell Miller, a man who's dedicated 26 years (9,533 days to be exact) to the pipeline industry. Wendell's stories are full of grit, humor, and valuable lessons, from securing impossible loads to narrowly avoiding highway disasters. His wisdom, loyalty, and the way he treated everyone like family made a lasting impact on me and many others. We talk about the ups and downs of blue-collar life, the importance of living every day to the fullest, and the camaraderie that keeps us all going. Wendell reflects on his career, his outlook on life post-retirement, and shares some unforgettable moments that made his time in the field so special. This episode is full of heart, and I'm honored to share Wendell's journey with you all.
