Recorded March 18, 2023 Kevin Mahaffey is not afraid to try new things and let the road lead where it leads. That last part is interesting because he's also a truck driver, where letting the road lead where it leads isn't always the best strategy! But seriously, we had a fun conversation about 3d printing, technology, and all kinds of other fun geeky stuff. Enjoy the chat!
