“Sonaspection has been keeping inspectors honest since 1980—by making flaws on purpose. This week, Jeremy Ring joins me to talk NDT, mentorship, and how controlled cracks build better inspectors.”   This week on the Arc Junkies Podcast, I’m joined by Jeremy Ring, President of Sonaspection. If you’re not familiar with Sonaspection, they’ve been training inspectors since 1980 by creating controlled flaws in real welded samples. Their work keeps inspectors sharp, welders accountable, and industries safe. Jeremy shares his journey from NASCAR engineering to NDT leadership, and we dig into how flawed specimens help inspectors build the confidence to make the right call in the field. We also talk about mentorship, the future of inspection with AI, the global shortage of inspectors, and why proper training is critical to preventing failures that could put lives at risk. If you’ve ever wondered how inspectors sharpen their skills—or why “known flaws” are the best teachers—this is an episode you don’t want to miss.   Arc Junkies Podcast: Instagram: @Arcjunkiespodcast YouTube: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/@arcjunkiespodcast9253">https://www.youtube.com/@arcjunkiespodcast9253</a> Email: <a href= "mailto:Show@arcjunkies.com">Show@arcjunkies.com</a> LinkedIn: <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-becker-45407b72?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_profile_view_base_contact_details%3BKipEwR3uQXCmCjaEfNzo6w%3D%3D"> https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-becker-45407b72?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_profile_view_base_contact_details%3BKipEwR3uQXCmCjaEfNzo6w%3D%3D</a> Arc Junkies Website: https://arcjunkies.com Arc junkies Merch: <a href= "https://shop.threadmob.com/arcjunkie/shop/home">https://shop.threadmob.com/arcjunkie/shop/home</a> Underground Metal Works: <a href= "https://www.underground-metalworks.com/">https://www.underground-metalworks.com/</a>   Friends of the Show: American Welding Society Conferences Pipeline Conference https://www.aws.org/community-and-events/conferences-and-events/pipeline/ Use ARCJUNKIES at Checkout and get a free gift at the event.   Outlaw Leather LLC <a href="https://outlawleather.com/">Outlawleather.com</a> Instagram: @outlawleatherusa Use ARCJUNKIES for 15% off all in-stock leather goods     Everlast Welders Instagram: @everlastwelders  YouTube: Everlast Welders         Online: <a href= "https://bit.ly/37xJstI">https://bit.ly/37xJstI</a> Use Codeword ARCJUNKIES at checkout to get upgraded to a free Nova Foot Pedal and TIG Torch with the purchase of any machine that comes with a stock foot pedal and TIG Torch.
