I think it is significant to say, Titan and I did this on a handshake. We never put anything between us in writing until I left. That was my opinion of Titan. I well knew the risks of a new business, especially one as under capitalized as this, but I never doubted Titan's honor or integrity. He earned my respect and trust in him before he had any reason to care what I thought. Thank you, Titan!
Thanks Jeff… let’s set a date. Text me and let me know when works. Of course, please invite Elana also… Would love to see you both. I think 11am would be good… I will show you around and then we can have lunch. As always, thanks for everything.
I tried a business with a guy, invested heavily in it all on a hand shake. He bailed. I'm out all that money, except I got machines and willpower to succeed. Honor and Integrity is EVERYTHING!! You can't fake it, or buy it.
People should also know that helping others, and improving the industry, were an integral part of Titan's dream and vision for his company, even before he had a shop. He was giving his time to help at risk kids in the first weeks we opened, when every minute of his time was critical to the shop. Most of what he did was never seen by most, only those he helped or worked with.
You know, he states your vision was going among other things, and it just proves that even Titan was wrong in this situation, because your vision of helping create something and build something better had never been clearer when you put it all on the line. I believe it's what the kids these days would call real recognizing real. I'm small fry, converting a few machines in the home garage and teaching myself, and what you've helped create here is a blessing to myself and many others. Make sure you give yourself some credit in that each and every day and realize that so many people strive and want to make the world a better place, but you actually played a part in it.
Good deeds done when no one can see or pat you on the back are the only honest and unselfish kind. And Good on you for helping him up off his knees years ago.
@@TrustNotta Thank you but Titan was only on his knees to his God. My motives were less selfless than his, I wanted my retirement and I was worried my abilities were diminishing in a shrinking field (manual machining). Titan had already turned his life around with his faith and his strength of character. He had amazing talent, he was the best CNC machinist/programmer I had ever seen, and was doing some remarkable things for others. I took a chance on the business but I had great confidence in Titan. He is the story, I held his coat. If you have followed Titan you may know he also gives thanks and great credit to his amazing wife, Gina. She brings out his best qualities and gives him moral support we all need when tested.
My first production machine arrived this morning after 5 years in business. No credit. I own everything I have. My harley, my jeep, my tooling....and I live on a couch in my tiny shop office. Tomorrow I have the biggest job meeting of my life. Make or break moment and I'm going head first. Nothing to lose. Let's go boys!
@@TrustNotta got this email about 4pm Monday "Zach, et al., I apologize, but based on some changes in this program that we just became aware of, I need to postpone this review meeting/site visit. I will reschedule at a later point when we have confirmed some of the updates. I appreciate your understanding." ...really hoping this isnt a nice way of going a different direction. I'm holding onto hope that they just need to make some changes before the meeting but I'm nervous about the economy etc right now making them weary about such a big purchase.
Hell of a story! As a life long machinist CNC and manual, I actually started on screw machines, and a former apprentice training officer I love Titans enthusiasm for the job, I told my apprentices “if you don’t love it go do something else”. The fact that machinists go home after a shift and watch videos on machining shows we’re in the right job. You deserve your success brother.
Wow! I first started watching you because I needed information on the cnc craft. I refurbished a discarded Seiko pick-and-place and turned it into a gantry type cnc machine. Your machines were so far out of my reach I could only watch the chips fly and drool. I so appreciate your story! I so appreciate your emphasis on ethics and character! Nice job sir! Nice job!
I really love what they did to you, and how you reward them. I also want to thank you for those precious free tutorials on CNC Academy, its a blessing 😁. Thank you for your precious time 😁
just bought another broken CNC machine to rebuild !! up to 3 total, just finished 1, #2 is 75% done, #3 will be a electrical retrofit. your story keep inspiring me, I'm doing this all cash out of pocket, we already have small jibs starting and trying to triple footprint in next 12 months. thank you, after what lifes put me through these last few years, I needed to gear this !!
G’day Titan. Such an inspirational story and straight from the heart. Love what you have accomplished in life mate. Thanks for sharing with us. Cheers Aaron (DCT from Downunder).
Titan definitely has the greatest story of how really hard work and perseverance can pay out in spades! He's a great man and everyone wishes they could do what he has done!
I needed this story tonight. I needed to be reminded that I can do it, that my plan is solid. Some new equipment arrived today and even though I paid for it upfront I still got nervous and began to doubt I made the right decision. Thank you! I got it
Titan. Just love what you shared. I'm a young guy in New Zealand. And I have 4 cnc machines that I retrofitted with new controllers. 2 cnc mills 1 cnc lathe. And a 8m long cnc router. I Do a lot of robotics and fun stuff.plus all the standard job shop stuff. Also love Jesus! So similar to you in many ways. Anyway just want to say that your story is cool inspiring and God bless.
Oh, your testimony touched me. I can hear it in your voice and by the words you use, that you are very thankful, and at the same time give greetings to those that helped you out. That's strong man, giving praise and showing gratitude. I'm pretty sure that you do the same to our Lord that gave you life and many gifts. Best regards from Norway
He certainly is an inspiration!! Since I started my engine rebuild several months ago, the need for having an understanding of all the critical clearances, knowing all the different systems and how they work together, and working with the local machine shops have really sparked an interest in the machining field. I've always been a mechanic and fabricator from nothing type, so taking raw material and turning it into something functional, is always rewarding. Glad I found Titans of Cnc, awesome channel!!
Been watching this channel for some time now...honestly always have been impressed by Titan and what he's done with his life to this point, this story...raw and emotional. Some people took a risk with him at the start but damn what he's done to this point is just impressive. He got help when he needed it...and now he pays it forward helping others learn and get better, keep up the good work folks!
That is a fantastic story. Realistically not possible for everyone else. That was a actual miracle if the whole story is real. Love your vids TiTan! I’m a junior machinist and would love to have a least one CNC machine that I can get started with.
Sir, God bless you for your inspirational story. As a follower on your site, I also extend a big thank you and God Bless to the two gentlemen in your life who have stepped out of their way in trusting you and supporting you in your plans. Thanks and God Bless for a very Inspirational story and to see we do have very good people with a heart to help. David from 🇵🇬 Papua New Guinea
You are a beautiful human being Titan.... I have been following your channel for maybe 3 years now and am constantly impressed with you and your outlook... I wish someone could see the same things in me.... I am not a machinists but I have a Interest in some aspects of machining... I really enjoy your ethics and the work you do... take care and keep spreading your philosophy and greetings from New Zealand
I grew up hating competition, but the older I get, the more I realize what appalls me is people being competitive by stepping onto others for their relative benefit. So many believe competition is about defending yourself, but that's not a positive vision to aspire to. Hearing this story gave me hope that people one has to compete with professionally can still be good at heart.
I wish I knew you Titan. You are the kind of man that all my sweat and years of dedication to the business, my loyalty to the owner would have meant something, you are deserving of that kind of loyalty. Just retired three and a half months ago. I worked the last thirty two years for the same employer who is ABSOLUTELY UNGRATEFUL. Everything handed down to him, a person of no empathy or understanding of people, the exact opposite of you. Thanks for sharing your story, you are a great man, I can see that without knowing you.
That was literally the smartest, wisest, most honorable thing I've ever heard in my life period!" You gain the meaning of life by helping other people rise" Titan
This was an incredible start to my morning, while starting my workday. Thanks Titan, Jeff and community. Titan's contribution in just these videos has help me start my small cnc/prototype business. I left the cubicle as a mechanical designer to buy a small cnc so I could have a retirement gig and place to work with my 11 year old son and God is blessing this all, especially when I see vids like this last one. We need to stick together and make American production what it used to be. Thanks again.
This video explains why an expert like you would teach all these trade secrets. It’s about uplifting others, paying back those that believed in you, all the things im trying to incorporate into my business practice, amazing work!
Hi titan, I am from am 23yrs old, I applied many time for job in your. The stituation you explained in this vedio, even I am seeing my self in same situation too. That strong believe which you had before in your struggling days, that strong I have now for myself. But belongs to a middle class family, finance becomes a big obstacle 😔. Its my life biggest dream to work with your team. No matter even if i get a chance to start job as a machine cleaner 😃😄.
I think that is called an "angel investor" in real estate. The people that have big bucks and not a place to invest it, they give loans to people in need of loans at a higher interest rate than a bank. Definitely something useful for helping businesses start.
Thank you wild women. It was a pure treat to finally hear ypur side of the storey. Rest in peace wild man. You are truely missed.. stay safe and take care everyone
im not a machinist, im a hotrodder, and im not one for inspirational or motivational bullshit, but your videos hit me in the right places. thank you sir.
Awesome, Dude! I think that when you love what you do every day, you just brigth above people who just do for obrigation, just becouse they need to pay their bills.
Amazing content guys, Jeff and Titan you guys are legends, very inspiring. I’m just getting into my first real machine here and your tales of starting up are gold for guys like me.
I've been building my shop for a few years with cash out of my paycheck. It's not much but I've just now got to a point where I can do some services for people. Just a bridge port a busted lathe a 3d printer and home built foundry. I don't know how far I'll go, but I know I'll never stop climbing so long as theres a mountain there the climb. Whatever it takes.
This is a great inspiration!! I can totally relate to this! Granted im not a mechanist. But im a vw/audi tech. and I opened my shop up with nothing, had no credit couldnt get anything on credit just like titan. I know the struggles you had to go through. Its one of the hardest things you can do. But if you have people that believe in you, that can help you make your dream come true it makes the struggle well worth it.
I wish I heard some of these stories before I chose my path as a man and my career. It's like having a 2nd father or mentor. This is food for life. Thank you, I'm gonna send this to my grandkids.
This. ALL of this. Timing. And people willing to take a shot on you because of YOU. He saw something in you that was worth his investment. God I love this.
What an amazing story, thanks for sharing it with us all! While it is quite harder to pull off a similar feat in my country due to many reasons, it still inspires me to work towards being my best self, and maybe someday, my own boss.
you need to write a book on your life on how you make it big and the American dream (with hard work of course) or may be a book on CNC machining thingy ... really.
BRO!… I’m 6:33 in and I’m literally chokin up over a fuckin RUclips video. This strikes a cord with me. I had a messed up childhood. Probation since 11yo, jail at 13, adult prison at 17, 12year sentence at 21. I got out at 27 with a chip on my shoulder and a looong wrap sheet so I was limited for job opportunities. Got tired of working shit jobs so I started landscaping with a pickup truck, open trailer and an old scag mower my father let me use. Fast forward 10 years. Slowly but surely I built a successful Tree Removal business with an immaculate reputation, close to 200 reviews on the company FB page and all are 5 star, employees, an amazing woman, we just bought a house, new trucks, toys I don’t need , everything I could ask for in life and all without selling drugs like the scumbag I was when I was a kid. I don’t know you, but I’ve walked some of the same path that you’ve walked. I’m happy for you bro. Hard Work Pays Off!
Back in 2000 I started a business with $40,000. In my first year I had $1,000,000 in sales. In 2001 the year was shaping up to be a $3,000,000 in sales year, but 9/11 came, I went from 36 customers to 6 customers overnight. I needed $30,000 to rebuild my clientel, hiring sales reps to go knocking on doors. I asked friends, competitors, family, even venture capitalists. No one would lend me the money. I guess no one believed in me. Good story Titan.
Titan. I’m 37 , an only child , I’ve got $50k from life insurance after my father passed last year after being his sole caretaker for 12 years. I lost my father and stepfather in the matter of 4 months last year. Damn near homeless after dad passed. Pandemic took my job industry. I’m pretty much starting my life over. How do I get into the CNC industry / what direction to take. I’ve got the drive and the determination, but not the destination. Or as I sometimes say. I’ve got the car and the driver , I just don’t know where to go.
Devour all the RUclips videos I have ever done and start going through the building blocks on my free academy.titansofcnc.com Join the titans of CNC academy Facebook group and learn from everyone. Many have started careers from doing exactly this.
I think it is significant to say, Titan and I did this on a handshake. We never put anything between us in writing until I left. That was my opinion of Titan.

0:20 Lol, that is literally my weekly convos trying to start up a small CNC shop. "I got nuttin."
I was a manual machinist for 20 years . That's the best Shop Story I've ever heard .
This video explains why an expert like you would teach all these trade secrets. It’s about uplifting others, paying back those that believed in you, all the things im trying to incorporate into my business practice, amazing work!

The world needs more people like this! Also can we just take a second to look at the size of those chips mid way through!¡!¡ 😳😳
You are a good man Titan. I appreciate you sharing you life experiences.
I've heard this story before in another video. That said, I listened to it again because it's such an inspiring account. Keep doing the good Titan!
For some reason I always get something in my eye when Titan tells his backstory.
Yeah, same as me... It's called tears ;)
Man that was awesome success story.
im not a machinist, im a hotrodder, and im not one for inspirational or motivational bullshit, but your videos hit me in the right places. thank you sir.

You need to get on Joe Rogan and tell your story
Would love to
Or valuetainment
I sent an email to the producer to show to interest in having Titan on the show.
I so badly want to get back in the machining field but it has been so long. I haven't touched a lathe since 2009. That's where my passion is.
I've been building my shop for a few years with cash out of my paycheck. It's not much but I've just now got to a point where I can do some services for people. Just a bridge port a busted lathe a 3d printer and home built foundry. I don't know how far I'll go, but I know I'll never stop climbing so long as theres a mountain there the climb. Whatever it takes.
This is a great inspiration!! I can totally relate to this! Granted im not a mechanist. But im a vw/audi tech. and I opened my shop up with nothing, had no credit couldnt get anything on credit just like titan. I know the struggles you had to go through. Its one of the hardest things you can do. But if you have people that believe in you, that can help you make your dream come true it makes the struggle well worth it.
Love the story brother. Very touching and than you for sharing. Much love
I'm the same type of person as you Titan. I love to see people rise up. ❤
Stories like this make me keep going. It’s gonna be a good day today Titan. Thanks for the motivation.
I wish I heard some of these stories before I chose my path as a man and my career. It's like having a 2nd father or mentor.
This is food for life. Thank you, I'm gonna send this to my grandkids.
Respect to you .You are a man of your word rare these days
You are an inspiration... your talent is God given ... respect to you Sir
This. ALL of this.
Timing. And people willing to take a shot on you because of YOU. He saw something in you that was worth his investment. God I love this.
You're always inspiring, Titan!
I love your give back attitude!
Thank you! :)
This is an amazingly inspirational story.
What a fantastic story. Thank you.
Damn Titan, You were truly blessed man!
"You gain the meaning of life from helping other people RISE".
Very inspiring, keep up the good work!!
Beautiful story
Get it homie...
Let your works shine bro .
Great story. Wish i had a boss like you. You seem able to identify with others shoes. Thats a rare characteristic.
That's an amazing story/journey!! God's really blessed you man, and how he opened up those doors, truelly Amazing!!
thank you brother
Currently opening my shop, it’s hard as hell for sure. For example, just getting insurance for the business 😂
What an amazing story, thanks for sharing it with us all! While it is quite harder to pull off a similar feat in my country due to many reasons, it still inspires me to work towards being my best self, and maybe someday, my own boss.
Powerful story brother lot of respect to just hear it ..May the Lord bless you and your fAmily ..🙏🙏
Man that’s crazy much respect
What a great story. Thank you 🙏
Very inspiring! I'm hoping to start my own shop someday soon as well. Keep on killing it Titan!
very good video titans
I'm also a machinist from Germany, wish my boss could be like you 😕
i need to watch these before bed
they feel so slow that it makes me tired
Beautiful. Bless you man
So inspiring! Keep pushing!
Amazing inspiration!!! Even if i dont know you. Amazing titan. When my company succeeded i will think of your words 4sure 💪
Very powerful. Extremely motivating. Thank you.
Amazing story, people and company
you need to write a book on your life on how you make it big and the American dream (with hard work of course) or may be a book on CNC machining thingy ... really.

Got tired of working shit jobs so I started landscaping with a pickup truck, open trailer and an old scag mower my father let me use. Fast forward 10 years. Slowly but surely I built a successful Tree Removal business with an immaculate reputation, close to 200 reviews on the company FB page and all are 5 star, employees, an amazing woman, we just bought a house, new trucks, toys I don’t need , everything I could ask for in life and all without selling drugs like the scumbag I was when I was a kid. I don’t know you, but I’ve walked some of the same path that you’ve walked. I’m happy for you bro. Hard Work Pays Off!
Knowing the right people go a far way!!
Back in 2000 I started a business with $40,000. In my first year I had $1,000,000 in sales. In 2001 the year was shaping up to be a $3,000,000 in sales year, but 9/11 came, I went from 36 customers to 6 customers overnight. I needed $30,000 to rebuild my clientel, hiring sales reps to go knocking on doors. I asked friends, competitors, family, even venture capitalists. No one would lend me the money. I guess no one believed in me. Good story Titan.
What happened in the aftermath? Did it work out or not so much?

Titan. I’m 37 , an only child , I’ve got $50k from life insurance after my father passed last year after being his sole caretaker for 12 years. I lost my father and stepfather in the matter of 4 months last year. Damn near homeless after dad passed. Pandemic took my job industry. I’m pretty much starting my life over. How do I get into the CNC industry / what direction to take. I’ve got the drive and the determination, but not the destination. Or as I sometimes say. I’ve got the car and the driver , I just don’t know where to go.
