Carl Murawski is a man of many facets—and many boots. Sure, he's the world's largest YouTube star (and definitely go check out his excellent channel right here), and a man with a genuinely impressive perspective on so much of the fashion world. But he's also a licensed electrician who puts his footwear through more than 99% of people—and has some fantastic boot stories to tell from every step of his career.

We also get into some really important boot-thinky stuff: Carl's deeply thoughtful outlook on the blue collar gatekeeping around workboots, how he views buying boots and clothing that are built to last forever...and then having a ton of them that don't get worn enough, and of course, the three pairs he couldn't live without.

And be sure to check out Carl's YouTube page (after listening of course)!
