S03 E6: Nathan Fulton, Chief Executive Officer at Fulton Technology
Meet Nathan Fulton
Nathan Fulton started with $5,000, a scrap yard, and the willingness to see what others missed. Today, his precision machining and data center infrastructure companies serve hyperscale operations and some of the largest manufacturers in the country. He’s brought two generations into the business, built a company around customer relationships rather than profit-chasing, and become a vocal advocate for free trade and the future of skilled manufacturing in America.
In this episode, we cover:
The $5,000 moment that became a company: seeing value in abandoned equipment
Why saying “yes” before you know how is a competitive edge that opens entire markets
The real economics of automation—why it’s labor liberation, not job destruction
