NARSA/IDEA’S NEWS Solder & Soot


The New Year brings a new season of Solder & Soot: a NARSA/IDEA Podcast! We started this series a year ago hoping to record NARSA/IDEA history, connect members across the world, and discuss the big issues in our industry. At one point, “Solder & Soot” was one of the highest ranking business podcasts in Guyana! How amazing is that?


Hosts Mark Taylor and Bobby Duran and producer Linda Skoglund always have a blast recording each episode and look forward to another fantastic season. We want to thank all of our listeners who support our show!


Latest Episodes:


Episode 13: Frank Finger (Part 1) We are kicking off Season 2 of “Solder & Soot: A NARSA/IDEA Podcast” with a pioneer in the cooling systems world: Frank Finger, whose career spans nearly 80 years. Mr. Frank is not only a dear friend to both Bobby Duran and Mark Taylor, but he’s also a wealth of information to everyone in NARSA/ IDEA. In Part 1 of this interview, we learn about the early days of NARSA/IDEA in the 1950s, how the radiator industry has changed over time, and the piece of business advice that Frank’s father taught him that he will never forget.


Episode 14: Frank Finger (Part 2)


“Fortune isn’t made by the meek. It’s made by the brave.” - Frank Finger


We couldn’t fit all of Frank Finger’s wisdom into one episode, so we continue the conversation with the legend himself in Part 2. Expanding your business can be tricky, and you need the right strategy. In this episode, we hear from Frank about his move into distribution and how he developed the sales business. Frank also talks about his own exit strategy when he sold his company. Plus, hear why Frank Finger says NARSA/IDEA members have to be brave when it comes to business in this episode of “Solder & Soot.”
