About this listen

 In Part 2 of our chat with Parker Huncilman, we get into what happened after the deal was done. From day-one chaos to tough conversations with employees, Parker walks us through what it really looked like to merge two long-standing fab shops. We talk through lessons learned, missteps along the way, and how they worked to bring two teams together without losing what made each one special. If you’re thinking about a merger—or in the middle of one—this is the kind of honest conversation that’s hard to come by. Episode Highlights: [01:35] – Parker shares how he tried to keep the team grounded when the big announcement hit. [06:50] – What the new ownership setup actually looks like—and what it means for the Huncilman legacy. [10:22] – The team talks money transparency, hard conversations, and why hiding things never works. [16:40] – When things finally started to click between both sides—and what made the difference. [21:15] – Lessons learned about rolling out change without overwhelming your people. [28:05] – Parker’s advice to other shop owners who might be looking at a similar path.
