  • Even for the non-ladies

    I really enjoy listening to this podcast. I appreciate the niche approach and the desire to get more women involved in STEM, but don’t let that deter you from listening if you don’t fit into that category. Lots of great insight here and it is nice to hear it from outside of the male driven echo chamber that we find ourselves in the manufacturing industry at times. Two smart people here talking about important topics with some great guests.
