  • Heartfelt Intros, Networking Advice, Amazing Stories - What more could you ask for?

    Whenever this man Jim opens his mouth to introduce a guest, my body erupts into goosebumps because of the way he articulates his words. Jim has an amazing way that he conveys his messages that bring literal tears to my eyes, and it’s just the intro. He got me over here setting up a machine and wiping my tears.

    Through this podcast (and several others in the manufacturing/machining/metalworking community) I have met countless mentors in the field which have been giving me a leg up at work. Tha... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Justin Keskel | Do It Right, Then Do It Fast
Q: If your life were a movie, what genre would it be, and who would play you?
The guest envisions a character-driven story with a breakout performance from a talented actor who shows potential, and the opening scene would symbolize an unraveling process that triggers a reflection on his career path.
Kevin Tamanini | Stop Promoting the Best Machinist
Q: What is the role of succession planning for small to mid-sized manufacturers?
Succession should focus on readiness and potential to learn, not just who is currently performing well; small organizations can move faster, but they must establish clear criteria and development paths to prepare internal candidates for broader leadership roles.
Kevin Tamanini | Stop Promoting the Best Machinist
Q: How is leadership development actually implemented in manufacturing environments?
Through a combination of assessments, leadership simulations, coaching, and tailored development plans that emphasize credibility with the front line and the ability to adapt across roles and contexts.
Kevin Tamanini | Stop Promoting the Best Machinist
Q: What does industrial and organizational psychology mean in practical terms for a manufacturing company?
It blends performance management (the industrial side) with motivation, culture, and development (the organizational side) to help identify and build leaders who can balance execution with people leadership.
John Albers | Built to Serve, Built to Last
Q: How do you balance digital engineering with the human element on the shop floor?
Digital engineering is about a digital thread that connects design to build, while respecting the expertise of trades; the goal is to enable better decisions and efficiency without sidelining skilled workers.
