Raw Material is about the people behind the parts. The owners, machinists, operators, builders, and problem-solvers who carry the weight, make the calls, fix the messes, and keep the work moving. This podcast gets into the pressure, the failures, the lessons, and the wins that come with life in manufacturing. No fluff. Just real conversations about pushing people, not buttons.

Tom Brown came back for round two, and this time we tackled the question that could change everything: Should he buy a machine shop now, or go work in one first?
He has his eye on a highly certified, 40-person shop serving prime customers, but buyin... more

Jamie crushes it on here.
Love the narrative and scope!
I am a lady who found my passion and career in quality manufacturing. I have many times experienced having no voice even after creating a method that impacted the companies global reputation and operational excellence! They quietly dismissed my input and replaced me with an executive man that knew nothing of the year and a half of engagement with the real production teams.
Looking forward to more! Thank you to you and your wife!! We need more women in these fields... more
I love this new podcast. Jamie brings such an interesting and fresh perspective on machining podcasts. He’s clearly lived it and the first few episodes have been both informative and entertaining.
