What I love about it is the way Noah blends the personal story of his guests with professional information
This show helped me make the decision to leave a corporation after 17 years and go and help and old friend with his machine tool dealership. The stories by the guests were inspiring. They told of their successes, failures and how they persisted and eventually triumphed. Most importantly, they loved what they did for a living. I’ve been in the machine tool business for 30 years and found myself Googling manufacturing methods that I had no idea about. Very informative and well presented. Great wor... more
Loved the podcast!! Very interesting for all audiences
While I understand the use of the platform as a venue to help people hear stories and relate to others with differences, it’s not what I’m here to listen to. There is plenty of better content elsewhere for self help, marriage counseling or transgender stories. I’m disappointed in how it’s lost its focus on machining and business.
Love this podcast. A lot of unique content about the manufacturing industry that isn’t in the media anywhere else. Highly recommend the episodes that highlight businesses in the industry and hearing their success stories, how they started and have grown to their current point. Keep up the great work!
