    Episode 22: Operational Discipline: Doing the Small Things Right

    In this episode of The Pulp, we take a step back to refocus on the fundamentals. Converting margins don’t come from big, flashy changes—they come from precision, repeatability, and doing the small things right every day. February is the perfect time to reset expectations, reinforce good habits, and talk openly about where discipline shows up on the floor: setup accuracy, preventive maintenance, attendance reliability, and catching quality issues early before they turn into bigger problems.
