Loved the podcast!! Very interesting for all audiences
Must listen!
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!

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.
