In this latest episode, brought to you by @veryableops, @Matt_Horine speaks with Tom Welge, CEO of @GilsterMaryLee, and Troy Compardo, CEO of the @BooneCenter, about workforce innovation and how manufacturers are expanding participation by creating new pathways into manufacturing for neurodiverse individuals and adults with developmental disabilities. The conversation examines how inclusive workforce strategies, community partnerships, and real operational needs are coming together to unlock new sources of labor while improving retention, culture, and performance. What you'll learn: ☑️ How Gilster-Mary Lee built and scaled a neurodiverse workforce initiative ☑️ The role the Boone Center plays in connecting individuals to manufacturing jobs ☑️ Why labor shortages are driving manufacturers to rethink workforce participation ☑️ How neurodiverse employees are succeeding in demanding production environments 🎧 Full episode out now 👉 Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/u-s… 👉 Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/704Rnv… 👉 YouTube: youtu.be/ADBULcwBdkc

🚨 Episode 49 Just Dropped! Manufacturers today generate more operational data than ever before. Yet many still struggle to turn that information into action. In this latest episode, brought to you by @veryableops, @Matt_Horine speaks with Derik Ellis (CEO), and Molly Lenty (President), of Vessel about why operational improvement efforts often stall before the real constraint is identified. The discussion examines how small and mid-sized manufacturers adopt new technologies, why diagnosing operational challenges is often the missing step before major initiatives, and how consultants and MEPs help manufacturers identify improvement opportunities. It also explores how aggregated operational insights could help inform workforce development and regional manufacturing strategy. Key themes: ☑️ Why technology adoption has historically been uneven across manufacturing ☑️ Why diagnosing operational problems must come before major system or process changes ☑️ The role consultants and MEPs play in helping manufacturers identify improvement opportunities ☑️ How aggregated operational insights could strengthen manufacturing ecosystems 🎧 Listen now: 👉Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/6PH7oM… 👉YouTube: youtu.be/D7Am2qgSxrc?si… 👉Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/u-s…

🚨 Episode 48 Just Dropped! The U.S. consumes roughly one-third of the world’s nitrile gloves and produces almost none of them. In this latest episode, brought to you by @veryableops, @Matt_Horine sits down with @scotttmaier, CEO of Blue Star NBR, to examine what rebuilding domestic glove production would actually require. The discussion focuses on the scale and capital needed to compete globally, how decades of offshoring erased domestic depth, and what it means when both finished supply and key raw materials are concentrated overseas. It connects glove availability directly to semiconductor fabs, pharma production, rare earth refinement, magnet manufacturing, and battery assembly — sectors where glove supply interruptions have real operational consequences. What you’ll learn: ☑️ Why greenfield industries struggle to attract private capital without market certainty ☑️ How hospital procurement economics shape domestic viability ☑️ The difference between price efficiency and supply security ☑️ What a realistic domestic safety valve would look like ☑️ How workforce development fits into rebuilding industrial capacity 🎧 Listen now: 👉 Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/u-s… 👉 Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/4SijlR… 👉 YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=KjOskh…
