Resistance Is Just Fear in Disguise — Lean, Culture & People
From the shop floor to the boardroom, Kathy Miller spent 30+ years running operations at Rolls-Royce, GM, Delphi, and Parker Hannifin — including a $3B business with full P&L. Justin sits down with the Women in Manufacturing Hall of Famer to unpack her MORE framework — Meaning, Optimism, Relationships, Excellence — and why the "soft skills" leaders dismiss are actually the hardest performance levers on the floor.
Every conversation
is a working session.
Behind the mic with Keith Gammill, Director of Arkansas Manufacturing Solutions, on how the MEP Network quietly helps mid-market manufacturers scale — one of the candid, operator-to-operator conversations that define the show.
