Cutting the Hawaii trip a little short to avoid this winter storm of the century. There’s nothing better than finding the gate headed home with all the people that talk right. I can find my Knoxville folks by the vibes. I hope that made sense, I haven’t slept in 24 hours. What

We have to leave two days early to beat the winter storm headed our way on the mainland, but we succeeded in training three schools. What a whirlwind! So much more to come.

I’m considering the idea that maybe Americans, particularly conservatives, avoid talking about the working class not because we think we’re millionaires in waiting but because we don’t want to come across as Bolshevik rainbow people. But it’s an important topic!

My daughter works in a coffee shop and my husband is a supervisor in hospitality. This is not a dunk on those jobs, fwiw. It’s just that if the complaint is that the jobs don’t pay enough in manufacturing we have to compare apples to apples in terms of who is working these jobs.

I have posted two articles, not because of the article competition, but because I am taking advantage of the article competition to get more eyeballs on things that need more than 240-character thoughts. And thanks to missing my flight this morning due to TSA equipment breaking

If we do not rapidly reindustrialize, we will still live in a technological world but one we do not command and can't rapidly defend or rebuild. We will become permanently dependent on systems we do not govern. That dependence will continue to shape our politics, our diplomacy,

Monday morning my team flies out to Hawaii to join the efforts to reindustrialize the gateway to the Pacific. We’re launching curriculum in schools designed to ignite a passion for advanced manufacturing so that people can have a career they are proud of, contribute to the local

The main thing I’ve learned in 40-plus years as an entrepreneur is that nobody knows anything. Nobody knows if your idea is good or bad. You don’t know if it’s good or bad. You need to test your idea, trial it, collide it with reality. That’s the only way to learn.

@zachglabman @MFG_SMB @BrennanWoodruff Penn State and Ohio State most likely. I'll check in with those teams and get approval, then follow up with details. I bet we can host a mini-camp specifically for this.

I have an idea, reindustrialize friends. Come out to a bootcamp (METAL or ACE) and poast about it. Can offer a stipend. Doesn't have to be the full week. DM me to get the conversation started and see if we'd be a good collaborative fit.
