One of the great things about this hobby of model railroading is the ability to meet people from all walks of life and while we've talked with Andy Zimmerman before, it's always interesting to start the discussion talking about life on an aircraft carrier and around the world.  But after that, there was plenty of talk about T-Trak, the evolution of Kato Precision Railroad Models, advancements in DCC decoders over the years and some of the best model railroad benchwork money can buy. So grab yourself a big bowl of shredded locomotive wheels, a tall cool glass of warm sea water and enjoy!!

T-Trak is one of the easiest ways for any individual to get started in the hobby of model railroading. Building a small one-foot square module can easily help speed up the learning process of building a layout of any size, plus there's numerous groups to join where you can join with others to create sizeable layouts to run your favorite equipment. One of the most prolific T-Trak modelers is Andy Zimmerman who when he's not busy being head of the Standards and Conformance Department for the NMRA has built dozens of modules strictly for the enjoyment of participating.  Now he's here to tell us all about the T-Trak world record attempt at the NMRA's national convention coming up in 2026 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It's a great podcast and one we're sure you'll enjoy!!

There are hundreds and hundreds, probably over a thousand volunteers in the National Model Railroad Association. (NMRA) Each one working tirelessly to make this great hobby even better and one of our favorite department heads of the NMRA is Andy Zimmerman. Andy oversees the Standards and Conformance committee guiding an enthusiastic volunteer force of almost a hundred dedicated folks each of whom spend several hours a week making sure manufacturers produce products that will perform well right out of the box. There's also a lively chat about marketing and selling the NMRA. So grab yourself a big bowl of shredded conformance applications, a tall cool glass of battleship gray paint and enjoy!!

If you're gonna be in the Navy it might as well be on the deck of a carrier during the storm of the century and if you're gonna be a member of the NMRA, it might as well be as the Conformance and Standards Chairman. Our next guest is Ex-Navy and the now serving the NMRA with the same commitment and enthusiasm as he did when firing jets off the deck of a carrier. But after trying to explain T-Trak to the Evel Overlord he'd rather be tied up in the Port of Memphis, Tennessee. We first met Andy on AML's Wednesday night Patreon chats and after finding out from Gordie the NMRA prez he's running the Conformance and Standards department for the NMRA, it seemed only natural to have him stop by the ‘ole AML Studios for a more in-depth investigation of this model railroader. From filling the basement of his parents home with plywood to helping out with the Big Bend Model Railroad Association, Andy wears a lot of different hats and they all seem to fit just fine.

On this entertaining episode, Bill and Odell have an in-depth chat with entrepreneur Andy Zimmerman about his childhood on the streets of New Jersey to his business offerings in the Carolina's.  Along the way, this light-hearted, but serious conversation tackles topics like race, business and friendship.  Enjoy the ride http://www.thecommonground.show This podcast is produced by BG Podcast Network.

In this 227th episode of "Marketing Today," host Alan Hart interviews Andy Zimmerman, president of Frog, a company that assists leading businesses in designing, engineering, and bringing meaningful products to market. Zimmerman began his career as a writer traveling with the circus around Europe. "Life is just a circus," he says whenever someone asks him about his past. He likes to think of himself as a storyteller, inspiring clients to try new things and put themselves out there. Zimmerman believes it's essential to "make functional designs but also designs that touch people at an emotional level." We talk about how Frog has spearheaded HBO Max's creation, pushing to create a social platform that is "a combination of Spotify and Netflix." He then talks about how the experience industry has begun to blend and where that takes the industry in a future that includes COVID. "To be a leader, you need to show your vulnerability so that other people feel comfortable to show theirs," and Zimmerman tries to keep that in mind as he leads Frog into a new world! Highlights from this week's "Marketing Today": Andy traveled with the circus as an aspiring writer and novelist. 1:28 Having such a wide array of experiences has given Andy unique opportunities. 4:02 Andy has always fallen into the next new thing. 4:59 The fascinating 50-year history of Frog. 6:28 How the founder of Frog came to design for Steve Jobs and Apple. 8:15 Frog has been able to have a massive impact on the world while staying relatively small. 9:45 Creating HBO max and all the challenges that came with it. 10:15 HBO Max has added a social element to movie platforms. 11:20 Aligning with Tuesday Capital has been a mutually beneficial relationship. 12:45 Frog has been successful at separating themselves from their competition. 15:38 Service providers have begun to blend for multiple reasons. 17:53 Design touchpoints are beginning to blur. 20:10 COVID has led a massive push to digital and ARVR. 21:20 Definitions of on-site and off-site are beginning to change. 22:55 Andy had an experience that led to his spiritual awakening. 24:12 A casual conversation sparked Andy's search for spiritual insight. 25:30 How religion as a child can shape your beliefs later in life. 27:15 Don't ever lose who you are as you grow older. 28:50 Spotify has been the most impactful purchase for Andy this year. 29:45 Companies that are working to decrease the carbon footprint deserve credit. 31:23 Bellwether brings an eco-efficient solution to coffee-making that helps 3rd-world farmers. 32:50 The trend of digital dominance is threatening the world of digital marketers. 34:07 Discovery challenges that await the retail industry in the future. 36:59   Resources Mentioned: Frog Andrew Zimmerman Thomas J.
