One of the questions I think about constantly is what actually makes a machine shop valuable. Not just today, but five, ten, or even twenty years down the road. It's easy to point to machines, revenue, or backlog, but the real drivers of long-term value usually run much deeper. That's exactly why I wanted to sit down with Jamie Goettler, Chief Revenue Officer of BTX Precision, for this episode of Machine Shop Mastery. BTX Precision is one of the fastest-growing advanced manufacturing platforms in the country. Jamie brings a rare blend of perspectives to the conversation. With more than two decades at MSC Industrial Supply, deep experience in innovation and machining technology, and now a front-row seat to platform growth through acquisition, he understands what separates shops that simply survive from those that truly thrive. In our conversation, we dig into what BTX looks for when acquiring companies. We talk about why capability, cleanliness, people, and culture matter more than ever. We also cover the metrics that actually signal business health, including book-to-bill, customer concentration, technology adoption, and employee engagement. Jamie shares how BTX balances scale with continuity, keeping individual business units intact while supporting them with capital, leadership, and shared resources. We also explore where manufacturing is headed next. From the real inflection point happening in additive manufacturing to the growing importance of cybersecurity and CMMC compliance, this episode covers issues every shop leader needs to be thinking about right now. Whether you plan to sell your business someday or simply want to build a stronger one, this conversation offers practical insight into how sophisticated manufacturers are positioning themselves for the future.

The "Long Tail" Logistical Supply and Heroic Resupply Missions — James Holland — Holland explains the critical "Long Tail" logistical support infrastructure that sustained the regiment's operational capability despite mounting casualties during rapid mechanized advance into Belgium. Holland describes the eccentric personality of Baron Lord Leigh, a regimental officer whose unconventional behavior masked genuine leadership capability.

What if innovation wasn't reserved for a handful of "geniuses" in hoodies and turtlenecks? What if every person in your organization could solve real problems in bold new ways? Today's episode of Leveraging Thought Leadership, I'm joined by Richard Braden to explore how to democratize innovation inside the enterprise. We dig into his practical framework from "Innovation-ish: How Anyone Can Create Breakthrough Solutions to Real Problems in the Real World" which was co-authored with Tessa Forshaw to challenge the myth of the lone genius. Innovation stops being a mysterious black box and becomes a repeatable, teachable capability across the business. Rich explains why most organizations over-invest in "innovation theater" and under-invest in mindset. Instead of obsessing over yet another step-by-step process, he focuses on the mental shifts that actually drive breakthrough thinking. From "shopping" vs. "buying" mindsets to the difference between learning, iterating, and executing, you'll get language you can use with your teams tomorrow. We also unpack Rich's hybrid model for innovation: part consulting, part capability-building. You'll hear how a global quick-service restaurant brand redesigned its supply chain using cross-functional teams—everyone from restaurant crew to executives—working on real projects over nine months. The result? Tangible business outcomes and an enduring lift in problem-solving capability, long after the external experts left. Rich shows that innovation isn't just about moonshots. It's about orbit shots, cloud shots, roof shots, and jump shots—small, targeted changes that add up to massive impact. Imagine your finance team "innovating" the expense-report process so it's fast, accurate, and painless. That may not land you on the cover of a magazine, but it can unlock time, energy, and engagement across the organization. If you're tired of one-off workshops, "innovation labs" off in a corner, or expensive programs that don't stick, this conversation with Rich Braden offers a better path. You'll learn how to embed innovation in day-to-day work, build your own obsolescence into client engagements, and turn innovation from a slogan into a core competency. Three Key Takeaways: • Innovation is a teachable skill. It's not the domain of lone geniuses; with the right mindsets and language, you can help people across the organization solve real problems in new ways. • Mindset beats methodology. Most organizations over-index on processes and "innovation theater," but sustainable breakthroughs come from shifting how people think, learn, and experiment in their day-to-day work. • Capability-building must be tied to real work. The most effective innovation programs blend consulting with hands-on projects, so teams deliver tangible business outcomes and build enduring problem-solving muscles at the same time. If this conversation on democratizing innovation resonated with you, your next listen should be the episode with Michele Zanini. In that one, we take the same core ideas—moving beyond "innovation theater," distributing problem-solving across the organization, and building real capability instead of one-off programs—and apply them to dismantling bureaucracy and unleashing talent at scale. Listen to both episodes together and you'll get a powerful one-two punch: a practical framework for everyday innovation, plus a blueprint for removing the structural and cultural barriers that keep your people from using it. If you're serious about making innovation everyone's job—not just a select few in a lab—queue up the Michele Zanini episode next.
The 'D' Got Deleted: How VC Funding Broke the Innovation EcosystemLast week's whitepaper isn't production-ready. But someone's already pitching it to your board. Kence Anderson has deployed 100+ autonomous AI systems for Fortune 500 companies—and watched venture capital create a research-to-PR pipeline that skips development entirely. The 'D' in R&D got deleted. Hype cycles got amplified.Rule-based AI—systems encoding expertise as decision logic—was the 1980s breakthrough. Overhyped, then abandoned when it couldn't do everything. But engineers kept deploying it where codified rules excel: industrial controls, diagnostics, compliance. It's running critical infrastructure today. Every AI wave follows this arc. For leaders, the lesson: stop asking which technology wins. Ask what each does well—and build modular systems that match capabilities to tasks. The fix: if AI can learn, someone should teach it the right way. Machine teaching—goals, scenarios, strategies—creates modular agents that compound capability through orchestration.Paradigm Shifts:
Overview: We dive into the inspiring stories of Dr. Fernandez and Dr. Gigi Magan family medicine physicians and co-founders of Alma First. We explore the challenges they observed during the pandemic with digital health disparities in underserved communities and how those moments sparked their mission to promote digital health equity. Together, we discuss the importance of digital health navigators, training pre-health students through equity-centered curricula, and practical ways they introduce technology—like continuous glucose monitors and patient portals—to communities often overlooked by innovation. We also reflect on the need for culturally sensitive, accessible healthcare tech, the impact of provider engagement, and how we can keep evolving our patient education to truly meet people where they are. Three Takeaways: Pre-Health Students as Equity ChampionsBoth founders emphasized how involving pre-health students in tech conferences and training them in equity-focused digital health prepares a new cohort of clinicians to challenge assumptions and advocate for inclusivity. They describe how students bring critical questions to tech companies about accessibility for people with disabilities and non-English speakers, shaping future innovations. Barriers to Patient Portal Usage Are Often Systemic, Not PersonalMany Spanish-speaking patients reported not using digital portals simply because they never received the access codes, not due to a lack of interest or skill. This points to systemic communication and support failures more than patient limitations—an insight that reframes “adoption problems” as fixable gaps in process. Top-Down Tech Solutions Risk Leaving Communities BehindBoth guests highlighted the disconnect between innovations showcased at conferences and real-world community needs. Tools often get developed in isolation from those who will use them.

The pace of change has outgrown old PMO playbooks—so it's time for a new one. In this future-focused episode, we unpack five key trends reshaping the PMO by 2026 and share practical ways to shift from performative reporting to real value delivery.We explore what it means to reframe the PMO as a capability architect—moving the conversation from headcount to a heat-mapped view of people, process, tools, and decision flow. That simple shift helps expose gaps, justify investment, and prioritise work that actually reduces friction.From there, we dive into the PMO's evolving role as an AI custodian—setting guardrails, lifting data quality, and embedding just enough training to make AI both useful and safe. You'll hear real examples of where AI can save time right now, from summarising risks to drafting reports—without compromising trust or confidentiality.We also look at how PMOs translate change into action using microchanges—small, focused wins delivered quickly to build trust and momentum—alongside their growing role as regulatory integrators coordinating risk, compliance, and delivery in increasingly complex environments.And finally, we come back to simplification. From minimum viable governance to smarter intake and prioritisation, we offer a toolkit to help PMOs cut noise, clarify accountability, and deliver at the speed of strategy.
A video post!The Miro board used in the video can be accessed here:https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVJi6NCs8=/?share_link_id=616280785572(PS: Miro, I'd love another sweatshirt!)This framework explains why tools help in some situations and fail in others by grounding everything in the current state of a behavior. Every important behavior in an organization sits somewhere on a spectrum: it might be purely aspirational, weakly practiced, inconsistent, friction-heavy, fully stable, actively suppressed, or not even clearly defined. Each of these states is held back by different blockers—lack of clarity, lack of skills, lack of time, workflow friction, political risk, or social norms—and each requires a different kind of support. Using a behavior-design lens like COM-B, the idea becomes simple: tools only work when they address the real blocker. Sometimes their job is to scaffold early steps and turn aspiration into practice. Sometimes it is to remove operational drag from a behavior that already exists. Sometimes it is to create shared visibility and reduce political friction. Tools matter, but how they matter depends entirely on the behavioral context they are dropped into.Show Notes (AI Generated) The Core QuestionWhen do tools matter, and how do they matter?Answer: It depends entirely on the current state of the behavior you want to see.The Seven Behavior StatesA. Normal States* Aspirational / Not RealizedOnly talked about. No real practice.* Weakly RealizedPeople agree it matters and occasionally try it, but it gets displaced by urgency and habit.* Partially Realized / InconsistentHappens in pockets. Conflicting interpretations.

Operators with 30 years of pattern recognition leave for competitors. Engineers carrying legacy system intelligence depart. Everyone understands the risk. Few solve the execution: Systematically extracting tacit intelligence that experts can't articulate because it operates below the conscious threshold.Dr. Refiloe Mabaso and Wisdom Ndashe architected what many struggle to build - knowledge-capture systems that function independently of voluntary participation. At ATNS, harvesting is mandated by policy and embedded in workflows. Their "Legends and Beneficiaries" program identifies critical expertise five years before departure, mapping tacit intelligence to next-generation operators through structured protocols. The execution breakthrough: embedding capture into SOPs makes retention automatic. Travel with Purpose demonstrates strategic reach - converting unaccounted expenditures into documented intelligence acquisition with measurable ROI. Cost centers become intelligence operations.Paradigm Shifts:
The Bright Method Podcast: Realistic Time Management for Working Women
A few weeks ago, someone sent me a quote on Instagram that knocked my socks off. Let's dig into it. Links you might enjoy:
This week's guest tells us that in the United States between 2020 and 2024, there were 115 separate billion dollar disasters. The take away? In the resilience industry, we can no longer afford to be reactionary. Hello everyone and welcome to episode 211 of the Resilient Journey Podcast, presented by Anesis Consulting Group! This week we're joined by Todd Livingston, Training Coordinator, for the Emergency Management Accreditation Program. Todd explains "The Four C's" of good program management, which are: Capability - what can our program do when it matters? Capacity - can we do it to scale? Collaboration - which could be one of the most critical elements of our program, because you can't build resilience in isolation, AND - Credentialing - Do we have the right people in the right roles? Todd also talks about the EMAP international standard. =============================================================== Be sure to follow The Resilient Journey! We sure do appreciate it!

Bob Zimmerman reports that Blue Origin's New Glenn orbital rocket successfully completed its second launch, including landing the first stage and demonstrating reuse capability comparable to Falcon 9. New Glenn, larger than Falcon 9, is scheduled for upgrades with more powerful BE4 and BE3U engines, making it nearly comparable to NASA's costly and expendable SLS rocket. Rocket Lab set a new annual launch record with 15 successful orbital launches, surpassing Russia's frequency, and has conducted suborbital HASTE launches for military testing. India is upgrading its largest LVM rocket's upper stage for multiple restarts, essential for its space station and crewed missions. The US State Department opposes a proposed European Union space law seeking to impose EU regulations on companies from other nations, potentially discrediting the EU if passed. Finally, NASA has hired startup Catalyst to attempt a daring robotic rescue of the decaying Swift telescope. 1862
Veronika Kryuchkova, Global Head of Capability Building for the Reckitt Marketing Academy, joins Rishad to explore how we can thrive in a world that's becoming more human and more machine.She reveals why high-agency professionals, those who combine belief, action, and ownership, will dominate the future of work. Veronika reframes career growth for the new era: it's no longer about climbing the ladder but designing your own Capability Stack, the intentional blend of core, human, and future capabilities that compounds like an investment portfolio. And she makes a bold case for continuous micro-reinventions as the growth engines of fulfilling careers. Her message is clear and timely: in a human-machine age, those who thrive will treat their careers as investments to grow, not contracts to protect.#FutureOfWork #Advertising #Business

CAREER-VIEW MIRROR - biographies of colleagues in the automotive and mobility industries.
In this Side Mirror, I explore a blind spot that affects all of us. It's something that slowly creeps in as we gain experience, and it quietly widens the gap between what we think our people understand and what they actually do.I'll share a couple of recent examples — one from a global organisation trying to gather insight, and another from a leader who chose a more hands-on approach — plus a slightly embarrassing personal story from early in my automotive career.All of them highlight the same human tendency… one that reduces Clarity, Capability, Culture and Purpose without us even noticing.About AndyI'm a business leader, coach, and the creator of the Fulfilling Performance framework—a simple, practical way to help leaders cut through silos, get people pulling in the same direction, and build ownership and accountability, so organisations perform better and their people thrive.Over the past 25+ years, I've led and developed businesses including Alphabet UK, BMW Financial Services in the UK, Singapore, and New Zealand, and Tesla Financial Services UK. Alongside this, I've coached individuals and delivered leadership programmes in 17 countries across Asia, Europe, and North America.In 2016, I founded Aquilae (The Fulfilling Performance Company) to support CEOs and senior leaders in the mobility sector and beyond. Through workshops, peer mentoring, and coaching, we help reduce the unseen friction that drags on performance — and create teams where people deliver, grow, and work constructively together.I'm also the host of CAREER-VIEW MIRROR, where I share the life and career journeys of key players in the automotive and mobility world to surface insights leaders can apply in their own context.Learn more about Fulfilling PerformanceCheck out Release the Handbrake!

You're doing everything — checking tasks off the list, showing up for your business, your family, your goals — but somehow, you still feel like you're standing still. Your energy is low, your sleep is restless, and your presence feels scattered.In this episode, Melissa shares the truth about why constant action doesn't always equal growth — and how learning to slow down (the right way) creates the stability, clarity, and energy your body and business actually need to expand.This isn't about doing less. It's about doing what matters — and rebuilding the foundation that allows you to move faster, without breaking down.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:- The difference between slowing down to restore vs. slowing down from burnout- How nervous system regulation, hormones, and digestion create the foundation for sustainable business growth- Why your energy crashes, poor sleep, and brain fog are symptoms of dysregulation (not lack of discipline)- How to identify the actions that truly move the needle — and release the ones that drain you- The “peaceful productivity” framework that lets you build momentum and still feel calm- Two morning practices to reconnect your body before diving into your workdayTIMESTAMPS: 00:00 The Myth of Constant Action 02:00 When Your Body Starts Slowing You Down 06:00 Building the Foundations: Nervous System, Hormones, Digestion 11:00 Why Regulation Comes Before Growth 17:30 Client Story: Scaling Through Nervous System Safety 22:00 Peaceful Productivity and Intentional Action________________________________________________________________________RESOURCES:
Everywhere you look, people are talking about replacing people with AI agents. There's an entire ad campaign about it. But what if I told you some of the latest research show the best AI agents performed about 2.5% as well as a human?Yes, that's right. 2.5%.This week on Future-Focused, I'm breaking down a new 31-page study from RemoteLabor.ai that tested top AI agents on real freelance projects, actual paid human work, and what it showed us about the true state of AI automation today.Spoiler: the results aren't just anticlimactic; they should be a warning bell for anyone walking that path.In this episode, I'll walk through what the study looked at, how it was done, and why its findings matter far beyond the headlines. Then, I'll unpack three key insights every leader and professional should take away before making their next automation decision: • 2.5% Automation Is Not Efficiency — It's Delusion. Why leaders chasing quick savings are replacing 100% of a person with a fraction of one. • Don't Cancel Automation. Perform Surgery. How to identify and automate surgically—the right tasks, not whole roles. • 2.5% Is Small, but It's Moving Fast. Why being “all in” or “all out” on AI are equally dangerous—and how to find the discernment in between.I'll also share how this research should reshape the way you think about automation strategy, AI adoption, and upskilling your teams to use AI effectively, not just enthusiastically.If you're tired of the polar extremes of “AI will take everything” or “AI is overhyped,” this episode will help you find the balanced truth and take meaningful next steps forward.⸻If this conversation helps you think more clearly about how to lead in the age of AI, make sure to like, share, and subscribe. You can also support the show by buying me a coffee.And if your organization is trying to navigate automation wisely, finding that line between overreach and underuse, that's exactly the work I do through my consulting and coaching.

CAREER-VIEW MIRROR - biographies of colleagues in the automotive and mobility industries.
When I introduce leaders to the Fulfilling Performance framework with its four Diagnostic Questions, they invariably appreciate its simplicity. They find Step 1 relatively easy. This is the part where we use the four questions to identify the most likely sources of unseen friction or handbrakes as we call them. I covered Step 1 in last week's Side Mirror episode where I explained how Fulfilling Performance is a simple tool we can use to act on engagement every single day. Step 2 is to consider options, decide on an action and create a plan to release the handbrake. Depending on the nature of the handbrake, Step 2 can be more complex and less straightforward. The options at your disposal and the quality of your plan will vary according to your level of leadership capability, experience and authority.When we get to Step 2 in our workshops, leaders often ask me to share handbrakes that I or previous participants have identified with examples of how they released them.So in this episode, I want to share four stories from my own career—each one showing a handbrake in action, linked to one of the Four Fundamentals: Clarity, Capability, Culture, and Purpose.They're real examples of what happens when a Fundamental is lacking—and what could have been done to release the friction.About AndyI'm a business leader, coach, and the creator of the Fulfilling Performance framework—a simple, practical way to help leaders cut through silos, get people pulling in the same direction, and build ownership and accountability, so organisations perform better and their people thrive.Over the past 25+ years, I've led and developed businesses including Alphabet UK, BMW Financial Services in the UK, Singapore, and New Zealand, and Tesla Financial Services UK. Alongside this, I've coached individuals and delivered leadership programmes in 17 countries across Asia, Europe, and North America.In 2016, I founded Aquilae (The Fulfilling Performance Company) to support CEOs and senior leaders in the mobility sector and beyond. Through workshops, peer mentoring, and coaching, we help reduce the unseen friction that drags on performance — and create teams where people deliver, grow, and work constructively together.I'm also the host of CAREER-VIEW MIRROR, where I share the life and career journeys of key players in the automotive and mobility world to surface insights leaders can apply in their own context.Learn more about Fulfilling PerformanceCheck out Release the Handbrake!

6. The 9/11 Failure and the Cold War Mindset Liza Mundy Book: The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA Leading up to 9/11, the women of Alec Station had been repeatedly warning that al-Qaeda had the capability to attack the United States. On 9/11, the CIA learned of the attacks via CNN, confirming the women's "sick inevitability." While CIA Director George Tenet evacuated the headquarters due to the threat of a plane attack, the Counterterrorism Center staff remained at their posts, working 24/7 to prevent a second wave. The women faced a reckoning afterward, being blamed for failing to connect the dots, despite previous internal struggles to get their analysis published. Adding to the difficulty, the incoming Bush administration, composed largely of "Cold Warriors," struggled to recognize a stateless terror organization as a legitimate, existential threat, focusing instead on traditional state adversaries with armies and capitals. Furthermore, historical failures like the Waco incident made the Clinton administration hesitant to approve operations against bin Laden due to fears of collateral damage.

In this episode, I'm coming to you from my bedroom—sometimes you just need a quiet space when the house is full of teenagers! I hadn't planned to record today, but a powerful question landed in my Instagram DMs that I knew so many of you would relate to: “What's the one thing every woman in business needs to hear right now?” I dive deep into the realities of running a business as a woman, especially when you're already “successful” by traditional standards but still feel overwhelmed, tired, and unsure how to grow without burning out. I share my own journey—how hustle and saying yes to everything got me started, but how strategy, systems, and honoring my own rhythms have been the real keys to sustainable growth and recurring revenue. Key Moments: The difference between capacity and business model—and how to know which one is holding you back Why you need permission to build your business differently (and how I had to give that to myself) The importance of energy and cyclical awareness in time management, especially for women balancing business, motherhood, and life How recurring revenue and strong systems can help you break free from the feast-or-famine cycle The myth of “doing it all” and why building a business that doesn't depend solely on you is essential for growth and well-being The value of mentorship, community, and learning from others' experiences Let's dive in!

Download the 10 Minute Morning Routine for Female Founders: https://mindfullywell.com/morningFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissa_eich/?hl=enSummaryIn this episode, Melissa Eich discusses the critical distinction between capacity and capability, particularly for high-achieving women. She emphasizes that while women may be capable of managing numerous responsibilities, their physical and mental capacity can diminish, leading to health issues. The conversation explores the impact of overworking, the role of ego, the importance of establishing boundaries, and the necessity of listening to one's body regarding nutrition and energy management. Ultimately, Melissa encourages listeners to recognize the costs of ignoring their capacity and to take actionable steps towards sustainable well-being.Chapters00:00 Understanding Capacity vs. Capability03:12 The Impact of Overworking on Health05:12 The Role of Ego in Our Actions08:11 Establishing Boundaries for Better Capacity10:43 Nutrition and Energy Management13:16 The Cost of Ignoring Capacity16:23 Creating Sustainable Energy and ChangeKeywordscapacity, capability, high achievers, self-care, boundaries, nutrition, energy management, ego, health, entrepreneurship

Have you ever noticed that just when things start going well, you somehow find a way to mess it up? Maybe you finally start making good money... but then spend it all immediately. Or you attract a healthy relationship... but find yourself creating drama. Or you're making progress in your business... but suddenly feel overwhelmed and pull back. Here's the truth: It's not your capabilities holding you back. It's your capacity. In this week's episode, I dive deep into the crucial difference between capability and capacity and why understanding this distinction could be the key to unlocking your next level of success. What You Will Discover: Why people with all the right skills still sabotage their success when they haven't expanded their capacity to hold it. How to identify and question the thoughts that are limiting your capacity for money, relationships, and success. The three-step process to increase your capacity: awareness, decision-making, and deliberate practice. Why avoiding stress and overwhelm actually shrinks your life and limits your opportunities. How to develop capability through massive action and failure while building capacity at the same time. The difference between taking on more stress that kills you versus stress that grows you. What happens when your capability outpaces your capacity and how to bring them into alignment.
