Podcasts about CLA

When I first heard about the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” I knew we had to break it down for the MakingChips audience. This isn't just another tax update—it's a massive, 900-page piece of legislation with real implications for manufacturers like us. Whether you're thinking about buying equipment, expanding your facility, hiring more people, or selling your business down the road, the OBBB touches nearly every part of the decision-making process. That's why I called up my friends at CLA—Susan Roberts and Steve Combs—two tax pros who spend every day helping manufacturers figure out what's changing, what's staying the same, and what you need to do now. In this episode, we sort through what's “informational” and what's “actionable”—so you can stop guessing and start planning. We talk about everything from the return of 100% bonus depreciation, to how you can now expense R&D costs again (finally), to smart moves around entity selection and estate planning. There's even a little salt cap drama in there. If you want to get ahead before year-end—or avoid getting caught off guard—this episode's for you. Let's get into it and talk about how this “big, beautiful” bill can work for you… not against you.

In this episode of Machine Shop Mastery, I sat down with Barry Walter Jr., and I have to say—this one lit me up. Barry's a machine shop leader who brings heart, humility, and a whole lot of wisdom to the mic. From rebuilding a multi-generational business to designing a culture where “shit flows uphill” (his words!), Barry has transformed a plumbing parts OEM into an 8-figure, high-mix/low-volume powerhouse with 37 team members, 15 CNC lathes, and a customer service model that makes his buyers the heroes. What struck me most is how intentional Barry is—not just with his machines or his marketing, but with how he leads. From rigorous multi-stage hiring to monthly team celebrations to offering PTO in exchange for nonprofit volunteering, Barry's built a workplace that lives out its core values every single day. Family first. Serve others. Made in America matters. And yes—work should be fulfilling. We also dive into the financial roadblocks that nearly brought the company to its knees and how Barry led the turnaround through culture, cost discipline, and strategic pricing. You'll also hear how he's passing the torch to the next generation—with three of his kids now working in the business—and why he replaced third-party sales reps with his own son, who now makes 60+ customer visits per week across the western U.S. This episode is packed with lessons on leadership, lean operations, OEM manufacturing, and building a resilient business that people actually want to work for. I think you're going to love this conversation as much as I did.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...

Usikkerheden breder sig. Rygterne om nye bilafgifter tager til, men intet er besluttet. Det har sendt både bilbranchen og forbrugerne i tænkepause. Skal man købe elbil nu eller vente og håbe på lavere priser? En mulig omlægning af afgiftssystemet kan få stor betydning for prisen på nye elbiler. Men indtil videre er alt åbent, og markedet balancerer på rygter og gisninger. Imens vælger nogle forbrugere at afvente. Andre slår til nu, mens kampagnerne er aggressive, og priserne rekordlave. I denne uges Bilradio diskuterer Jan Lang og Christian Schacht, hvad vi ved, hvad vi ikke ved, og hvordan man som bilkøber bør agere, når fremtiden er usikker og markedet sitrer af nervøs forventning. Øvrige emner i ugens podcast Farvel til mikrobilerne, men er det et på gensyn i elformMikrobilerne forsvinder én efter én fra det danske marked. Kun Toyota Aygo X er tilbage, og selv den er vokset i både pris og størrelse. Vi ser tilbage på bilklassens storhedstid og spørger, om elbiler kan bringe den tilbage. København bliver bilernes nye modesceneMercedes holder verdenspremiere på den nye CLA i København. Nissan følger trop til efteråret med en relancering af Leaf.

Today as part of the Tales of a Nuffield Scholar podcast which aims to share the stories of Nuffield UK Alumni, we welcome Gavin Lane — a soon-to-be CLA President, passionate property investor, and longstanding advocate for British agriculture.

Every once in a while, I sit down with a guest who reminds me exactly why I started this podcast in the first place. That was the case with Kelly Denison, the second-generation owner of Continental Machine Company in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Kelly is the kind of leader who sees his machine shop not just as a business—but as a vehicle for opportunity, growth, and purpose. In our conversation, we talked about what it means to carry forward a legacy. Kelly's dad bought the business in 2000, and by 2020, Kelly had earned his way into full ownership—not by entitlement, but by doing every job in the shop. From janitor to programmer to accountant, he worked his way up and built a deep understanding of what it takes to run a shop. But what struck me most was his mindset. Kelly isn't just making precision parts—he's making machinists. He's building careers, instilling pride, and leading with heart. From funding a church in Costa Rica to mentoring his team toward mastery, Kelly is proving that shop ownership can be both profitable and profoundly meaningful. If you've ever wrestled with succession, struggled with ISO as a “quality burden,” or wondered how to build a values-driven culture that retains talent, this episode is for you. It's packed with humility, honesty, and hard-earned wisdom. I walked away inspired—and I know you will too. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...

What does it take to run one of the top-performing machine shops in the country? In this episode of MakingChips, we sit down with Kevin Bowling, COO of Major Tool & Machine, to find out exactly what drives their success—and why it all starts with people. Kevin isn't just leading a massive operation with 670,000 square feet of manufacturing space and machines that can turn parts up to 40 feet in diameter—he's cultivating a culture of excellence, servant leadership, and continuous improvement. From daily standups to custom-built software tools that empower employees to submit (and track) improvement ideas, Kevin shares how his team fuels a winning environment. We talk about how Major Tool keeps scrap rates under 1.6%, mitigates multi-million dollar risks, and engages machinists in everything from quoting to process design. But more than that, Kevin reveals why trust, gratitude, action, growth, and excellence aren't just words on a wall—they're the foundation for shop floor performance. Whether you're running a 3-person shop or leading hundreds, this conversation is packed with ideas you can apply to raise the bar. Because when leadership is intentional and people are empowered, that's when you start making chips—and making money.

From July, livestock going from England to Wales or Scotland must be tested for bluetongue, and farmers are warning the new system could be "catastrophic" for their businesses. The virus is spread by biting midges. It doesn't affect humans but can cause fever and lameness in cattle and sheep. From July 1st, the whole of England will become a bluetongue restriction zone, meaning livestock can move freely around. Governments in Cardiff and Edinburgh, however, have decided that animals coming from England must test negative for the virus before they're allowed in. Farmers renting land for mobile phone masts may be about to lose money. The government is considering changing the rules, which would allow companies to re-write rental agreements and potentially impose rent cuts retrospectively. The guidelines are part of the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Bill, part two. There were changes to the rules in 2017 which, critics say, caused a lot of problems. The Country Land and Business Association or CLA thinks the new proposals will make things worse.All week, we're talking about regenerative agriculture. It's a way of farming which aims to restore and protect soils. Regen methods include farming without ploughing, using cover crops so fields are never left bare, growing a range of crops, and using animals to fertilise the ground. But there is no one definition of "regenerative". Professor Andy Neal, a soil microbiologist at Rothamsted Research, explains why he thinks that's a good thing.Presenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Rebecca Rooney

Today's show:In this powerhouse VC roundtable, @Jason sits down with Sequoia's Doug Leone and Cyberstarts' Gili Raanan to share brutally honest insights on startup recruiting, evaluating second-time founders, and how to truly find product-market fit.

Planning a job is one thing—getting it through the shop without chaos is something else entirely. In part two of our Managing Orders series, we move beyond quoting and scheduling to the messy reality of production: where kitting falls short, setups go long, expectations don't match reality, and quality gets squeezed when time runs out. We've seen it happen. A setup that was budgeted for two hours takes six. Why? Because the job wasn't kitted right. Because the estimator used wishful thinking. Because no one raised their hand when they knew the target was off. It's not just frustrating—it's a breakdown in accountability and trust across your team. This episode is about fixing those breakdowns. We unpack how better handoffs, clearer documentation, and stronger internal service mindsets can completely transform your process. From shift tie-ins and floor leads to process development and postmortems, we share how to build a shop where problems get solved before they become expensive. Because making chips isn't just about getting to the spindle—it's about building a culture where everyone owns their part of the process, and where your systems hold up even when the pressure's on. Segments (0:00) Why planning isn't enough—execution is where things break (0:43) Grow your top and bottom-line with CLA (2:00) The dangers of “sharpening the pencil” on setup time (5:25) Why you must separate first-time setup from recurring setup targets (6:35) The hidden costs of poor kitting and missing tools at setup (11:21) Tribal knowledge, shift leads, and how to monitor execution in real time (14:08) Creating a culture where machinists feel safe to speak up (17:58) “Tiger Teams” and how to solve setup issues in the moment (20:56) Top Shops (21:22) Documenting feedback through process development and tying it to improvement (24:20) Using shift tie-ins and handoffs to reduce lost context (25:40) Rethinking quality: from bottleneck to built-in step (34:08) Treating vendors like internal customers and setting them up for success (38:15) The final handoff: why packaging, paperwork, and delivery are part of your brand (43:45) Final takeaways: document your process, eliminate failure points, and keep improving (47:46) Why you need to listen to the Lights Out Podcast  Resources mentioned on this episode The Automation Trap: Why Automating Chaos Won't Save You, Ep #18  Vericut Hexagon Maestro The E Myth Connect With MakingChips www.MakingChips.com On Facebook On LinkedIn On Instagram On Twitter On YouTube

In this episode, Dr. Jockers and Dr. William Hsu dive into how nourished fasting can reduce insulin resistance, activate autophagy, and slow aging. They discuss how the fasting mimicking diet triggers cellular repair while still providing nourishment.   Learn how nutrient-sensing pathways like mTOR and IGF-1 influence metabolic health and why modern eating habits may accelerate aging. Dr. Hsu explains how short-term fasting can promote healing by tapping into the body's natural survival mechanisms.   Discover how to apply nourished fasting in your life with the ProLon protocol and why a few cycles a year can significantly improve your healthspan.   In This Episode: 00:00 Introduction to the Fast Mimicking Diet 02:49 Interview with Dr. William Hsu: Metabolic Health and Fasting 04:48 The Science Behind Fasting and Cellular Healing 06:49 The Evolutionary Perspective on Fasting 09:22 Understanding Nutrient Sensing Pathways 14:33 The Nobel Prize-Winning Research on Autophagy 17:44 The Concept of Fasting Mimicking Diet 21:25 Exploring the Benefits of Fasting Mimicking Diet 22:01 The Science Behind Fasting and Systemic Health 23:22 The Role of Lifestyle Medicine 24:16 Understanding Digestive Health and Stomach Acid 26:10 Hormetic Stress and Health Benefits 27:16 Clinical Research on Fasting Mimicking Diet 31:32 Practical Application of Fasting Mimicking Diet 32:43 Personalized Programs for Health Conditions 35:22 The Future of Lifestyle Medicine 40:54 Final Thoughts and Call to Action     Still cooking with seed oils?

Once the PO comes in, it's easy to fall into the trap of “just get it done.” But if we don't manage orders with intention and clarity, we're setting ourselves—and our teams—up for chaos. In this episode of the Machine Shop MBA series, we break down what it really takes to run a smooth, efficient production floor. This isn't just about buying software or printing a checklist. It's about building a culture where planning is seen as an act of leadership, not overhead. We share lessons from our own experiences—like rebuilding internal systems from scratch and learning the hard way that quoting means nothing if we can't deliver on time. We explore how order management touches everything: lead times, stress levels, team morale, and profit margins. We talk about what it means to serve internal customers, how to build standards everyone can actually follow, and why checklists might just be the most underrated tool in your shop. If we want to stop firefighting, reduce turnover, and grow a business that lasts, we need to start treating order management like the strategic function it is. Because without a plan, even good shops fall short. Segments (1:39) Stay tuned: Top Shops 2025 registration coming soon!

News Langages Wasm 2.0 enfin officialisé ! https://webassembly.org/news/2025-03-20-wasm-2.0/ La spécification Wasm 2.0 est officiellement sortie en décembre dernier. Le consensus sur la spécification avait été atteint plus tôt, en 2022. Les implémentations majeures supportent Wasm 2.0 depuis un certain temps. Le processus W3C a pris du temps pour atteindre le statut de “Recommandation Candidate” pour des raisons non techniques. Les futures versions de Wasm adopteront un modèle “evergreen” où la “Recommandation Candidate” sera mise à jour en place. La dernière version de la spécification est considérée comme le standard actuel (Candidate Recommendation Draft). La version la plus à jour est disponible sur la page GitHub (GitHub page). Wasm 2.0 inclut les nouveautés suivantes : Instructions vectorielles pour le SIMD 128-bit. Instructions de manipulation de mémoire en bloc pour des copies et initialisations plus rapides. Résultats multiples pour les instructions, blocs et fonctions. Types références pour les références à des fonctions ou objets externes. Conversions non-piégeantes de flottant à entier. Instructions d'extension de signe pour les entiers signés. Wasm 2.0 est entièrement rétrocompatible avec Wasm 1.0.

Chatbots : pas toujours l'option LLM la plus intuitive ou la moins perturbatrice. Préconisation : IA directement dans les applications pour plus d'intelligence et d'utilité naturelle. Exemples d'intégration transparente : résumés des conversations Gmail et chat, web clipper Obsidian qui résume et taggue, complétion de code LLM. Meilleure UX IA : intégrée, contextuelle, sans “boutons IA” ou fenêtres de chat dédiées. Conclusion de Guillaume : intégrations IA réussies = partie naturelle du système, améliorant les workflows sans perturbation, le développeur ou l'utilisateur reste dans le “flow” Garder votre base de donnée vectorielle à jour avec Debezium https://debezium.io/blog/2025/05/19/debezium-as-part-of-your-ai-solution/ pas besoin de detailler mais expliquer idee de garder les changements a jour dans l'index Outillage guide pratique pour choisir le bon modèle d'IA à utiliser avec GitHub Copilot, en fonction de vos besoins en développement logiciel. https://github.blog/ai-and-ml/github-copilot/which-ai-model-should-i-use-with-github-copilot/ - Équilibre coût/performance : GPT-4.1, GPT-4o ou Claude 3.5 Sonnet pour des tâches générales et multilingues. - Tâches rapides : o4-mini ou Claude 3.5 Sonnet pour du prototypage ou de l'apprentissage rapide. - Besoins complexes : Claude 3.7 Sonnet, GPT-4.5 ou o3 pour refactorisation ou planification logicielle. - Entrées multimodales : Gemini 2.0 Flash ou GPT-4o pour analyser images, UI ou diagrammes. - Projets techniques/scientifiques : Gemini 2.5 Pro pour raisonnement avancé et gros volumes de données.

Technique d'attaque sophistiquée : les packages volent les identifiants utilisateur, récupèrent un payload chiffré depuis des serveurs contrôlés par les pirates, puis remplacent le fichier main.js de Cursor. Persistance assurée en désactivant les mises à jour automatiques de Cursor et en redémarrant l'application avec le code malveillant intégré. Nouvelle méthode de compromission : au lieu d'injecter directement du malware, les attaquants publient des packages qui modifient des logiciels légitimes déjà installés sur le système. Persistance même après suppression : le malware reste actif même si les packages npm malveillants sont supprimés, nécessitant une réinstallation complète de Cursor. Exploitation de la confiance : en s'exécutant dans le contexte d'une application légitime (IDE), le code malveillant hérite de tous ses privilèges et accès. Package “rand-user-agent” compromis : un package légitime populaire a été infiltré pour déployer un cheval de Troie d'accès distant (RAT) dans certaines versions. Recommandations de sécurité : surveiller les packages exécutant des scripts post-installation, modifiant des fichiers hors node_modules, ou initiant des appels réseau inattendus, avec monitoring d'intégrité des fichiers. Loi, société et organisation Le drama OpenRewrite (automatisation de refactoring sur de larges bases de code) est passé en mode propriétaire https://medium.com/@jonathan.leitschuh/when-open-source-isnt-how-openrewrite-lost-its-way-642053be287d Faits Clés : Moderne, Inc. a re-licencié silencieusement du code OpenRewrite (dont rewrite-java-security) de la licence Apache 2.0 à une licence propriétaire (MPL) sans consultation des contributeurs. Ce re-licenciement rend le code inaccessible et non modifiable pour les contributeurs originaux. Moderne s'est retiré de la Commonhaus Foundation (dédiée à l'open source) juste avant ces changements. La justification de Moderne est la crainte que de grandes entreprises utilisent OpenRewrite sans contribuer, créant une concurrence. Des contributions communautaires importantes (VMware, AliBaba) sous Apache 2.0 ont été re-licenciées sans leur consentement. La légalité de ce re-licenciement est incertaine sans CLA des contributeurs. Cette action crée un précédent dangereux pour les futurs contributeurs et nuit à la confiance dans l'écosystème OpenRewrite. Corrections de Moderne (Suite aux réactions) : Les dépôts Apache originaux ont été restaurés et archivés. Des versions majeures ont été utilisées pour signaler les changements de licence. Des espaces de noms distincts (org.openrewrite vs. io.moderne) ont été créés pour différencier les modules. Suggestions de Correction de l'Auteur : Annuler les changements de licence sur toutes les recettes communautaires. S'engager dans le dialogue et communiquer publiquement les changements majeurs. Respecter le versionnement sémantique (versions majeures pour les changements de licence).

What if you could double—or even quadruple—the value of a machine shop within just 12 months of buying it? For Mike Payne, this isn't a hypothetical. It's a repeatable system he's refined across five acquisitions (and counting).  In this episode of Machine Shop Mastery, Mike returns to the mic to break down exactly how he transforms tired shops into thriving, high-value operations—without starting from scratch. Mike walks us through his bolt-on acquisition strategy, sharing how he targets shops with legacy customers, retiring owners, and underutilized assets. But the real magic happens post-purchase. By layering in his tech stack, systems, and leadership team, he's able to drastically improve efficiency, customer value, and ultimately, the valuation multiple—often turning a 2.5x shop into a 5x performer. You'll hear how Mike evaluates potential deals, builds financial models based on his operating costs, and uses simple frameworks to identify untapped value others miss. He also shares practical insights for both buyers and sellers—from structuring seller-financed deals to boosting your multiple with minimal upfront investment. Whether you're considering your first acquisition or preparing to sell your shop, this episode is packed with tactical advice and inspiring proof that serious wealth-building in manufacturing is not only possible—it's within reach.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...

In this episode, Dr. Jockers and Steve Wright explain why many people stay inflamed even after removing toxins and eating clean. The real issue isn't exposure—it's lost immune tolerance, and the solution is rebuilding resilience.   You'll learn about the five gut defense layers that regulate your immune system. Fixing oxygen balance, mucus layers, and gut cell mitochondria is key to restoring proper function.   They also cover how para-probiotics—dead bacteria—can retrain an overactive immune response. If you're sensitive to foods, histamines, or your environment, this episode lays out what to do next.   In This Episode: 00:00 Introduction to Early Childhood Exposure and Health Benefits 02:59 Interview with Steve Wright: Retraining a Broken Gut Immune System 05:26 Understanding the Immune System and Its Connection to the Gut 08:02 Challenges in Modern Health and the Importance of Gut Resilience 10:50 The Role of the Gut in Immune Function and Balance 23:04 Layers of the Gut and Their Functions 26:36 Mitochondria and Gut Health 27:59 Impact of Antibiotics on Gut Microbiome 28:47 The Role of Stomach Acid in Digestion 31:51 Resetting Gut Health 33:27 Individualized Diets and Food Tolerance 36:44 Repairing Gut Health: Steps and Supplements 40:32 Para Probiotics: An Overview 44:51 Healthy Gut Products and Protocols 48:46 Final Thoughts and Recommendations     Still cooking with seed oils?

Before you spend a dime on advertising—or hire a marketing agency—you need to answer one foundational question: Who exactly are you trying to reach?  In this episode of the Machine Shop MBA series, Nick, Mike, and Paul sit down with Joe Sullivan, co-founder of Gorilla 76 and host of The Manufacturing Executive podcast, to break down the strategy behind smart marketing for job shops. Joe makes one thing clear from the jump: marketing isn't just sales turned up louder. Instead, it's about building trust before the buying conversation even starts. That means identifying your ideal customer profile (ICP), understanding their pain points, and crafting messages that speak directly to them—so when they're triggered to buy, they already know who you are. The conversation dives into the practical side of marketing strategy: defining your total addressable market, publishing your ICP, understanding buyer personas, and turning a few high-quality content pieces into lead-generating machines. Joe also shares real-world tips for measuring ROI, why your content distribution matters more than volume, and how even a 10-person shop can build a consistent, credible marketing engine. Whether you're starting your marketing journey or rethinking your current efforts, this episode gives you the roadmap to go from aimless activity to strategic growth. Stop being invisible—and start being the shop your best-fit customers call first.

This might be one of the most important conversations we've had in the Machine Shop MBA series—because we're unpacking a mindset that quietly limits the growth potential of so many shops: the “cashier model.” We've seen it time and time again—shops waiting at the counter for purchase orders to roll in, instead of actively building relationships, solving problems, and driving new revenue. That model might work for a while, but over time it leads to stagnation. That's why we brought in Mike Fritz, a fellow host and the mind behind Machine Shop Growth, to break down exactly why shops get stuck—and how to break out of it. Together, we explore the three customer types every shop must understand: current, dormant, and new. We share how we approach each one, the psychology behind why they buy, and the specific tactics we've used to unlock more value from the accounts we already have—while building smart pathways to growth. If you've ever looked at your sales numbers and wondered why things aren't growing the way they should, this episode might explain why—and what to do next.
