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.

Text Monique directly! Share thoughts, feels or feedback! What if the version of leadership that got you here is the very thing keeping you stuck? It's time to grow and expand—not so you can carry more, but so you can finally live out your dream without the weight that's been holding you back.Join Monique as she speaks directly to high-achieving women like you—navigating the tension between your professional obligations and your personal ambitions. This isn't about finding another tactic or quick fix. It's about shifting your identity, cultivating an abundant mindset, and setting boundaries that protect your time and energy.When you do that, you'll start to reclaim your vision and attract the kind of opportunities that truly align with who you are becoming. Monique's insights and strategies are here to help you break free from what's no longer working and step boldly into the future you know is waiting for you.GEMS DROPPED“You've ​always ​known ​that ​where ​you're ​at ​right ​now ​is ​a ​stepping ​stone ​place. ​And ​​it ​may ​have ​given ​you ​really ​specific important ​things, but it's ​not ​meant ​to ​be your ​forever ​place, ​and ​you ​know ​that.”“Because ​you're ​on ​this ​hamster ​wheel ​every ​day, it diminishes ​your vision, and ​it ​shrinks ​your ​capacity ​to ​exist ​as ​bigger.”“Growing ​your ​skills ​to ​the ​point ​where ​you ​can ​now ​possess ​the ​dream. ​That's ​not ​actually ​how ​it ​works. ​You ​have ​to ​grow, ​expand ​yourself ​so ​that ​you ​begin ​to ​live ​out ​the ​dream. ​You ​begin ​to ​attract ​the ​dream.​ It ​begins ​to ​build ​within ​you ​and ​around ​you ​because ​you're ​operating ​that ​way.”“I ​honestly ​don't ​​care ​who ​it ​is ​that ​is ​listening ​to ​my ​voice ​right ​now. ​If ​you're ​my ​girl and ​you're ​considering ​becoming ​better and expanding ​in ​your ​leadership, ​delegation ​is ​going ​to ​be ​a ​thing ​for ​you. ​Because ​we, ​as ​women, are ​actually ​socialized ​against ​delegation. ​We ​are ​socialized ​to ​show ​up ​for ​everybody ​in ​every ​way, ​for ​everything and ​so ​becoming ​better ​at delegating ​is ​absolutely ​something ​that ​we ​need ​to ​do. ​But ​here's ​the ​problem, getting ​better ​at ​delegating ​or ​delegate ​more ​is ​not ​the ​advice ​you ​need. ​What ​you ​need ​is ​the ​space ​to ​occupy a ​more ​abundant boss ​mindset.”“This ​being ​too ​busy ​to ​connect ​with ​our ​dreams-the ​solving ​for ​the ​busyness, ​it ​does ​have ​to ​happen ​first. ​Like, ​you ​cannot, ​​you're ​not ​going ​to ​connect ​with ​an ​authentic ​dream ​from ​a ​place ​that ​feels rushed ​and ​constrained ​and ​overwhelmed ​and ​tight. ​Like, ​that's ​not ​the ​place ​that ​you ​want ​to ​be ​dreaming ​from. ​So ​we ​do ​have ​to ​solve ​for ​this ​first.

In this episode of Machine Shop Mastery, I sit down with Kyra Tillman, third-generation owner of BTM Industries. When Kyra returned to the family shop, she inherited more than just machines—she inherited decades of “this is how we've always done it.”  What she's done since is nothing short of a transformation. With grit, grace, and a serious knack for finding and using resources, Kyra has turned a quiet, closed-door machine shop into a vibrant, collaborative, culture-driven powerhouse—one where growth and fun coexist, Nerf guns included. We dig deep into how she transitioned the shop from old-school processes and undocumented tribal knowledge into a modern, ISO-certified job shop with an eye toward continued growth. Kyra shares candidly about the challenges of taking over from her father, navigating culture change, building an apprenticeship program, and leveraging MEP grants and peer groups to grow her business and team. This conversation is a roadmap for any shop owner who's been putting off change, underestimating the power of collaboration, or unsure where to start when it comes to scaling smarter—not just bigger.  Kyra's journey proves that transformation doesn't require perfection—it requires community, commitment, and a willingness to be both humble and hungry. Whether you're a next-gen leader or seasoned veteran, this episode is full of the kind of real talk and actionable advice that'll get you thinking differently.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...

When you're launching or scaling a machine shop, it's easy to think of software as a cost—something you "have to have" just to get by. But what if your tech stack could become your sharpest competitive edge?  In this episode of the Machine Shop MBA series, we are joined by returning guest and digital strategy expert Bryce Barnes to unpack why your software decisions might matter more than your next CNC machine purchase. They explore how an intentional, integrated digital backbone isn't just for managing data—it's about accelerating sales, boosting throughput, and future-proofing your shop. We share our own journeys with building digital infrastructure from scratch, transitioning off spreadsheets, and how we now see our systems as a key part of our brand. The reality is, when your systems are dialed in, they don't just save time—they win work. We've seen it ourselves: customers are more confident, audits are smoother, and top talent is easier to attract when you run a modern, connected operation. We break down the key components of a modern machine shop's digital ecosystem—from ERP and QMS to CAD/CAM, CRM, and even the email domain you choose when naming your business. We explain how integrations reduce risk and waste, why starting early simplifies everything later, and how a great tech stack not only saves time but wins customers. Whether you're quoting parts on an Excel sheet, trying to choose your first ERP, or just curious how cloud, AI, and machine monitoring can fit into your daily operations, this episode is an essential listen. It's not a tech tutorial—it's a business strategy conversation every shop owner needs to hear. The takeaway? Don't tack on software as an afterthought. Build your shop around it.

In this episode, we're talking all things grassfed whey—a supplement we recommend to nearly every client for good reason. From weight loss and lean body mass to metabolic and immune health, the benefits of whey are powerful and broad spectrum. We break down what whey protein is, how it's made, and why we choose to use a whey concentrate over an isolate. We dive into the synergistic compounds found only in whey concentrates that are low heat processed like lactoferrin, CLA, and immunoglobulins—and how they go beyond muscle to support immune resilience, gut lining integrity, and even antioxidant production via glutathione synthesis. We're thrilled to unveil Whey Protect—our upgraded version of Naturally Nourished Grassfed Whey, now with added serum bovine immunoglobulins to further support immunity and reduce inflammation. We touch on how our formula stacks up in purity compared to mainstream brands and discuss the Clean Label Project's recent findings on heavy metals in popular protein powders.

If you're in the trenches of manufacturing like we are—running a shop, growing a business, or even dreaming of starting your own—this episode is going to hit home. We're diving deep into the real challenges and choices that come with equipping a machine shop. It's not just about what machine to buy; it's about how to make smart, future-proof decisions that keep your business agile and competitive.  We walk through what it really takes to get started, from the very first piece of equipment to building an infrastructure that can handle growth. It's a real-world conversation on budgets, strategy, and how to stretch your dollar without cutting corners that matter. We talk openly about our own experiences—the good, the bad, and the costly. Whether it's figuring out if we should buy new or used, or realizing after the fact that we didn't budget for tooling, coolant, or the right chip conveyor, we've made the mistakes so you don't have to.  We even get into the nitty-gritty of power and air requirements, something that can seriously bottleneck your operation if overlooked. It's not glamorous, but it's the kind of stuff that makes or breaks a shop's ability to deliver and grow. What's great about this episode is that it's not just our perspective. We brought in Keith Granno, a guy who's been around the block more times than most in machinery sales. While we focus on what we've learned from running our own shops, Keith gives a broader view—what he's seen work across hundreds of different businesses.  He's sold everything from entry-level mills to million-dollar systems, so he knows what it takes at every level. Together, we cover how to think about versatility, automation, and preparing for the jobs we don't even have yet. If you want to set your shop up for long-term success, this episode is your blueprint.

For centuries, beef tallow was a cornerstone of global cuisine. Ancient Romans used it to preserve meat and fry food. Medieval Europeans relied on it for cooking, candle-making, and even leather conditioning. In early America, tallow wasIndispensable—settlers used it for everything from pie crusts to waterproofing boots.In the 20th century, tallow had nearly disappeared from kitchens. Flawed nutritional studies demonized saturated fats, and industrial seed oils took their place. Only now, as modern science reevaluates dietary fats, is tallow reclaiming its rightfulrole in culinary traditions.Beef tallow is rendered fat, primarily sourced from suet—the dense fat surrounding a cow's kidneys and loins. Unlike lard (pig fat), tallow has a firmer texture and a higher smoke point, making it ideal for high-heat cooking.The rendering process is simple but precise: suet is slowly melted at low heat, strained to remove impurities, and cooled into a smooth, shelf-stable fat. Properly rendered tallow can last up to a year at room temperature, a testament to itsstability.The Nutritional Benefits of TallowEmerging research challenges old assumptions about saturated fats. Beef tallow contains a balanced profile of saturated and monounsaturated fats, including stearic acid,which may support healthy cholesterol levels. It's also rich in conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a fatty acid linked to reduced inflammation and improved metabolism.Additionally, tallow provides fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K2—essential for immune function, bone health, and skin vitality. Grass-fed tallow offers even higher concentrations of these beneficial compounds. Tallow vs. Industrial Seed Oils Unlike highly processed vegetable oils, tallow is a whole food. Industrial seed oils—such as soybean, corn, and canola oil—are often extracted with chemical solvents and are prone to oxidation, especially at high temperatures. Tallow, with its smoke point of 400°F or higher, remains stable under heat, reducing the formation of harmful compounds.The shift from traditional fats like tallow may have contributed to modern health challenges. Reintroducing it into our diets could be a step toward more nourishing, ancestrally aligned eating. More podcasts by Chef Walter

Dreaming of owning your own machine shop but hitting a wall when it comes to the money? You're not alone—and you're definitely not out of options. In this episode of MakingChips' Machine Shop MBA series, host Mike Payne sits down with Jon Hughes, Principal and CFO Consultant at CliftonLarsonAllen (CLA), to unpack what it really takes to fund a manufacturing business in today's economy. Too many would-be shop owners assume they need a mountain of cash sitting in the bank before they can even begin. But what if we told you that buying an existing shop—yes, even one with tired machines and outdated systems—could actually be less risky than starting from scratch? What if seller financing, SBA loans, or creative capital stacks could unlock the dream faster than you thought? This isn't just about borrowing money—it's about funding your future wisely. From assessing your own personal runway to building a mixed financing strategy that includes banks, lines of credit, equipment lenders, and even friends and family, this conversation goes deep. Mike and Jon cover the practical tools every owner should use (hint: you'll want to Google “13-week cash flow”) and how to present a rock-solid financial plan that banks will actually take seriously. If you're wondering how to turn your machining expertise into a business that's not only viable—but scalable—this is the episode to hit play on. Because if you're not MakingChips, you're not making money… but if you can't fund the shop, you can't make chips either. Segments (00:00) Why funding is the next step in your Machine Shop MBA journey (0:21) Learn how to grow your top and bottom line with CLA (1:36) Introducing Jon Hughes and his role helping manufacturers at CLA (3:49) The two big funding buckets: operations and equipment (08:18) The case for buying a shop over building from scratch (12:16) Seller financing explained: benefits, risks, and how it works (19:12) The reality of personal capital—and when to tap family, home equity, or personal loans (24:58) Bank loans vs. SBA loans: how they differ and when to choose each (31:40) Why you need to take the Modern Machine Shop Top Shop survey (33:23) What can and can't be financed—especially when it comes to equipment vs. working capital (35:18) Determining how much working capital you really need (39:54) Cash flow crunches: how a 13-week forecast can keep you afloat (46:32) Planning for the unexpected: best-case, worst-case, and baseline budgets (49:20) What a blended funding structure could look like (54:35) Using equipment financing and lines of credit creatively (57:20) Final takeaways + the importance of building your financial advisor network (1:03:00) Why you have to check out the Machine Shop Mastery podcast Resources mentioned on this episode Learn how to grow your top and bottom line with CLA 7(a) loans through the SBA Take the Modern Machine Shop Top Shop survey Connect with Mike to get a 13-week cashflow sheet Connect with Jon Hughes at CLA Jon.Hughes@CLAConnection.com Smart Money Moves: Equipment Financing Tips with Ty Willis, Ep #5 The Cashflow Advantage: Why the Right Banker Makes All the Difference, Ep #6 Banking Secrets for Manufacturers: How to Secure the Cash You Need, Ep #12 Connect With MakingChips www.MakingChips.com On Facebook On LinkedIn On Instagram On Twitter On YouTube

Do people really understand what you offer—or are you just shouting into the void? In this follow-up episode, Dr. Lauryn and marketing expert Molly Cahill move from theory to tactics, revealing the real reasons most healthcare providers struggle to create content that drives action. From patient psychology to platform strategy, this is your roadmap to building a personal brand that actually sells.They explore why talking about symptoms isn't selling out, how to validate patient experience without pandering, and what it really takes to build trust online. Lauryn shares her go-to strategy for converting small audiences, why opinion-sharing is a brand-builder, and why waiting for more followers is the worst strategy of all. If you've ever felt stuck between being helpful and being “sales-y,” this episode is your blueprint for finding the sweet spot.Key Takeaways:Stop avoiding symptom-based content. Speaking directly to patient concerns is how you change beliefs—and convert them into care.Trust isn't built when you sell—it's built when you share. Posting your honest opinions consistently trains your audience to value your voice.Authority grows from authenticity. You don't need a massive following to make sales—you need engaged, aligned people who trust what you say.Start now, not later. If you're waiting to “look like an influencer” before showing up, you're missing the point—and the opportunity.About the Guest:Molly Cahill is a social media strategist and coach who helps chiropractors and holistic health professionals grow their practices through authentic Instagram marketing.

Most people who dream of launching a manufacturing business obsess over machines, processes, and parts. But here's the thing: that dream can die before a single spindle turns—if you miss a few less-glamorous (but absolutely critical) steps on the front end. Legal structure? Tax setup? Insurance? Naming your shop? These early decisions carry more weight than most first-timers realize. In this episode of MakingChips, we pick up where part one left off and get granular with the real-life process of starting your shop the right way. Guests Brad Boettcher and Nick Vargosko of CLA return to walk us through the practical decisions you'll face—how to choose (and register) your business entity, why the wrong name could haunt you, what documents you actually need before making parts, and how to build a business that's ready for growth, not just survival. If you've ever thought “I'll figure that stuff out later,” you'll want to hear the cautionary tales in this episode—plus the steps that will keep you out of trouble, off your state's audit list, and firmly in control of your own success. We also unpack how to structure ownership if you've got a business partner (especially if it's family), and why your garage may not cut it forever, even if you love the rent. This one's for the aspiring owners, the side hustlers-turned-founders, and anyone helping someone else start a shop from scratch. Whether you're building your dream or advising someone else on theirs, it's time to get real about what it takes to launch smart—and stay that way.

Firefighters across the country have been tackling more wildfires this week - from the Mourne mountains in Northern Ireland to the Scottish Highlands and North Yorkshire moors. These fires in rural areas are difficult to fight. In the Mournes more than 140 fires have been reported in the past few days and firefighters say most were started deliberately. Various countryside organisations, including the Countryside Alliance and the CLA alongside farming unions have been raising awareness of the dangers of wildfires and ways of preventing them. The Ulster Farmers Union is calling for more grazing and controlled burning in some protected areas to reduce the risks.We're focusing on farmed fish this week and salmon really dominates this sector. It's not without its critics who say production is at the expense of the environment and fish welfare. However the industry in Scotland says its continuing to change and improve. We visit an island site owned by Norwegian fish farmer MOWI which believes that farming in deeper more remote waters will help solve some of the problems.The first asparagus of the season is one vegetable that's widely anticipated and valued and one Scottish farm has found a way of edging ahead of most of the others by making use of redundant fruit polytunnels.Presenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Rebecca Rooney

Fat loss supplements are everywhere- caffeine pills, metabolism boosters, CLA, L-Carnitine, etc. But do they actually work, or are they just a waste of money?If this episode, I break down the science behind popular fat loss supplements and tell you exactly which ones are worth it- and which ones aren't.

Americký prezident Donald Trump v noci na čtvrtek ohlásil očekávaná reciproční cla na všechno zboží dovážené do Spojených států v minimální sazbě deset procent, na dovoz z Evropské unie 20 procent. „Cla jsou nelegální. Neměli bychom jednat překotně, ale něco udělat musíme,“ je přesvědčený ředitel Institutu liberálních studií Martin Pánek. „Je třeba podívat se na to, co bude bolet Ameriku,“ souhlasí Pavel Telička, podnikatel a někdejší eurokomisař.

Evropská unie nechce obchodní válku se Spojenými státy. Cla vyhlášena Donaldem Trumpem považuje za nesmyslná a kontraproduktivní. Je ale odhodlána se bránit. Evropská komise předloží varianty odpovědi v pondělí, a to ministrům odpovědným za zahraniční obchod. Následovat bude horečné dohadování mezi vládami a možná i pokusy Bruselu vyvolat „in extremis“ jednání se Spojenými státy. Odveta by měla být oznámena do Velikonoc, pravděpodobně 12. dubna.

I'm on a mission to bust the myths about red meat that have been circulating for decades. Contrary to what you've been told, lean grass-fed beef might be exactly what you need for aging powerfully, especially after 40. As a recovering vegan, I've discovered firsthand how quality red meat provides essential nutrients that combat muscle loss (starting at 30, we lose 3-8% per decade!), boost energy, and support bone health. The secret lies in the branched-chain amino acids, iron, B12, and zinc found abundantly in grass-fed beef—nutrients that are critical for combating fatigue, maintaining cognitive function, and supporting hormonal balance during perimenopause and beyond. What you'll learn: The crucial difference between processed meats and grass-fed, grass-finished beef How red meat helps combat age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) in women 40+ The unique nutrients in quality beef that support energy, bone health, and metabolism Why grass-fed beef contains beneficial CLA that supports fat loss and smaller waistlines How to properly incorporate red meat into your diet for optimal results Simple ways to maximize iron absorption from meat by combining with vitamin C-rich foods Tips for choosing the best cuts and preparation methods to maximize nutritional benefits Love the Podcast?

I'm on a mission to bust the myths about red meat that have been circulating for decades. Contrary to what you've been told, lean grass-fed beef might be exactly what you need for aging powerfully, especially after 40. As a recovering vegan, I've discovered firsthand how quality red meat provides essential nutrients that combat muscle loss (starting at 30, we lose 3-8% per decade!), boost energy, and support bone health. The secret lies in the branched-chain amino acids, iron, B12, and zinc found abundantly in grass-fed beef—nutrients that are critical for combating fatigue, maintaining cognitive function, and supporting hormonal balance during perimenopause and beyond. What you'll learn: The crucial difference between processed meats and grass-fed, grass-finished beef How red meat helps combat age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) in women 40+ The unique nutrients in quality beef that support energy, bone health, and metabolism Why grass-fed beef contains beneficial CLA that supports fat loss and smaller waistlines How to properly incorporate red meat into your diet for optimal results Simple ways to maximize iron absorption from meat by combining with vitamin C-rich foods Tips for choosing the best cuts and preparation methods to maximize nutritional benefits Love the Podcast?

If you're over 50 and think losing fat and building muscle is impossible, I have great news! After years of testing, I've identified five essential foods that can transform your body composition. These protein-rich powerhouses - grass-fed beef, wild salmon, Greek yogurt, pasture-raised eggs, and collagen - are the foundation of a diet that supports muscle growth while fighting inflammation. The secret isn't just about eating protein; it's about consuming the right kinds with their unique amino acid profiles, bioavailable nutrients, and metabolic benefits. When you prioritize these foods, you'll experience increased energy, reduced cravings, and improved recovery within days. This isn't another diet fad - it's a sustainable approach to nourishing your body for strength and vitality in your prime years. What you'll learn: Why grass-fed, grass-finished beef provides unique nutrients like creatine, CLA, and omega-3s that support muscle growth How wild salmon's astaxanthin and omega-3 content makes it superior to farmed varieties for inflammation reduction The surprising benefits of Greek yogurt's slow-digesting casein protein (if you've healed your gut) Why the bright orange yolks in pasture-raised eggs signal higher nutritional value How collagen supports connective tissue strength - critical for injury prevention when strength training The importance of protein's thermic effect and its role in reducing cravings Simple ways to incorporate these foods into your daily routine for maximum benefit Love the Podcast?
