Most machine shop owners spend twenty years learning the lesson Stone figured out before he turned 21: get great at one thing, and say no to almost everything else. He bought his first CNC at 15 to make knife handles, started taking billable work at 19, and now runs a precision shop in North Phoenix that goes after the tight-tolerance medical work a lot of shops won't touch. This one is part of our GenCNC series, and our co-host Nush, who's part of this generation herself, jumps in with the questions the rest of us wish we'd asked at that age. We get into how he actually built it: growing on cash flow and machine loans instead of outside investors, learning to program after hours with a tool and die mentor, and figuring out how to price work when you're brand new and have no idea what the market will bear. Stone's edge isn't a secret process. It's consistency, a refusal to send anything out of spec, and a willingness to take on parts he doesn't yet know how to make. He's also refreshingly honest about the parts nobody posts. The crashes, the jobs that go sideways, the days the whole thing feels like it's crumbling. His answer is mentors, a tight network of shop owners who actually pick up the phone, and the discipline to keep the lows from getting too low. Whether you're thinking about starting a shop or you've run one for thirty years, there's something here. Know where to spend money and where not to. Build a small team of people you can pay well. And find the niche where being excellent actually pays. That's making chips.

We're thrilled to welcome Mark Mallchok, the Principal and Chief Event Strategist at Brella Productions, as today's guest. Mark has extensive experience within our industry. He joins us to share his entrepreneurial journey, explain how his company evolved over the years, and discuss why engagement, human connection, and clear event goals are becoming more important than ever. Stay tuned for more! Events and Storytelling Mark grew up surrounded by theater, production, photography, and technology. Both his parents worked as librarians while also supporting technical theater, audiovisual production, and school events, giving him hands-on experience from an early age. Whether he was holding cameras, shooting football games, working on the yearbook, or teaching photography, he discovered early that he wanted a career built around events and storytelling. Corporate Events  Although Mark originally planned to become an actor, he quickly realized he preferred directing stories rather than performing them. After studying theater and film, he chose corporate video and corporate events because every project was different. Working across different industries, clients, and countries meant he could continue learning and solving new challenges every day. Continued Evolution When Mark and his business partner started their company, they knew they wanted work that was constantly changing rather than repeating the same production every day. Corporate events gave them exactly that. More than 30 years later, they continue evolving with new technologies, different clients, and changing industry needs. Delegating As the business grew, Mark quickly realized they could not continue doing everything themselves. Bringing in specialists for administration, bookkeeping, sales, IT, and other areas allowed them to focus on the work they enjoyed most and did best. Even today, they regularly review what should stay on their plate and what should be delegated. Learning from Mistakes If you never allow people to make mistakes, they never develop the experience needed to become experts. Mark believes people need opportunities to practice, solve problems, and occasionally fail before they can grow. If you keep control of every task yourself, your team never develops, and you remain responsible for everything. Problem Solving Risk mitigation is an important part of event production, but problems will always come up. Mark creates training exercises in which team members step outside their normal roles and handle unexpected situations. He believes personality and strong problem-solving skills are two of the most valuable qualities when hiring people. Peaks and Valleys Every business experiences peaks and valleys. Rather than waiting for business to improve, Mark believes slower periods provide the best opportunity to rethink what your company does particularly well. After COVID, Brella shifted its focus from production services to strategic event optimization, helping clients create events that are more efficient, more economical, and more engaging. Start With the Goal Before discussing venues, production, or logistics, Mark believes you first need to understand what the event is trying to achieve. Too many organizations cannot clearly explain their objectives, making it impossible to measure success. Once the goals are clear, meaningful KPIs can be developed for both the business and the audience. Measuring Outcomes  Mark believes event success should be measured by more than just attendance numbers or satisfaction surveys. Instead, you should evaluate whether people learned something valuable, made meaningful connections, improved their work, and achieved the intended business outcomes. He also tracks efficiencies, cost savings, and planning improvements throughout every project. Human Connection Content remains important, but Mark believes human connection is becoming even more valuable. Many events try to fit too much content into too little time, leaving almost no opportunity for people to talk, reflect, or build relationships. Longer breaks, less crowded agendas, and more opportunities for conversation create a more valuable event experience. AI While AI will continue improving work efficiency, Mark believes it will also increase the value of meeting people face-to-face. As technology makes it harder to know what is real, genuine human interaction becomes even more important. The time AI saves should ultimately allow people to spend more time building relationships, strengthening communities, and connecting.

There is nothing you can say with harshness that loving kindness can't do better. ...Today, Abbie and Susan unpack Susan's new book, Collaborative Hardball: Using the Power of a New Negotiation as Women to Change the World, and chat about the impact of a patriarchal world culture, negotiating at the level of rights and rules versus the level of needs and interests, and what a "new negotiation" looks like for women and everyone....For over thirty-five years, Susan Coleman has worked from war zones to boardrooms teaching people negotiation skills, mediating conflict, and supporting clients in collaborative change initiatives through facilitation and coaching. She has worked with tens of thousands of people in thirty-four countries, on just about every continent, and with hundreds of organizations, governments, teams, and individuals including the United Nations, NASA, Senior Women Leaders of the Government of Afghanistan, and Columbia University.  Her initiative with the UN ultimately resulted in over 100,000 professionals being trained in collaborative, intercultural negotiation, one of the larger peacebuilding initiatives on the planet. She started her professional journey as a litigator in New York City but detoured to the negotiation and conflict resolution field after attending the Kennedy School at Harvard.Coleman was born into one of the oldest colonial American families, where she has had a front row seat to the ironies of privilege, power, and patriarchy. Throughout her life, she has been an activist for evolutionary social change with a deep respect for both the diversity of humans and the natural world. ...Stories Lived.

Most family shops don't get a clean handoff. Somebody gets sick, the calendar moves faster than the plan, and one person has to decide whether to step in or let the doors close. That's the story Christy Subia lived at Bedard Machine, and it's why I wanted her on the show. Bedard is a 95% aerospace shop in Brea, California with 23 people and 17 machines. And four years ago it was almost none of what it is now. Christy came in from outside the industry while her dad's Alzheimer's was quietly pulling him away from the business he started in 1979. Her mom was ready to shut it down. Christy decided to find out if she could run it instead. What she's done since is the part every owner should hear. She nearly doubled revenue, not by chasing new customers, but by chasing bottlenecks. She cut a 12-week office lead time down to four, moved people into the roles they were actually built for, and turned a careful guy in shipping into the shop's first full-time inspector. She says it plainly: solve one bottleneck and it just moves to the next department, so you keep chasing it. We also get into the human side, which is harder than any tolerance. Working shoulder to shoulder with her mom. Earning her place as a woman on the floor. A notice of escape three weeks into the job that grounded planes, reminding her that she loves solving problems. And the advice she'd give anyone staring down a family transition: trust your gut, stay vulnerable, and lean on the experts who want to help you. This is the kind of conversation that reminds me why this industry is full of the finest people you'll meet. Christy's only four years in, and she's already sharper than folks who've been at it for decades. Grab a notepad for this one.

What small changes can you make in your everyday communicating that might create a big difference in your relationships? ...Today, Abbie and Julien explore the art, practices, and concepts behind positive communication, including the ways in which positive, generative styles of communicating can be the antidote to our hurting relationships and social worlds. ...Originally from Paris, France, Julien Mirivel traveled to the US in 1994 as a 15-year-old exchange student to learn English in Iowa. He returned in 1995 and formally graduated high school in 1996. The following academic year, he joined the University of Northern Iowa where he graduated in 2000 with a BA in Communication Studies. Following his degree, he has spent his entire adult life teaching and researching the nature of effective and ethical communication. Julien earned an MA in Communication Studies in 2002 and a PhD in Communication in 2005 – both degrees from the University of Colorado at Boulder. In 2005, Julien took his first job as an Assistant Professor of Applied Communication at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock -- where he has worked for the last 21 years. During this time, he has moved through numerous roles and ranks ultimately earning the rank of full professor with tenure and serving along the way as Director of the Academy for Teaching and Learning Excellence, as Chair of the Department of Criminal Justice, Associate Dean, and as Dean of the College of Social Sciences & Communication for three years. He is the co-founder of the Positive Communication Network, as well as the author of two books on positive communication published by Peter Lang: The Art of Positive Communication: Theory and Practice and How Communication Scholars Think and Act: A Lifespan Perspective. ...Stories Lived.

Taylor Jenkins didn't start out wanting to be a machinist. He wanted to fly planes.Then COVID hit, his plans changed, and he ended up in a composites program working with carbon fiber instead, chasing the same hands-on itch he'd had since high school building RC gliders and racing drones. From there he landed a job as a CNC operator in southern Utah almost by accident, just because he could already read a blueprint.A few shops, a few good mentors, and one really bad boss later, Taylor ended up running his own shop, Lone Wolf Precision, completely solo. No crew, no robots, just him, two Brother mills, and an auto saw he's genuinely proud of.In this episode, we get into:- His path from drone racing and RC planes into machining (it's a weirder story than you'd think)- The probe crash that almost killed his new Brother machine, and what it taught him about automation actually eating your "free time" instead of giving you more of it.- The aerospace shop that trained him right, including learning the CMM inspection feedback loop the hard way- The bad coworker situation that finally pushed him to leave that job for good- The six weeks he had to buy a machine and make a brand new production contract work, after turning down a job offer to do it- How he finds new work (hint: it's not LinkedIn), and why he fires customers who aren't worth the headache- The saw stop he designed because every shop bandsaw stop he's ever used has been garbageIf you're running your own shop, thinking about starting one, or just like hearing how somebody actually built theirs from the ground up, this one's worth the listen.

What does podcasting offer us?...Today, Abbie and Simone podcast about podcasting! Inspired by Simone's recently published book- Podcasting as a Research Method- this conversation explores both Abbie and Simone's experiences with podcasting, what they have learned along the way, and why this medium has their hearts....Simone Eringfeld is a researcher, polar guide, writer, and podcaster who prefers to maximize her time spent with penguins.She is a PhD researcher in Polar Studies at the Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge, where she studies Antarctica's changing soundscapes and approach listening as an embodied and epistemological practice. Her work draws on field experience in the Arctic and Antarctica, where I've contributed to expedition and science teams as a polar guide and field recordist.She is the author of Podcasting as a Research Method, a book that rethinks podcasting not just as a tool for science communication, but as a site of inquiry — where knowledge emerges through dialogue, voice, and relational engagement. Across my research, I'm particularly interested in creative methodologies, including sound-based approaches.Her background is interdisciplinary by design. I hold a Master's degree in Education from the University of Cambridge, where I produced award-winning research on the impact of COVID-19 on higher education. Before that, I completed three full-time Bachelor's degrees simultaneously (Philosophy, Literary & Cultural Studies, and International Relations).Alongside academia, she is the founder of The Smart Rebel, where I coach gifted, neurodivergent individuals and entrepreneurs to translate their intensity and complexity into meaningful, sustainable work....Stories Lived.

Are we underestimating our capacity for social change?...Today, Abbie and Karen discuss quanta, entanglement, and collapsing potential as they explore mattering and social change....Karen O'Brien is a Professor of Human Geography at the University of Oslo, Norway. She is also co-founder of cCHANGE, an organisation that supports deep and strategic engagement with transformations to sustainability. Her research on the human and social dimensions of environmental change emphasises integrative approaches, including how beliefs, values, worldviews, and paradigms influence systems change and social change. She is particularly interested in the relationship between adaptation and transformations to sustainability and in exploring how quantum social science can inform how we understand, engage with, and scale transformative change. In 2021, she was co-recipient of the BBVA Foundation's Frontiers of Knowledge Award for Climate Change. Karen's recent books include You Matter More Than You Think: Quantum Social Change for a Thriving World and Climate and Society: Transforming the Future (with Robin Leichenko). She has participated in four IPCC reports and is currently co-chair of the International Science-Policy Platform for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) transformative change assessment.

Mark discusses his background in management consulting and publishing, which ed to the creation of Convergence Mitigation Management (CMM) in 2010-2012. He explains how CMM facilitates peer-to-peer engagement between public and private sector leaders to address challenging issues, including environmental liabilities and technology innovation. This conversation ends with John introducing a topic about the transition of business value from baby boomers to the next generation.Mark then discusses the ongoing generational shift in wealth and business ownership, noting that while the impact of the "silver tsunami" hasn't fully materialized yet due to postponed retirements and COVID-era challenges, a significant transition is expected over the next decade. He highlights challenges in succession planning for family-owned businesses, where younger generations often lack interest in continuing the family business. Mark identifies an opportunity for business owners to preserve their legacy by transitioning to new owners, particularly noting that acquiring small to medium-sized businesses remains one of the best pathways into the business sector.John and Mark discuss the increased interest in buying businesses, noting that while more potential buyers exist now than in the past, many never follow through with purchases. They highlight the importance for business owners to carefully select qualified buyers who possess the necessary financial resources, management skills, and alignment with the business's values and legacy. Mark shares a specific example of a manufacturing company that successfully balanced profitability with sustainability, only to face challenges during a business transition, underscoring the complexities involved in selling a legacy business.They finish by discussing the challenges in private equity transactions, particularly the difficulty of selling businesses that have been cut to the bone. They note that while private equity focuses on EBITDA and short-term profitability, this approach can create a bubble that eventually collapses. Mark emphasizes the importance of maintaining the innovative DNA of enterprises beyond just financial metrics. John MartinkaJessica MartinkaContact us via either website or give us a call and be sure to check out our videoshttps://nokomisadvisory.com/https://www.martinkaconsulting.com/https://www.gddpodcast.buzzsprout.comhttps://www.youtube.com/c/JohnAMartinka/videos 425-515-4903

A perfect storm is brewing across the U.S. power generation fleet. Between 600 and 700 GE 7FA gas turbines installed during the bubble of 2000–2004—plus roughly 900 7EA units worldwide—are simultaneously approaching the OEM's 144,000-hour, 5,000-start end-of-life threshold. Superalloy forgings carry multi-year lead times. Only a handful of shops worldwide can service these machines. And the data center boom is pushing utilization higher than anyone planned for. In this episode, we sit down with three MD&A leaders driving the company's push to become an independent alternative for 7FA and 7EA rotor life extensions: • Dave Fernandes — Gas Turbine Program Manager • Kevin Roy — Principal Engineer, Parts • Jason Wheeler — Gas Turbine Rotor Repairs General Manager We trace the story from MD&A's early-2010s strategic pivot out of steam turbines and into gas turbines under then-CEO John Vanderhoef, through the acquisition of two never-fired machines—a 7FA.03 and a 7EA—that became the foundation of the reverse engineering effort. Kevin Roy explains why zero-hour components were essential, and why CMM and blue-light scanning only get you so far: coatings, shot peening, and surface finishes demand hands-on expertise no laser can replicate. We dig into the global hunt for vendors capable of producing high-temperature alloy forgings and holding tolerances on turbine-section components—a niche capability MD&A continues to expand for supply chain redundancy. Jason Wheeler walks through the quality regime: first-article scrutiny that carries into every production batch, with inspection standards more rigorous than what these vendors typically face elsewhere. The conversation turns to MD&A's seed rotor exchange program—modeled on its successful 7FH2 generator program—designed to compress customer downtime to removal, swap, and reinstall, with returned rotors entering the refurbishment cycle for the next customer. We also unpack what Fernandes calls "the three prongs": fleet-wide timing, multi-year forging lead times, and limited shop capacity worldwide. The conclusion is uncomfortable for operators who haven't started planning—parts needed three to five years from now must enter production today. Finally, we cover the milestone currently in MD&A's St. Louis shop: the first 7FA.03 rotor purchased specifically for the seed rotor program to complete the full production cycle, with newly manufactured wheels stacking perfectly alongside original serviceable components. And we discuss the 2026 delivery of a life-extended 7FA.03 rotor to a leading U.S. power producer—a vote of confidence from a famously risk-averse industry. Whether you're a utility planner staring down rotor end-of-life on your 7FA fleet, an asset manager weighing OEM dependence against supply chain risk, or an industry watcher tracking how independents are reshaping heavy-duty gas turbine services, this episode lays out where the bottlenecks are, what's been done about them, and why the window to act is narrowing fast.

**WELSTech 776 – Wholly Unauthorized** What happens when you feed years of podcast transcripts into an AI and ask it to roast your guests? Episode 776, that's what. Martin and Sallie are joined once again by their favorite EdTech duo — Dr. Rachel Renno (Martin Luther College) and Jason Schmidt (Oshkosh ISD) — but this time, the agenda was set by Claude. Using OpenAI's Whisper to transcribe 15+ episodes of past conversations, the team fed the archive into an AI chatbot and let it build a retrospective of Jason and Rachel's greatest hits, boldest predictions, and most quotable moments. With the snark meter turned up just a little, the results did not disappoint. On the docket: the "Don't Quote Me on That" Award, the Evolution Arc (how two tech enthusiasts slowly became tech realists), a lightning round neither host was fully prepared for, and the phrase that should be cross-stitched on a pillow — courtesy of Jason Schmidt. Also in this episode: MLC and WLS graduation and assignment season is here — find out how to watch the livestreams. Picks of the week include Apple's built-in iOS Password app (and its Chrome extension), the Privacy virtual card service, Google Flow Music, and OpenAI Whisper. Community feedback covers Wisconsin Act 89 and what school communication compliance means for WELS schools — including a look at ParentSquare, Talking Points, ClassDojo, and more. A love letter to longtime listeners. A mild roast of two very good sports. And proof that the archive has been listening all along.

**WELSTech Episode 775 — Cough Drops and Use Cases** Sallie's voice may not be at 100%, but the show must go on! In this episode of WELSTech, Martin and Sallie power through to explore one of the most practical questions in this Season of AI: what does AI actually look like in *your* ministry context? The WELS AI Task Force has been hard at work developing a set of top-10 AI use cases for three distinct ministry roles — pastoral ministry, teaching, and church/school administration. Martin and Sallie walk through highlights from each category, from sermon research and member communication to lesson planning, student feedback, and meeting transcription. Along the way, they apply the WELS AI Ethical Framework and Risk Matrix to help you think through not just *what* AI can do, but *how* to use it wisely. This is an audience participation episode — the task force wants your feedback! How is AI showing up in your ministry? Let them know. Also in this episode: - **Ministry Resource:** Two free NotebookLM cheat sheets from Ditch That Textbook — one for teachers, one for students - **Picks of the Week:** OZLO Sleepbuds (Martin) and Google Vids (Sallie) - **Community News:** WELSTech has a new home! The site has migrated to HubSpot at welstech.wels.net (now resolving to welstech.wels.org), with all 774 previous episodes along for the ride.

How can we turn the 'what ifs' into the 'why nots'?...Today, Abbie, Juanita, and Flavio discuss the World Cafe, including the history of how it came to be and how it continues to evolve in relationship with other approaches like Coordinated Management of Meaning and Appreciative Inquiry....Juanita Brown, PhD. is the Co-founder of the World Cafe with her partner, David Isaacs as well as the co-author, also with David, of the award winning book, The World Café: Shaping our Futures Through Conversations that Matter, now translated into 18 languages.

What if your AI assistant already knew your school handbook, your church’s mission statement, your newsletter archives — and you never had to explain any of it again? That’s the promise of AI workspaces, and in this episode Martin and Sallie break down how to put them to work in a ministry setting. The discussion AI workspaces – Gone are the days when you have to start every AI prompt with a lengthy list of background information to ensure proper context in your results. Martin and Sallie compare four AI companions and consider uses in ministry settings.

What if your AI assistant already knew your school handbook, your church's mission statement, your newsletter archives — and you never had to explain any of it again? That's the promise of AI workspaces, and in this episode Martin and Sallie break down how to put them to work in a ministry setting. The "big four" AI platforms — Claude, ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot — all offer some version of a persistent workspace where you can load documents, set instructions, and give your AI a running head start. Claude calls them Projects, Gemini calls them Gems, and Copilot offers Notebooks. Martin walks through how he uses these tools for WELSTech production, the WELS AI Task Force, the WELS strategic plan, and even Lutheran theology — and shares a memorable analogy: it's the difference between a substitute teacher and the one who built the lesson plans and knows the students. Practical use cases explored include principals loading staff handbooks and curriculum, pastors uploading text studies and constitution documents, and church council leaders organizing strategic planning materials. Sallie adds her own example using Copilot agents for data reporting with SQL — no more re-explaining context every time. The conversation wraps up with honest cautions: workspaces aren't set-it-and-forget-it, AI can still hallucinate, and human discernment remains essential. Sallie reminds listeners that a great companion document to any AI workspace you set up is the WELS AI Ethical Framework.

Robotic and autonomous cleaning equipment are the top choice for future purchases among 36% of facility managers, according to the CMM 2026 In-House/Facility Management Benchmarking Survey. Artificial intelligence-powered platforms and indoor air quality devices each attract 15% interest, while antimicrobial surfaces or sprays interest 14%. However, 43% of respondents have no plans to invest in new cleaning technology due to cost concerns, with 42% seeking affordable solutions. Effectiveness is the primary factor in choosing cleaning products, prioritized by 62% of managers. Budget allocations for cleaning supplies vary, with 40% dedicating 21% to 40% of their operating budget. Common purchases include hand soap, sanitizers, and cleaners, while measurement equipment is less frequently bought. Industry publications are the main information source for 73% of respondents.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Jay and Andrew begin with a deceptively simple question: what actually makes a company “lean”? Starting with a quote from Shigeo Shingo, they challenge the common misconception that lean is just Kanban, and explore the deeper reality that lean is less about specific tools and more about principles, tradeoffs, and context.From there, Andrew shares a deep dive into labor tracking and ERP data, uncovering how much work was happening that never made it into cost calculations, and why “door-to-door” time matters more than overly segmented tracking. Jay pushes back with the tension every shop feels: data is only valuable if it leads to action, and too much friction in systems can break team buy-in entirely.The episode then shifts into Andrew's current challenge: producing tight-tolerance parts that his team can't fully verify in-house. They take a candid look at outsourcing vs. vertical integration, the true cost of CMM capability, and the uncomfortable position of shipping parts you can't independently validate. Jay talks about why he bought a CMM earlier than expected, what he regrets, and how fast feedback loops can change everything.

Andrew shares insights with Jay from a recent lean-focused shop tour with Paul Akers. The conversation goes to the hidden dangers of batch processing vs. one-piece flow, why takt time can matter more than cycle time, how to identify and eliminate waste at the micro-task level, and why “don't solve problems until they exist” is often the best strategy They also explore practical challenges like line balancing, inspection differences (CMM vs. vision systems), and the surprising complexity of measuring quality in manufacturing. Plus, a candid discussion on whether shop tours actually scale, charging for tours vs. giving them away, and turning knowledge into a valuable product instead of a free commodity.

What is your practice of systems thinking?...Today, Abbie and Gerald explore the ongoing practice of defining and redefining systems; the relationship between boundaries and meaning-making; the impact of moral forces on naming the 'sacred' and 'profane;' the inter-relational complexity that goes beyond otherness and belonging: the twin myths of non-intervention and non-communication; the connection between reason and emotion; and the emergent nature of systems. ...Gerald Midgley is an Emeritus Professor of Systems Thinking in the Centre for Systems Studies, University of Hull, UK. He also holds visiting professorships at the University of Birmingham (UK), the Australian National University and Linnaeus University (Sweden).

Andrew and Jay walk through a situation a lot of shop owners have faced: a brutally tight print that can be machined but can't be verified with confidence. At least not without the right metrology, systems, and alignment with the customer.Instead of rushing a quote or ghosting the RFQ, this is the kind of situation you have to handle like an owner. In other words, slow down, ask uncomfortable questions, protect the relationship, refuse to roll the dice on quality.Andrew and Jay dig into that and a lot more, from CMM alignment war stories to probing macros, SMED, automation vs. operator error, and why a shop full of green lights doesn't always mean things are healthy. The thread running through all of it is simple: speed, precision, and profit are decided long before the spindle starts turning.

This week I talk with Ethan Perrin about MIT Formula SAE, building the Miters West shop, and why a small fiber laser and press brake changed how he prototypes. We also hit rescuing CMM's on a budget and his alumni EV formula car.

Kap is staying away from Twitter in 2026… The Rams got a great draw with CAR next weekend, Kap thinks they have the clearest path to the SB. Is it? CMM argues the Rams didn't finish strong and Kap tells everyone he bought a sex toy at Walmart. Is momentum a thing in the NFL playoffs? Sedano makes the point that a “strong finish” doesn't necessarily mean playoff success. Can the “old man” LeBron keep up his high level play all season? Why is JJ so perplexed by the Lakers' offense?
