Leslie welcomes back Scott Paul, President of the Alliance for American Manufacturing, to explore why the coming year could be a turning point for U.S. manufacturing. He breaks down how easing interest rates, clearer trade policy, and a steadier economy may finally give manufacturers the confidence to invest, expand, and hire after several uneven years. Scott and Leslie also look at the growing wave of factory openings and why the real impact often shows up after construction—when workers are hired and local supplier networks take shape. The conversation digs into tariffs and trade policy, including what “tariff predictability” means for businesses and how the U.S.–China manufacturing relationship is shifting toward supply-chain security. Leslie and Scott close by examining workforce challenges, new short-term training pathways, and the growing competition between manufacturing and AI data centers for workers, energy, and materials. Overall, the episode offers a clear-eyed but optimistic look at what's ahead for American manufacturing.

Chris Papst is an awarding winning reporter and the author of "Failure Factory: How Baltimore City Public Schools Deprive Taxpayers and Students of a Future."We had a great conversation.You can probably imagine what we talked about. I hope you find it as interesting as I did.
Drew Perkins talks with investigative reporter Chris Papst about his book, Failure Factory: How Baltimore City Public Schools Deprive Taxpayers and Students of a Future . Papst, a reporter for Project Baltimore, shares his deep-dive into why one of the most funded school systems in America remains one of the lowest performing . From systemic grade manipulation to the misuse of school funds, this conversation explores the "end stages" of a failing public education system and serves as a critical warning for the rest of the country . Links & Resources Mentioned In This Episode Video version available at: https://youtu.be/LO5ZHmYJzEA Papst details the findings of his multi-year investigation, which uncovered "the 50% rule"—a policy preventing students from receiving grades below 50%, regardless of attendance or performance—and instances where principals directly ordered teachers to change failing grades to passing. He argues that the focus has shifted from educating children to acquiring funding and growing the power of the school system. The discussion also touches on the role of teachers' unions, the transition of teaching from a "profession to a job," and the emergence of "diploma mills" that exploit old state laws. Despite the systemic issues, Papst highlights "shining examples" like Cecil Elementary, where leadership has achieved high proficiency rates despite facing the same challenges as neighboring schools. Finally, the conversation looks at the national implications of these findings and the critical need for accountability in public education. Papst emphasizes that while the situation is dire, it is correctable through transparency and a refocus on student learning rather than adult-centered bureaucracy.

See more: https://thinkfuture.substack.comConnect with Jordan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordon-millward-13115600---Our education system was built for the industrial age—so why are we still using it in the age of AI?In this episode of thinkfuture, host Chris Kalaboukis speaks with Jordon, a PhD student at Imperial College London and founder of Ask Jordon Ltd, an education consultancy focused on making learning more accessible, engaging, and future-ready.Jordon argues that modern education is still optimized for standardization, compliance, and rapid workforce onboarding—not for creativity, adaptability, or lifelong learning. As AI reshapes how knowledge is accessed and applied, he believes the traditional lecture-and-exam model is increasingly out of sync with reality.We explore:- Why the current education system was designed for factories, not futures- How exam-based assessment suppresses independent thinking- The case for competency-based and project-based learning- How AI could provide personalized, asynchronous support for students- Why teachers should shift from lecturers to facilitators- The risk of schools banning or over-standardizing AI instead of embracing it- A future divide between innovative “maverick” institutions and resistant onesJordon's vision is bold but grounded: education should help people learn how to learn, not just memorize information. AI, when used correctly, could finally make that possible at scale.If you're interested in AI, education reform, lifelong learning, or the future of work, this episode will challenge many assumptions you may still be holding.
As we kick off the new year, Talking Industrial Automation revisits a listener-favorite conversation with Matt Wise, CEO of E-Tech Group—one of Control Engineering and Plant Engineering's 2025 System Integrator of the Year award winners. Matt shares how he explains automation as "the brains of the factory," why marketing and business strategy matter just as much as engineering, and how E-Tech Group scaled into one of North America's largest system integrators through acquisition, talent, and long-term vision. The conversation explores today's biggest industry challenges—from labor shortages and rising complexity to AI, multi-site automation, tariffs, and uncertainty—and what it takes to guide clients through them as a true automation partner. Whether you're a system integrator, manufacturer, or industry leader looking to start the year with fresh perspective, this encore episode delivers practical insights on growth, leadership, and the future of industrial automation.
They admit it themselves, some of these protesters are paid by left-wing NGOs, using your tax dollars to destroy the country from within. But how many of them do, and how many are just sheeple? Jim Carafano is here to talk Greenland realities, and Jimmy Failla, our 971 comedian host is here to talk about Saturday at the Factory.
No! Says Jimmy Failla, who's coming to the Factory on Saturday. It was politically homeless comedians who weren't afraid to push the boundaries, finding themselves soft-cancelled, and not shutting up anyway.
AI data centers are no longer just buildings full of racks. They are tightly coupled systems where power, cooling, IT, and operations all depend on each other, and where bad assumptions get expensive fast. On the latest episode of The Data Center Frontier Show, Editor-in-Chief Matt Vincent talks with Sherman Ikemoto of Cadence about what it now takes to design an “AI factory” that actually works. Ikemoto explains that data center design has always been fragmented. Servers, cooling, and power are designed by different suppliers, and only at the end does the operator try to integrate everything into one system. That final integration phase has long relied on basic tools and rules of thumb, which is risky in today's GPU-dense world. Cadence is addressing this with what it calls “DC elements”: digitally validated building blocks that represent real systems, such as NVIDIA's DGX SuperPOD with GB200 GPUs. These are not just drawings; they model how systems really behave in terms of power, heat, airflow, and liquid cooling. Operators can assemble these elements in a digital twin and see how an AI factory will actually perform before it is built. A key shift is designing directly to service-level agreements. Traditional uncertainty forced engineers to add large safety margins, driving up cost and wasting power. With more accurate simulation, designers can shrink those margins while still hitting uptime and performance targets, critical as rack densities move from 10–20 kW to 50–100 kW and beyond. Cadence validates its digital elements using a star system. The highest level, five stars, requires deep validation and supplier sign-off. The GB200 DGX SuperPOD model reached that level through close collaboration with NVIDIA. Ikemoto says the biggest bottleneck in AI data center buildouts is not just utilities or equipment; it is knowledge. The industry is moving too fast for old design habits. Physical prototyping is slow and expensive, so virtual prototyping through simulation is becoming essential, much like in aerospace and automotive design. Cadence's Reality Digital Twin platform uses a custom CFD engine built specifically for data centers, capable of modeling both air and liquid cooling and how they interact. It supports “extreme co-design,” where power, cooling, IT layout, and operations are designed together rather than in silos. Integration with NVIDIA Omniverse is aimed at letting multiple design tools share data and catch conflicts early. Digital twins also extend beyond commissioning. Many operators now use them in live operations, connected to monitoring systems. They test upgrades, maintenance, and layout changes in the twin before touching the real facility. Over time, the digital twin becomes the operating platform for the data center. Running real AI and machine-learning workloads through these models reveals surprises. Some applications create short, sharp power spikes in specific areas. To be safe, facilities often over-provision power by 20–30%, leaving valuable capacity unused most of the time. By linking application behavior to hardware and facility power systems, simulation can reduce that waste, crucial in an era where power is the main bottleneck. The episode also looks at Cadence's new billion-cycle power analysis tools, which allow massive chip designs to be profiled with near-real accuracy, feeding better system- and facility-level models. Cadence and NVIDIA have worked together for decades at the chip level. Now that collaboration has expanded to servers, racks, and entire AI factories. As Ikemoto puts it, the data center is the ultimate system—where everything finally comes together—and it now needs to be designed with the same rigor as the silicon inside it.

Economic Realities: Chinese Struggles and U.S. Consumer Strength. Guest: CHRIS RIEGEL, CEO of Stratacache. China's economy is struggling, evidenced by declining imports of raw materials and factory workers facing destitution. In contrast, the U.S. economy remains strong, with banner retail sales during the Christmas season. However, the "K-shaped" economy shows consumer fatigue in the quick-service restaurant sector.1965 SHANGHAI

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1245: Honda unveils a brand-wide logo reboot, Tesla brings its massive Texas lithium refinery online, and U.S. workers pump the brakes on job-hopping—opting for stability and side hustles instead. Show Notes with links: Honda is officially going all-in on its new, wider “H” badge. What started as an EV-only identifier will now represent Honda's entire automotive business—from gas and hybrid vehicles to dealerships and motorsports—blending retro roots with a future-facing look.Honda's new badge, inspired by its 1960s-era logo, is wider, frameless, and intentionally more modern.Originally reserved for the upcoming 0 Series EVs, the logo will now appear across all Honda vehicles, including ICE and hybrids.The brand says the move unifies Honda's identity as electrification and internal combustion will coexist longer than once expected.Unlike many “flattened” rebrands, this logo leans on heritage while still fitting next-gen EV design language.Honda says the badge will “represent [the] Honda automobile business as a whole, including… dealership locations, communication initiatives, and automobile motorsports activities.”Tesla just flipped the switch on its Texas lithium refinery, bringing battery-grade lithium hydroxide production fully online. The company says it's the first refinery of its kind in North America—and a big step toward controlling more of its EV supply chain at home.The Corpus Christi-area facility converts raw spodumene ore directly into battery-grade lithium hydroxide, skipping common intermediate steps.Tesla says the simplified process is cheaper, faster, and more sustainable than traditional lithium refining methods.From groundbreaking in 2023 to operation in 2026, Tesla fast-tracked the project by running design, studies, and construction in parallel.Elon Musk called it “the largest lithium refinery in America” and added that it's “the most advanced lithium refinery in the world” and “very clean.”After years of churn, the job market has slammed the brakes. New data shows workers are far less likely to job hunt in 2026, choosing stability and side hustles instead as hiring slows and confidence drops across the U.S. workforce.Only 43% of workers plan to job search in 2026, down sharply from 93% last year, according to Monster.Economists are calling 2025 a “hiring recession,” with the weakest job gains outside a recession since 2003.About 75% of employees say they plan to stay put until at least 2027, a trend known as “job hugging.”Instead of switching jobs, nearly two-thirds of workers are turning to side hustles or extra income streams.Monster's Vicki Salemi says workers aren't disengaged, just cautious: “They're basically playing theJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

STARBASE AND THE MECHAZILLA CATCH Colleague Eric Berger. The final segment centers on Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas, where SpaceX built a modern rocket factory on swampland to construct the massive Starship. Berger details the "Chopstick" system, a tower designed to catch returning Super Heavy boosters to eliminate landing legs and enable rapid reuse. This fully reusable system, larger than the Saturn V, is the "endgame" for Musk's vision. Berger describes the operational concept: fleets of Starships refueling in orbit via tankers, then departing for Mars in waves every two years to establish a permanent human presence.

Pour commencer l'année en beauté, je suis heureuse de vous proposer un épisode de Demain N'attend Pas avec une artiste plasticienne que j'adore : Mathilde de l'Ecotais, très engagée sur les sujets sociaux et environnementaux.Photographe de métier, mais aussi réalisatrice, plasticienne, designeuse d'espaces…Mathilde explore sans relâche la matière de nos aliments et nous donne à voir le vivant. Elle photographie carottes, poissons et légumes en macro, traversés par la lumière, révélant des paysages cosmiques, des univers secrets. Dans ses photos, notre nourriture révèle la magie de la terre nourricière.Ensemble, on parle :de joie de vivre et d'émerveillement, ce muscle à travailler en permanence si on ne veut pas que notre regard s'émousse. du rôle de l'art pour nous faire voir la beauté du vivant. Mais Mathilde est aussi fondatrice et soutien actif d'ONG dès qu'un sujet lui serre le cœur. Et s'il y a un sujet qui est important pour elle, c'est bien celui de l'inégalité de départ, presque insurmontable, à laquelle tant de jeunes font face. Elle qui n'a pas le bac sait qu'on peut apprendre autrement que sur les bancs d'écolier, en faisant, sur le terrain... si on vous donne votre chance. Alors Mathilde a créé Media Social Factory, une formation courte, gratuite, pour celles et ceux qui veulent travailler dans le monde de l'image. Avec cette association, elle veut ouvrir des portes, donner une chance, ne laisser personne derrière. A son tour de rendre ce qui lui a été donné et d'apporter sa pierre à la société. Je continue à penser à ce que Mathilde nous dit à la fin de cet échange sur la force et la joie que procure l'engagement."Faire la différence, c'est un truc de malade ! Ça vaut tout l'or du monde. Tu as l'impression de vivre."Il y a des rencontres qui vous remettent en mouvement. Celle avec Mathilde de l'Ecotais en fait partie. J'espère que cette discussion avec Mathilde vous permettra de commencer l'année en beauté !
After an exciting two years with Mondraker Factory Racing, our guy Dak has moved to Scott DH Factory and signed a three-year deal. So naturally, we had to podcast about it. We wanted all the details on what prompted his departure from Mondraker, what attracted him to Scott, his goals and expectations for the upcoming season now that he's mostly recovered from his injury, and most importantly: will he still be running 75mm rise bars on his new Gambler? Per usual, Dak was transparent about what he's seeking from a team at this point in his career, the reality of having to prove he's still a podium contender post-injury, and his newfound appreciation for the opportunity he has to keep racing his bike. We hope you enjoy the conversation!

THE FACTORY GUY Colleague Mark Clifford, The Troublemaker. By 1975, Jimmy Lai had risen from a child laborer to a factory owner, purchasing a bankrupt garment facility using stock market profits. Despite being a primary school dropout who learned English from a dictionary, Lai succeeded through relentless work and charm. He capitalized on the boom in American retail sourcing, winning orders from Kmart by producing samples overnight and eventually building Comitex into a leading sweater manufacturer, embodying the Hong Kong dream.

STARSHIP: THE FULLY REUSABLE ARCHITECTURE FOR MARS Colleague Eric Berger. At Boca Chica, Texas, SpaceX transformed a swamp into "Starbase," a modern rocket factory for the Starship and Super Heavy launch system. Starship represents the endgame of Musk's vision: a fully reusable rocket larger than the Saturn V, designed to be caught by "chopstick" arms on the launch tower to eliminate landing legs and speed up reuse. The plan involves orbital refueling and launching fleets of ships every two years to transport massive amounts of cargo, serving as a "Grand Central Station" for deep space colonization.
