Welcome back to The Collision Vision, driven by Autobody News. I'm your host, Cole Strandberg. There are people in this industry who build great businesses. There are others who have an incredible ability to identify opportunities, attract great people, and build organizations around them. Today's guest has spent his career doing both. Jacob Tilzer is the Founder and Managing Partner of Accrual Equity Partners, but many in the collision industry know him best as the founder of Kaizen Collision, which he built from a single location into one of the industry's fastest-growing multi-shop operators. But the Kaizen story is really only part of this conversation. Today, Jacob is building again — investing in and growing businesses across automotive, assembling an incredible team at Accrual Equity Partners, and partnering with entrepreneurs and operators to build the next generation of automotive companies. And this one is a little personal for me. Jacob is one of the guys responsible for bringing me into the organization I'm part of today, NBB, and I've had a front-row seat to one of the things I find most interesting about him: his ability to convince incredibly talented people to come build alongside him. His ability to create, and share, a vision. We'll talk about his journey, the rise of Kaizen, what he learned scaling and ultimately exiting the business, and how those lessons influence the way he invests and builds today. We'll also get into the opportunity he sees across automotive, what he looks for in businesses and founders, how he thinks about talent, and what he believes the next generation of great automotive platforms will look like. Because ultimately, building something great isn't just about finding the right opportunity. It's about finding the right people to build it with. Let's get into it.

For about a year, NYU mathematician Tristan Buckmaster and a researcher at Anthropic had been working on an obscure approach to one of the famous Clay Institute "millennium prize" problems (with $1 million on the line)—running their drafts through private OpenAI Codex sessions hosted on OpenAI's servers. When a step forward emerged (a result related to "blow-up" in the Euler equations of fluid dynamics), accusations flew that OpenAI's model had essentially "copied their homework"—learning from their private work and then producing the result itself. The host uses it to open up what he thinks is the defining debate of the era: when you collaborate with an AI, and it helps you reach an insight you genuinely pushed it toward, who owns the result? He walks through the emerging solutions—Alex Karp of Palantir's "put something in the middle" approach, versus self-hosting an open-source model behind your own servers with your own tuned "weights" so your inputs stay proprietary even as the world uses your outputs. He's candid that he's genuinely torn: as someone building his own project (Kaizen), he admits feeling the impulse to keep some paths secret for a six-month lead, while also arguing that since AI was trained on all of humanity, there's an obligation to keep letting it aggregate humanity's breakthroughs—especially in a field like medicine, where he shares a personal story about a family member's cancer and how siloed, firewalled medical data made coordination nearly impossible. His most provocative point is psychological: that the reason people aren't celebrating even a real (if modest) step forward is a raw human fear of being made to feel irrelevant—that "I can't let it be the AI that did this." He closes on his recurring throughline: rather than running to the government to regulate AI (which he thinks would hurt the open-source models that are the real check on Big AI), the open market and open source should be allowed to solve this—letting young upstarts protect their proprietary "weights" and compete, so a handful of giant companies can't hoard the breakthroughs.The team breaks down a sharp escalation in the Iran conflict and maps how it connects to a much bigger global picture. The immediate news: an intensifying tanker war in the Strait of Hormuz, with the IRGC claiming its largest attack of the war (striking multiple vessels and claiming hits on US destroyers), the US reportedly sinking eight Iranian oil tankers over four days, and Iran launching 20 ballistic missiles at a US base in Jordan—of which Jordan says 18 were intercepted and two hit empty desert, with no casualties reported. The host stresses a key caveat: with the IRGC claiming major damage and the Pentagon denying it, the truth is genuinely murky, and neither side's account should be taken at face value. He reads the "2-for-1" retaliation pattern and Rubio's "shoot at our ships and you lose tankers" posture as a deliberate US strategy of disproportionate response—while flagging the real risk that Iran is trying to bait the US into depleting munitions it may need for two other potential fights: a cornered, economically flailing Germany squaring off with a declining Russia, and the looming US-China collision. From there he lays out his central framework: that the US and China are two "wounded animals," both the largest economies, both feeling a narrow window, both pressing—China racing to divorce from the dollar (he floats his own contested theory that they may back the yuan with gold), reshore chip-making, and potentially move on Taiwan by 2027, because the deeper prize underneath everything is AI, and AI runs on chips. He argues energy undergirds the entire board, which is why the Strait, the Houthi attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure, OPEC fracturing, and the Venezuela play all matter, and offers his read on why the US actually entered Iran (securing GCC capital for the AI bet, under the banner of non-proliferation). He's candid about which parts are his interpretation, flags his gold-backed-yuan idea as highly contested, and lands on his recurring throughline: a multipolar world is coming, and the real question is what kind of "overlord" order the world ends up choosing—one you can vote out, or one you can't.The team connects a series of escalating global stories that the host argues are increasingly becoming one convergent conflict. First, Iran: the Revolutionary Guard reportedly fired hypersonic ballistic missiles at a US aircraft carrier and a guided-missile destroyer in the Strait of Hormuz—a dramatic escalation from base and drone attacks—with both ships evading and no Americans hurt, after which US forces struck and reportedly sank Iranian oil tankers. The host frames a country as most dangerous when it's weakest, and notes Bessent's argument that Iran is running out of the pre-purchased Chinese oil money keeping it afloat, meaning the coming months could get more dangerous before any off-ramp. Second, Europe: reports that Germany is moving toward direct conflict with Russia (closing Russian consulates, restricting entry after a drone incident), which could trigger NATO and pull in the US—complicated by the rise of Germany's AfD party (now reportedly the second-largest, around 23% to the leading party's ~30%), which has floated exiting the EU. Third, diplomacy: Witkoff and Kushner arriving to broker talks, with a reported 72-hour agreement between Putin and Zelensky not to strike each other's capitals (though front-line fighting continues and a broader ceasefire was rejected)—the host cautiously optimistic given their Abraham Accords track record, while noting their recent results have been thinner. Fourth, the US-Venezuela deal versus China, which claims its own competing, "internationally protected" interest there—prompting the host's blunt aside that "international law" is really just a function of who holds the most power. And finally, the bigger economic picture: a Nordic country reportedly selling ~$80B in US Treasuries, central banks buying gold in historic amounts (with gold reportedly overtaking US debt as the top reserve asset), and the resurfaced Ray Dalio warning about what happens when an empire has to start buying its own debt. The host's throughline: the US has a real opportunity—if it rebuilds a genuine moral center, restores fiscal discipline, and competes with China by being genuinely better for partner nations (Venezuela being the key test)—but the window is closing, and a multipolar world can deliver either the benefits of real competition or the dangers of everyone violently choosing sides.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Overstepping ownership rarely looks like overstepping. It looks like moving things along.You know how something could be improved, so you give your suggestion. Work gets done, progress is visible, but the person you were there to develop doesn't build the capability they need, and the improvement doesn't sustain.Every change leader, manager, and executive does this at some point. And when we take on ownership of what isn't ours, we end up the bottleneck.As a transformational change leader at Kaiser Permanente, Anna Pessah watches this play out every day with the internal consulting team she leads, and with the physician and operational leaders she supports.We break down this challenge and share the practices to use instead. Leaders don't need to stop helping or teaching. It's about getting clear about what each person owns, and adjusting how you help based on what that leader needs in the moment.When ownership sits in the right place, people grow, improvements hold, and you have the space to do what is actually yours to do.You'll Learn:How to make ownership explicit from the start, by contracting up front and saying out loud which hat you're wearing, coach or consultant or teacherWhy leaders learn good coaching practices best by being coached, and how making your own practice visible lets others model itWhy the pull to step in gets stronger the more you care about the outcomeWhy a new practice often swings too far one direction at first, and how to find the middle without abandoning itWhen asking coaching questions stops being helpful, and how to be directive without taking over the thinkingABOUT MY GUEST:Anna Pessah leads the internal consulting team that oversees the operating system at the North Valley Service Area of Kaiser Permanente, where she coaches physician and operational leaders on strategy, management systems, and the behaviors that support a culture of improvement. She is an industrial engineer from the University of Michigan and an ICF-certified coach. Anna brings a blend of systems thinking, operational improvement, and leadership development to help leaders generate insight, turn goals into action, and build habits that stick.IMPORTANT LINKS:Full episode show notes: ChainOfLearning.com/83 Connect with Anna Pessah: linkedin.com/in/anna-pessah Follow me on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/kbjanderson Subscribe to my newsletter: kbjanderson.com/newsletter Check out my website for resources and working together: KBJAnderson.comTIMESTAMPS FOR THIS EPISODE:03:16 Why change leaders struggle to keep ownership with leaders05:22 When helping starts creating dependence06:15 Building capability instead of becoming the bottleneck07:12 Why doing more can make your job harder09:23 Getting explicit about roles and ownership11:25 Why new practices require reflection and adjustment13:17 Making your leadership practices visible16:03 How to give direction without taking over22:16 What happens when leaders operate at the wrong level24:05 The personal cost of staying in the weeds25:30 Why helping can turn into overstepping27:43 When coaching questions aren't helpful31:25 The power of listening—and leaving space36:46 Why humility is essential to learning38:18 Recognizing your own pull to control39:06 Simple practices for keeping ownership where it belongs Learn more and apply for the November 2026 cohort of my Japan Leadership Experience: https://kbjanderson.com/japantrip/

There have been many films and documentaries about the thrill and struggle of climbing Everest and with social media it has become an ever more popular destination.  Just this year a French youtuber has broken audience records for his film ‘Kaizen' about his challenge that he made to conquer Everest in just one year.  Over the past century, over 340 climbers have died on its peaks, with 2015 being the deadliest year with 22 fatalities. Most deaths result from avalanches, falls, and mountain sickness, which occurs at high altitudes due to low oxygen levels and can cause fatal brain or lung edema. Isn't Everest extremely dangerous?

欢迎收听雪球出品的财经有深度，雪球，国内领先的集投资交流交易一体的综合财富管理平台，聪明的投资者都在这里。今天分享的内容叫中报雷声里，如何分辨“主动摔跤”与“被动挨打”，来自KAIZEN投资之道。一、主动摔跤和被动挨打，差在三个细节同样是利润下滑，有些公司是趁行业低谷把商誉、坏账、存货一次性提足，把脏东西全冲掉。这种"洗澡"如果配上三个动作，性质就变了：回购注销没停、分红没砍、经营现金流反而改善。这说明管理层用真金白银投票，他们比我们更清楚明年日子好不好过。反过来，被动挨打的公司有个特征：利润降了，应收账款却大幅增长，经营现金流远低于净利润甚至为负，分红缩水，负债率还往上走。这种公司利润表再好看，我也敬而远之。巴菲特说厨房里不会只有一只蟑螂，但如果你看到的那只已经被踩死扔出去了，厨房可能比之前更干净。二、二阶导：刹车灯比车速表更重要利润增速是后视镜，等你看到它转正，股价早就飞了。我盯的是二阶导——变化的变化。利润还在降，但降幅收窄了；收入还在跌，但毛利率环比抬头了；现金流没完全转正，但应收和存货开始往下走了。这些才是拐点前兆。以2026年中报季为例，全市场业绩分化极其剧烈。半导体设备、存储芯片、PCB等AI算力上游赛道，多数公司净利润同比增速在50%到300%之间；而大众消费、传统制造等领域，多数公司业绩仅个位数增长，甚至还在下滑。其中有一批毛利环比改善、二阶导亮绿灯的公司值得深挖。约翰·博格说过，你不可能做着和别人一样的事，却期待表现比他们好。大多数人看到利润下滑就卖，少数人应该盯着二阶导的变化买。三、重新定义错杀：三个硬指标跌得多不等于错杀。我买错杀蓝筹，先过三关。第一，市占率提升。收入降幅必须小于行业平均降幅，最好能拉开五个百分点以上。这说明小厂在死，它在抢地盘。比如扬农化工2026年中报，归母净利润7.9亿元，同比微降2%，但原药销量同比增长8.5%、均价上涨3%，实现量价齐升。在农药行业"反内卷"加速的背景下，小产能加速退出，龙头市占率持续提升。利润微降只是短期扰动，抢地盘的能力才是未来弹性的来源。第二，自由现金流收益率大于5%。自由现金流除以市值，超过5%就相当于拿了一张票息逐年增长的债券。利润可以洗澡，现金流不会说谎。以华谊集团为例，2026年中报归母净利润4.9亿元，同比几乎持平，但每股经营现金流从0.48元飙升至2.90元，增长超过5倍，现金流与净利润的倍数达到12.6倍。毛利率从7.82%提升至9.41%，扣非每股收益0.27元甚至高于基本每股收益0.23元，说明主业盈利能力比报表呈现的更强。这种公司利润表看着平淡，但现金流的爆发力已经说明一切。第三，暴雷后资产负债表更干净。一次性减值出清后，净资产更扎实，负债率下降。伊利2026年中报计提24.6亿减值后，澳优商誉的历史包袱大幅减轻，核心经营利润率反而创了新高。扣非净利润和归母净利润差额巨大，但剔除减值后经营利润反而增长的公司，明年很可能出现低基数加高增长的戴维斯双击。四、杠铃策略：红利守底，周期进攻，现金兜底我现在的仓位结构很明确：四成放在红利类资产上。水电、高速、运营商这些，股息率四到六个点，利润波动小，市场恐慌时跟着跌就是给你加仓的机会。中证红利全收益指数近十年年化收益约8%至9%，最大回撤约27%，显著低于沪深300的38%以上，熊市里拿得住。三成用来赌周期反转的弹性。化工、农药、消费里的龙头，中报越难看，我越要扒开看二阶导有没有改善。彼得·林奇的PEG公式很好用：未来三年利润复合增速能回到10%以上，当前PE不超过15倍，我才会下手。PE还高于20倍、利润还在下滑的，故事再好听也不碰。最后留三成现金做超级安全带。这笔钱不是躺在那里睡觉的，而是我的"战略预备队"。市场恐慌性杀跌时，别人在割肉，我在翻购物清单。三成现金意味着即便周期仓判断失误、红利仓遭遇极端回撤，我依然有充足的弹药在最便宜的位置加仓，而不必被迫在最差的时候卖出。牛市里现金拖累收益，但熊市里现金就是期权——它给我的不是回报，而是选择权。总结回到朋友的问题。我说，你看到的是扣非净利润跌两成，我看到的是管理层在用手里的筹码投票。现金流暴增229%、核心利润率创新高、一次性减值出清历史包袱——这些动作比任何券商研报都诚实。蓝筹中报集体变脸，是价值投资的一场成人礼。它逼着我们从利润表转向资产负债表，从一阶导转向二阶导，从满仓死扛转向杠铃配置。潮水退去，悲观者负责正确，乐观者负责赚钱，而我要做的，是在悲观者的正确里，找到乐观者的赔率。雷声还没停，但我的购物清单已经写好了。

Ftz and McShane open with beer talk—Hopworks' Fuzzy Navel peach sour, Abomination's Fall Harvester sour, plus stouts—before diving into the week's narratives. They highlight the UK Home Office's nine-page “Understanding behaviors and expectations” pamphlet for asylum seekers warning about women's rights, rape, and domestic abuse, then mock interviews where officials dodge whether it admits a migrant crime problem while the UK PM touts removals. They discuss the Jason Arday plagiarism scandal and a Kaizen analogy arguing universities protected Arday because of race and ignored scrutiny until it ended tragically. The hosts question climate-paper funding incentives, then slam California's first-in-nation rule phasing out most replacement tires by rolling-resistance standards, arguing it raises costs and reduces safety. They bring in Jefe for casino stories and later a “farm report” on the bombardier beetle's chemical “micro-explosions,” plus quick hits on China's World Robotics Games. They expose Democratic-city donor-matching programs—spotlighting Karen Bass' LA pitch and ActBlue tie-ins—calling it taxpayer-funded campaign amplification. They also cover Trump's temporary ground-beef import tariff relief, a Dearborn council rant about Sharia law, and CNN's critique of RFK Jr.'s “Real Food” cooking segments, arguing the network misrepresents per-serving costs and ignores pantry economics.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/razor-wire-news--5683729/support.www.razorwirenews.com

Fabrizio Parisi è il fondatore di Superbello. Perito meccanico di formazione, ha costruito la sua carriera nella comunicazione e nel videomaking, fino a diventare imprenditore quasi per necessità. Nel 2012 fonda Kaizen con un socio. Cinque anni dopo, a seguito di divergenze sulla visione e sullo sviluppo dell'azienda, decide di chiudere la società in appena tre mesi. Nel 2017 riparte da solo con Superstudio, che oggi conta 15 persone e ha lavorato a progetti come Milano Cortina e Livigno. In questa puntata parliamo di cosa significa costruire un team che funziona senza cercare “fuoriclasse”, di selezione e cultura aziendale, di come trasformare la velocità in un vero posizionamento competitivo e di cosa deve contenere un brief per permettere a un team creativo di lavorare bene. Fabrizio racconta anche come il diabete di tipo 1 e la preparazione alle maratone di New York e Berlino abbiano influenzato il suo approccio alla disciplina, all'organizzazione e alla gestione dell'azienda. Infine entriamo nel modo in cui Superstudio utilizza concretamente l'intelligenza artificiale nella produzione: storyboard, proposte creative, voice over, post-produzione e location scouting. Un utilizzo ormai così integrato nei processi che, senza AI, Fabrizio stima che avrebbe bisogno di quasi il doppio delle persone. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hi, it's Neil Cowmeadow here with episode 440 of The Tutor Podcast, the Monday morning shot of uncommon sense for anyone who wants start, grow and love their own tutoring, teaching and coaching business – the same way I love mine.  I'm here to share ideas that have helped me in my business journey as a teacher, entrepreneur, investor and mentor in  a no-nonsense, No BS kind of way... in the hope that it helps you have as much fun at work and in life as I do. And – of course - I'm listening: so if you have any ideas that you think might be worth exploring on the show – get in touch info@neilcowmeadow.com or on X where I am @TutorPodcast, and maybe you can help me to learn something new, something better? Because I'm smart enough to realise that I don't have all the answers – nobody does - and if I rely on my own tiny, pea-sized brain to solve all of my problems…. Well..... If you're good with that, let's crack on...  Now as many of you know, I'm massively influenced by Japan and Japanese culture. This is a post that's quite personal to me because it resonates deeply with something I've been living in for a long time. It's the idea of teaching or any kind of job really being a craft. I connect that with the Japanese idea of Shokunin, which is a Japanese word that means artisan or craftsman. It's actually any person who is in work or a professional. Superficially that's fine as good as it goes but there is a kind of reverence attached to this. True Shokunin are revered within Japanese society. Maybe it's the depth of what they do, the spirituality and the commitment to mastery of the craft, which means every day trying to do the craft a little bit better. Now I also connect this with the daily exercise, the daily practice of constant never-ending improvement, which is epitomized to me by the Japanese word Kaizen. Kaizen has been responsible for many of the incremental improvements that have made companies like Toyota such a powerhouse in the world. Every day they strive to do what they do a little bit better every single day and everyone involved in the production of, say, a Toyota car has the power to stop production to make an improvement. Everybody gets listened to because they're the people with their hands on the tools who are bolting things together, putting trims into place, who could maybe tweak a process and save a few seconds here, a few seconds there. Make something a little bit better, a bit neater, to constantly improve the production process. That's Kaizen. It's the way of constant improvement. Now tied into Kaizen is this idea embodied within Shakunin of having a social duty to do your very best and to become the very best at the thing you're supposed to do, to take pride in the work that you do, pride in your products, whether you're a manual laborer or a master craftsman. Shakunin is the same path. It's lifelong dedication to the craft itself. For me that's just like teaching. I'm dedicated to it. I love it. I love the act of teaching. When someone gets it, it lights me up. When they realize that they were never the problem after all and maybe after 50 years of wrestling with a guitar, they finally get the thing that makes them go, "Oh gosh, it wasn't me all these years. It wasn't me. I'm not the problem." Give them the gift of being able to see themselves better. That's why I'm still teaching. That's why I show up for it every day I can because I'm dedicated to the craft of being a remarkable teacher. This is how it rolls in martial arts, business, and life. The core of the activity is the same but we're always working to just nuance it that little tiny bit. Do it that little bit better. Use Kaizen in the process to develop it to be a little bit better today than it was yesterday and tomorrow to do that improvement. We'll cycle all over again. In my opinion as your nuance within your craft, within your profession, develops, then your own understanding of the craft, the depth of it, and the way you interpret and implement the craft itself will also change. This explains for me completely the daily practice of a skill you already are extremely good at, something that comes so naturally to you, you embody it. Your body is thinking rather than your brain. You just want to do it that teeny tiny little bit better, an imperceptible improvement stacked on another imperceptible improvement. Suddenly it starts to make a difference because they compound up over time. This is the cycle of daily practice, followed by reflection on how it went today, adding a new nuance or a slight tweak to it, implementing and testing that, and then repeating that modified behavior over and over again until it becomes the new norm. For myself the moral aspect of it is simple: it's the work ethic. Don't do anything half-assed. If you're committed to the profession you're in, the business you're in, the job you're in, the work you're in, don't go off half-cocked. Give it your everything. Get balls deep in what you do and stay balls deep in it for life. Keep on refining the craft and in turn that will refine you, the practitioner. If the practitioner gets better maybe the family gets better. If the family gets better maybe the village gets better and so on up to the level of the universe getting better. Maybe not for everyone but for you because you did it better. Take pride in what you do, execute it as well as you can, and try tirelessly to do it that little bit better. Just summing that up I guess my take on it is: get to the point where what you do is absolutely exquisite, where it's grateful, elegant, perhaps even classy. The effort of performing your professional role appears effortless because it is effortless. It's not something you actually notice doing anymore. It's simply an embodied process. It's part of you in the same way that your leg is. It just is. It's like performing a martial arts movement set, a kata or, say, the Sunim Tao from Wing Chun Kung-Fu. Initially these movements are incredibly clunky but you try to do it a little bit better every time. After a while these movement patterns, the kata, are felt more than done. They're thought and enacted by the body itself and to do them any other way than the right way feels uncomfortable, feels morally out of character. It's a jarring incongruity or maybe a fracture of the smooth running of the skill of the master craftsman or the master martial artist. I believe that bliss is in the craft. You can lose yourself in it. It becomes intrinsically rewarding. You don't need anyone else's approval to do this. Doing it is reward enough. That in turn can become addictive, compelling, and alluring. If this resonates with you, you are not alone.  There's probably a proverb somewhere that says “the craftsman who dies with a chisel in his hand dies happy though wishing for another day to use the chisel with more skill”. That's the path of the master craftsman, the path of the master teacher, the master business person, the master writer. I believe it doesn't matter what job you are in, whether you are sweeping the streets or running a business empire. The idea of Shakunin is a consistent principle you can apply. If you recognize this in yourself, get in touch. I'd love to hear from you. What do you think? I'd love to hear from you, so get in touch! Drop me an email to info@neilcowmeadow.com and  if you have any comments, questions or problems,  get in touch  - again it's info@neilcowmeadow.com    or on X where I am @The Tutor Podcast Let's leave it there for today – I hope this show has got you thinking and has been some help to you and that you'll join me next time on The Tutor Podcast for more No-BS tips and ideas of how to Start, Grow and Love YOUR Tutoring Business – just like I love mine. Till then, remember that your time is precious, your life is largely what you make it, so always make it good. Be excellent to yourselves - stay healthy, stay useful, and Have a Fabulous Day!

Profit or cash. Efficiency or flexibility. Speed, or doing it right.Leaders feel like they have to make trade-offs like these all the time. But the choice often isn't real.Some contradictions are unavoidable. Others only look that way until you understand the real problem. The most effective organizations realize they don't have to pick a side if they can resolve the underlying tension.Olivier Larue has spent three decades helping companies do this, which he's documented in his three-book series The Toyota Economic System: a philosophy about people and society, the technical design that turns it into results, and the management practices that keep it alive through continuous learning.The real breakthrough is never the tools, optimizing one part of the system, or making unnecessary tradeoffs. It's how every part connects, and understanding the real problem to solve, so people remain the focus and results last.You'll Learn:How to tell a contradiction that's real from one that only looks real, so you stop choosing between things you can't afford to loseWhy an economic lens, not an operational one, changes where you look for the answerWhy the number and order of Toyota's seven wastes aren't arbitrary, and why the first one drives how you understand the restWhy declaring people "empowered" means nothing without the conditions that let them act on itHow respect for people extends to avoiding layoffs even in downturns, and why that matters in a world of AI and supply chain disruptionsABOUT MY GUEST:Olivier Larue was trained by Toyota Motor Corporation and has spent thirty years helping Fortune 500 companies design and implement industrial manufacturing solutions, including more than a decade as a consultant with TSSC, the Toyota Production System Support Center, and hands-on work in the biopharmaceutical industry.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:In this episode of the Lean Solutions Podcast, Shayne Daughenbaugh and Andy Olrich welcome James Martin to explore why batching often feels more efficient, but can actually hurt the flow of an entire organization. James shares real-world examples of reducing batch sizes and moving toward flow, including a transformation that reduced processing time from 14 hours to as little as 1.5 hours while significantly increasing output.The conversation explores how batching creates waiting, excess inventory, bottlenecks, and localized efficiency, and why teams need to focus on the flow of the entire system rather than individual productivity. James also explains how smaller batch sizes, experimentation, visual management, and employee empowerment can help organizations identify problems more quickly and foster a culture of continuous improvement.Whether you're trying to reduce waste, improve manufacturing flow, or build a stronger continuous improvement culture, this episode offers practical examples of how reducing batching can help work move faster and more effectively through an organization.Key Takeaways:Focus on flow—not localized efficiencySmaller batches can expose and eliminate wasteMake bottlenecks and problems visibleEmpower teams to experiment and improveLinks:https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-martin-4a4629254/https://srasolutions.com.au/https://www.findleansolutions.com/lean-summit/https://www.findleansolutions.com/

Every one of the 7 traits we've been calling "dangerous" has a fake. And the fake looks identical from the outside.Same silence. Same calm. Same walking alone. But one is chosen — you could do the opposite, you're choosing not to — and the other is compulsive: you can't. This is the episode that teaches you to tell them apart, in the people around you and, honestly, in yourself.We run all seven signs through their counterfeit:• "Thinking before you react" vs. freezing and calling it wisdom• "Un-triggerable" vs. suppression with a long fuse• "Walking alone" vs. loneliness rebranded as independence• "Observing more than you speak" vs. spectating your own lifeThe tell, every time: can you do the opposite — and you're choosing not to? Or can you not do it at all anymore?The twist at the end: the cure for the counterfeits isn't more discipline. That's what produced them. It's the opposite — come home.This is Part 3 of the trilogy. Part 1 defines the 7 signs; Part 2 lives them through Odysseus. Which counterfeit hit closest for you?

Welcome back to another heavy-hitting episode as Zach Meiborg of Meiborg Companies joins us to strip away the industry fluff and tackle the massive regulatory hurdles strangling our owner-operators and fleet operators! We dive straight into the rampant electronic logging device (ELD) fraud that is currently disrupting the trucking industry, detailing exactly how bad actors are gaming the system while the government turns a blind eye. Zach brings a straightforward perspective on why our archaic, 90-year-old Hours of Service (HOS) rules are the actual root cause of this mess and proposes a fiercely practical 14-on, 10-off schedule to instantly level the playing field and boost safe productivity. If you want to cut through the bureaucratic red tape and hear the unfiltered reality of the freight business and what it takes to survive and run a profitable business in today's cutthroat market, you can't afford to miss this conversation!   About Zach Meiborg Zach Meiborg is the Chief Executive Officer and Owner of Meiborg Companies, a Rockford, Illinois–based provider of asset-based trucking, warehousing, 3PL, oilfield, and fuel services. He started his career as a driver in 2004, and that ground-level experience continues to shape how he runs the business and approaches the industry's biggest operational challenges. A student of economics, public policy, and Kaizen-driven continuous improvement, Zach works closely with customers, vendors, policymakers, and regulators to advance the logistics sector. He lives in Roscoe, Illinois, with his three children: Luke, Becca, and Wes.   Connect with Zach Website: https://meiborg.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zach-meiborg-32a57232/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/meiborgbrothersinc/  

In 1985, a 13-year-old boy watched his father sell the family house, move them into a caravan, and start training to cycle around the world — at a time when South Africa was closed off from most of the planet. The trip never happened. But something about that audacity never left him.That boy is Rashid Toefy.By the time he sat down with Angela for this episode of Change Wired, he'd already lived what feels like several lifetimes: gap years in London and Washington, DC (where he watched Nelson Mandela walk free and his own country begin to transform), a career built almost by accident in the youth travel industry, a "six-month" move to Amsterdam with his new wife that turned into three years traveling to a different country every month across 30+ countries, seven years as CEO of the Cape Town International Convention Centre starting at just 37, a bruising stretch as an entrepreneur opening the African division of a Geneva-based global company, a pivot into government where his job today is creating jobs across an entire regional economy — and, at 50 years old, a PhD completed in three years on how leaders make decisions inside a crisis.Rashid and Angela cover all of it — the exhilarating parts and the hard ones.Rashid opens up about growing up under apartheid, having to split from friends onto separate train carriages because of the color of their skin, and meeting Nelson Mandela as a student leader. He talks about 9/11 hitting while he had a hundred South African students on exchange visas stranded in the US. And he's disarmingly honest that he sees a therapist and works through personal challenges "day by day" — because, as he puts it, trauma either shrinks you or grows you, and which one happens is partly a choice you make.What you'll learn in this episode:Why Rashid believes you can't plan a career from day one — you can only make sense of opportunities as they come, and trust your gut once the fundamentals are in placeWhat "sense-making" means, and how it differs from both blind risk-taking and overthinking every decisionThe one question his first-ever coach, Karina Anderson, taught him to ask after any setback — and how it reframes adversity into fuelHow 3 philosophies from 3 different cultures — Japan's Kaizen (continuous improvement), China's guanxi (relationships before business), and South Africa's own Ubuntu ("I am because we are") — combine in his approach to leadershipWhy Rashid believes refusing to settle for mediocrity isn't about ego — it's about what we owe to the world we're passing on... and so much more!Wow, in such a short episode it feels like we've covered a whole era!Connect with Rashid:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rashid-toefy-phd-5b09689/ — he's genuinely open to people reaching out about his leadership philosophy, his journey, or his PhD thesis on crisis leadership.About Rashid Toefy:Rashid Toefy is the Deputy Director-General in the Department of Economic Development and Tourism, with the mandate of creating jobs in the Western Cape economy. Rashid has served as the Chief Executive Officer of the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) and has worked extensively in the travel and tourism industry, both in South Africa and abroad. He spent three years based in Amsterdam, developing business and marketing strategies for businesses in over 30 countries, working extensively in Central Europe and Latin America. He has a degree in Economics and Environmental Science, as well as an MBA, and has recently completed his PhD, focusing on "How leaders make strategic decisions in crisis conditions." Rashid hates settling for mediocrity and wants to do profound things that impact positively on all those around him.Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina  Certified Health, Sleep, Performance & Executive Coach 360 with 18 years of experience helping people change to feel, be and do their best.

  Hola, hola!    Soy Mabel Burgos y esta es la Konquista, hoy quiero recordarte la razón por la que creé este podcast. Lo llamé en sus inicios Superando la Diabetes, para conversar sobre las estrategias que me ayudaban a manejar el diagnóstico. Y luego, de producir 60 episodios, y de haber crecido junto a mis oyentes; decidí optimizar la conversación con temas, ya no enfocados al diagnóstico. Habiendo incursionado en una rama adicional de administración de empresas y contabilidad que estudié, sentí que era el momento de hablarles sobre finanzas personales, desde una perspectiva muy real, la mía.     Por eso ahora este podcast es, La Konquista. Lo escribí con K de Kaizen que significa: Mejora Continua… y es eso, lo quiero para Ti, que  eleves tu desarrollo personal, que impactes tu futuro  aplicando hoy mejores hábitos de finanzas personales y por supuesto quiero seguir acompañándote, para ir proactivamente trabajando un plan financiero para lograr tus metas en ruta a una jubilación tranquila. Si no lo has hecho aún, suscríbete al podcast en la plataforma donde me escuchas, y no te pierdas ni un solo episodio de esta conversación.    Ahorrar no se ve como antes… Ese es el tema de hoy.   Muchas personas creen que ahorrar  significa guardar grandes cantidades de dinero, y déjame decirte que no es así. Ahorrar se trata más de ser consistente que de depositar grandes cantidades. Más aún  hoy día que encontramos a muchas familias enfrentando mayores costos en el precio de las viviendas, en el costo de las utilidades, y en los alimentos; así que ahorrar no se va a ver como antes definitivamente.   Te quiero presentar lo que se denomina ahorro moderno en estos tiempos. Ya no será un christmas club, ya no será en una gaveta en tu casa, ya no será lo que te sobre a fin de mes, la forma en que vas ahorrar.   Y, porque es importante esto para Ti Vivimos en una isla que dependen en gran medida de los Estados Unidos, aquí se importan la gran mayoría de los alimentos, de los bienes de consumo general del extranjeto, y eso significa a su vez que cualquier alza en combustible, o algún tipo de energia y los conflictos geopolíticos, se van a transferir inmediatamente al mercado local a través de los productores y transportistas.   Así, que ante lo que no puedes controlar, tienes que tomar cartas en el asunto que está en tus manos.   El ahorro moderno no parte de una táctica tradicional de pagar todo y ver lo que te sobra a fin de mes, para ahorrar, como dije. Parte de una disciplina ayudada en gran medida por los sistemas. Y se utiliza haciendo el presupuesto antes que nada y saber que cantidad vas ahorrar tan pronto como recibas tus ingresos; colocando ese porcentaje para ahorrar primero en tu lista. Luego vas a programar transferencias automáticas a cuentas separadas. Yo te sugiero una para jubilación, y una para metas y sueños.   En el ahorro moderno también tienes que cuidar de no estar pagando membresías, aplicaciones o plataformas que no usas activamente.   Y planificar tus comidas, sustituyendo salidas a comer fuera por cocinar en la casa, también se ha convertido en parte esencial, porque ahí se te va de un 6 a un 8 % del presupuesto mensual total.   Estas tres cosas que te he mencionado son de las que los expertos hoy día, recomiendan más tener el control sobre ellas. Repito: Tener un presupuesto, (que no es una recomendación nueva), automatizar el ahorro (que ya es tiempo que te enlistes a ello) y controlar las comidas fuera de casa (por que se ha convertido en un gasto sustancial hoy día, para las familias). Hay muchas más cosas, las hemos mencionado en varios episodios, pero para ponerlo sencillo comienza con estas tres que te repaso hoy.   Cuéntame!  ¿Ya has gestionado tu presupuesto mensual? Me refiero a ir sobre una libreta o en la computadora, a registrarlo todo;  luego, ¿has visto la diferencia, de cuando ves con claridad a dónde va tu dinero, vs cuando no lo veías? Te invito a que me cuentes a través de mis plataformas sociales, siempre están allí en las notas del episodio, para que me digas en que etapa estas tú con el ahorro y cómo lo trabajaste.   Te recuerdo que este mensaje se transmite por apple podcast, spotify, youtube y otras plataformas. Si aún no has dado tu valoración de 5 estrellas a este podcast, puedes hacerlo en la plataforma donde me escuchas. Será un regalo para difundir a otros este mensaje. ¡Compártelo!   Quiero cerrar este episodio mencionando algo, escucho podcast y creo este podcast y la razón por la cual he compartido muchas cosas personales a través de los episodios, es porque quiero la conexión con la gente. Una persona distante que te de algún consejo, así se siente distante.    Me pasa, cuando recibo servicios o atención en algún establecimiento, y por lo tanto quiero que te sientas cercano. Cercano ante las situaciones de poco dinero o de mucho dinero y no saber cómo manejarlo de forma efectiva. También porque hemos luchado las mismas batallas. Y porque de la mano de alguien que da confianza puedes sentarte a hablar.    Y antes de irme quiero agradecer a Ti mi oyente, y a ti mi cliente de PR por estar dispuesto a poner tus números sobre la mesa. Al fin y al cabo, no estoy tras tu información, lo que me mueve son los cambios, ajustes y nuevos hábitos que te ayudo a implementar y me regocijo cuando te veo logrando.   Abajo en las notas del episodio, ya sabes, te dejo mis enlaces. Hasta la próxima.    www.instagram.com/eligetranquilidad www.instagram.com/hola.vidaenpositivo

W internecie jest dziś więcej materiałów o planie daltońskim niż kiedykolwiek — a ChatGPT chętnie odpowie na każde pytanie. Problem w tym, że czasem odpowiada bzdurami. Także o samych autorach.W tym odcinku EduKOSMOS Anna i Robert Sowińscy rozmawiają o tym, dlaczego dostęp do wiedzy przestał być dziś problemem — a stał się nim jej nadmiar. Usłyszycie m.in.: dlaczego „elementy" planu daltońskiego (zegar, sygnalizator, tablica) bez zmiany myślenia o samodzielności ucznia to za mało, co historia planu daltońskiego w sowieckiej Rosji mówi o wdrożeniach bez przygotowania, dlaczego metoda Kaizen wygrywa z edukacyjną rewolucją, i jak w praktyce uczyć dziecko rozbijania dużych zadań na mniejsze — na przykładzie wspinaczki na Mount Everest.Na koniec: konkretne kryteria, po których rozpoznacie dobry kurs — niezależnie od tematu, którego dotyczy.[Autopromocja]Linki:Konferencja „Zmiana zaczyna się od nauczyciela” — 24.10.2026, Łódź: https://fundacjaplandaltonski.pl/konferencja2026/Fundacja PlanDaltoński.PL:https://fundacjaplandaltonski.pl/

Odysseus is the patron saint of the warrior mindset,  and its greatest cautionary tale. We run all 7 signs of a "dangerous person" through Homer's Odyssey and Christopher Nolan's film, and find the man who scored a perfect 7… and lost a decade to it.Full show notes:He's the most dangerous man in the history of storytelling,  cunning, unshakable, endures anything. The Greeks had a word for his gift: mêtis, the ability to think your way out of anything. Odysseus wrote the book on every one of the 7 warrior traits we defined in Part 1.And every one of them nearly destroyed him.In Part 2, we run the 7 signs through the Odyssey,  Homer's myth as the backbone, Christopher Nolan's 2026 film as fresh fuel,  and for almost every trait, Odysseus shows us both the mastery AND the failure in the same scene. He's the demonstration and the warning.- The Cyclops,  where silence saved him, and one ego-brag cost him ten years- The Trojan Horse as "original sin",  the Nolan reading that reframes his cleverest move as his worst- "Tie yourself to the mast",  the greatest self-control move in literature- "Endure, my heart",  and the massacre that proves suppression isn't peace- The lone wolf who lost his whole pack,  and refused immortality to get home- The one immovable thing: the olive-tree bed, and what it says about all of itThe through-line: are the 7 traits the destination, or just the vehicle? Because Odysseus's real goal was never glory (kleos),  it was homecoming (nostos). And the traits that make him dangerous are the exact things that keep detouring him from the only thing he wants.The question we leave you with: Odysseus had all 7 traits and still spent 20 years lost. Which matters more,  being dangerous, or knowing when to come home?A note on sourcing: the Homer material is the poem as it's come down to us. The "monster within" framing,  the Trojan Horse as original sin, the grounded gods, the bittersweet homecoming,  is Nolan's interpretation, drawn from the film and its reviews.Send us Fan MailLearn with us at warriorfitnessma.com More at warriormindset.usNever give up.

Your leadership style isn't the problem. Your default is.The gap between how you're leading and what the person in front of you actually needs is one of the most common and most invisible places leaders get stuck. Most of us default to one mode and don't notice the mismatch until something breaks down.Suzie Bishop has spent over a decade at the Center for Leadership Studies helping leaders close that gap and strengthen their leadership effectiveness. Her new book, Situational Leadership, puts nearly sixty years of research into a practical framework for reading the situation, building leadership flexibility, and adapting your approach.Suzie walks through the four leadership styles, how to read what someone needs in a given situation, and how to adapt your approach to coach, develop leaders, and lead through influence.The best leaders don't pick one style and commit. They pause, assess the situation, and flex to have the impact you intend.You'll Learn:Why "leadership is influence" reframes how you lead, and why influence has nothing to do with manipulation or controlHow to diagnose what someone needs, and why one person can require four different approaches in the same conversationHow leadership flexibility and adaptability differ—and why knowing the styles isn't the same as knowing when to use themWhy only asking coaching questions can leave people stuck, and how to know when to step in with more directive leadershipHow the "power of the pause" helps you move from reacting out of habit to adapting with intentionABOUT MY GUEST:Suzie Bishop is VP of Product Development at The Center for Leadership Studies.

In this episode of Hoots on the Ground with No Bullshido, Adam Hoots welcomes internationally recognized Lean leadership expert, author, speaker, and Japan learning guide Katie Anderson for one of the most human-centered conversations the podcast has featured. Katie, author of Learning to Lead, Leading to Learn, shares lessons learned through her friendship with former Toyota leader Isao Yoshino and years spent living in Japan. Rather than focusing solely on Lean tools, the discussion explores the deeper purpose of Lean: developing people. The conversation dives into why organizations become overly focused on technical excellence while overlooking the social systems that enable people to thrive. Adam shares reflections from his own trip to Japan and how it reshaped his thinking around respect for people, visual management, discipline, and leadership. Topics include: ·         Why people must come before processes and tools. ·         Breaking the "telling habit" to develop others. ·         Leadership as a practice instead of a title. ·         Lean as a sociotechnical system. ·         Japanese concepts including Omotenashi, Shikō, Kaizen, and the Daruma Doll. ·         Turning learning into action instead of simply consuming more information. Whether you're in construction, healthcare, manufacturing, or any leadership role, this episode reminds us that organizations improve only when people intentionally help other people grow. KEY TAKEAWAYS: ·         People Before Process — Sustainable improvement begins by developing people before optimizing tools. ·         Break the Telling Habit — Great leaders ask questions instead of always supplying answers. ·         Leadership Is a Verb — Leadership is demonstrated through daily behaviors, not job titles. ·         Lean Is Sociotechnical — Great results require both strong systems and strong human relationships. ·         Intention Drives Action — Align daily behaviors with purpose and values. ·         Small Improvements Compound — Better happens through continuous, incremental improvement. ·         Learning Requires Action — Knowledge only becomes valuable when applied. ·         Respect Is Demonstrated — Small acts of service and genuine care build trust. EPISODE QUOTES (paraphrased): ·         "The only real secret to Toyota is its attitude toward learning." ·         "Leadership isn't about having all the answers—it's about creating the conditions where others can discover them." ·         "People come before process." ·         "Break the telling habit." ·         "The goal isn't the tool. The goal is helping people learn." ·         "Intention is where heart meets direction." ·         "Kaizen starts with improving yourself." ·         "Don't just collect knowledge. Harvest it by putting it into practice."

But you don't get it by saying you want it. People-centered leadership is about creating conditions for people to speak up and highlight issues by how you, and leaders across your system, respond.Recorded live with a group of global leaders participating in my Japan Leadership Experience in May 2026, this special episode celebrates the sixth anniversary of Learning to Lead, Leading to Learn. You'll hear Isao Yoshino, a 40-year Toyota leader and the subject of my book, reflect on three of the book's most talked-about stories.These examples bring two of Toyota's mottos to life, "bad news first" and "no problem is a problem," and show why a leader's response is what turns problems into a culture of improvement:How his manager's response to a huge paint-shop mistake in his first months at Toyota shaped how he saw a leader's roleHow andon — signaling a problem and stopping the line — changed the culture at NUMMIHow he found the courage to highlight his failing water ski boat business to President Fujio ChoWhether on the front line or in the boardroom, creating the conditions where bad news comes first, and support follows, is what builds a culture of excellence.You'll Learn:Why a leader's response to a mistake is fundamental to effective leadership and matters more than the mistake itselfThe two actions behind a bad-news-first culture: respond down to help, not blame, and signal up when something's off courseWhy andon is a leadership practice, not just a factory signal, that works from the shop floor to the executive suiteWhat the NUMMI turnaround shows about culture change: people adopt a better way when they discover it, not when they're toldWhy "thank you for this mistake" is the keystone move for building psychological safetyABOUT MY GUEST:Isao Yoshino spent forty years at Toyota, from the late 1960s to the early 2000s, where he helped shape the people-centered learning culture the company is known for today. He was a key leader in the Kan-Pro senior-management development program and led the training of the American managers at NUMMI, the Toyota-GM joint venture, where he hired John Shook.

Twenty years ago, on July 16, 2006, the Lean Blog Podcast began with a conversation with Norman Bodek. Episode page Norman was Mark Graban's friend and mentor—and the person who suggested starting the podcast. To mark the show's 20th anniversary, Mark revisits highlights from that first episode. Norman explains the difference between kaizen and kaizen events, why employees should be trusted to implement small improvements, and how one idea at Gulfstream produced thousands of hours in savings when it was copied across the plant. He also reflects candidly on his own leadership mistakes, including his tendency as a company owner to tell employees what to do rather than ask for their ideas. Other topics include: • Quick and Easy Kaizen • Kaizen versus kaikaku • Employee suggestion systems • Respect for people • Trust and employee autonomy • Asking instead of telling • The risks of poorly designed incentives • How supervisors can encourage—or shut down—employee participation • Why organizations overlook the knowledge of their own employees Norman passed away in 2020, but his influence continues through the people he taught, the books he wrote and published, and the ideas he helped introduce to a much wider audience. Listen to the complete original episode at leanblog.org/1.

Every business owner eventually faces this leadership challenge: Is this employee trying to make my company better... or are they simply tearing it down? In this episode, Spencer breaks down the critical difference between employees who bring valuable ideas and employees who constantly challenge every decision without offering solutions. You'll learn how to: Create a culture where great ideas thrive. Know when employee feedback deserves action. Explain the "why" behind company policies. Recognize when healthy disagreement becomes toxic negativity. Protect your company culture before one negative employee drives away your best people. Featuring leadership lessons from Toyota's Kaizen philosophy, Jim Collins, Peter Drucker, Andy Grove, and practical experience from running a growing service business, this episode will help you become a stronger leader and build a healthier team. If you're a business owner, manager, or entrepreneur, this is an episode you won't want to miss.   If you are feeling the love, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review on iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you are!!
