We've all been guilty of taking energy for granted at some point, from mindlessly flicking on light switches to filling up our cars on the way to work. We may grumble about the costs, but when was the last time you really thought about where it all comes from?The availability of energy is something that affects us all, and leaders in the industry are calling for a re-envisioned future. In this episode, we sit down with Michelle Jordan from TECHMAR, Gakuo Ndonga of WD Bearings, and Meaghan Ziemba, host of Mavens of Manufacturing. Recorded live at the Empowering Pumps & Industry Conference, we dive into what it truly means to re-envision energy for the future. Key themes from our conversation include challenging traditional ways of thinking, spreading awareness, and the importance of collaboration. The secret to innovation in energy isn't just about new tech (although that's important), it's also about bringing fresh voices into the conversation. But as we see across manufacturing, it's not always easy to sell younger generations on a future career in energy. So we look at what industry leaders can do to communicate and spark excitement to keep energy ticking. In this episode, find out:What does it mean to re-envision energy?

Encourage manufactures to be proactive and open up their doors and let their community members come in… to see what they are making and why they are making it.”“Why are stories important to this industry?  Because you need that emotional connection with your audience. If you don't have it, they are not going to care. They are not going to know what they don't know.”

In this episode we discuss how marketing can play a critical role in recruitment initiatives and community engagement.Batesville Products Inc., an aluminum casting manufacturer, was facing a problem that plagues many modern manufacturers - they couldn't find or retain talent to fill their vacant production roles.

In this week's episode, Mary shares the steps Batesville took to understand the root of their talent problem and the initiatives they launched to address those findings.This episode is full of out-of-the-box initiatives that were very successful for Batesville Products Inc. From rewriting job descriptions, engaging in community events and local schools, and developing a children's book. Mary explains how they leveraged their company culture and unique selling points to attract the right candidates.

On the 18th episode of Industrial Transformation with Jeremy Frank, Jeremy speaks with Meaghan Ziemba, creator of the live video broadcast series, "Mavens of Manufacturing".  Meaghan is a thought leader in attracting women and the younger generation into the manufacturing sector.  She combines women's empowerment with brand storytelling within the amazing world of manufacturing. During their conversation, they discuss how to fix the growing skills gap by prioritizing trade skills as much as other academic options, diversifying the workforce, and bringing back a sense of pride to the industry. 

The future of manufacturing isn't primarily in ideas – it's in the next generation. It's in the people and perspectives that craft those ideas. Our guest today is someone who has helped blaze a trial into manufacturing, especially for talented young women. Her name is Meaghan Ziemba. Meaghan is the founder of Z-ink Solutions and Mavens of Manufacturing. Mavens of Manufacturing is a group that focusses on encouraging young women to get into modern manufacturing and to call out that manufacturing is a promising career path for them to pursue. In this episode, we will hear from Meaghan about what she does to help give a voice to manufacturers through content in the modern world of marketing.

Meaghan Ziemba is a trailblazer in the manufacturing industry to say the least. She spent the first half of her career working on various marketing projects in the manufacturing industry, and has focused the second half of her career on reaching an audience that may have not otherwise been exposed to an industry that is in desperate need of bright young minds. Meaghan has her own copywriting company named Z-Ink Solutions and she also hosts a podcast called Mavens of Manufacturing. She primarily aspires to embolden the next generation of women to explore careers in a predominately male occupied space. Tune in to this episode of Real Talk with Rob Tavi Ft. Meaghan Ziemba as we dive into the world of copywriting in the manufacturing industry, digital marketing trends, generational gaps, and inspiring a generation of young women to pursue careers in engineering and manufacturing!

Meet Meaghan:Meaghan is the host of the Mavens of Manufacturing Podcast which celebrates women in manufacturing from the shop floor to the C-suite. She interviews some amazing guests on her show and has been an advocate for women in manufacturing, and has been working to attract people of all ages to the manufacturing industry. She is also the owner and founder of Z-Ink Solutions which is a copywriting and copy editing service that provides impactful text and memorable storytelling for a variety of brands and industries. Lori: Meaghan, could you just tell us a little bit about yourself?Meaghan: Yeah, so I thank you again for inviting me to your podcast. I'm really excited for the conversation. And anytime I get to share, you know, news about Mavens or Z-Ink, I get really excited about it because a lot of people know me through mavens, and not so much Z, which is actually the first thing I started before Mavens. So I'm a technical writer by trade. I have a master's and bachelors. I said that backward, but that's okay. A bachelor's and master's degree in professional and technical writing. I am a UWM, which is the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, alum. So when I left high school, I had no idea what I wanted to do. And I have that typical story where my parents pressured me into going into college. And I always tested well with writing and storytelling, my English teacher, I was the favorite almost always, in all of my English classes. My sister got the math gene, I got the word gene. So it's kind of funny to have us in a room together because she'll spout out numbers and I have no idea what she's talking about. But, um, when I got into college, I was spiraling kind of out of control. And then I ended up getting pregnant with my daughter and decided to move back to Wisconsin I found out about professional and technical writing and my teacher gave us a great assignment on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. And there were like 12 to 15 students within that class and he went through each of our instructions and had 12 to 15 different end results, which was really interesting. It opened up my eyes to how information is interpreted differently across different people and cultures and even countries. So when I graduated, I started out in the trade publication industry and learned about engineering and manufacturing that way, and it was a lot of fun. And then a lot of different people learned about their passions and why they were in the sector. And I tried to get out of it and go into higher education and do some marketing for higher education but I got really bored out of my mind. So I decided to get back into engineering and manufacturing and work for several companies within their marketing departments. But even with that opportunity, I had a lot of fun, but I really missed getting to know different people in different areas. And I loved going to trade shows because it gave me an opportunity to actually meet different people from different companies and learn their stories. And I tried to take what I learned from them, and apply it to the companies that I worked for, to get people really excited about some of their products and stuff. Because if you're engineering or manufacturing, not everything is really exciting. Some of it is really technical and boring. So you got to find that, that hard string that you can pull for people. So I talked to my husband, and I was like, Hey, do you care if I start my own freelance company, because I feel like that's gonna actually feed into everything that I love doing. I can work with different people at this time, are Simon, my 18-year-old daughter, and then we have two toddlers. And I was like, this way I can pick my hours and I can be home more for them, and not have to leave, I can keep my office at home and be able to do that work-life balance that I've craved so much. He's like, Yeah, go
