An early essay by Karl Marx writing at the beginning of the industrial revolution argued that humans who were formerly craftspeople were now just cogs in the industrial machine alienated from the products they made and their work.   Today's podcast is sponsored by Inductive Automation, makers of Ignition — the world's most versatile industrial automation platform for connecting data, systems, and people.

When you hire someone, you are getting more than a pair of hands—you are getting a brain and experience, as well. You should make use of them.   Articles about a worker shortage due to Boomer retirements have been a staple of trade magazine editorial ever since I became an editor in 1998. Some twenty-seven years later, those articles and news releases keep coming.   I learned about a new product from Derek Crager, Founder & CEO of Practical AI for onboarding and mentoring new employees. There is irony here, in that Crager touts himself as developer of an award-winning training program at Amazon—yes, the place that thinks it can replace its workers with robots. But, we will go beyond that thought for now.   His solution? Just-in-time guidance—the right step at the exact moment of need, while hands are on the task. When a technician can ask and do in the same breath, training becomes throughput. That's the difference between teaching a concept and multiplying your best expert across every line and shift.   He called on his experience at Amazon to develop something called Pocket Mentor: A Phone Call to Your Best Expert. This is a hands-free, eyes-free mentor your team reaches by phone, anytime, on the floor or in the field. No app. No Wi-Fi. No passwords. Just tap & say, “Talk me through it” — and we will.   Check out TheManufacturingConnection.com for more thoughts.

In today's episode, I am shedding light on the fact that our parents are people who are trying to maintain their own lives and be the best parents possible, all at the same time. Also, understanding that our parents were once children who may have endured things that we have no idea about.

They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Dmitriy Peregudov, the hardest thing in growing a small business is having the patience and perseverance to push through the early, slow stages while learning things outside your comfort zone. He explains that growth often requires focusing on areas you don't enjoy, making tough decisions, and knowing when to let go and replace yourself in certain roles. Understanding every part of the business—even the ones you're not good at—is essential, because only then can you hire the right people and build a strong foundation for long-term success. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Dmitriy Peregudov's favorite business books include Further, Faster by Bill Flynn, which provides clear frameworks for business growth, and Delivering Happiness by Tony Hsieh, which inspired him to build a people-first company culture. He also recommends The Five Types of Wealth by Sahil Bloom for understanding balance in life and business. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Dmitriy recommends the Harvard Business Review (HBR) Podcast for case studies and expert discussions, and Lex Fridman's Podcast for deep, thought-provoking conversations that go beyond business into leadership and innovation. He also appreciates podcasts like Built to Sell Radio for real-world entrepreneurship lessons. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? He highly recommends HubSpot, calling it a game-changer for small businesses. From marketing automation to CRM and workflow management, it helped his team streamline communication, improve sales processes, and enhance customer relationships. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? According to Dmitriy Peregudov, the advice he would give himself on day one of starting out in business is simple yet powerful — “Just do it.” He believes that too many entrepreneurs hesitate, overthink, or wait for the perfect moment, but real growth happens only through action. Taking the first step, learning from mistakes, and adapting along the way are far more valuable than waiting for ideal conditions that may never come.

In This Episode Many leaders focus on growing their businesses through sales, systems, and strategy — but often overlook their most important resource: people. In this episode of the System Simplified podcast, Adi Klevit interviews Velveth Schmitz, CEO of HireBetter, to discuss how intentional talent planning and strong systems work hand-in-hand to build thriving organizations. Velveth shares how HireBetter partners with clients to align their people strategy with business goals — not just filling roles, but building cohesive, values-driven teams. She explains why onboarding should never be an afterthought and how having clear, documented processes helps new hires integrate seamlessly and stay engaged.

In this episode of Molecule to Market, you'll go inside the outsourcing space of the global drug development sector with Lars Petersen, President & Chief Executive Officer at FUJIFILM Biotechnologies.   Your host, Raman Sehgal, discusses the pharmaceutical and biotechnology supply chain with Lars, covering: The difficult decision to leave Novo Nordisk and make the jump from one great company to another in Genentech/Roche. How leaving a Biogen site led him to step away from big pharma after 25 years and transition to the CDMO side. How Fujifilm's culture of innovation, technology, quality, and people runs through the Biotechnologies division — and why empowerment and culture should never be compromised. Why the duplication of its CDMO sites globally, all running on the same kojoX platform, is truly differentiating. Why he believes the need to standardise, scale, and globalise drug production in a consistent, efficient, and traceable way is key to the future of the supply chain.

What if the biggest weakness in cybersecurity isn't a missing tool, but a cultural blind spot? That's the perspective of Dan Jones, Senior Security Advisor at Tanium, who joined me on Tech Talks Daily to share why he believes cybersecurity is fundamentally a people problem dressed up as a technology problem. Dan brings nearly three decades of experience in cyber operations, including leading cyber defence strategy for the UK Ministry of Defence. His career has shown him that technology alone doesn't secure organisations—it's the people at the front line, their leadership, and their ability to make the right decisions under pressure. He argues that while new tools flood the market every year, the make-or-break factor remains the same: how teams are led, supported, and empowered. In our conversation, Dan explains why leadership is often the overlooked part of cybersecurity, how culture shapes security outcomes, and why automation should be embraced not as a threat to jobs but as a way to give people time back for higher-value decision making. He shares examples from both military and enterprise contexts, showing how organisations succeed or fail based not on what tools they buy, but on how well they bring their people along for the journey. We also dig into one of today's hottest debates: the role of AI in cybersecurity. While many fear AI will displace jobs, Dan insists those fears are rooted in culture, not reality. He draws parallels to past industrial shifts, making the case that automation and orchestration are stepping stones that prepare teams for an AI-powered future—one where human judgment still sits firmly at the centre. This is a timely reminder for every leader and practitioner that cybersecurity is about more than firewalls and code. It's about trust, training, and people working together with the right tools at the right time. And yes, it's also about taking five minutes to brew a proper cup of tea—a lesson Dan believes says a lot about leadership and reflection. If you've ever wondered whether your organisation is focusing too much on tools and not enough on culture, this episode will make you stop and think. ********* Visit the Sponsor of Tech Talks Network: Land your first job  in tech in 6 months as a Software QA Engineering Bootcamp with Careerist https://crst.co/OGCLA

In this episode of The Mentors Radio, Host Dan Hesse talks with former U.S. Coast Guard Commandant Admiral Thad Allen about leadership during a crisis. Whether it's a business crisis, family crisis, natural disaster, supply chain nightmare, government-mandated pandemic shutdown or something else, ethical leadership can make all the difference in ultimately navigating to “safe shores.” Our guest mentor today, Thad Allen, has a lot to share about leadership and crisis leadership. During his Coast Guard career, Allen was asked by two U.S. Presidents to take over leadership of the Federal response to two monumental crises—the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the catastrophic Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. To achieve resolution in each of these disasters required bringing together a wide swath of diverse constituencies—each with their own focus, concerns, habits of communication and pain points. No easy task. Allen was so successful in his efforts that he became known in some circles as “the master of disaster.” Allen also led the Atlantic Coast Guard forces in response to the 9/11 attacks and coordinated the U.S. Coast Guard response to a major Haitian earthquake. But what was Allen's secret for bringing very diverse groups together, leading them to work together to achieve a common goal? How did he herd cats in a crisis? Among other things you'll learn that one of the first things he does—every time, in every disaster with which he was involved—is to focus first on forging a unity of purpose and a culture of compassion. Yes. People First. Every Time! That required hyper-focused listening, clarity of assessment, finding the common threads and building on those, and… did we mention listening, putting people first?!! The lessons and experiences Thad Allen shares in this episode are worth more than gold for any human on the planet—in business, work, life, anywhere, anytime… and for cats too, if they'd only listen.

When I first enrolled in a sleep consultant certification program, it gave me the information I needed, but it lacked something important: connection.No personal welcome. No opportunity to build a relationship with the course creator. And I've found the same to be true in other programs I've joined over the years.Center for Pediatric Sleep Management is different. From the very beginning, my goal has been for every student to feel seen, heard, and supported. CPSM was built on connection, and that same value guides the way I run my business every day.In this episode of the Becoming a Sleep Consultant podcast, I'm sharing why connection matters so much, not just in online education, but in any business.
