Download their 11th Annual State of Smart Manufacturing Report at https://rok.auto/sosmThe Treasury doubled its bond buybacks this week. Then the talk turned to a military option for yields.Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh spent his most anticipated speech of the year talking tough about inflation, and Peter Schiff explains why none of it matters. Warsh accepted responsibility for 65 straight months above the 2% target, then never once mentioned the $40 trillion national debt or the Treasury intervention running underneath him. Money supply is expanding at roughly 6% annualized since he took the job. He is talking about putting out the fire while pouring the gasoline.Underneath the speech, the policy escalated. Treasury buybacks already doubled from $2 billion to $4 billion, with roughly a trillion in the general fund available to extend them, shortening the average maturity of the debt and leaving the government more exposed to the rate hikes markets are now pricing. And in a Fox News interview on that same intervention, a military option for lowering bond yields was raised.Peter also covers the week's real data: gold down $140, silver reversing from nearly $71, a Chicago PMI collapse to 47.1 that was the biggest downside miss in eleven years, and a boat market where prices have fallen 50% and lenders are taking the keys, a Fed-made boom and bust he argues housing is about to repeat.Chapters:00:00 Inflation Firestorm00:37 Boatcast Setup01:02 Warsh Speech Breakdown04:12 Debt And Twist Ignored08:10 Forward Guidance Critique11:19 Dual Mandate Tradeoffs12:46 Money Supply Matters13:56 Hawkish Talk And Markets18:50 Trump Military Option20:01 Canada Tariffs Fallout27:53 Market Wrap Gold Bitcoin31:46 Strategy Dilution Spiral32:42 Dollar Yen Bonds Warning34:11 Manufacturing Digital Shift39:03 Boating Bubble Bust45:28 Boat Costs Force Selling48:13 West Marine Bankruptcy53:02 Buyer Market Repos Risk56:30 Boat Ownership Reality57:09 Closing Politics PlugFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiff#BondMarket #FederalReserveOur Sponsors:* Check out Blinds.com and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.blinds.com* Check out Chilipad and use my code GOLD for $255 off: https://sleep.me* Check out Factor and use my code gold50off for a great deal: https://www.factor75.com* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out Plaud AI and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.plaud.ai* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/GOLD for a great deal: https://www.quince.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Hours later the Treasury reported a $432 billion July deficit... the worst single month in US history.Peter breaks down why the benign 0.1% July CPI is an accounting illusion: the BLS compares monthly averages, so June's oil collapse masked July's crude rebound, and August is set up to run hot. The real inflation news came later that day from the Treasury: a record $432 billion July deficit, $1.8 trillion in just ten months, and a national debt now less than $150 billion from $40 trillion. Bigger deficits mean more pressure on the Fed to choose inflation, which is exactly why the bond market refused to rally on the "good" CPI number.Gold holds above $4,400 and silver above $65 as heavy Asian buying signals the de-dollarization trade is back on, while Bitcoin sits dead at $63,500 and misses the entire rally. Peter also covers the yen back above 159 and the Fed's swap-line backdoor QE for Japan, both parties drifting left after the latest primaries, Trump family corruption from Truth Social premium access to Barron's $150 million, and the Iran endgame: no deal, a closed Strait of Hormuz, and a president claiming victory in a war America clearly lost.Chapters:00:00 Inflation Signals Not Prices01:22 CPI Print And Market Bets04:24 CPI Math Masks Energy Surge10:37 Deficits The Real Inflation Driver19:54 Gold Surge Debt And Yen QE31:09 Radical Left Wins Primaries32:00 Both Parties Shift Left34:17 Trump Corruption Claims37:51 Bitcoin Stalls vs Gold44:13 Iran War Reality CheckFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffOur Sponsors:* Check out Blinds.com and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.blinds.com* Check out Chilipad and use my code GOLD for $255 off: https://sleep.me* Check out Factor and use my code gold50off for a great deal: https://www.factor75.com* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/GOLD for a great deal: https://www.quince.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this episode, Susan Winchester talks about how The Workplace Is Sacred Ground. Susan J. Schmitt Winchester is a former Fortune 150 and Fortune 500 Chief Human Resources Officer (Applied Materials and Rockwell Automation), an executive coach, TEDx speaker, and international bestselling author of Healing at Work, co-authored with Martha Finney and recognized as an Amazon International Best Seller in five countries. After more than 36 years leading at the highest levels of corporate America, Susan came to see the workplace not as something to escape, but as one of the most powerful and sacred places healing and awakening can happen. For most of her career, her success was fueled by a quiet belief that she was not good enough. Today, sober for more than 22 years and grounded in her faith, she teaches that the workplace itself is deeply spiritual, that the people who trigger us most are often our truest teachers, and that self-acceptance is the medicine so many high achievers are missing. Her purpose, and her soul’s work, is to teach self-acceptance to create a more joyful world.

Uber and other gig companies spent hundreds of millions of dollars to exempt themselves from state labor laws, ensuring their drivers remained classified as independent contractors without a minimum wage, healthcare, or sick leave.Blames “the system:” “I'll be the first to say that our adversarial legal system can be particularly tough for survivors. By its nature, the trial process is designed to extract facts ... And the fact that all of this occurs in public view makes it all the more difficult …” “The system" isn't asking victims what they were wearing—Uber's highly paid defense attorneys areWest is shifting the blame from his own legal department's aggressive, victim-blaming litigation strategies onto the abstract concept of the "adversarial legal system."the New York Times and unsealed court documents from the multidistrict litigation (MDL) reveal, once a survivor steps into a courtroom, Uber's high-priced defense lawyers resort to classic, traumatizing victim-blaming. Asking women what they were wearing or weaponizing their personal histories to discredit them is a deliberate strategy to minimize corporate payoutsCherry picks one favorable moment: West quotes a single federal judge from a February trial who praised Uber's attorneys, saying they did not engage in "the slightest bit of shaming" and that he wanted it "clear on the record."one favorable quote from one judge in one specific trial: "Look, this one guy said we're nice, so the New York Times must be lying."Bullshits the bigger picture: “Uber was among the first companies to end forced arbitration and mandatory confidentiality agreements in matters involving sexual assault and sexual harassment”Yes, they ended individual forced arbitration, but they fought ruthlessly to ensure survivors still cannot form class-action lawsuits. Forcing victims to fight Uber one-on-one is a massive legal advantage for the companyLies about ESG data: “Uber was also the first—and continues to be one of the only—companies to voluntarily and consistently publish data on the reports of sexual assault”They published "safety data," but as the Times revealed, they hid hundreds of thousands of complaints by categorizing them as "unaudited" or "less serious."While Uber publicly reported a few thousand incidents, internal documents showed they received over 400,000 reports of sexual assault or misconduct between 2017 and 2022.Jefferies ESG chief says investors overstate SpaceX governance risksAniket Shah, Jefferies' global head of sustainability: Investors who avoid SpaceX because of Elon Musk's extraordinary control over the company may be letting governance concerns outweigh potential long-term returns"The idea that there's an — in quotes — acceptable form of good governance" is one that "I highly question," Shah said. "People who try to put governance into some kind of straight-jacket are too simple-minded and, frankly speaking, not looking at data."“Investors who rely on governance checklists alone risk overlooking companies capable of generating substantial long-term returns, particularly founder-led businesses that concentrate decision-making power in a single executive.”IN OR OUT on SpaceX?

Ryan Gariepy, VP of robotics at Rockwell Automation and chair of the Canadian Robotics Council, says Canada should make much greater use of drones to spot wildfires early and support firefighters on the ground. He argues the technology already exists, but it's being underused and could be better integrated across governments, industry, and the military. He also addresses where artificial intelligence fits in, the barriers to adoption, and whether robotics could help reduce the growing cost of wildfires.

Rates may vary.The Federal Reserve left rates unchanged at 3.5% to 3.75%, exactly where they were before Kevin Warsh took over, despite a 30% market-priced chance of a hike and three FOMC members dissenting in favor of one. Peter Schiff breaks down a press conference where Warsh declared "no tolerance" for inflation above 2% while doing nothing about it, hiding behind the excuse that the Fed "doesn't have a magic wand." Nobody asked for magic, just for the Fed to use the tools it actually has: higher rates, a smaller balance sheet, slower money supply growth. Warsh delivered none of them, and Schiff argues he made the same choice as his predecessors. Inflation is a choice, and the Fed chose it again.The markets rendered their verdict immediately. The 30-year Treasury yield hit 5.22%, its highest in roughly 20 years, the Dow fell 2.2% or about 1,100 points to close on the lows, and the Nasdaq 100 is now down over 3% on the week as the air keeps coming out of the AI bubble, with Meta down 10% after missing earnings and SanDisk off 30% in three days. Gold told the real story: it closed up $40 at 4,070 and never broke 4,000, because rising yields driven by a loss of confidence in the Fed are bullish for gold, not bearish. Schiff calls gold the last safe haven standing. He also covers consumer confidence at a five-year low, a $101.5 billion June trade deficit proving the tariffs accomplished nothing, and why Mamdani's government-run grocery stores will empty shelves, bankrupt private grocers in the poorest neighborhoods, and recreate Soviet bread lines in New York City.Chapters:00:00 Debt Bubble Reality00:37 Fed Holds Rates Steady03:34 Two Percent Target Doubts16:05 Q&A Exposes Inaction27:38 Markets React Bonds Stocks Gold31:45 Yields and Gold Misread35:02 Gold Safe Haven Case37:40 Fed Fallout and Data43:12 NYC Government Grocers55:42 Capitalism and Wrap UpFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffOur Sponsors:* Check out Chilipad and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://sleep.me* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out Plaud AI and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://plaud.ai* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/gold for a great deal: https://www.quince.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Download their 11th Annual State of Smart Manufacturing Report at https://rok.auto/sosmInvestors are far too complacent about risks that are now hiding in plain sight. The AI trade cracked this week: Alphabet fell 10% after announcing even higher CapEx, Oracle is down 41% on the year, Meta and Amazon fell, and Microsoft is nearly in a bear market. SpaceX now trades 49% below its post-IPO high with its float set to jump from 5% to 40% by year end, and Tesla dropped 18%, costing Elon Musk nearly $100 billion in a week. Peter Schiff compares the roughly three-quarters of a trillion dollars in annual AI CapEx to the dot-com build-out, where the early favorites went bankrupt and took their vendors down with them.The bigger danger is Japan. The yen fell to a 40-year low against the dollar, the 30-year JGB yield hit an all-time high near 4%, and with debt above 200% of GDP and a policy rate still at just 1%, Japan is trapped. Whether the Bank of Japan finally hikes aggressively or stays timid, the result spills into the United States, potentially forcing the world's largest holder of US Treasuries to dump its $1.1 trillion position. Schiff calls Japan the pin that pricks the far bigger US bubble. Meanwhile the US 30-year yield hit a 20-year high of 5.16% on more than four times the debt of 2006, oil is up 30% in July guaranteeing a hotter CPI, and gold rose on the week even as bonds and stocks fell, with the miners signaling a bottom. He closes on why record-low jobless claims are meaningless in a gig economy and why Trump's new slave-labor tariffs are an unconstitutional tax on Americans.Chapters:00:00 Japan Sparks US Crisis00:41 AI CapEx Reality Check07:51 AI Bubble Parallels13:03 Gold Miners Rebound19:17 Oil Bonds Warning Signs32:16 Japan Debt Rate Trap34:36 Weak Yen Trade Deficits37:22 Japan Creditor Status Slips41:22 Two Japan Crisis Paths44:26 US Vulnerability Dominoes45:21 Unemployment Claims Hype47:20 Why Claims Mislead51:37 New Tariffs Legal Workaround59:03 Wrap Up Subscribe CallFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiff#PeterSchiffShow #gold #inflationOur Sponsors:* Check out Chilipad and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://sleep.me* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out Plaud AI and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://plaud.ai* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/gold for a great deal: https://www.quince.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Rates may vary.Kevin Warsh delivered his first congressional testimony as Fed Chair, and Peter Schiff breaks down a hearing where everyone discussed inflation while misdefining the term and ignoring their own role in causing it. June CPI came in at -0.4% versus the expected -0.1%, dropping year-over-year inflation to 3.5% — but the entire decline came from a temporary oil price drop that is already reversing as the Iran war reignites and oil climbs back 20% in July. Bond yields tell the real story: the 30-year is back near 5.1% and the 10-year near 4.6%, erasing nearly the entire post-CPI rally.Schiff's biggest revelation from the hearing: the Fed employs 23,000 people to do a job that required just 40 when it opened in 1914 — with no computers — and argues the entire institution could be replaced by a single AI or abolished outright. He dismantles Warsh's claim of "regime change" at the Fed as being as fake as regime change in Iran, exposes the redefinition of "price stability" to mean prices that rise just slowly enough that people stop complaining, and shows how the 2% target was always a lie invented to justify inflation. He covers Warsh admitting inflation is a tax while planning to keep levying it, the court throwing out Trump's self-negotiated IRS settlement that granted his family immunity, and the AI CapEx bubble turning tech's biggest cash generators into massive borrowers that will break the bond market.Chapters:00:00 AI Spending Arms Race01:08 Markets Brace for CPI06:07 CPI Surprise and Gold Whipsaw07:34 Oil Driven Inflation Mirage11:40 What Inflation Really Means14:11 Congress and Fed Share Blame17:58 Fed Headcount Shock22:32 Two Percent Target Myth27:05 Regime Change and Price Stability33:40 Day One Recap Continues34:09 Grow My X Account35:13 Congress Inflation Theater36:06 Trump Grift Claims37:30 IRS Settlement Outrage39:51 Rates Versus Balance Sheet41:08 Who Wins Low Rates43:46 Fed And Black Workers49:09 AI Bubble Warning51:15 Hyperscalers Debt Spiral55:38 Bond Market Breaking Point58:16 Strategy Stock Dilution01:00:30 Bitcoin Levels And Regrets01:01:30 Subscribe And Sign OffFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiff#PeterSchiffShow #FederalReserve #AIBubbleOur Sponsors:* Check out Chilipad and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://sleep.me* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out Plaud AI and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://plaud.ai* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/gold for a great deal: https://www.quince.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Oil jumped 6% to $75, but the real story is bond yields: the 10-year hit 4.58% and the 30-year 5.07% — nearly at cycle highs despite oil being 25% below its peak, proving the debt, not the war, is driving yields higher.FOMC minutes revealed that 9 of 13 members now support rate hikes after zero did just 90 days ago — theatrics Schiff says Warsh is orchestrating to appear hawkish without ever delivering. The May goods trade deficit exploded to $106.5 billion despite Trump's tariffs, continuing the pattern from his first term. DOGE was officially shut down with zero spending cuts achieved. Strategy sold 3,588 Bitcoin at a $15,000 per coin loss while Stretch sank to $86, and Trump's new savings accounts give kids $1,000 in borrowed money they'll repay through inflation. Schiff closes by noting that medieval serfs kept 75% of their output — more than the average American keeps today — making modern taxpayers lower in status than feudal peasants.Chapters:00:00 Freedom Versus Slavery00:46 Iran Deal Collapses05:04 Markets React to War07:15 Oil Bonds and AI Bubble16:17 Fed Minutes Rate Hike Theater21:28 Tariffs Inflation Excuses26:10 Real Rates and Debt Trap27:41 Trade Deficit Reality Check30:03 AI Threat to Services Surplus32:32 Democracy Deficits and Rights34:59 Rights And Healthcare36:28 Housing And Free Markets40:08 Tax Cuts And Wealth Theft45:55 Taxes And Modern Slavery48:25 DOGE Shutdown And Bitcoin CrashFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffOur Sponsors:* Check out Chilipad and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://sleep.me* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out Plaud AI and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://plaud.ai* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/gold for a great deal: https://www.quince.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

As Chief Investment Strategist at Hightower Advisors, Stephanie Link spends her days researching the market's winners. Today, she's breaking it all down for us. Stephanie explains why the economy keeps defying the doom-and-gloom headlines, which stocks she thinks will champion the next decade, and why she believes we're only in the third inning of the AI revolution. Nicole and Stephanie get tactical fast: the difference between the Mag 7 and the "S&P 493," which stocks are not worth the hype, and Stephanie's thesis that cybersecurity stocks will end up being bigger than AI. She names her favorite tickers across cybersecurity, data centers, robotics, and quantum computing, and explains whether it's too late to buy NVIDIA. Stephanie also gets real about the so-called "AI bubble," the circular spending debate freaking out investors, and why she bought SpaceX but capped it at just 2% of her portfolio. Plus: what her 19-year-old daughter is investing in, why "FAANG" just got a 2026 update, and the one boring, unsexy ETF Stephanie says every new investor should consider.

Warum scheitern B2B-Innovationen oft nicht an der Technologie, sondern schlichtweg am System? In Folge 96 von Working with Startups from Science begrüßt Host Nicolas Rode Klaus Schein, den Programmdirektor für Co-Creation an der Steinbeis-University Schools of Next Practices in Berlin und Autor des Fachbuchs „Co-Value Creating – Mit strategischen Kunden nachhaltig wachsen“. Klaus blickt auf eine über 45-jährige Karriere zurück, von den Anfängen als Entwicklungsingenieur bei Rohde & Schwarz über Stationen bei HP, GE und Rockwell Automation bis zu seiner heutigen Rolle als Architekt für moderne Zusammenarbeit. Das Kernproblem: Die Sackgasse der VorleistungenViele Unternehmen stecken in einer lähmenden Falle : Kunden fordern hochspezifische Gesamtlösungen an. Das Engineering investiert beträchtliche Ressourcen und Know-how in detaillierte Angebote. Am Ende legt der Anbieter sein geistiges Eigentum offen , woraufhin der Einkauf das Konzept nutzt, um den Preis im Gespräch mit Mitbewerbern drastisch zu drücken. Das führt zu einem Teufelskreis aus extremem Margendruck und Innovationsstau. „Wir verlieren nicht wegen Technik oder Beziehung. Wir verlieren wegen des Systems.“ – Klaus Schein Wenn der Anbieter in Vorleistung geht und der Kunde erst sehr spät entscheidet, entsteht ein einseitiges Risiko, das wertvolle Kapazitäten bindet und mühsam erarbeitetes Know-how abfließen lässt. Die Lösung: Co-Value Creating (CVC) & „Beweis vor Budget“Die Antwort auf dieses Dilemma lautet Co-Value Creating (CVC). Das Prinzip bricht radikal mit der rein transaktionalen Logik und setzt konsequent auf das Credo „Beweis vor Budget“. Leistung wird direkt an verbindliche Entscheidungen gekoppelt. Hierzu dient der von Klaus Schein entwickelte evolutionäre VICI-Prozess. Kultureller Wandel und SteuerungsinstrumenteKlaus schöpft aus Erlebnissen bei HP („HP Way“) und GE, wo Jack Welch als „Chief Fun Officer“ Vorgesetzte als Wegräumer verstand. Um Silokämpfe zu überwinden , entwarf er eine Matrix, welche die Beidhändigkeit (Ambidextrie) zwischen dem Nutzen des Bestehenden (Exploit) und dem Erkunden des Neuen (Explore) sichert und vier Basiskulturen integriert: Stabilität, Agilität, Leistung und Innovation. Für die operative Umsetzung bietet CVC konkrete Steuerungswerkzeuge : den CVC-Index mit dem Value Influence Score (VIS) und Work Probability Index (WPI) , das prozessagnostische VOTE-Modell , das Prisma-Modell für vier Dimensionen (strategisch, kaufmännisch, operativ, technisch) sowie das RISE-Framework zur Skalierung. Hinzu kommt die IPPP-Logik (Invest in People & Planet to multiply Profit) : Wer konsequent in Mitarbeiter und Nachhaltigkeit investiert, realisiert Einsparungen und generiert eine enkeltaugliche Rendite. Für wen ist diese Folge relevant? Inhaber, Geschäftsführer, Vertriebsleitungen, Key Account Manager sowie Verantwortliche aus Engineering und Operations.

Smart manufacturing has moved past the pilot phase, and manufacturers that still treat AI and automation like side projects are running out of time.Rockwell Automation Chairman and CEO Blake Moret joins us to talk about the next era of smart manufacturing: AI-enabled operations, digital twins, autonomous mobile robots, cybersecurity, factory modernization and the workforce needed to enable it.Blake breaks down what Rockwell means by the “factory of the future,” including the company's planned million-square-foot facility and the modernization of its existing manufacturing footprint. He explains why the future of automation starts with identifying manufacturing problems, not technology for technology's sake, and why domain expertise still matters in an AI-driven world.We also dig into Rockwell's 11th Annual State of Smart Manufacturing Report, where AI and machine learning have moved to the top of manufacturers' investment priorities. Blake shares what manufacturers are getting right, where they're still vulnerable, and why U.S. companies need to adopt advanced technology “like they mean it” if they want to stay competitive globally.From digital twins of production lines to the possibility of digitally modeling entire enterprises, this conversation offers a clear look at where manufacturing is headed, and what industry, education and workforce leaders need to do now to keep up.3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Smart manufacturing has moved from experimentation to execution.Rockwell's $2 billion investment in plants, talent and digital infrastructure shows how seriously the company is modernizing its own operations. Blake explains how the planned New Berlin facility and upgrades to existing plants will use digital twins, mobile robots, MES software and edge data to improve customer service, efficiency and scalability.2. AI is changing the way factories are designed, operated and improved.Blake explains that AI and machine learning are simplifying automation by helping engineers design, commission, operate and maintain systems more efficiently. He also describes how digital twins and emulation can de-bottleneck production before physical equipment is running, and how those models could eventually extend beyond the plant floor into supply chain and financial forecasting.3. U.S. manufacturers need to adopt technology like they mean it.In discussing Rockwell's State of Smart Manufacturing Report, Blake points to a sharp contrast between U.S. and Chinese approaches to external risk. His message to manufacturers is clear: advanced technology adoption cannot be a hobby, a pilot or a box to check. It has to become a real source of competitive advantage.Resources in this Episode:Read the 11th Annual State of Smart Manufacturing ReportAcademy of Advanced Manufacturing (AAM) Program for VeteransRockwell Automation's planned 1-million-square-foot "factory of the future"Find more resources on the episode page! https://techedpodcast.com/moret2/We want to hear from you!

Peter Schiff argues the bond market is telling the real story: with $13 trillion in debt maturing this year plus $3 trillion in new borrowing, the US needs to convince creditors to roll over nearly $20 trillion — an amount without historical precedent.The AI CapEx bubble is now consuming a trillion dollars a year, funded by layoffs and foregone investment in actual manufacturing. Schiff compares it to dot-com: the technology is real but the stocks are wildly overvalued and most will go to zero when rising interest rates prick the bubble. Meanwhile, Michael Saylor burned over 60% of Strategy's cash reserves paying off zero-interest convertible notes three years early — a move Schiff says was forced by behind-the-scenes pressure, not financial genius. Elizabeth Warren accidentally made the best case against payroll taxes by pointing out that companies are incentivized to replace workers with AI because hiring people is taxed while buying computers isn't — though her solution is more taxes, not fewer.Chapters:00:00 - Intro00:53 - Iran War & Market Reaction06:47 - Bond Market & The Debt Crisis14:25 - Ad Break: Ethos15:47 - The AI CapEx Bubble26:23 - Gold, Silver & Mining Stocks29:11 - IRS Lawsuit & Bank Documentary32:12 - Ad Break: Rockwell Automation33:35 - Elizabeth Warren's AI Tax Proposal47:28 - Strategy, Bitcoin & The Coming Bust57:25 - Tokenized Gold vs Bitcoin58:42 - Summer Sign-Off & 250th AnniversaryFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffFree Reports & Market Updates: https://www.europac.comBook Store: https://schiffradio.com/booksSign up for Peter's most valuable insights at https://schiffsovereign.comSchiff Gold News: https://www.schiffgold.com/news#PeterSchiffShow #DebtCrisis #GoldInvestingOur Sponsors:* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out Plaud AI and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://plaud.ai* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In the engineering world, we rely on sensors to acquire data from real-world processes and machines. Deciding how to use that data is very important. The right decisions impact process efficiency, system reliability, and even worker safety.   Join Control.com's David Peterson as he chats with Kate Sokolnicki of Rockwell Automation in this episode of the Moore's Lobby podcast. Sokolnicki explains the evolution of industrial sensing and the shift toward data-driven manufacturing.  They discuss many key technological advancements, including: -IO-Link as a standard: Simple sensors are transitioning into "smart" devices that provide dual-channel feedback—process data and health analytics—without typical price premiums. -Commoditized vision AI: High-end vision systems are being replaced by affordable cameras capable of quality checks and AI-driven processing at the edge or in the cloud. -Smart safety protocols: Learn how operators can now pinpoint specific faults in a daisy-chained system (e.g., identifying exactly which door is ajar), significantly reducing troubleshooting time. Sokolnicki notes that while AI is powerful, it requires robust metadata (machine, shift, and location context) to be actionable. She highlights how condition monitoring—such as tracking "heartbeats," sensor margins, or cable tension—allows plants to move from reactive repairs to proactive maintenance. She concludes by encouraging young engineers to prioritize back-of-the-napkin math and the common-sense test. Instead of relying solely on theoretical calculations, she advocates for interrogating results to ensure they align with physical reality. Rockwell Automation is committed to enabling the next generation of smart manufacturing. Under their Allen-Bradley brand, Rockwell has a broad portfolio of high-performance sensors and switches. This includes proximity and photoelectric sensors, limit switches, safety switches, and RFID and operator safety devices.  Meet Kate Sokolnicki Kate Sokolnicki is the Global Business Director for Rockwell Automation's Sensing & Safety business unit and serves as the site lead for Rockwell's Chelmsford, MA location. She oversees product portfolio strategy and is responsible for global sales growth.  Kate joined Rockwell in 2015 as a product specialist and was promoted to portfolio manager supporting Sensing, Safety, and Connectivity. Most recently, she was a business manager responsible for in-cabinet infrastructure products, including single-pair Ethernet/IP.  Prior to joining Rockwell, Kate worked in the biomedical industry as an applications engineer. Kate holds a BSc in Chemical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and lives in Chelmsford, MA.

Physical AI is the application of artificial intelligence to machines that operate in the real world — industrial robots, cobots, autonomous vehicles, drones, and humanoid robots. Unlike AI software that lives only on a screen, physical AI directly performs labor: assembling products, moving materials, inspecting quality, and operating equipment. For investors, it converts the AI thesis into measurable productivity gains and physical reshored capacity.

While fully autonomous bioprocessing is within reach, adoption remains gradual as manufacturers navigate challenges around data maturity, regulatory expectations, and operational readiness. As companies modernize, the focus is shifting toward building the digital and organizational foundations needed to enable more intelligent, scalable process control, particularly through connected systems, stronger data infrastructure, and more explainable AI models that can support real-time decision-making. In this episode of Off Script, we spoke with Mel Radford, director, life sciences global accounts at Rockwell Automation, about the key barriers to autonomy and how companies can move from reactive operations toward predictive and closed-loop process control. The conversation explores how hybrid models combining first-principles engineering with AI can improve control performance, stability, and yield while remaining transparent and easier to validate, as well as the importance of embedding compliance, governance, and human-centered change management into next-generation control strategies.

What if workplace conflict is not something to avoid, but the very path to healing and high performance? In this episode, Susan Winchester shares how a 36-year corporate HR career evolved into a purpose-driven executive coaching and consulting practice focused on emotional intelligence, leadership effectiveness, and workplace healing. Susan served in senior HR leadership roles for global organizations including Kellogg's, Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, Rockwell Automation, and Applied Materials. After retiring from corporate life at 60, she transitioned into her own consulting and executive coaching practice, helping C-suite leaders and organizations transform workplace dynamics through her proprietary frameworks.

For 36 years, Susan Winchester embodied success — Fortune 150 CHRO, award-winning leader, respected across industries. Yet for 30 of those years, that success was driven by a quiet, relentless belief: “I'm not enough.” Behind the accolades was constant anxiety, perfectionism, and people-pleasing. Until one 90-minute session cracked open a 17-year creative block — and began a five-and-a-half-year journey of deep inner transformation. In this conversation, Celinne and Susan explore what happens when high-achievers stop proving and start embodying who they truly are. You'll hear how Susan rebuilt her relationship with time, created a business rooted in joy, and learned that real leadership begins in the body, not the boardroom.If you've mastered the how-tos of success but still feel that quiet gap between who you are and who you're meant to be, this episode shows how to bridge it. ON THIS EPISODE: 00:01 Meet Susan Winchester, former Fortune 150 CHRO who works with Celinne on ongoing transformation 04:06 Discover the invisible toll of high achievement—anxiety, perfectionism, Chardonnay, and the belief "I'm not enough" 08:26 Witness the moment Susan broke through 17 years of resistance to publishing her vulnerable book 16:45 Learn about the "unconscious wounded career path" that fuels most corporate careers 28:30 Explore how addressing root beliefs dismantles decades of conditioning 42:18 Hear how Susan redesigned her entire post-corporate business model through deep alignment work 58:22 Understand what shifts when you stop forcing and start embodying your truth 01:15 Discover the freedom available when you address the patterns driving your success KEY IDEAS: ✨ Your success might be fueled by what's hurting you. Susan spent 30 of her 36-year career proving herself over and over, going home to review the day and beat herself up, using wine to take the edge off anxiety. High achievement and deep pain can coexist—and often do—until you commit to addressing the unconscious beliefs driving the performance. ✨ Real transformation takes consistent work over time. Susan has worked with Celinne for five and a half years, steadily dismantling patterns of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and anxiety that most leaders accept as "normal." This wasn't a quick fix—it was a commitment to showing up for herself until the patterns finally shifted. ✨ Addressing the root changes everything else. Through years of breath work, nervous system regulation, and energetic alignment, Susan learned to create limitless time, build a new relationship with money, and design a business she actually loves—not one she thinks she should have. ✨ Alignment creates results that force can't. When you stop performing and start embodying your truth, opportunities find you. But that embodiment comes from years of practice, not a single breakthrough moment. RESOURCES: Susan J.

Successful partners that will lead the way will be companies who can speak the language of operational data.” - Jeffrey Miller“Before semiconductor and chips, it was oil. Now chips have become the new oil. After and during COVID, the world came to the realization that there needs to be resiliency of the supply chain.

Learn how smart sensors enable predictive maintenance, AI-powered manufacturing, and revolutionary ADAR technology that's changing industrial automation and robot safety economics with insights from Endress+Hauser, Rockwell Automation, specialty chemicals company Premix Group, and Sonair.

Artificial intelligence is no longer just a buzzword in manufacturing. The pace of adoption has been incredible, yet the reality is far more complex than flashy headlines suggest. In this episode of Manufacturing Hub, Vlad Romanov and Dave Griffith welcome back Tom Hechtman, founder of Sepasoft, to explore how AI is actually being deployed on the plant floor, what barriers remain, and whether we are truly transforming manufacturing or simply tinkering at the edges.Tom brings decades of experience building MES solutions for manufacturers around the globe. From his early days in the Midwest working with Rockwell Automation technology to launching Sepasoft's Ignition MES modules and now leading the development of Sepa IQ, Tom has been at the forefront of data, analytics, and system integration. His insights bridge the gap between hype and practice, helping us understand where AI creates real ROI, where it still falls short, and how to build the foundations for success.Throughout the conversation we dive into the challenges of quality improvement, predictive maintenance, scheduling optimization, and contextualizing plant data. We discuss the importance of trust in both data and AI-generated outputs, the economics of running LLMs and machine learning models, and why cybersecurity and data governance cannot be an afterthought. Drawing on the recent MIT study that revealed only 5 percent of AI projects make a measurable P&L impact, Tom helps us unpack what manufacturers need to do differently if they want to avoid being part of the 95 percent that fail.We also get an update on Sepa IQ and how customers are using it to connect plant floor data, structure it for AI and analytics, and prepare for advanced scheduling and predictive tools. From lessons learned working with early adopters to practical advice on starting small, Tom makes it clear that manufacturing AI is a journey that requires technical expertise, domain knowledge, and cultural change.Whether you are an executive evaluating AI investments, a controls engineer curious about new tools, or a plant manager wondering how to get real results, this episode delivers a balanced, practical, and in-depth perspective on the future of AI in manufacturing.Timestamps 00:00 Introduction and AI in every manufacturing conversation 03:00 Tom Hechtman background and the origins of Sepasoft 05:00 MES modules, batch processing, and the evolution of Sepa IQ 08:00 Defining manufacturing AI and the role of plant floor data 13:00 Quality improvement and predictive analytics opportunities 20:00 Foundational challenges with legacy systems and data collection 24:00 Insights from the MIT study on AI adoption and ROI 32:00 Training data, context windows, and the economics of LLMs 44:00 Sepa IQ customer feedback and scheduling optimization 50:00 Trust, hallucinations, and cybersecurity considerations 59:00 ICC announcements, demos, and proof of concept program 1:03:00 Predictions for AI in manufacturing and career adviceReferences mentioned in the episode MIT study on AI in business: https://mitsloan.mit.edu/ideas-made-to-matter/how-to-get-ai-to-pay-off Sepasoft Blog on AI and manufacturing: https://sepasoft.com/blog/ The One Thing by Gary Keller: https://www.the1thing.com/About the guest Tom Hechtman is the founder of Sepasoft, a leading provider of MES modules for the Ignition platform by Inductive Automation.
