This week, he talks with Redeemed director Nate Dewberry to share what he's learned from successful Christian business leaders and from Messiah University's phenomenally successful men's and women's soccer programs. His insights—such as pursuing a purpose higher than winning and owning responsibility rather than shifting blame—are practical habits men can apply in their daily lives as businessmen, husbands, and fathers.Segments/chapters0:00 Intro/a little about Mike's background3:23 Mike's faith journey/What does redemption mean to you?9:11 How Mike got inspired to study and write about leadership14:39 Some common traits of the Christian business leaders Mike's studied18:08 Lessons from Messiah U soccer that men can apply in their daily lives24:35 What Mike experienced as he applied those leadership principles to his own life30:45 Striking a balance between striving and contentment37:08 Mike previews his next project/closing thoughtsVisit The Redeemed's website for downloadable discussion question sets, show notes, inspirational articles, more resources, or to share your testimony.Join our Exclusive Newsletter: Signup today and be the first to get notified on upcoming podcasts and new resources!The Redeemed is an organization giving men from all backgrounds a supportive, judgment-free environment, grounded in Christian love without demanding participation in any faith tradition, where they can open up about their challenges, worries, and failures—and celebrate their triumphs over those struggles.

Welcome to Season 5, Episode 40! In this episode, we explore the flavorful transformation of teriyaki—from its roots in Edo-period Japan as a fish-glazing technique to a global flavor phenomenon. We trace how teriyaki made its way across the Pacific, evolved in Hawaiʻi through Japanese immigrant innovation, and exploded in popularity thanks to the Seattle-style chicken teriyaki plate introduced by Toshihiro “Toshi” Kasahara. Along the way, we compare the Hawaiian plate lunch to the traditional Japanese bento, examine bottled sauce pioneers like Kikkoman, Soy Vay, and Mr. Yoshida's, and share stats on North American teriyaki consumption (It's a lot!). The episode also features quotes from food writers and chefs like Sonoko Sakai, Roy Choi, Soleil Ho, David Chang, and Sheldon Simeon (whom we had a conversation with way back on S02E24), as we discuss how reframing teriyaki from a method into a flavor has fueled its growth. Whether in burgers, tacos, wings, or jerky, teriyaki has truly become a taste that transcends borders. In our recurring segment, we have another installment of Obscure API Comic Book Characters. Today we bring you the DC hero Shiny Happy Aquazon, a water-based hero of Japanese origin created by Grant Morrison and J.G. Jones. We open the episode with some current events that include celebrations of Shohei Ohtani, Jessica Sanchez, and Arthur Sze.

Recruiting and retaining great people is one of the biggest challenges in manufacturing today—but what if the solution isn't just about wages or benefits, but about building a culture where people thrive? In this episode of the Machine Shop MBA series, we are joined by guest co-host Jon Franko and special guest Mike Tamasi, CEO of AccuRounds, a former Top Shops award winner for Human Resources. Mike shares how AccuRounds has become an employer of choice by focusing on community engagement, core values, and creating opportunity for every team member. From partnering with vocational schools and launching unique workforce development programs to embracing servant leadership and lifelong learning, Mike reveals why culture is not a buzzword—it's a competitive advantage. You'll hear how AccuRounds is tackling the workforce shortage by looking beyond traditional talent pools, empowering young people through co-ops and internships, and even launching initiatives like the Uniquely Abled Academy to provide CNC training for adults on the autism spectrum. The results? A highly engaged team, industry recognition, and stories of employees buying homes, building families, and creating meaningful careers. If you're a shop leader struggling with workforce challenges—or simply looking for fresh ideas on how to build a resilient and loyal team—this episode is packed with lessons you can implement immediately.

Tek & Prem welcome Tom Stakes onto the VetLine to talk Eagles. The Broncos come to Philly with their stout defense and young quarterback Bo Nix. The Broncos last win in Philadelphia came in 1986. At 4-0, the Birds have simply found ways to win. The offense, defense, and special teams units have contributed equally throughout their undefeated September against top-tier NFL competition. As the Super Bowl Champions head into October, the offense will continue to evolve, and the defense will see the return of Nakobe Dean to the field. The Phillies and Dodgers are set to meet in the NLDS and the first two games will take place at the raucous Citizens Bank Park. With a marquee pitching matchup of Ohtani v. Sanchez for Game One, the pressure is on this group of Phillies to phinally get it done in October after reaching the World Series in 2022, losing, and not making it back in their last two attempts. The table is set, but the bats will need to get hot if they expect to knock off the defending World Series Champion Dodgers in this best-of-five series. Segments include: VetPhact, VetLine, The Tek 10, Prem's NFL Picks. Courtesy of the Vet Alumni Members Association (VAMA)

In this episode:L-theanine is found in tea leaves and promises to help you be calm and focused. Does it work and is there evidence it can help you perform better? We look in to it on the Medical Mailbag. Then, we're diving headfirst into the wild world of wellness disinformation in this episode, where we tackle the absurdity of trusting health influencers like Dr. Joseph Mercola, who somehow manages to make a fortune peddling questionable advice. Our guest, Jonathan Jarry, a science communicator from McGill University, spills the tea (pun totally intended) on Mercola's bizarre reliance on a psychic medium for guidance on health matters. You heard that right—this guy's taking medical advice from someone channeling a spirit named Balon. We chat about how this all ties into the larger trend of seeking simple answers to complex health questions, and why people are so easily duped by flashy claims. As we dissect the ludicrousness of it all, we'll arm you with some tools to cut through the nonsense and hopefully make better choices in your health journey. So buckle up, because this rollercoaster of ridiculousness is about to get real!Segments:[06:49]- Medical Mailbag: L-theanine[28:57]- Interview: Jonathan Jarry LinksJonathan's Website The Mercola Tapes on YouTube
This week, The Redeemed Man podcast welcomes back one of its very first guests, licensed counselor and minister Michael Cusick, to talk about his new book Sacred Attachments. In his conversation with Nate Dewberry, Michael explains what attachment means, why it matters, and how the bonds we form, or fail to form, early in life can shape us as adults. He also highlights the importance of openness and honesty, how to guard against “spiritual exhaustion,” and what it means to embrace a “re-imagined” life with God—one marked not by constant activity, but by rest and security in His love.

For decades, mysterious UFO sightings have been reported near nuclear missile sites, military bases, and power plants. Are these encounters part of a deliberate pattern — or is it all just human perception and coincidence?In this video, Ty discusses the link between UFOs and nuclear weapons and asks the hard questions:-Why do UFOs appear near nuclear facilities so often?-Are declassified military reports and whistleblower testimonies revealing a hidden truth?-Are we falling victim to pattern recognition and psychological bias?

Leadership is more than a buzzword—it's the backbone of every successful machine shop. In this episode of MakingChips—Machine Shop MBA, hosts Paul Van Metre and Jen Dubose sit down with Kyra Tillman, owner of BTM Industries, to explore what real leadership looks like on the shop floor and in the front office. Kyra inherited a decades-old family shop steeped in tradition and transformed it into a forward-looking, systems-driven operation without losing its close-knit culture. Drawing on her experience in construction and her perspective as a non-machinist leader, she shares how she built trust, introduced new systems, and developed her people—all while respecting the expertise already on her team. This conversation digs into the mechanics of leadership in a small manufacturing business: why humility and transparency matter, how to foster a culture of continuous improvement, and the difference between managing work and leading people. Kyra also outlines her approach to apprenticeship programs, leadership training, and grants, showing that even small shops can invest in their workforce and future. Whether you're an established owner or just starting your journey, Kyra's lessons on change management, talent development, and leading by example will help you strengthen your shop from the inside out.

Tek & Prem welcome Kay Adams' Senior Producer Matt Hamilton of FanDuel TV on the VetLine to talk NFL. The Eagles stun the Rams and move to 3-0. Looking ahead at a tough matchup in Tampa Bay, the Eagles have the edge in this edition of the rivalry, as the Bucs are missing their best playmaker and Baker Mayfield nurses an arm injury. Jalen Hurts, Saquon, DeVonta and AJ are 18-0 when starting and finishing games together. Defensively, the loss of Nolan Smith is big, but there are able-bodies to step in and create a pass rush for the Birds. Vic Fangio's system is air tight thus far as the chief of the defense. The Phillies clinch the bye in the NL Playoffs and homefield advantage if they make it back to the World Series.

Less than a year into his studies at Georgia Tech, Peyton Wells found himself in the middle of a spiritual and existential crisis: Had he been living for the wrong things? Did God have something better in store for him? That search for answers led Peyton to make the difficult decision to transfer to Highlands College to pursue a career in ministry, a choice that strengthened his faith and taught him valuable lessons. This week, Peyton joins Nate Dewberry to share the lessons he's learned along the way, from the daily need to “put on God's armor,” to the power of being open and transparent, to the unique freedom that comes when we let God take control.Segments/chapters0:00 Intro/Peyton's journey4:19 Peyton's fears upon deciding to leave Georgia Tech to pursue a career in ministry12:16 The “daily rhythms” Peyton has taken up since changing his path19:17 Dealing with doubt25:29 Bible verses that Peyton relies on for guidance29:13 Peyton takes stock of where he's succeeded and where he's still struggling38:04 Being vulnerable and maintaining friends you're willing to share things with48:16 Peyton looks to his futureVisit The Redeemed's website for downloadable discussion question sets, show notes, inspirational articles, more resources, or to share your testimony.Join our Exclusive Newsletter: Signup today and be the first to get notified on upcoming podcasts and new resources!The Redeemed is an organization giving men from all backgrounds a supportive, judgment-free environment, grounded in Christian love without demanding participation in any faith tradition, where they can open up about their challenges, worries, and failures—and celebrate their triumphs over those struggles.

In this special MakingChips Machine Shop MBA episode, we sit down with Peter Doyle—CEO of Hirsch Precision—to unpack what it takes to grow and transform a machine shop with purpose. From his roots as an Air Force officer to leading a former Top Shops award winner, Peter has blended strategy, structure, and heart into a roadmap any shop leader can learn from. Peter shares why strategic vision is more than a slogan on a wall. He explains how his team at Hirsch Precision focuses on high-mix, low-volume work, invests heavily in sales and marketing, and positions themselves as partners to engineers—not just parts suppliers. This shift has generated a steady stream of new business opportunities while maintaining the discipline required for regulated industries like aerospace and medical. Throughout the conversation, Peter emphasizes the importance of deliberate decisions: building customer-centric processes, developing leaders, hiring wisely, and implementing technology and certifications that align with their mission to “improve quality of life through precision manufacturing solutions.” For machine shop owners, managers, and future leaders, this episode is a blueprint for balancing risk with reward—how to create a strategic growth vision, win the right customers, and build a resilient team ready for the next decade of manufacturing innovation. Segments (2:42) Peter's career journey from Air Force officer to Deloitte consultant to manufacturing leader (4:32) Lessons from Top Shops benchmarking—how to interpret the data and use it to guide strategy (5:53) Defining strategic growth: vision, customer focus, structure, agility, and leadership development (9:04) Building a sales and marketing engine—brand refresh, website upgrade, CRM adoption, and content strategy (10:57) Join us at Top Shops 2025 in Charlotte, NC!

An exclusive, sit-down conversation with Dr. Gregory Rogers — former NASA Chief of Medicine and a veteran USAF Chief Flight Surgeon. Ty Roberts gets the full account from the man who worked beside some of the most storied pilots in military and space history. Dr. Rogers recounts the moment he was shown a UFO on a CCTV monitor, the 1992 incident that later drew serious attention, and the weight of secrecy carried by those who served. He also responds to recent disclosures — including the implications of David Grush's testimony — and what military contact with unexplained technology could mean for science, policy, and public truth. Tense, candid, and unflinching, this interview cuts through jargon and secrecy to focus on what matters: real frontline experiences, the emotional toll of withholding the truth, and a clear call for meaningful disclosure. Whether you're a skeptic, researcher, or believer, this one-on-one is required listening.

In this episode:Diving into the chaotic yet exhilarating world of triathlon and medicine, this episode showcases the fascinating journey of Pavlos Antoniedes, a medical student who somehow juggles both rigorous academic studies and being a national-level triathlete. Imagine the life of someone who, while mastering the complex anatomy of the human body, also trains like a beast, preparing for grueling competitions. The conversation starts with the absurdity of trying to balance a medical career with the demands of elite triathlon training. Pavlos shares his backstory—how he transitioned from hockey to triathlon, driven by family ties and a desire to find a sport that resonated with him. As we laugh and shake our heads at the sheer madness of it all, he reveals how he manages to keep his training schedule flexible enough to dodge the pitfalls of burnout and exhaustion, all while excelling in medical school. It's a wild ride filled with insights into the pressures athletes face, the mental gymnastics needed to excel in both fields, and the occasional sarcastic quip about medical exams and race days that will leave you chuckling at the absurdity of it all.Segments:[07:28]- Medical Mailbag: Lumos Sleep Mask[time stamp]- Interview: Pavlos Antoniades Links@pavanton31 on Instagram Pavlos 's Facebook page Lumos

Tek & Prem welcome Jon Marks on the VetLine to talk Eagles and Phillies. The Birds host the Rams this weekend at the Linc in a Divisional Round Rematch as we delve into game dynamics. With a stout defense and veteran QB bent on revenge, this matchup will be as tough a game as any on the Eagles 2025 Schedule. Jalen Hurts acknowledges the offense's struggles in the passing game in the first 2 games and we expect to see an improved product at home on Sunday. Stafford has weapons and knows how to get the ball into their hands, so the game will again fall on the back of Fangio and his defensive plan, and our playmakers. The Phillies have secured their 2nd straight NL East Title and are in the race for the NL 1 seed as they head to Arizona this weekend firmly in control of the 2 seed, after winning 2 of 3 against the Dodgers. The D'Backs are fighting for their Playoff lives, but the Phils lineup has been getting contributions from just about everyone, and they look primed for a World Series run. Segments include: VetPhact, Tek's 10, VetLine, & Prem's NFL Picks. Courtesy of the Vet Alumni Members Association (VAMA)

If you've ever lost sleep wondering whether you missed a critical detail in a quote—or felt the adrenaline of winning a job only to realize you underpriced it—this MakingChips episode is for you. Recorded live at FABTECH 2025, Nick sits down with Jason Ray, founder of Paperless Parts, to unveil a breakthrough tool that promises to transform how shops handle complex RFQs, drawings, and bills of materials. Over the past decade, Paperless Parts has become synonymous with solving bottlenecks in estimating and quoting. Their mission has been clear: empower people—not replace them—with software designed to make quoting faster, smarter, and less risky. In this conversation, Jason shares how their latest release takes that vision even further by surfacing critical requirements buried inside complex drawings and bills of materials. This episode is full of relatable stories and practical lessons. Jason explains how the new “Requirements Review” functionality captures tribal knowledge, accelerates mentoring, and helps shops avoid underpricing jobs while improving their RFQ triage process. Nick and Jason also dig into the big picture: the hype cycle of AI in manufacturing, the importance of trust and customer retention, and the future of Paperless Parts—including “historical intelligence” and next-level shop insights. Whether you're a shop owner, estimator, or manufacturing leader, you'll leave this episode with actionable takeaways for quoting more accurately, prioritizing the right work, and scaling your business intelligently.

Welcome to Season 5, Episode 37! Today we continue with the second part of The History of The Secret War in Laos. We highly recommend going back to listen to Part 1. That's where you'll hear about the Cold War motivations behind U.S. involvement in Laos, the rise of General Vang Pao and the Hmong Secret Army, and the massive bombing campaign that made Laos the most heavily bombed country per capita in history. In this episode, we'll talk about the aftermath once the war ended… from re-education camps for the Lao and Hmong soldiers who fought on the side of the Americans, to the massive amount of UXO clean-up, to the refugee crisis. We also share some of the challenges with the current administrations policy of revoking temporary refugee status for many in the community. To learn more about some of the organizations helping with clean-up and education, checkout Legacies of War, Mines Advisory Group, or the Southeast Asia Resource Action Center. You can learn about all three and support them through donations. For our recurring segment, we talk about Netflix's most popular show ever… Kpop Demon Hunters. Kpop now goes beyond Korea, and with several prominent Korean American voice actors, this show definitely resonated with people who find relevance with the “third culture” experience. Whether you watch it for the story, action, music, or Kpop scenes, it's a show that is resonating with a lot of people!

Every machine shop leader knows you can buy the best equipment, implement cutting-edge automation, and have bulletproof processes—but without the right team and culture, growth will stall. In this episode of MakingChips Machine Shop MBA, we talk with Matt Wardle, President of JD Machine, about how he transformed a small Utah shop into a 210-person powerhouse by prioritizing people and culture over everything else. Matt's story shows what happens when leadership takes workforce development seriously. From his early days as a 10-person shop owner watching competitors poach his talent, to becoming a two-time Top Shops winner recognized for HR and culture, Matt has built a system for attracting, training, and retaining the kind of people who make growth possible. We dive deep into JD Machine's unique approach to workforce development: Department of Labor-approved apprenticeship programs, high school counselor outreach, profit-sharing models, mentorship incentives, and cultural rituals like celebrating apprenticeship completions with a “Masters Jacket.” The result? A company that not only keeps top talent but grows its own leaders from within. If you've ever wondered how to build a resilient shop culture where employees feel invested, customers trust your team, and growth becomes sustainable, this conversation delivers the blueprint. Matt shows that “winning” in manufacturing isn't just about throughput or margins—it's about building people who build the business. Segments (0:58) Introducing Matt Wardle of JD Machine: from 10 employees to a 210-person operation (4:30) Early lessons in retention and the shift from poaching talent to building a pipeline (7:44) Why you should register and see us at AMT's MTForecast (11:41) Community outreach: hosting school counselors, sponsoring robotics, and changing perceptions (17:10) Open houses, virtual field trips, and branding your shop to future employees (15:00) Mentorship structure, incentives for trainers, and celebrating completions with the “Masters Jacket” (19:20) Tracking the right metrics: turnover, reviews, skill increases, and retention as KPIs (22:58) Apprenticeship program design: 8,000 hours, Department of Labor approval, and clear pay raises (27:57) Grow your top and bottom line with CliftonLarsonAllen (28:32) How small shops can scale their workforce systems over time (30:18) Building your own curriculum: Tooling U, NTMA U, Titans of CNC, and customizing courses (31:50) Encouraging on-the-job learning during machine cycle times (34:10) Mentorship structure and incentives for experienced machinists training apprentices (36:05) Recruiting under-18 students through legislative partnerships and state risk management (37:52) How NTMA chapters create collaboration and make SkillsUSA more impactful (39:35) Balancing competitive pay with margins and long-term stability (43:58) Profit-sharing and open-book management to drive engagement and retention (44:44) Lessons learned from losing good employees and being proactive about retention (49:55) Matt's closing thoughts: people who align with your core values become your greatest asset (51:40) The countdown is on: See us at Top Shops 2025 in Charlotte, NC Resources mentioned on this episode JD Machine Connect with Matt on LinkedIn Why you should check out AMT's MTForecast Matt's episode on Machine Shop Mastery (all about culture) Grow your top and bottom line with CliftonLarsonAllen (CLA) The countdown is on: See us at Top Shops 2025 in Charlotte, NC (code MAK20 for 20% off) Connect With MakingChips www.MakingChips.com On Facebook On LinkedIn On Instagram On Twitter On YouTube

Every machine shop has a story—and Chad Schmidt has made it his mission to tell them. As a sales engineer + content creator, Chad blends his technical background with a passion for storytelling. He creates authentic shop tour videos that shine a spotlight on the people, culture, and values driving the manufacturing industry. His YouTube channel has quickly gained traction, giving machinists and shop owners a platform to showcase their work in an honest and unpolished—but deeply engaging—format. In this episode of MakingChips, Chad shares his journey from tool rep to filmmaker and how a pandemic-era discovery of shop tour videos sparked his creative pursuit. He opens up about the challenges of convincing shop owners to go on camera, the humility he sees in the most successful leaders, and the business trends shaping machine shops across the country. The conversation dives into everything from diversification and leadership mindsets to adopting new technology and empowering the next generation of machinists. Whether you're a seasoned shop owner or just starting out, Chad's perspective reveals why authenticity, culture, and a willingness to evolve are essential ingredients for long-term success in manufacturing. By capturing raw, human-centered stories, Chad isn't just documenting the industry—he's helping elevate it. Tune in to hear his take on where shops are thriving, where they're struggling, and what lessons every leader can take away from the tour videos that are inspiring thousands online.
