In this episode of Innovation Meets Leadership, host Natalie Born welcomes back Ron Crabtree—founder and CEO of MetaOps and MetaExperts, global process improvement leader, and one of the most respected voices in Lean and operational excellence. This conversation takes a deep dive into value stream mapping, a powerful visual methodology that helps leaders uncover hidden inefficiencies, reduce cycle time, improve quality, and identify the smartest opportunities for digitization and AI.If you want a clearer view of where your business is wasting time, losing money, or missing value, this episode is your blueprint.[00:00 – 03:00] Why Value Stream Mapping Still MattersRon returns to discuss deeper layers of process improvement and Lean thinking.Deming's foundational principle: If you can't describe your work as a process, you don't know what you're doing.Value stream mapping as a visual + data-driven methodology to understand workflow end-to-end.[03:01 – 07:00] Defining the Mission: What Problem Are We Solving For?Understanding the organizational challenge: cost, quality, speed, or customer experience.Toyota's SQDCMP hierarchy (Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost, Productivity, Morale).Selecting the scope and granularity of a mapping effort based on the business challenge.[07:01 – 10:00] Where Digitization and AI Fit InWhy not all automation opportunities are equally valuable.Using value stream mapping to identify high-ROI areas for digitization and AI.[10:01 – 14:00] Beyond Manufacturing: Value Stream Mapping for Any IndustryHow even non-technical environments—like historical sites—benefit from mapping their visitor and customer journey.[14:01 – 17:00] Swim Lanes, Roles & the Hidden Complexity in HR ProcessesUsing swim lane diagrams to visualize handoffs, approvals, and compliance requirements.A real-world hiring example showing a six-month cycle time inside a government agency.[17:01 – 20:00] The Power of Hard Numbers in Decision MakingWhy mapping requires both visuals and data to measure true performance.Ron's example from a defined benefits company: identifying the percentage of time spent on rework, verification, and corrections.[20:01 – 23:00] When Processes Are Physically InefficientHow spaghetti diagrams expose unnecessary movement, travel time, and equipment downtime.Distinguishing internal vs. external activities to reduce waste during machine setup or maintenance.[23:01 – 26:00] The University Email Story: From 17 Steps to ZeroA university's onboarding process involved 17 steps and two weeks of delays.A powerful demonstration of innovation + efficiency working hand in hand.[26:01 – 27:00] Efficiency vs. Innovation: Why Leaders Need BothMany companies over-index on either efficiency or innovation—but not both.Understanding your value stream helps leaders see where inefficiencies hinder innovation.Ron shares where listeners can find his work, his podcast, and how to connect.Quotes“If you can't describe what you're doing as a process, you don't know what you're doing.” – Ron Crabtree“Value stream mapping helps you see where to apply digitization and AI with laser focus.” – Ron CrabtreeConnect with Ron CrabtreeWebsite: metaexperts.comLinkedIn: Ron Crabtree, MetaOps & MetaExpertsPodcast: MetaExperts Workforce ExcellenceIf this conversation inspired you, leave a review and share this episode with a leader who's ready to rethink how their organization creates value.
Entramos directo en uno de los deportivos más icónicos de Toyota: el Toyota MR2, un modelo único en su segmento por combinar precio accesible y motor central. Junto a Alejandro Moya, analizamos las tres generaciones —AW11, SW20 y ZZW30— repasando su evolución técnica, diseño, público y el impacto que dejaron en la cultura del automóvil. En la sección explicamos cómo nació el primer MR2 AW11, un coche ligero, ágil y sorprendentemente avanzado para su época, disponible incluso con una rara versión supercharged. Después exploramos el salto a la segunda generación, el SW20, más grande, más potente y famoso por sus versiones turbo de más de 200 CV, así como por su comportamiento exigente al límite que le valió el apodo de “mini Ferrari”. Por último analizamos el ZZW30, el MR2 más purista: un roadster extremadamente ligero, pensado para el disfrute y la precisión. Su final en 2007 cerró una de las sagas más especiales de Toyota. AutoScout24 aporta contexto de mercado, modelos actualmente disponibles y tendencias del segmento de deportivos clásicos asequibles.

Toyota debuts the GR GT for the road and a GR GT3 race variant — Plus: Lando Norris clinches the Formula One championship, Automotive News columnist Larry Vellequette joins the show, and we dig into great tool deals and dashcam recommendations. Also in the episode: a full review of the 2026 Chevrolet Trax, practical car‑care Q&A (waxing and battery care), safety tech highlights, and tips for buying value-packed gear. Buckle up for a fast-paced hour!
This week on America on the Road, guest co-host Matt DeLorenzo joins Jack Nerad as they look at a packed slate of automotive news, two major road tests, and a special design-focused interview. Jack drives the range-topping 2026 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy, while Matt reviews the redesigned 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan, a compact SUV with more power, more tech, and a more refined cabin than ever before. Jack also sits down with Ian Cartabiano, President of Calty Design, to talk about Toyota's long-running design studio, its newest work, and how design thinking translates into the next generation of vehicles.
Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com opens with John Rush challenging listeners to rethink what truly matters as Christmas approaches: Are we clinging to gifts no one remembers, or to experiences no one forgets? But the hour quickly shifts from holiday wisdom to political reality as John delivers a bold, unfiltered prediction about Colorado's GOP governor's race. With more than 20 Republican candidates scrambling for attention, he asks the unavoidable question: Is the party sabotaging itself before the race even begins? John warns that infighting, ego-driven campaigns, and even suspected political “plants” could doom conservatives in 2026 unless unity happens early—something he doubts will occur. He then dives into Colorado's cooling economy, exposing the impact of skyrocketing regulations, natural-gas restrictions, and costly mandates that he says the media refuses to acknowledge. Why does Governor Polis blame tariffs and interest rates instead of his own policies? And what hidden change nearly eliminated Denver's famous brown cloud? Hour 1 is part political thriller, part economic wake-up call—packed with provocative insights you won't hear anywhere else. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason revs up with special guest Ray Shefska, CEO of CarEdge (https://caredge.com), for a sharp, insider breakdown of one of the most significant shifts in the auto industry: the administration's newly relaxed CAFE standards. What will the loser fuel-efficiency rules mean for consumers, dealers, and the future of affordable cars? Ray reveals why the market has fewer budget-friendly vehicles than ever—and why envy, not necessity, is driving Americans into $55,000 cars with $750 monthly payments. John and Ray then expose how automakers fumbled the rollout of EVs, relying on government incentives instead of actually selling the features and benefits. Are manufacturers now scrambling to salvage billions in electric-vehicle investment? And will Toyota's hybrid-first strategy turn out to be the stroke of genius everyone else missed? The second half of the hour turns electric in a different way, as John battles misconceptions about EV road taxes and digs into a high-profile Highlands Ranch garage fire. Was it the EV, the charger, or something entirely unrelated? Listeners are left questioning how quickly we jump to conclusions—and how often we get the facts wrong. HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason takes a surprising and thoughtful turn as Patrick Payton—former mayor of Midland, Texas, longtime pastor, leadership consultant, and presidential leadership scholar—joins John for a powerful conversation about division, persuasion, and the lost art of human respect. Why can rival football fans shake hands after a brutal game, yet families can't make it through Christmas dinner without political warfare? Patrick shares insights from his new book, The Middle: How the Quiet Majority Can Mend a Divided Nation, explaining how both extremes—left and right—use fear, manipulation, and “otherizing” to control people. He offers practical strategies for navigating tense family gatherings, redirecting conflict, and approaching political disagreements with humility, patience, and genuine curiosity. After Patrick signs off, John turns to a viral claim that Trump voters should be legally forced to wear MAGA hats—raising an uncomfortable question: Are modern activists resurrecting tactics that eerily echo history's darkest movements? The conversation closes with John exposing how Agenda 21–style policies and rising Marxist rhetoric are creeping into Colorado politics, leaving listeners to ask: Are we still protecting freedom, or silently giving it away?

Arrancamos con la referencia a un vídeo viral en Instagram de AutoFM sobre siniestralidad de motoristas y estado de las carreteras (baches, guardarraíles). Mensaje central: parte de las caídas y lesiones se deben a infraestructuras deficientes; “muchas carreteras son ilegales” por incumplir estándares. Dónde está José y por qué • En el Congreso Internacional de Investigación de Accidentes de Tráfico organizado por CESVIMAP (grupo MAPFRE). • Objetivo: impulsar en España una cultura de investigación técnica de siniestros, no solo de atribución de responsabilidades. Estructura del congreso (3 jornadas) • Día 1 (ensayos en CESVIMAP): o Crash test 1 en pista cerrada. o Crash test 2 en exterior, alcance a 40 km/h con un coche teledirigido contra otro vehículo; todo perimetrado y con medidas de seguridad. o Demostraciones de ADAS. • Día 2 (jornada técnica, Palacio de Congresos): o ~25 ponentes; inicio sobre las 08:00. o Ponencias de Fuerzas y Cuerpos de Seguridad, fiscales, investigadores independientes y Toyota. o Toyota presenta solución propia complementaria al EDR para registrar variables (acelerador, freno, volante, etc.) cuando el impacto no alcanza umbral de disparo del EDR (que registra aprox. 5 s antes y 5 s después). Se ilustran dos casos reales (uno incidente y otro accidente). • Día 3 (avances previstos): o Presentación de gemelos digitales de los dos crash tests físicos, con comparativa entre un vehículo 100% eléctrico y otro convencional en calidad/volumen de datos y comportamiento. Tecnología y dato • Recordatorio: la UE obliga a equipar EDR en vehículos recientes; las FFCCSSE pueden acceder vía OBD para leer telemetría del evento (5 s ± del impacto). • El valor del dato complementario (p. ej., soluciones de fabricante) permite reconstrucciones más fieles cuando el EDR no se activa. Diagnóstico sobre investigación en España • Crítica central: el sistema solo busca responsables (civil/penal) y no impulsa una investigación técnica independiente “tipo aviación/ferroviario/marítimo” para extraer lecciones e implantar medidas preventivas. • Déficits públicos: o FFCCSSE: insuficiencia de medios y formación; buena parte de la capacitación de policías locales depende de su voluntad personal, vacaciones e inversión propia. o Empresas privadas: en España hay 3–4 gabinetes punteros internacionalmente que sí invierten y trabajan con alto rigor técnico. • Propuesta: aplicar el modelo de investigación de aviación a la seguridad vial reduciría la mortalidad y obligaría a mejorar infraestructuras. Infraestructura viaria • Mención a informes de la Asociación Española de la Carretera: o Déficit de inversión en mantenimiento de miles de millones de euros. o >50% de los kilómetros de la red presentan defectos graves. • Consecuencia: impacto directo en heridos y fallecidos. Didáctica del crash test de moto (40 km/h) • La gravedad del daño depende de la deceleración (pasar de 40 km/h a 0 en milisegundos), no solo de la velocidad nominal. • Por geometría de la colisión, el casco puede impactar contra el pilar A (objeto rígido), con picos de deceleración altos en cabeza, más un segundo impacto contra el suelo. • Ver y “sentir” un crash test (ruido, cámaras de alta velocidad) ayuda a tomar conciencia de la severidad real. Próximos contenidos ligados al congreso • Podcast especial “El pulso del Congreso de Investigación de Accidentes de Tráfico”: 3 horas de repaso auditivo con entrevistas (publicación prevista en próximos días). • Cobertura adicional en AutoFM y YouTube con detalle de los ensayos y resultados de gemelos digitales. • España necesita investigación técnica sistemática de siniestros, además de la penal/civil. • Dato de calidad + tecnología (EDR y registros ampliados) + mejora de vías = palancas para reducir víctimas. • El congreso de CESVIMAP está empujando en esa dirección con demostraciones reales, análisis y colaboración multi-actor.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1216: Today we dig into the tightening-but-shifting new-car inventory landscape, explore Nissan's bold attempt to rediscover its “North Star”, and watch Target leapfrog competitors by baking full-on AI shopping directly into ChatGPT.Show Notes with links:November brought a slight dip in overall new-vehicle inventory, but the real headline for dealers is how quickly anything under $25K is evaporating from lots—and how quickly EV days' supply is rising. Here's the breakdown:U.S. new-vehicle inventory fell 1.6% to 3.09M units, but days' supply ticked up from 70 to 73.Sub-$25K vehicles are practically mythical—spending 1.5 days on lots.EV supply ballooned from 107 to 126 daysHybrids sit at a 60-day supply, ICE vehicles at 75 days; minivans remain leanest at 58 days.Toyota continues to run the tightest ship in the industry with 31 days of supply.Christian Meunier isn't pulling punches—Nissan has been drifting for years, and he says the U.S. turnaround now depends on sharper execution, stronger product, and yes…better dealer performance.Meunier says Nissan had “no North star, no vision and no direction,” prompting him to bring headquarters staff back in-office four days a week to accelerate decisions and rebuild momentum.U.S. sales have fallen 40% in a decade, market share is down to 6.4%, and heavy discounting has trained shoppers to view Nissan as “the cheap one.”Nissan needs at least 7–8% retail share to support its 1,067 U.S. stores, and if the brand can't lift demand, fewer dealers may be necessary.“Christian is the right man for the job. It's just a hard job,” said dealer council lead Mike Rezi.Target is jumping headfirst into AI commerce by embedding its shopping experience directly into ChatGPT, building on OpenAI's growing presence in e-commerce with Shopify and Etsy integrations.Users can search, add to cart, and check out via ChatGPT using their Target account.The integration supports drive-thru and pickup orders within the chat interface.This move mirrors Walmart's AI ambitions, but Target is first to market with a confirmed rollout.“Target is a great example of what that shift looks like when it's done with ambition and speed,” said Fidji Simo, OpenAI CEO of Applications.Thank you to today's sponsor, Mia.

It's finally that time of year! That time when the months get colder, that time when you gather with your loved ones, and that time when you can get great savings at your local Toyota dealership! This week, Alec is teaching Aidan, Cooper, and Greg the true meaning of Toyotathon with some tantalizing Toyota trivia. Let's go places!
In this engaging conversation, the hosts share personal stories, discuss their current watch collections, and delve into the world of bourbon. They explore various bourbon recommendations for the holiday season, touching on entry-level options, mid-range selections, and high-end choices. The discussion also highlights the complexities of liquor laws in ABC states compared to licensed states, providing insights into the challenges of finding certain bourbons. The conversation is filled with humor, camaraderie, and reflections on personal experiences with alcohol. In this conversation, the hosts delve into various topics ranging from personal choices regarding alcohol consumption to the appreciation of coffee and bourbon. They discuss the effects of caffeine on appetite and the future of electric vehicles, particularly focusing on sound design and the innovations being made by companies like Toyota. The conversation wraps up with insights into Toyota's new racing ambitions and the potential impact of these developments on the automotive industry.
The blog postDwayne “The Rock” Johnson once joked that his incredible physical transformation came from one simple routine: working out six hours a day, every day, for twenty years. In this episode, Mark explores why that line from Central Intelligence mirrors how organizations misunderstand Lean. Many admire the “after” picture of Toyota, ThedaCare, or Franciscan St. Francis Health, but far fewer commit to the steady, everyday habits that make those results possible.This short reflection looks at the gap between wanting improvement and practicing it, the risks of “instant pudding” thinking, and what real diligence looks like in organizations that sustain progress year after year. Continuous improvement doesn't require six hours a day—but it does require showing up, consistently, over time.
Join Spike and Zuckerman as they dive into automotive news, car reviews, and industry drama. Highlights include Spike's honest take on the new BMW M4 CS and Ferrari Testarossa, Waymo's questionable safety record, and a raccoon who broke into a liquor store and got wasted. ______________________________________________
Rick Pedersen, owner of Old Norse Consulting, joined host Jamie Flinchbaugh to explore why product development demands a fundamentally different approach to problem-solving than traditional business processes. During their conversation, Rick explained that while most business functions involve transactional processes that can be documented and repeated, product development centers on building knowledge to solve problems that have never been encountered before. Rick draws a clear distinction between information gathering and genuine knowledge gaps. He explains that a true knowledge gap exists when answers cannot simply be looked up or obtained from an expert. Instead, teams must invest time and resources in building prototypes, running tests, or conducting simulations to create new knowledge. Rick advises teams facing uncertainty to document potential knowledge gaps quickly, then filter them to determine which require actual investigation versus simple research. The conversation revealed how knowledge creation serves as the lifeblood of product development, much like flow serves manufacturing. He emphasizes that the real value in product development comes from creating new knowledge and making it reusable. He compares this to compound interest, where teams that fail to document their discoveries essentially discard their gains rather than letting them accumulate over time. This results in organizations repeatedly solving the same problems across different projects, representing significant waste. Rick advocates for a shift from traditional task-oriented project management to organizing work around knowledge gaps. Rather than focusing solely on completing action items, teams should orient their efforts around closing knowledge gaps through what he calls fast learning loops or fast learning cycles. This approach helps teams understand why they are performing tasks and keeps the focus on building knowledge that enables better decisions. When discussing learning from industry leaders like Toyota, Rick cautions against simply copying their systems. He stresses the importance of understanding the thinking behind why successful companies use specific tools and behaviors, then adapting those principles to each organization's unique situation. He recommends starting small, selecting one or two pilot projects where teams can experiment with new methods while receiving coaching along the way. Rick recently launched the LPPD Bootcamp, an immersive workshop designed to accelerate learning about product development principles. He explains that the workshop addresses a fundamental challenge in product development: the years-long timeframe makes it difficult to see results and adjust quickly. The bootcamp compresses an entire product development cycle into less than a week, allowing participants to experience how different improvements interact and deliver benefits. The environment also helps teams practice cross-functional collaboration and establish shared reference points they can draw upon when working on real projects. Throughout the conversation, Rick emphasized that successful product development requires teams to recognize knowledge gaps, invest in closing them systematically, and capture what they learn for future reuse.

This episode explores a powerful but often overlooked truth in construction: your performance is only as strong as the partners and suppliers who support you. Jason shares insights from Toyota and examples from modern construction teams to show how great companies don't just demand excellence from their vendors, they help create it. By training, supporting, and collaborating with partners, leaders build a unified system where everyone wins together. If you want a healthier, more reliable, and more predictable project environment, this episode will reshape how you view your supply chain relationships. What you'll learn in this episode: Why the most effective companies invest time developing their partners and suppliers, not just monitoring them. How Toyota's approach to vendor collaboration creates high reliability, consistent quality, and predictable delivery. Why construction leaders should train, support, and educate trade partners just as intentionally as their internal teams. How open-door collaboration builds unity and eliminates the "us versus them" mentality on projects. What it looks like when owners and GCs truly work shoulder to shoulder with trade partners to elevate performance. If your success depends on your partners, what would change if you treated their growth and stability as a direct extension of your own?

Ed Olson, Founder & CEO of May Mobility joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss how autonomous vehicles can eliminate the "rideshare lottery", the inconsistent, variable experience of traditional rideshare by deploying fleet-managed robotaxis that offer a predictable, premium service.While the industry often focuses on vertical integration, May Mobility is executing an asset-light strategy focused on partnerships with Toyota, Uber, Lyft, and Grab to augment, rather than replace, existing networks. To help these networks scale efficiently, May Mobility is prioritizing hybrid vehicles to maximize asset utilization, effectively bypassing the downtime and infrastructure costs associated with EV charging.Episode Chapters0:00 May Mobility Expands to Asia with Grab 1:54 May Mobility's Partner & Deployment Strategy 4:43 Weather & Culture 12:48 Service Areas & Vehicles 19:12 The Hybrid Decision 22:15 Vehicle Platforms 25:15 On-Board Compute29:07 Deploying Robotaxis at Scale32:23 May Mobility Playbook38:26 Autonomy is Growing45:22 Next Year Recorded on Tuesday, November 25, 2025--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

Learn how these manufacturers eliminated hours of wasted time by unifying data from fragmented systems using MQTT Sparkplug, with Toyota leveraging Inductive Automation's Ignition platform and MTNA deploying Opto22's groovRIO, and both proving the value of their low-cost approach before scaling enterprise-wide.
WWJ auto analyst John McElroy reports the layout of a new sports car from Toyota, the GR GT, is very similar to the Corvette.
The smell of fresh wax, the rumble of arrivals, and a table full of hot takes—our live remote at Gulf Coast Auto Shield pulls you straight into car culture. We kick off with a clear-eyed look at November's sales story: Hyundai dips, Kia climbs, inventory loosens to a 64‑day supply, and hybrids keep humming while EV demand wobbles with changing incentives. That sets the stage for what drivers actually feel on the ground: access, reliability, and the difference between spec sheets and street reality.Nothing gets more real than trying to charge an EV and finding every solution blocked. We walk through a week of charging drama—Tesla‑standard plugs, restricted dealership chargers, public stations reserved by policy or simply clogged by rental fleets—and what it reveals about infrastructure etiquette, operator rules, and the urgent need for better enforcement. Standardized connectors are a win, but adoption hinges on consistent access, uptime, and simple on‑site logic that respects drivers' time.We shift gears into community and performance. Tailpipes & Tacos returns with a toy drive, free breakfast tacos, and a kids' pedal car show, proving that local meets might be the industry's best ambassadors. The Houston Auto Show follows with a holiday BOGO ticket deal and a chance to explore new models without pressure. On the performance front, Stellantis reignites muscle with the gasoline‑powered Dodge Charger Six‑Pack, a straight‑six pumping 550 horsepower, while Cadillac's looming F1 debut adds a fresh storyline to the racing calendar. We round out with Consumer Reports' reliability rankings—Toyota retakes the crown, Subaru and Lexus close behind—and a tour through auto history from Studebaker to Corvair and Jeep's global Compass, topped with shop‑floor memories of body‑by‑Fisher craft.Join us for the mix that keeps enthusiasts hooked: market insight, hands‑on EV lessons, racing heat, reliability you can bank on, and events that welcome everyone. If you're in Houston, bring an unwrapped toy, grab a taco, and say hi. Prefer to ride along from home?

The blog postIn this episode, Mark Graban flips roles and becomes the guest—answering five core Lean questions posed by longtime Lean thinker Tim McMahon of the A Lean Journey blog. These questions have been answered by many practitioners over the years, and they cut straight to the purpose, the misconceptions, and the future of Lean.Mark shares how he first encountered Lean as an industrial engineering student, and how the system came alive when he worked inside the GM Livonia Engine Plant under a NUMMI-trained plant manager. That contrast, and the mentoring from former Toyota and Nissan leaders, shaped his views on what Lean really is: a management system rooted in respect, not a collection of tools.He discusses the most powerful (and most overlooked) aspects of Lean today, including the central role of psychological safety and why tools fail without the right leadership behaviors. Mark also explores where he sees the biggest opportunity for Lean—particularly in healthcare, where preventable harm, burnout, and broken processes remain stubbornly persistent.The conversation closes with why these foundational questions still matter. Lean evolves as we learn, and the answers shift as our experiences expand. Mark reflects on how continuous improvement requires an environment where people feel safe to speak up, experiment, and improve their work every day.If you're interested in the human side of Lean, how culture and leadership shape results, and where Lean thinking needs to go next, this episode offers a grounded and candid perspective.
David Randolph Scott is an alleged predator that was caught in a Blount County, Alabama investigation of Takedown with Chris Hansen. At the time of the sting, Scott had been living in Adamsville, Alabama with his wife. He also had two children, one 35 and one 38. Blount County Sheriff Mark Moon said that Scott did not have a criminal record. Scott worked as a Toyota car salesman but was described as being "semi-retired" at the time. Scott had been communicating with a decoy posing as a fifteen-year-old girl. He agreed to pay the girl $50 for a blowjob. Scott arrived to the sting house, but quickly turned around and drove off. A few minutes later, he returned to the house and parked in the drive way, greeting the decoy at the door. Once Chris came around the corner, Scott attempted to flee out the front door but was quickly apprehended by deputies. While being handcuffed, Scott stated that he was only "coming to visit." He denied ever meeting anyone online for sex in the past, despite his previous charge for soliciting prostitution. Scott did admit to knowing the decoy's age and requesting a blowjob from her, but claimed that he changed his mind.

Earlier this year, I enjoyed a delicious lunch in Mexico City with Luis Lozano, the former CEO of Toyota de Mexico. Luis immediately impressed me with his knowledge of the Mexican car market, the shock of hundreds of thousands of Chinese imports since 2020 and the possibilities that Chinese automakers will try to make Mexico a production base for exports to the United States. One of his goals, Luis told me, was to open American eyes to the current realities of Chinese cars. They are good value for money, they are coming our way. And they are not turning back. So, which companies are ones to watch? Are they going to build plants in Mexico as they have done in Brazil, Spain and Thailand? How soon? In today's conversation we get answers to those questions here on the Driving With Dunne podcast.
Is AI the secret sauce that lets the West deglobalize supply chains and bring factories back home?In this episode of TechFirst, I talk with Federico Martelli, CEO and cofounder of Forgis, a Swiss startup building an industrial intelligence layer for factories. Forgis runs “digital engineers” — AI agents on the edge — that sit on top of legacy machinery, cut downtime by about 30%, and boost production by roughly 20%, without ripping and replacing old hardware.We dive into how AI agents can turn brainless factory lines into adaptive, self-optimizing systems, and what that means for reshoring production to Europe and North America.In this episode, we cover:• Why intelligence is the next geopolitical frontier• How AI agents can reshore manufacturing without making it more expensive• Turning old, offline machines into data-driven, optimized systems• The two-layer model: integration first, vertical intelligence second• Why most manufacturing AI projects fail at integration, not algorithms• How Forgis raised $4.5M in 36 hours and chose its lead investor• Lean manufacturing 2.0: adding real-time data and AI to Toyota-style processes• Why operators stay in the loop (and why full autonomy is a bad idea… for now)• Rebuilding industrial ecosystems in Europe and North America, industry by industry• What Forgis builds next with its pre-seed round and where industrial AI is headedGuest:

Grandmothers shape us in ways we rarely stop to acknowledge — emotionally, culturally, and even biologically. In this powerful episode, Haidy Leal joins me to explore the science, stories, and generational impact of the women who came before us. From epigenetics (yes, our grandmothers' experiences can influence our biology!) to cultural identity, resilience, and the rising issue of social isolation among older adults, this conversation opens a new understanding of the silent forces guiding every generation. We also dive into: Haidy's grandmother as an Olympic swimmer Ana's financial lessons from her abuelita Jacinta A great-great-grandmother recognized by the White House and invited to dine with Eleanor Roosevelt How feminism is affecting women more than we think The sad reality facing many elderly adults today How our grandmothers shaped us even more than our own parents If you love deep conversations, personal stories, and science that hits home, this episode will feel like a warm hug from your abuela.

Consumer Reports' latest reliability findings are in, we share which brands deliver the most reliable cars, trucks, and SUVs in 2026—based on comprehensive survey data from hundreds of thousands of CR members. We break down how major automakers, including Toyota, Tesla, Subaru, Rivian, BMW, Mazda, and Honda, compare; how EVs and plug-in hybrids stack up against traditional gas models; which used cars offer the most dependable performance; and whether luxury brands truly provide an advantage over their mainstream counterparts. We also address why some automakers place the gas cap on the passenger side of their vehicles and offer advice on simple maintenance tasks you can perform yourself to help reduce car-related expenses.

Are you waiting for your company to "notice" you, fix your crew, and make your job easier? Spoiler: no one is coming but that's actually the best news you'll hear today. In this episode, Jason rapid-fires through a stack of notes he's been saving: Why you (not HR, not your boss) own your career path and how to take control of it today. The "lazy coworker" nicknames list (cordless, ET, KitKat, seaweed, wheelbarrow…) and the real root causes behind those behaviors. Why safety posters about "you" being responsible completely miss the mark for leaders and what your actual duty is to your people. The 1935 Toyota precepts that still quietly run great companies and projects almost 100 years later. If you want to stop drifting, start leading, and build a career and culture you're proud of, this one's for you.
