American manufacturing of aircraft during WWII dwarfed that of its enemies. By the end of the war, an American assembly line was producing a B-24 bomber in less than an hour. But that success was far from inevitable. Structural engineer and writer Brian Potter speaks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about the logistical challenges of ramping up production from virtually nothing, and the incredible balance of precision and improvisation required to respond to constantly changing aircraft designs. They also discuss the limits of industrial mobilization, why early preparation proved so critical, the role of women in the production process, and what lessons this experience can offer today's debates about supply chains and defense readiness.

In this episode of Poised for Exit, we are joined by Erik Gabrielson, co-founder of ProjectWe. Erik returns to the show to share how his firm is helping business owners and professional services leaders navigate one of the most disruptive forces of our time: artificial intelligence. The conversation begins with Erik's own journey of adopting AI in early 2023, when he and his team recognized its potential to transform not only their business, but also the way their clients operate.Together, Erik and Julie explore the opportunities and challenges of integrating AI into exit planning and business strategy. One of the biggest takeaways is that the real risk isn't choosing the wrong AI tools - it's avoiding the conversation altogether. Too many companies treat AI like just another software plug-in, and that's why implementations stall. Erik explains why success starts with people, trust, and careful planning, and how shifting your mindset to see AI as a teammate can unlock far greater potential.They also talk about how AI can take knowledge that usually lives with one owner and turn it into shared knowledge that strengthens the whole company. Relying too heavily on one person creates risk, but integrating AI can help reduce that dependency, and businesses that resist adoption may find themselves vulnerable when it comes to valuation.As the conversation unfolds, Julie and Erik share their collaboration on a new AI-powered application for exit planning, designed to help advisors scale their work, support more owners, and drive better outcomes.This episode is a must-listen for advisors and business owners who want to stay ahead of the curve and position themselves for long-term success.Curious where your business stands?

Welcome back to Groove with Portia.Today, I sit down with Maggie Inrig, the Vice President of Innovation and Operations at Peer On Call, a digital mental wellness platform built around the power of peer connection.We open by sharing what we're both grateful for—me, for the gift of life after a near-death experience, and Maggie, for her health. The episode takes a thoughtful turn as we talk about grief—not just personal loss, but the hidden griefs that build up over time in high-pressure workplaces.I open up about the third anniversary of my mother's passing and how grief continues to be my greatest teacher. Maggie shares how Peer On Call was developed to support people in the workplace, especially those in high-stress professions like first responders and journalists. We discuss the importance of having options when it comes to mental wellness—because one size doesn't fit all.From anonymous peer support to educational resources, Peer On Call allows people to connect with others who've walked a similar path. Whether it's watching a short video or having a conversation with a trained peer, Maggie emphasizes the power of choice and the importance of removing barriers to help.We reflect on how traditional therapy isn't always the answer for everyone. Sometimes, you just need someone who gets it. Someone who's been there.Maggie also talks about how her team is using data to help organizations understand the trends in their workforce's mental wellness. And for those struggling with grief or burnout, she reminds us that healing can happen through the smallest moments—like a walk outside or sharing a story.We wrap the episode with a nod to our shared grief journeys, the power of storytelling, and the importance of creating spaces where people can show up as they are.This episode is for anyone navigating loss, burnout, or invisible weight at work.You're not alone—and there are people and platforms ready to meet you where you are.Learn about Peer On Call: https://steppedcaresolutions.com/peer-on-call/

Artificial intelligence is radically transforming the military—an institution grappling with an eligibility crisis at home. According to the Department of Defense, a mere 23% of Americans aged 17 to 24 qualify for military force without needing a waiver, meaning that 77% are currently ineligible due to factors like obesity, drug use, and mental or physical health issues. This stark reality intensifies the urgency for smarter, data-driven solutions: AI-driven analytics that can refine recruiting strategies, predict readiness, and help optimize both talent acquisition and human capital management.But how exactly can AI help the U.S. military win the “war for talent” while also modernizing its massive infrastructure? What lessons can private industry learn from the defense sector's adoption of AI-driven workforce strategies?In this episode of DisruptED, host Ron Stefanski sits down with Tyler Zagurski, Vice President of Talent at r4 Technologies and a retired U.S. Marine Corps colonel with 31 years of service. Together, they explore how artificial intelligence is being leveraged to transform both the workforce and the military force of the future. Their conversation spans from deeply personal origin stories to the broader technological and organizational revolutions happening today.Key Discussion Points:The shrinking pool of military-eligible talent: Fewer than one in four young Americans qualify to serve, making AI tools essential in identifying, attracting, and retaining candidates.AI-powered logistics and sustainment: Predictive analytics are being used to forecast asset readiness, prevent costly breakdowns, and optimize supply chains across global military operations.Human-centered decision intelligence: AI is not replacing military leaders but equipping them with better insights to retain talent, deploy personnel effectively, and maintain mission readiness.Tyler Zagurski is the Vice President of Talent at r4 Technologies, where he applies AI-driven solutions to defense and national security challenges. Before entering private industry, Zagurski served 31 years in the U.S. Marine Corps as an infantry officer, commanding units in combat and spearheading service-level transformation initiatives such as Talent Management 2030. A graduate of the U.S. Army War College, he has deep expertise in workforce modernization, logistics, and education strategy, making him a leading voice at the intersection of AI and military readiness.

In this optimistic yet practical assessment of how postsecondary education can evolve to meet the needs of next-generation learners, Kathleen deLaski reimagines what higher education might offer and whom it should serve. In the wake of declining enrollment and declining confidence in the value of a college degree, she urges a mindset shift regarding the learning routes and credentials that best prepare students for post-high-school success. Who Needs College Anymore draws on a decade of research from the Education Design Lab, and interviews of educational experts, college and career counselors, teachers, employers, and learners. Kathleen deLaski applies human-centered design to higher education reform. She highlights ten top principles based on user feedback and considers how well they are being enacted by colleges. She urges institutions to better attend to the needs of new-majority learners, including people from low- or moderate-income backgrounds, people of color, first-generation students, veterans, single mothers, rural students, part-time attendees, and neurodivergent students. She finds ample opportunity for colleges to support learners via alternative pathways to marketable knowledge, including skills-based learning, apprenticeships, career training, and other types of workplace learning. Our guest is: Kathleen deLaski, who spent twenty years as a journalist, including time as ABC News White House correspondent. In the second half of her career, she has focused on education reform, cofounding or founding nonprofits including the Education Design Lab. She is a senior advisor to the Project on Workforce at Harvard University, and is an adjunct professor at George Mason University. Our host is: Dr. Christina Gessler, who is a developmental editor for humanities scholars and social scientists at all stages of their careers.

The live CBJ Manufacturing Conference podcast brought together three leaders—Dawn Ealy, Steve Coleman, and Wendy Mihm-Herold—to map out strategies for addressing Iowa's looming workforce crisis. With 240,000 Baby Boomers set to retire by 2030, the conversation underscored the need for employers to proactively leverage automation, retain senior workers through flexible arrangements, and intentionally engage the next generation of Gen Z talent through workplace learning initiatives. This episode made clear that manufacturers cannot afford to choose one approach over another. Automation alone will not close the gap, nor will simply retaining retirees or hiring more Gen Z. Instead, success depends on a comprehensive, three-pronged strategy. The panel's message was unequivocal: all manufacturers must act now to invest in technology, people, and partnerships—or risk being left behind as the talent pipeline shrinks and demand continues to grow.

When the agtech is not working in the field, we can be quick to search for answers in the product itself. But sometimes, the solution is not there. That's because it's not a technical problem, but rather a social systems challenge.Kevin Boyle is the Director of Organizational and Workforce Development at the Equitable Food Initiative (EFI). He argues that a key component of the farming and food system is often overlooked; and that's the people who work on the ground. Farm workers can be seen as low-skilled, with little more to offer than the set tasks they perform. However, Kevin is seeking to change this approach, to better recognize the knowledge these workers have, and to create recognizable career paths for them.Kevin also believes that focusing on the workforce will ultimately benefit the development and adoption of agtech. He spent much of his career in telecommunication tech, where he helped integrate the new digital technologies of the 1990s into the system, including the workers.Sarah and Kevin discuss:·  Kevin's unique career background, from growing up on a farm, to working in telecommunications tech, and consulting across Europe and the United States.·  How the perception of farm workers as ‘tools' rather than humans with skills, knowledge, and desires has hindered tech adoption.·  How to better recognize the skills and knowledge of farm workers, to build high performance farming businesses·  How applied university research can be used to test a product in the broader system before it goes to market.Useful links:·  Can robotics solve the farm labor problem?
