This episode is all about the macro state of the manufacturing workforce. “If you don’t make stuff, there is no stuff.” – Elon Musk.
All of the stuff we rely on and enjoy needs to come from somewhere… and someone. Manufacturing might otherwise be called: people and machines making the stuff that enables other peoples’ and machines’ high level of capabilities, flourishing, and freedom.
In this conversation with Jake Hall, AKA ‘The Manufacturing Millennial’, we deep dive into his work using media to inspire young people to join the manufacturing industry. From working with small manufacturers to Fortune 100 companies, Jake creates awareness around automation and modernization, investing in skilled trades, and attracting the next generation workforce. The Manufacturing Millennial makes a powerful case for the future of manufacturing – and manufacturing careers – in the United States.
