Lean Built: Manufacturing Freedom

Jay and Andrew kick off with a quick story about “the yips” — that sudden moment when everything you know just disappears — and use it to launch into a deeper discussion about what makes great shops tick.

They unpack why even pros break down under pressure, how systems and habits keep you grounded, and why finishing what you start matters more than chasing shiny new projects. From compressor failures to confusing control panels to the “95% Rule,” this episode is packed with real shop-floor lessons on leadership, lean thinking, and culture.
