We’re closing out 2025 by spotlighting the leaders who aren’t just talking about the future of manufacturing—they’re building it in real time.
This wrap-up episode features five voices who are rewriting what modern leadership on the shop floor actually looks like today—and where it's headed.
Hear from five industry leaders, Adam Gordon, Daniel Anglemyer, Rebekah Colligan, Eric Van Orden, and Randall Leac—leaders who are rebuilding culture, elevating teams, and using data as a competitive edge instead of a quarterly report.
Each guest shares their take on accountability, continuous improvement, and what happens when you care more about progress than hierarchy.
Forget the old command-and-control playbook. This crew proves that when people and processes are prioritized, and information flows freely, everything else starts to accelerate.
