Show Notes
Andrew and Jay dive into the art of optimization, from shaving seconds off CNC cycles to teaching kids the power of one-piece flow. Andrew shares how tuning a Brother machine saved 13 hours across a 5,000-part run and reflects on when optimization really pays off. The two discuss lean principles in action, shop tours, and the balance between efficiency and creativity before discussing the value of fractional expertise. From hiring a CPA who acts like a dashboard of financial sensors to bringing in part-time specialists who reveal blind spots and move the needle in tens of thousands, they show how smart leaders multiply impact by paying for precision, not guesswork. Along the way, they trade golf analogies, business lessons, and more.
