In our 100th episode special, we take listener questions including:
- How to retain capital and make smart reinvestment decisions
- Life expectancy of CNC machines and why not to be a machine collector
- The blessing (and curse) of early adoption
- What really sparked our motivation to make our own products
- How we each implemented Lean without killing morale
- Raising kids while running a shop—and how to inspire the next generation of makers
- A look behind the curtain at our most game-changing lean hacks, and what we’ve “borrowed” from each other
- Why you don’t need a business plan to start—and what matters more
Whether you’re new to the Lean Built community or you’ve been with us from episode 1, thank you for listening. Here’s to 100 more episodes of building freedom—one lean improvement at a time.
