Description

A recent EF2 tornado brushes past Andrew’s church and shop, prompting a frank conversation with Jay about what it takes to run a manufacturing business when the weather—and the insurance coverage—is uncertain. They compare real experiences with unexpected policy gaps, weak agents, and the slow process of building a trustworthy support network.


The conversation then moves to leveraging lights-out machining and pallet pool workarounds. Andrew also shares how his team is adapting to new production challenges and experimenting with lean hardware fixes.
