“It is a phenomenal time to be alive!!!”1
I had the opportunity to catch up with Sandy Munro, an innovator in the lean design area. Sandy has so much profound knowledge to share, and a lot of stories…He recently came back from an 8,000 miles road trip driving from Detroit, MI to California and over to Brownsville, TX where he met with Elon Musk and then had to drive back home again. He met with innovators, entrepreneurs, Tesla Driver clubs and lots of other people (more on his epic road trip on his youtube channel Munrolive2).
We talked about the future of automotive - the death of the ICE3 age, and benchmark those seats in the Tesla!! What about hydrogen, will it be something for transportation - yes especially for VTOL4. I recall from a call with Sandy more or less a year ago, when he was quite gloomy about the future when the pandemic hit, but now just a few days ago he has even expanded his operations with a new building. In the podcast recording he is in his newly acquired facility. There will also be a youtube version of this episode.
So what is the most valuable commodity?
And what about manufacturing, where are we heading - will tradesmen be required or is everything going digital and automate.
What did Sandy tell high school kids???
A lot of businesses are going through the pains of ramping up production, the production or manufacturing hell period, all this can be avoided, like when he tells about the original Dodge Viper production (as an example, sorry my fault - I brought it up). And what about the future, what does Sandy think about the times?
I hope you enjoy listening to this episode, Sandy could have gone on talking for a couple of hours…
