About Todd Schnick
Well put: we have many Vision Statements but how those translate to effectively delivering ‘Ideal’ daily operations is a challenge!
Thank you to The Todds & Karin for the message “The Industry & Media must alter their language from – obstacles. & problems – to Opportunities & Possibllities”
True: Young people are not difficult to inspire –
In fact: they are profoundly optimistic !
They deserve to have a world which directs guides & promotes the ‘Excellence’ potential in each of us & manufacturing plays a ‘Huge Role’ in being the vehicle for an enriched life!
Great speaker and very informative.
You might say I’m an early adopter of Karin Lindner’s message. After reading her book I found my passion for manufacturing rekindled. This interview is good, and there is much more in her book. In particular I picked up on her comments here about educating the parents about the opportunities in manufacturing. Very true, and a big task too.
rick, this entire show is about rekindling passion for manufacturing, but karin’s message did a lot for todd and myself… thanks for listening!
This is a great interview! I completely agree with Karin!
Thank you Charli. I am glad you enjoyed the interview. I had so much fun!
