Joe Hackman Returns to Podcasting

Welcome back to the digital workshop! After a hiatus, I’m excited to return to podcasting with a renewed focus and fresh perspective on the topics that matter most in our rapidly evolving technological landscape.

What’s Changed

During my time away from podcasting, I’ve been deep in the trenches of smart manufacturing at Managed Solutions, and more recently digging as deep as I can into the AI and AI assisted programming world. I’ve also kept my endless need to converse building collaborative global communities such as CIMCO Solution Providers, and advanced manufacturing practitioners via a Gemba Chat group. These are now converging to encompass an AI focus as well, which I am eager to expand with the podcast.

The New Focus Areas

  • My Gemba Community
  • Re-shoring and strategic manufacturing
  • Insights around CIMCO Software and Edge Technology

🔧 Creativity and Invention

  • Hands-on creation and prototyping

  • Electronics projects
  • Building things that solve real problems

🚀 Personal Growth

  • Continuous learning and skill development
  • Work-life balance and finding inspiration
