Base Camp

Join us at base camp as Jon Kallen builds a mountain for us to climb. We lean into the pain and carry our own gear with stories from Aconcagua, Denali, Kilimanjaro, and more high altitudes worldwide. When he’s not craving gummy worms on snow capped peaks above the clouds, this impactful leader mentors founders commercializing business strategies. We reflect on this leadership alongside our closing message to the mountains.

Make Better Things

Manufacturing and business geek, Mike O’Donnell is inside Iowa State University. He leads the Center for Industrial Research and Service (CIRAS), which helps small- to medium-sized industry compete and win in the modern world. EP76 is light and fun, but rich in now value. Manufacturing is the largest industry in Iowa. We talk manufacturing types, environmental complexities, manufacturing 4.0, exoskeletons, talent matching, and future effeciencies.

If manufacturing means something to you, if you’re building a physical product, if you need resources to keep building, this is an excellent listen.
