The D-Code Podcast

The D-Code Podcast Rev 1.8 (Featuring Petr Dvořák)

 The D-Code is thrilled to be joined by Petr Dvorak, most known on LinkedIn for his famous Red Headphones. (Sean regularly says Orange. Debate in the comments!) Petr firmly denies any sort of "celebrity status", but he'll admit the headphones are good for branding. ;)
Discussions range from why it is important to share mistakes publicly, what it means to be "Extremely Polish", a bit of education on European history, creating a working hardware prototype from first concept through each design phase, and of course, KiCAD. If you don't understand why someone professional would choose to use a free open-source product for a knowledge deep dive, listen to this one. Petr lays it out clearly, and we can confirm he is a consummate professional!

Join The D-Code (Daniel Stanphill, Elias Malfavon Jr., and Sean Kincaid) in discussion with TheConveyorCougar herself, Cathy Rinne of Flex-Line Automation, as she weighs in on what a long career actually provides in terms of industry knowledge. As Cathy says, "40 years experience really seems like a lot, right? But I can tell you guys it's like the majority of stuff is obsolete. It's not, it's not really 40 years of experience that matters. It's, it's really what's the last 40 days, what's the last 40 weeks? Because technology is changing that quickly..."Cathy also shares about the following and much more:Owning a business while living on a farm"Spiciness" in Cows - dairy vs beefWork/life balanceWorking with family and maintaining personal relationshipSocial media for business & being AuthenticNewest advances in AI - especially AI in RoboticsEnticing younger generations to Production Job MarketThe value of personal customer service - charter a jet to Nebraska much?!Special callouts that came up in conversation include: @AutomationLadies   @DrewCrowe_MFG  What a fun conversation we had.
