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 But I can tell you guys it's like the majority of stuff is obsolete.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 beef Work/life balance Working with family and maintaining personal relationship Social media for business & being Authentic Newest advances in AI - especially AI in Robotics Enticing younger generations to Production Job Market The value of personal customer service - charter a jet to Nebraska much?!
