[@GlenWooden67]

Sandy- you definitely have the correct president in Cory. The very FIRST question he had for @Joe was (paraphrasing) "How can I help my organization and people perform better and work together more effectively". THAT is EXACTLY what a true leader would do - it isn't about him, it isn't about ego, it is all about his service to his team. #RespectCory

[@gmy33]

Exactly what i was thinking

[@juggy666]

Nice

[@t3hpwninat0r]

Cory's insatiable appetite for learning is priceless and, as a company president, incredibly rare.

[@murbella7]

I will be 79 in July and last year I built a home workshop because I like to make stuff (I'm not too good at it yet). I need to stay busy. I am a photographer, a retired electrical engineer and computer systems analyst. I started as an apprentice electrical fitter at 18 and after 5 years of that, as a tradesman I built and maintained electricity supply substations. I am also a photographer and worked on weddings, portraits, landscapes, travel and other stuff for over 20 years. I was a rock musician for 25 years (with a few hits) and front-of-house mixer for 10. I currently teach and lecture on photography and image processing, I edit teaching videos for our photography judging association, I am a practicing photography judge at senior level. A lot of this stuff happened simultaneously of course. I can't understand those who just want to sit and wither away. What a waste of fun time.

[@LJ-jq8og]

LOVE Sandi's common freaking sense ❗❤💪

[@dahoop5933]

Another Cory fan here, just sits & soaks everything up. A man of few words, every comment is focused. That's a microcosm of what you guys preach - efficiency, less is more. Xx

[@andrewsaint6581]

I love the Toyota 100 year plan story. "Where there's arrogance, there's opportunity!"

[@martynadams9942]

Considering their attitude to EVs, it's ironic.

[@wtmayhew]

Toyota is at the extreme end of the change resistance scale. I used to work for a company which processed Toyota’s warranty claims to its tire vendor. Toyota insisted we interact with their EDI system using X.25 over a 56K modem until about 2010! We had to buy used spares for the one US Robotics modem model which could handle the antiquated protocol from eBay. Toyota eventually did get on board with an SSL connection, but it took a team of horses dragging them screaming. On the other hand, Ford and Delphi were pretty good with staying agile and current at IT technology (can’t really speak to their manufacturing).

[@jeffpicken5057]

@@wtmayhew it’s mind blowing, is it? How has Toyota been the standard bearer of lean manufacturing, yet they can’t get out of their own way now. They’re Blockbuster and Kodak rolled into one.

[@wtmayhew]

@@jeffpicken5057 I like your Blockbuster and Kodak analogy. A lot of criticism can be justifiably leveled at Ford and GM, but they’re still viable. Toyota is still cruising on inertia, but I wonder about Toyota long term if they can’t loosen up. So far Tesla is great at building facilities and infrastructure, but we’ll have to see if they can keep making products people want and for which their organization is able to provide timely after-sales service.

[@areitu]

@@wtmayhew ​ Just because Toyota doesn't go along with the latest trends doesn't mean they're on the way out. They're very deliberate about change and do what works for them at a strategic level and will change the way they work if they have to. In the 80s, GM tried to leapfrog incoming Japanese competition in quality and price by spending $45 billion on automation and IT. Their new automated factory was supposed to be agile, flexible, fast and build high quality cars to order. It ended up being a huge disaster. They ended up pulling out most of the robots, reverting to human labor and employed twice the number of people as a nearby ford factory to match the output. If this story sounds familiar, Tesla made the same mistake during the Model 3 ramp

[@10000Mistakes]

Joe nailed it around the 54 mark. I considered applying to work on the Teslabot but once I learned about Tesla's pace of work, I realized that I just don't have the energy to work hours that long (I'm a sprinter, not a marathoner). Health issues, family responsibilities, etc. keep some really innovative, talented people on the sidelines of this amazing, positive change that's emerging - it's a missed opportunity for the organizations that are pushing these envelopes. Imagine Cambridge missing out on Steven Hawking's genius by refusing to build a wheelchair ramp - Hawking would likely still do well, but Cambridge would have suffered. Great interview, way more than I thought it would be. Both Joe and Sandy are national (world) treasures and we need you in the fight as long as possible.

[@wtmayhew]

There’s change through agility and then there’s flailing needlessly. We’re seeing a time-compressed version of Tesla’s latent problems with what is going on at Twitter right now thanks to the fact IT moves at the speed of light.

[@ekaa.3189]

When Musk was starting SpaceX, he tried to hire me. I knew I didn't have the energy to work in a startup type environment. I was already unable to work a full work week. I'm now fully disabled by ME/CFS with PEM. I did give him tons of constructive criticism, advice, and warnings. Battery storage for solar and wind was part of it. That was to pay for Mars colonization.

[@aceconstantine3812]

Yeah this has resonated with me for some time now. Been thinking about maybe doing a tour of duty, work there for 6 months till burn out. Maybe like Sandy said though the more you work the more you can work. Might just be so deep in my current situation its hard to imagine being in one that's not exhausting

[@wtmayhew]

@@aceconstantine3812 I had a job for ten years which required me to be available 24x7. Getting frequent adrenaline rushes feels cool and exciting at first, but then it really starts to wrack your physical being. It really gets your goat to take one three day vacation per year and still get calls at 3:00 AM. After I got a better job, it was clear the former company was exploiting me for what they could get rather than valuing what I could give. Good riddance to them. I have to disagree with Munro that the more you work, the more you’re able to work. You can’t get more than 100% out of people and if you try running people ragged too long, you wind up getting 80%, 75%, maybe less.

[@wtmayhew]

I should add that after I moved to the better job, I found I could achieve more output is less time because the place was fundamentally better organized. Musk and his managers creating a shitty high pressure environment isn’t a manifestation of genius efficiency, but rather poor management misusing human resources.

[@jimdetry9420]

One of your best videos. Thank you.

[@MunroLive]

Wow, thank you!

[@lyfandeth]

Twelve hour shifts are normal even in hospitals. But every labor study in the last hundred years has confirmed that when you go from an eight hour shift to a twelve hour shift, the accident and error rates DOUBLE. That may be acceptible and necessary in combat, but even the Roman legions knew the value of holding back fresh troops and not putting them all into combat right from the start.

[@alanlight7740]

Likewise, maximum productivity in factories comes from a work week of about 55 hours. Go over 55 hours a week and productivity starts decreasing. I'm amazed at how many businesses try to push beyond this, even working seven 12 hour days in some cases I know of. It's just insane. That said, there are rare individuals, particularly in management or in creative jobs, who may be able to increase productivity by working longer hours. Likewise, not all hours "on the job" are equal. If the job includes many hours of just waiting around for an emergency, for example, and if workers can sleep on shift so long as they can be woken up and ready to go in an instant, then longer shifts may make sense.

[@rogerdavis7450]

I LOVED this video. Started watching for the culture segment but could not stop watching! Yes, this video is Brilliant! Thanks!!

[@ForTheBirbs]

Wow, wow, wow. What a discussion. I'm medically retired from Australia's leading Govt research organisation, nine years ago. My conditions meant I couldn't sustain fixed work times, or set hours, some days a couple of hours, others 12+. The systems in place had no way of coping with this, as you spoke about. My manager tried to work something out but it wasn't possible. We also had kids in on work experience from high school who were more than amazing. I can so relate to what you're talking about

[@paulcunniff9978]

I've tuned in for nearly all of your Munro presentations...this was the absolute best. Just wish I had known that there were those that shared my fundamental beliefs when I entered the aerospace engineering business 60 years ago.

And I'm talking about thousands of videos, ranging from Tesla, through Veganism, to Technology, from X-space, through Ukraine, to WST... and so on. Considering I'm 73 now, I could barely restrain myself from jumping up and down when you talked about older people being resistant to change. Regardless, that this is my pet-peeve subject, I admire you. Being the "older guy" you are still so open-minded and ready to accept unconventional ideas, either from a layperson, young person, or old person...the age or social status doesn't matter. Your two co-hosts, Cory and Joe are brilliant in their contribution to your style of this kind of conversation.

Lots of great takeaways. Thank you Sandy, Cory, and Joe. A vision that is aspirational and inspirational that is likely to be 100 years or a 1,000 years in front of you - I find helpful for my teams. While I find - having a mission that clearly calls out the “why” and guides the desired future outcomes for the customer / world allows team members to figure out the “how” along the path. Love lean methodologies and find constant experimentation and shared learning super exciting. Thank you all for inspiring this generation and the generations to follow.

[@jeffbertuleit5848]

I’m building a super efficient electric airplane and finding information and sourcing electric motor systems difficult and almost secretive. Sandy and his company aren’t afraid of giving out educational information and that accelerates innovation where secrecy does not. Companies that think only looking for the big score and ignore the basically free testing and trial of the small guy are missing an opportunity. Nothing more agile than someone on a frugal budget and time frame.

I have been a follower of Dr. Deming. He mentioned that the problem with American manufacturers is that their long term goals are based upon the shareholders quarterly income. The Japanese had 10 year programs that their manufacturing was based on. Joe mentioned Teslas 1000 goal. How can we even dream of a 1000 year goal if the investors are looking at quarterly income?

[@jeremiahcook6617]

Joe Justice statement is true at time stamp 54:20. There are great numbers of people who are underemployed because they have not recognized their talents or are unsure of how to use their strengths. Maybe an affordable mentor network that determines people’s strengths and interests and connects them with the network connections (the information or people who could guide them). Knowledge is power, goals are inspiring, and personal guidance leads to greater accomplishment and focus.

[@privateerburrows]

The shoe-box with the umbrella flying thing was probably some kind of electro-wind propulsion prototype. There are dozens and dozens of century old patents using that old technology. One patent I once saw had electron emitting needles all over the surface of an aircraft, with anode connection strips to accelerate the ionized air backwards, to produce forward thrust. Another patent was for a kilometers sized flying mattress, like a flying skeleton of a mattress, about 100 meters thick, with alternating decking's of negative and positive high voltage wires to ionize air and accelerate it downwards to produce lift. The reason those patents have never been commercially adopted is the concern over toxicity from ozone production; but who knows there may be secret craft using that kind of propulsion in some of the world's militaries. The larger types of UFO's may be of earthly origin and may use that type of propulsion to try to appear other-worldly. I've heard stories of the RozChild banking cabal having secret bases in several countries with flying contraptions they've been planning to use in order to mount a false flag alien invasion; of course I don't know if any of it is true, but it sounds more plausible to me than the recent military disclosures about UAP's, as if we were expected to believe something just because the military says so.

[@Seoulhawk01]

Enjoyed the interview. I am in my late 50s can't wait to retire, not because I don't think I bring value, but because I have spent a lifetime working around government bureaucracy. I like to tell people that the word "No" gives you power. They love the word no. No, makes you essential. You need them when they tell you no. Now you need to jump through hoops to get to the word yes. I can't get $50.00 to buy some small thing required for a project without a ton of paperwork and a minimum of three months. I am done. I am beaten. For years I would get up each day, look at the brick wall, lower my head and slam into it. I mistakenly thought that I could dent it. I did not kill it. I made it stronger.

[@johnross6314]

Thank you for your authentic response. A constant reminder for others to beware. However…. You are not burnt up. Resistance is not futile. You are not like one of the heroes in the original (not remake) movie Red Dawn, close to the end and within victory Patrick Swayze says “I am all used up”. You are not all used up. You have much life in you to place dent in the world. You already have… When God and you look down at your life, he will point of your timelines today you cannot see. Those that did have influence.. where those went and continue to move forward. You can and should continue your journey. Retire, take you 85%+ of highest pay pension. As they spoke on the video, get in contact, become one of those two categories (older) of people who can really make a difference. Your experiences positive and negative have so much value to those who do not want to repeat the failures of others.

[@alanlight7740]

I've known a number of people who worked those sort of government jobs. From what I gather, when the government was smaller, when the people taking those jobs had often had civilian careers prior (or at least got in at a time when everyone was united in the effort to win the Second World War), and when government jobs paid less than civilian jobs (but admittedly had better benefits), the quality and commitment of government workers seems to have been much better. But when government jobs pay more than private sector jobs, and the people who go for those jobs are chasing high pay without any real interest in improving things, or even providing value for what they are paid, and when most have little to no experience in the private sector ... you end up with a great many people in those jobs who have no interest in doing anything other than lining their own nests, and who are completely out of touch with how the real world works. Then with few people having any idea how things really work they end up focusing on process without any regard for results at all. Of course there are many good people still working in government, but they seem to be outnumbered and surrounded at this point. Someone needs to take an axe to the bureaucracies like Elon recently took an axe to Twitter. I suspect that firing about 75% of the federal workforce would be a good start and would produce great results for the country, though 75% might be a bit too low. Anyway, thanks for fighting the good fight. If it weren't for people like yourself I'm sure things would be far worse.

Sandy’s story about the hidden expense of a requisition order is gold. In the military it is important that command decisions are devolved to where there have the most immediate effect. The lengthy process of providing a situation update to the upper ranks and then for new orders to be issued does not cost money it costs lives. Look at the cumbersome operation of the highly structured Russian army and compare it with that of the much flatter management structure of the Ukrainian army. Initiative and innovation conceived at the level at which it is needed wins in business and wins wars.

[@danielrothschild4912]

When Joe is talking about trying to be involved in habitats and space because of where he thinks the technology will go in the future, he is almost employing a diffrent mindset then the 100 year plan. Instead of just focusing on what is possible, essentially without the limit of the time and resources it takes to accomplish the change he wants to see, it is almost like he is focusing on both predicting and then taking advantage of where things are moving. Mainly, what he is describing is not trying to accomplish something that would not happen without him and it would not be something that he is solely or primarily responsible, but trying to be a part of and to help facilitate a change in the world that he sees as important. In essecence his thought processes is akin to trying to design where to design, looking for places on a ship that you are not exactly steering but are certainly one of the rowers, and I think that mindset is a really interesting compliment to the 100-year mindest at the company. If he can simplify that and formulate that into guiding principles that can guide employee decision making as individual within a larger company, I think there is a lot of opportuntiy there for creating self-organizing company structures where employees better find the jobs within their company that they most beleive in and are excited about. The 100 year philosophy is still necisarry for the captain guiding the ship but if each employee is trying to find a place with that trip where they can effect a change of their own invention and then generate value from that, you could create a sort of company of companies where each employee is competing and benefitting from the individual value they are creating within a company.

One of my grandmothers was driving a horse and buggy when she was 10, and watching the moon landing when she was 61. My father sometimes rode a horse to college and tied it up to a hitching post outside while he went in for class.

@@cengeb Just FYI, your comment reads like someone coming off the street criticizing SpaceX's Falcon9 because they think Lockheed was the cool company when they grew up and judging it by looking at how their new designs look better to that layperson

[@cengeb]

@Muskar2 look at what Lockheed has done over the decades,space X has a long waycto go to be relevant..lots of hype,which is all musk is,he's a mini trump

[@MrFoxRobert]

Thank you!

[@jimparr01Utube]

In regards to the spin-wheel, when you have the correct speed, you use extra incoming energy as a power-source. Basically the same concept as regenerative braking.

Great vlog.

Sandy’s stories are “the best” If Sandy thinks VTOL is the answer, he should get a pilot’s licence. The reality of operating in three dimensions is much, much more complicated than meets the eye. For example, you can’t just “pull over to the side of the road” when a thunderstorm hits. . . or icing conditions. . .

[@emperorpicard4901]

I think sandy is imagining autonomous VTOL rather then having pilots. And weather can now be predicted fairly accurately so its not that big of a deal.

[@XXfea]

@@emperorpicard4901 because autonomous can make up for icing conditions!

[@videopyc]

@@XXfea Sandy knows about VTOL because he has built VTOL years ago.

[@emperorpicard4901]

@@XXfea You either have to believe that the problem of icing conditions are physically impossible to solve, or that its not economically viable to implement a solution, so which is it and why? Otherwise you are complaining about nothing.

[@XXfea]

@@emperorpicard4901 we'll await your solution..I'm sure all the aerospace companies will pay you handsomely. Especially those backwards thinking folks at Sikorsky Aircraft who'd love to implement it on their hushed Blackhawk special oops helicopters....no doubt our special operators would appreciate getting in and out of missions under icing conditions...

Here's an idea for the Munro KZbin channel: The Potential Show with Sandy & Friends. Happy 2023. Keep up the great content.

[@edchandler9974]

I really, truly want to watch that 2 hour discussion of comparing & contrasting the Munro Assoc. approach with Agile.

[@GeeKayKayGee]

Wow! Just damn WOW!

[@B4ud3r]

What a great Conversation! Have a great 2023 you all!

[@jbarvideo12]

Thanks Sandy, Cory and Joe. I hope Joe and perhaps some of his employees come to the Roadster teardown and work together.

[@danneil8778]

thanks, folks.

[@Allucardsin]

Oh this video was so good Id like more interesting talks like this. I just love to listen to engineers.

Transition to an electric economy is the right thing to do. So far, I haven't seen a rational plan for the essential increase in generation capacity required to support the transition. Time is a factor. Wind and solar plus battery is not mature enough to support the transition. Nuclear is the one near term carbon free energy source that can bridge energy requirements until W&S +batt catch up enough to find their optimal place in the energy mix. The nukes will still be needed for base load. Love the Munro channel for it's cutting edge insights.

[@davemallery]

wonderful! thanks so much!

As always, its been very interesting watching the Munro and Associates, especially informing and educating the need of clean sustainable energy that is good to our health and environment. I would like and hope to see High Speed Rail all over USA.
