Episode #101 - What the Hell's Going On?
Everywhere you look, there are conflicting opinions on the direction of business, the markets, the elections, and even the success of reshoring. The latest season of predominantly fastener related talk radio floats in like a benign bubble, and begins with an open question to which a host of fastener professionals respond, with John Butler, Andy Cohn, Pam Berry, Gary Polipnick and more (18:58). Could the end of hydrogen embrittlement be near? Industry consultant and guru, Carmen Vertullo, discusses this possibility as he offers three “fastener war stories” during his latest feature appearance (1:02:47). Bamal Fastener Corp president, Kevin Miller, sits in with Mike McNulty, of Fastener Technology International, to dissect the latest FDI on the Fastener News Report (43:10). Plus, Fastener Fair Mexico is previewed with Mack Brooks Exhibitions manager, Bob Chiricosta (30:50). The boys examine alternate views of the current state of returning jobs to the States, decide there might be objective truth in the numbers, but come away wondering what the hell is actually going on. Run time: 01:59:38
