Episode 113: Global Supply Chain

February 2, 2022 by exponentialwisdom

Peter and Dan discuss the past few years’ shifts in global supply chains and how the COVID-19 pandemic exposed a major flaw in the system, as many companies moved operations from China to other parts of the world. Peter explores an intriguing flip, as companies increasingly move workforces off-shore yet transition key aspects of their supply chains on-shore.

In this episode:

  • Dan talks about how many manufacturing operations were shut down during the global pandemic, and explains why North America will become a major manufacturing hub in the next decade. 
  • Peter examines the implications of hiring people from all over the world. Increasingly enabled by core ‘metaverse’ technologies, experiences in AR and VR are evolving to allow remote workforces to interact in extraordinary, life-like ways. 
  • Peter and Dan agree that the most successful companies are those working to onshore their supply chains, hire top talent outside national borders, and globalize their consumer bases.

Episode 109: Reinventing Manufacturing

November 11, 2021 by exponentialwisdom

Peter and Dan discuss today’s reinvention of the manufacturing industry, and how emerging technologies — from 3D printing to generative design — are enabling faster and more automated production at scale. Touching on one company, Re:Build Manufacturing, they demonstrate how local, just-in-time manufacturing and tech-driven lean processes are beginning to disrupt the global supply chain.

In this episode:

  • Dan talks about the history of the global supply chain after WWII, and what incentives emerged after the war’s conclusion for the world to begin trading internationally. 
  • Peter and Dan agree that the best way to continue progress is to automate the routine and humanize the exceptional, such that we can leverage robots to increasingly perform jobs that are dull, dangerous and dirty. 
  • Peter frames the conversation by illustrating a future in which we could use technology to rearrange atoms to create the ultimate manufacturing machines.

Episode 78: Personalized 3D Printed Homes

November 14, 2019 by exponentialwisdom

Peter and Dan discuss the oncoming wave of 3D-printed homes, soon to grant us far cheaper, more accessible, and environmentally sound alternatives to traditional housing. Offering numerous implications across materials science, market competition and the wealth gap, Peter and Dan demonstrate how both the construction and real estate industries will experience monumental disruption in the coming decade.

In this episode:

  • Peter emphasizes the need to constantly experiment with emerging technologies and novel materials exiting the R&D stage, as well as the importance of integrating 3D printing into your own business.

  • Dan analyzes his concept “don’t compete when you can collaborate,” explaining the benefits of seeking out and constantly building new partnerships. 

  • Peter showcases the company New Story, an innovative nonprofit founded in 2015 that pioneers solutions to end global homelessness.
