Episode Description

Running a business means living in the tension between control and chaos—and this week, Jay and Andrew talk about both. From tariffs and supply chain headaches to the quirks of wire EDM and CO₂ lasers, they explore how  shops adapt when material costs, sourcing, and technology throw curveballs. Along the way, they swap stories about spotless autobody shops, frustrating e-commerce platforms, website crashes, and even backup internet solutions.


Whether it’s stocking obscure steels, streamlining websites for Black Friday, planning redundancies that actually matter, or rethinking lean practices like “water spiders,” Jay and Andrew show how business owners can navigate uncertainty without losing sight of customer experience.
