Due to technical challenges, several episodes of IndustryWeek's Production Pulse video series did not get posted to our website, until now. We'll be adding these lost episodes throughout the next few weeks. This episode originally aired on July 25, 2024.

Megan Barrett, Director of Operations at Engineering Tomorrow
Michael Gretczko, Deloitte’s Chief Business Architect
David Hook, R&D Engineer at CoorsTek
IndustryWeek's Anna Smith.
