Tune in to The Gunn Show Podcast – Where Manufacturing Minds Meet!

At the latest ARMA (Austin Regional Manufacturers Association) conference, Tony Gunn brought the house down in his keynote presentation – now exclusively featured on The Gunn Show Podcast. Known as the voice of modern manufacturing, Gunn isn’t just a speaker; he’s a spark plug igniting conversations that matter. In this unforgettable session, he dived deep into the heart of American manufacturing, presenting an inspiring vision for onshoring, reshoring, collaboration, and technological adaptation that captivated a packed audience and left a lasting mark on the future of manufacturing. He highlighted how onshoring and reshoring are no longer just buzzwords – they’re necessary strategies to strengthen the American economy. According to the Reshoring Initiative, 2023 alone saw more than 300,000 manufacturing jobs return to U.S. soil, driven by supply chain vulnerabilities exposed during the pandemic. With over 40% of manufacturers in the U.S. reporting a shortage of skilled labor, Gunn urged, “We don’t need lone wolves; we need allies.” His speech outlined how companies of all sizes, from small machine shops to major corporations, can work together to share resources, bolster training programs, and create an industry that not only survives but thrives in a global marketplace. The Gunn Show’s host wasn’t shy about what it takes to lead. “We need to be brave, not just bold,” Gunn asserted, urging manufacturers to adopt cutting-edge technologies to remain competitive. In closing, Tony Gunn painted a powerful picture of a united, technologically adept U.S. manufacturing industry ready to take on the world. He encouraged every manufacturer, manager, and machine operator to view themselves as essential players in this industry-wide transformation. With newfound resilience and a forward-thinking attitude, Gunn’s vision was clear: the U.S. isn’t just competing; it’s setting the stage for a manufacturing renaissance.
