Jamie decides to move to the porch, a “proper” whiskey drinking spot in contrast to his office, which might be a new standard (at least until winter). In this episode, we

We had three people, with Jim Huntzinger of Lean Frontiers joining us. We all drank the same whiskey. We used two different whiskies. We talked about 3 different keynotes. OK, so they aren’t groundbreaking firsts, but it was new for our show. Jim Huntzinger joined us after an

Our whiskey topic was cocktails, which takes longer to make (and apparently talk about) than pouring neat whiskey into a tumbler. Mark made a Boulevardier and Jamie made an Old Fashioned. We discuss bar tools and stirring versus shaking (sorry Mr. Bond, see the links below). See, we talked about process. We also explore Mark’s experience in

In whiskey, we explore the idea of adding water to your whiskey. Rather than take the tradition as fact, the lean thinker must seek an understanding of cause and effect. We find some of the research, and perform our experiments to validate that it actually works. We move on to a more serious topic, coronavirus or Covid-19, and its impact on

Our last episode together was filled with Grinches, gremlins, and glitches, so it was nice to both be in a proper recording location and be able to focus on the conversation and the whiskey. Our whiskey selections were on the theme of the Pacific Northwest, a growing region for whiskey. Mark's Westland

Jamie will be with Mark for our next episode.

We discuss air travel, which we both experience in volume, and taste affordable whiskeys under $35. We both agree handing out whiskey for Halloween would be a bad idea. In the news, we discuss an article exploring the rise and fall of Six Sigma, and its relationship to GE. This is a topic that could keep us going for a few episodes, but we focus on how too

They explore whether you should bring Lean home, and apply it "with" (not "to"???) your spouse or family. Is Lean about efficiency when it comes to your home, or your marriage? What is the purpose? We also question whether the author was really doing any Lean, or just having fun with spreadsheets. We then explore Josh Howell's (newly
