In this episode of The Manufacturing Alliance Podcast I joined Tony Demakis for a conversation with our very own Michael Guckes, Chief Economist of Gardner Intelligence. If you don’t know Michael, he provides analysis of moldmaking and plastics marketplace data every month for the MMT brand through our Gardner Business Index: Moldmaking and Industry Reports.
Michael’s belief in continuous education is a main driver for him. During our conversation he explained the importance of storytelling through visuals and how Gardner Intelligence honors innovation through awards programs that help to grow and better the industry.
Listen in as we uncover the science behind Gardner Intelligence, as well as what makes Michael tick.
