  • Pace Is a Leadership Choice | Sanjay Brahmawar | Industry Next Ep. 2
    Jun 10 2026
    Sanjay Brahmawar, CEO of QAD | Redzone, joins Danny Gonzales to make the case that manufacturing modernization isn't a technology problem. It's a leadership problem. With 500,000+ unfilled manufacturing jobs and most workers over 55, Sanjay argues that AI's real job isn't headcount reduction: it's making frontline workers 3 to 4x more productive. He breaks down why 95% of AI projects fail to drive real outcomes, what separates manufacturers who win with technology from those who stall, and why the genie is out of the bottle whether you're ready or not.

  • Is Your Factory Flying Blind? | Craig Henry | Industry Next Ep. 1
    May 12 2026
    Craig Henry, Global Account Director for Amazon at Murrelektronik and author of Super Connected, joins Danny Gonzales to unpack why most factories are still flying blind in the age of AI. Craig makes the case for what he calls the forgotten middle of industrial connectivity, the overlooked layer between the shop floor and the systems meant to serve it. He covers why cybersecurity is now a non-negotiable component of any connectivity strategy, what separates real leadership from management, and why the path to staying competitive starts with being so good you are playing a different game entirely.
