“The podcast that’s like TEDx meets ‘How It’s Made.’” Discussing the latest trends & technologies impacting modern manufacturers. Hosted by @cwluecke.

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

The factory of the future isn’t just about new technology. It’s also about having the right skills and people to support it.
At Revere’s Factory of the Future Executive Forum, Chris Luecke hosted a live episode of Manufacturing Happy Hour featuring Michael Cvelbar and Phil Bush of Rockwell Automation, Joe Hamann of the Connected Systems Institute (CSI), and Revere’s Ryan Schneeberger.
Together, they tackled an important question: How do we advance automation while building and maintaining the workforce skills manufacturing needs? Listen to the latest episode of Manufacturing Happy Hour to hear the full conversation.

photo dump from the unofficial imts influencer event Manufacturing Mic Drop 🎤🍻

put on by @mfgconnector and @structify.ai 🎉

Was I barely standing by the end of the last week? Yes.
Do I want to go back? Also yes.

I’m always on here talking about internet friends becoming IRL friends and this group right here is a huge part of that.

Sure, we’re all in the manufacturing and storytelling space, but you’d be surprised to find out a majority of these people have absolutely angelic singing voices... at least it sounds that way after a couple drinks 🍻

Not pictured is @meaghanthemaven bc she was killing it on stage with some Dixie Chicks!!

Party in Chicago Tuesday. One of the last handful of 2026 from @mfghappyhour before the 10-year party continues with more tour dates, live shows, and afterparties in 2027. Kaiser Tiger rocks. Get there. I’ll be dressed as Ferris Bueller.

Artwork as always by the wickedly talented @iconandink

What a great night for Iowa manufacturing! 🎙️🍻

A huge thank you to Chris Luecke and Manufacturing Happy Hour for partnering with WiM Iowa to bring the podcast to Iowa for the first time!

We loved sharing what makes Iowa manufacturing so special, while hearing from leaders at Weiler and Co-Line Manufacturing.

Thanks to everyone who joined us! 🙌

MIDWEST! @mfghappyhour’s All-American Manufacturing Summer Tour is in its home stretch, and we’re wrapping with a 300TH EPISODE PARTY back home in St. Louis, MO! ⚜️ We have shows in Des Moines and the KC area today and Tuesday respectively, but I have something exciting to share about Wednesday in STL…

Against my better judgment, the 300th episode will be a “reverse interview” where 3 of my high school friends interview me in front of a live audience. I’m excited to be joined by @j0hngerard, @rjgarwitz, and @pmorris115 for what will inevitably be as much of a roast as it is an interview…from some reflections of our time at @desmetjesuiths 20+ years ago to playing punk rock cover tunes in the Atomic Monkey Project, I’m sure we’ll cover some ground.

Tickets are available via the link in bio. Join us at 5pm on Wednesday 8/12 in St. Louis (and for our shows in Des Moines and Lenexa before that too). Stay Innovative, Stay Thirsty.

Happy Monday! No long sappy post. Just pictures and appreciation for the people that came to the Manufacturing Happy Hour in King of Prussia / Philly the other week and made this event SO great.

The energy from everyone made this event what it was. So thankful for Chris Luecke for bringing us all together!

What does it take to build something well, on purpose, in a world that keeps pushing you to move faster?

This week, Baukunst Co-Founder and General Partner @tylermincey_ joined @mfghappyhour for a conversation about what it means to build with intention.

Drawing on his journey from helping develop the original iPhone at Apple to co-founding Baukunst, Tyler shares the thinking behind our name, why craftsmanship still matters, and how intentional building shapes the way we invest.

The conversation also dives into our latest research on AI adoption in manufacturing, why the reality on factory floors is often very different from the narrative, and where we believe the biggest opportunities lie.

Give it a listen wherever you get your podcasts.

My first @automateshow thanks to @sliprobotics who invited me to host a fireside chat with Chris Smith the CEO and Founder. There was definitely some overlap between supply chain and automation evidenced by friends like @dexoryhq @yondu.ai and @retina.robotics there.

Another highlight was meeting Chris from @mfghappyhour and Jacob Sanchez from @rbtx_robotix_marketplace
