We grew up riding buses through Cressona, PA—blue-collar roots, small town grind, and a whole lot of lessons that didn’t come from a classroom. In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend Lucas Hahn—author of Lean Into It—to talk about how the principles behind Lean Six Sigma aren’t just for factories or business nerds.

We’re talking about:

Why working hard matters (but working smart matters more)

How to get 1% better every day

Measuring what actually helps your relationships

Where to even start when life feels stuck

And why the culture around you always beats the tools you try to use

This one’s packed with throwbacks, real-life wisdom, and ideas you can actually use—at work, at home, in whatever chaos you're navigating.
