AWP: Simple Systems, Massive Wins: Lessons from Manufacturing with Sarah Jardine


Listen Later

"On this episode of the Aaron Werner Podcast on EyeCode Media, Aaron talks with Sarah Jardine, CEO of epipole and maker of the ultra-portable epiCam®. Sarah shares how simple ideas—like wheels on workstations and Kaizen Time—helped her 10× production at Optos without adding space. They dive into flow, leadership, and lessons from factories, fast food, and Disney that eye care practices can steal today.

Together, Aaron and Sarah dive into simple but transformative strategies for improving flow, efficiency, and team engagement—lessons optometrists and entrepreneurs alike can apply immediately.

In This Episode:

- How wheels, power grids, and zero new square footage 10×’d Optos’ output
- The brilliance of Kaizen Time: 2 hours a week = millions in productivity gains
- Why studying both failures and successes unlocks faster growth
- What McDonald’s, Disney, and lipstick factories can teach eye care practices
