This week's episode runs through the early (very early!) manufacturing career of George Podlasek, President of Winslow Automatics, through his legal career and back to manufacturing again.

In this episode, Ari and George talk about the George's Dad's hard work ethos and how it molded the Podlasek family and business.  

George took lessons learned in his youth and through his legal career to continue growing and developing the business his grandfather started in 1956. In fact, he saw a whole new opportunity in evolving the business through technology and engineering.

Changing a company culture is no small feat. Listen to George talk to Ari about how he did it and what the future hold for technological advancement at Winslow. 

George's favorite business book: Art of War, Sun Tzu
