Founder and master distiller, Glenn's Creek Distilling

Show notes: https://www.markgraban.com/mistake94

My guest for Episode #94 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is an old friend of mine from professional circles, David Meier. When I first met him, he had left his career at Toyota, and became a consultant in the Lean methodology around the world. He is co-Author of the books The Toyota Way Fieldbook and Toyota Talent.

In recent years, he founded Glenn's Creek Distillery in Kentucky, which I've been able to visit twice. I've interviewed David previously a few times on my Lean podcast -- about Toyota/Lean and about the distillery.

In today's episode, David shares his "favorite mistake" story from his Toyota days and how they created a "no-fault, no-blame culture."
