We've been on hiatus over the summer here, but I did a live streaming video the other day with my friend <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/rjmccormack/'>Ryan McCormack</a>, who regular readers of this blog will recognize as the creator of the bi-weekly "Operational Excellence Mixtape" emails that he allows me to <a href='https://www.leanblog.org/?s=mixtape'>publish here on the Lean Blog</a>.
He was also my guest for <a href='https://www.leanblog.org/2020/01/episode-12-of-the-lean-whiskey-podcast-canadian-whiskey-the-ups-downs-of-healthcare-and-a-ceo-thrown-under-the-bus/'>Episode 12 of the "Lean Whiskey" podcast</a>.
In this 30-minute discussion, Ryan and I chat about:
<ul><li>Why did you start the "mixtapes"?</li>
<li>What are some favorite books and podcasts that you have highlighted recently?</li>
<li>What have been the transferrable Lean lessons going into healthcare and now back out into other settings?</li>
<li>Best Thing / Worst Thing -- What's the best thing about doing OpEx work? The worst thing?</li>
</ul>
I hope you enjoy the conversation.
