Ever wondered how to build a brand, a business, or just a better mousetrap? The Art of Manufacturing podcast, hosted by MIT-trained tech entrepreneur Krisztina ‘Z’ Holly, has your answers.
Z (and a rotating cast of guests) guides listeners on a behind-the-scenes look at how some of the world’s most captivating entrepreneurs are trying to “make it” in their industries.
Episodes delve into themes like trends in automation, e-commerce, and packaging design; how brands stay relevant in an era of clickbait and everything live; how leaders build creative teams; and what happens when someone tries to mash-up 3-D printing, fashion, and social media influencers. Not to mention the things these entrepreneurs wished they had known before starting their companies.
