Paul Akers, author of 2 Second Lean, opens up about how he went from manufacturing his first product in his garage at night, to running a business bringing in $10MM/yr. Paul’s biggest advice to business owners (large and small) is to remember that a business’s most valuable resource is not the money, but the people. 

Today, we’ll learn how to efficiently run a business, including ways to nurture and grow your employees, which in turn increases profit. You can learn more about Paul and Lean Manufacturing techniques on his website.

On episode 8 of The Ikigai Podcast, I interview Paul Akers about his latest book, Banish Sloppiness. Paul Akers is the founder and president of FastCap, a product development company specializing in woodworking tools and hardware for the professional builder. 

Paul is an energetic speaker whose core passion is helping people discover their full potential and showing others how to implement Lean in their business and personal life.   As you would expect, Paul is also passionate about Japan and teaches people the philosophy of Japan through his Japan study missions. 

Paul and I had a great conversation about how lean manufacturing, precision, and Japanese culture changed his life.
