Manufacturing Happy Hour · 2026-06-02 · 49 min
Content becomes forgettable when the key message isn't wrapped in storytelling. People don’t retain information anywhere near as well as they remember stories they hear, and this is where manufacturing is missing a trick. Manufacturers are battling false perceptions that the industry is dirty, dingy, not innovative and not creative. But what’s really happening is a failure to communicate the good stuff - the advanced systems and problem solving going on behind factory walls. The things that impact almost everything we touch in our lives. Chris is joined by Danny Gonzales, CEO at IndustrialSage - a video production company focusing on telling those manufacturing stories. Danny noticed that the sector was massively underserved and saw an opportunity to change peoples’ perceptions. Using his background in B2B video production to fill the empty space with tales of meaningful work, and to show them to people in a way that they can receive it as something cool. Not a brain dump of stagnant information.
