On this episode, Cindy Squires and Rebekah Stacha join me to talk about CAMX 2025, taking place in just over a week down in sunny Orlando, FL (Sep. 8-11). You can still register by visiting https://www.thecamx.org.

On this episode, Jamey Embree and Ken Bisconer from L&L Products join us to discuss their work in bringing L&L's extensive expertise to solutions for the aerospace, construction, sporting goods, and emerging mobility industries.

L&L is well-known in the automotive space for developing innovative solutions that help OEMs create lighter, stronger, and quieter vehicles, but they also provide high-performance solutions for Aircraft interiors, electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing vehicles (eVTOL), and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), including drones.

On this episode, we'll be discussing three products L&L will be highlighting at CAMX in Orlando next month. They will be located at booth Q45 on the exhibit hall at CAMX.

These new products include:

PHASTER® : A proprietary two-component ambient temperature curing technology with superior adhesion performance and processing ease, in various indoor or outdoor application conditions. https://phaster.llproducts.com/

Continuous Composite Systems ™ (CCS™): Continuous fiber-reinforced composite materials that can be used as a carrier when combined with our highly engineered sealants and/or structural adhesives. The system is designed to provide strength, stiffness, and rigidity to a lightweight structure. https://ccs.llproducts.com/

InsituCore®: a family of one-component, heat-activated foaming materials that can be used to create composites with a foam core. Placed in a heated tool, the material foams to fill the mold cavity and form net-shape parts without time-consuming machining processes or energy-intensive autoclave operations. https://insitucore.llproducts.com/

On this episode, Brian Fitzgerald joins the podcast to discuss how artificial intelligence is transforming the factory floor by predicting machine and equipment failures before they occur—boosting efficiency, increasing production uptime, and cutting downtime costs.

Brian is the Chief Growth strategist at Augury, a manufacturing technology leader valued at over $1 billion. Their platform is helping manufacturers unlock greater production capacity, improve operational predictability, and advance sustainability, reshaping the way manufacturing teams operate. More information is available at www.augury.com.

On this episode, Edward Crawford, and Rick Armstrong of Coltala Aerospace join me to discuss Evans Composites' accelerated growth in aircraft repair operations under Coltala Aerospace.

Evans Composites has experienced transformative growth this past year, powered by Coltala Aerospace’s precision integration strategy. This momentum has brought alignment and strength to Evans, driving significant gains in operational performance, scalability, and customer experience.
