In this episode, Kurt revisits videos he created several years ago that addressed our increasing reliance on the family of commodities known as plastic.

From cost to produce, to ease of processing, to custom tailored products...plastics are incredibly versatile...and pretty hard to beat.

Think about your own patterns of consumption. How can you make educated decisions and have a positive impact?

Thinking about the #TTF episode "Don't Give Up" (which dealt with using a disciplined approach to handle technical issues), "Know When to Stop" talks about no wearing out the welcome mat.

It's easy in sales or in interpersonal negotiations to want to take control and "keep pushing". Realistically, we need to know when to look at an opportunity and if it's not working, park it. In sales, like in comedy, timing is everything.

In today's episode, Kurt discusses the various types of additives that are used to alter the flow characteristics of resins. Broadly speaking, they can be grouped into two types; those that mix mechanically with the resin to reduce friction when flowing, and those that directly target a key area of the material's chemistry to alter viscosity (resistance to flow).

We could call this the "back to school pep-talk" episode!

Glad to have you back to #TTF and for today, let's remember that when we face challenges on the shop floor, don't give up. Take a metered response to your problems, keep your cool, and isolate one variable at a time.

Slow and steady wins the race!
