Episode 22 - Harry Moser - Reshoring Initiative

Today we're honored to have the esteemed Harry Moser join us to talk about his worthy mission to balance America's goods trade deficit! Harry is the founder of Reshoring Initiative, after being the president of a machine tool maker GF Machining Solutions for about 22 years. His awards include Industrial Week and AME Manufacturing Halls of Fame, SPE’s Mold Designer of the Year, and Fab Shop Directors Manufacture of the Year. He's participated actively in President Obama's 2012 Insourcing Forum at the White House and is also a member of the Department of Commerce Investment Advisory Council. He's spoken at numerous conferences and events and has frequently been quoted in The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, New York Times and seen on national TV and radio programs. In this episode, we dive into the societal problems and lack of industrial policy that has gotten us here, before taking a look at the impact of Trump and Biden's rule so far and what we've learned. The conversation then turns to two important ways Reshoring Initiative helps manufacturers buy smarter and sell smarter, as well as some great ways to help the consumer access and prioritize Made in America products! Harry also brings the data and tools to push a much-needed facelift from the 'dirty' stigma of manufacturing to the 5 S's: shiny, safe, spotless, surging, steady, and outlines the part that colleges (and social media) should play in this reinvigoration drive. We hope you can join us to hear his valuable insight on what leadership can do today inside their companies to push these crucial initiatives!
