Episode 08: Jason Moss

Manufacturing may seem like it’s driven by competition, but when you approach it with a spirit of collaboration, your entire sense of opportunity and potential can start to shift spectacularly. This week on the show we welcome Jason Moss, CEO of Georgia Manufacturing Alliance (GMA). We talk with Jason about how he was able to gather a group of competitive manufacturers in Georgia and create a collaborative and supportive community that helped folks weather the storm of COVID, and take on massive projects that they would never have been able to do on their own! GMA was designed to help support and grow Georgia’s manufacturing community, and they have been doing just that since 2008 through a series of plant tours, networking events, and educational sessions. Their success over such a short period has been hugely transformative and has been recognized by governors Brian Kemp and Nathan Deal through multiple awards! We discuss the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on production in Georgia, and how they were able to step up during a particularly stressful period. To learn more about how Jason has built community and the great strides GMA has made towards elevating manufacturing in the US, be sure to tune in today!
