Manufacturing Isn’t the Problem — Execution Is
Labor Shortages, Supply Chain Uncertainty, and Lack of Coordination are Slowing Down an Industry That’s Trying to Modernize
About This Episode
Manufacturers aren’t struggling because they can’t produce — they’re struggling because they can’t adapt fast enough. Labor shortages, uncertainty, and fragmented collaboration are making it harder to scale, invest, and modernize.
In this episode, Devin Steele breaks down what he’s seen from decades inside the textile industry — from plant closures and downturns to today’s push toward reshoring, automation, and AI. He explains why execution, not capability, is the real bottleneck — and what needs to change for the industry to move forward.
