awesome

[brad_herda] 00:02:56

do you think they do that

oh yah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:03:08

i need to continuously

[brad_herda] 00:03:09

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:03:09

improve a lot the i love to use technology

[brad_herda] 00:03:11

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:03:14

stream line to make things better i also look a lot younger than i actually

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:03:20

am so i might be called gen d at some point though okay

[steve_doyle] 00:03:25

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:03:25

[brad_herda] 00:03:29

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:03:29

[brad_herda] 00:03:39

[brad_herda] 00:03:46

chain world as well as even within your own organization right being the millennial female

[brad_herda] 00:03:51

leader inside your organization how has that journey been for you

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:03:57

yeah so my journey started actually

[brad_herda] 00:03:59

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:03:59

i went to college for accounting so brand knows i love my spread sheets um

[brad_herda] 00:04:05

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:04:05

and that's really the path that i thought i would take

[brad_herda] 00:04:08

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:04:09

for my entire life as i worked in the big four public accounting for four

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:04:12

years i travelled i audited i worked very long hours and i learned a lot

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:04:20

but at some

[steve_doyle] 00:04:20

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:04:21

point you know i knew that i couldn't i couldn't do that forever and so

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:04:27

my father is actually one of the owners of sussex i am and he approached

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:04:31

me after i had been in public accounting for a while and said if you

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:04:37

want to come into manufacturing i have a job for you um and i thought

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:04:42

it would be in accounting you know what might

[brad_herda] 00:04:44

surprise

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:04:44

agree with it yeah and

[steve_doyle] 00:04:46

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:04:47

and he says no i want

[steve_doyle] 00:04:49

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:04:49

you to be in manufacturing scheduling

[brad_herda] 00:04:51

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:04:51

and i said i don't even know what that is

[brad_herda] 00:04:56

it's numbers

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:04:56

[brad_herda] 00:04:56

in a

[steve_doyle] 00:04:56

[brad_herda] 00:04:56

different format that's all

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:04:59

[brad_herda] 00:05:20

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:05:20

i had always loved manufacturing when

[steve_doyle] 00:05:22

i went to physical inventories

[steve_doyle] 00:05:29

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:05:30

and i learned about all these different companies in hell i do things and it

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:05:33

was a really good crash coursing and the accounting side of manufacturing dark side of

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:05:42

operations and manufacturing

[brad_herda] 00:05:43

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:05:43

[brad_herda] 00:05:45

the

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:05:45

[brad_herda] 00:05:46

dark side

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:05:48

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:05:55

i'm like i do

[brad_herda] 00:05:56

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:05:57

i thrive on the chaos i thrive on making things better and continuously improving and

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:06:03

finding better faster ways to to do the job

[steve_doyle] 00:06:08

yeah

[brad_herda] 00:06:08

no no

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:06:08

[brad_herda] 00:06:09

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:06:09

and

[brad_herda] 00:06:09

no no mean you get slow down that's the way we've always done it

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:06:13

[steve_doyle] 00:06:13

yes

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:06:13

[brad_herda] 00:06:15

just

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:06:15

yeah

[steve_doyle] 00:06:17

exactly

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:06:19

[steve_doyle] 00:06:19

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:06:19

[brad_herda] 00:06:19

for those that can't see the anger

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:06:21

waiting

[steve_doyle] 00:06:21

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:06:21

[brad_herda] 00:06:22

for those that can't see the anger coming

[steve_doyle] 00:06:24

[brad_herda] 00:06:24

out of her face right now

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:06:25

yeah

[brad_herda] 00:06:25

in her ears there's like steam coming out going

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:06:30

[steve_doyle] 00:06:31

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:06:31

for for my first several years here i just soaked in those

[brad_herda] 00:06:36

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:06:36

words right i learned i understood our processes and the longer i was here the

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:06:41

more i could methodically understand like okay this is why we do it i understand

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:06:47

why it doesn't mean it's the best way right so but i do think there

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:06:53

is a as milennials and gen s you can't just come in blazing with i

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:06:59

want to fix all these problems right

[brad_herda] 00:07:02

right

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:07:02

there is a rhyme or reason why things have been done that way you have

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:07:07

to step back and understand that and say okay i get it now can we

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:07:13

use the system two solve that problem right to make it faster to make it

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:07:19

more efficient but

[brad_herda] 00:07:20

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:07:20

if you don't understand where we came from and how we got there it's really

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:07:25

hard to make those changes and have people accept them

[brad_herda] 00:07:29

s really great advice for somebody as young as you are oh yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:07:35

i've come up to a lot of i mean

[brad_herda] 00:07:36

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:07:36

i've made mistakes let's not say

[brad_herda] 00:07:39

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:07:39

i happened

[brad_herda] 00:07:39

we've all made mistakes trust me and

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:07:41

right

[brad_herda] 00:07:41

you and i i've made lots of mistakes

[steve_doyle] 00:07:43

right right

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:07:44

yeah

[steve_doyle] 00:07:45

every day

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:07:46

but i learned from them

[steve_doyle] 00:07:47

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:07:47

right and i know the people and i know i know how much they can

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:07:52

handle as far as change is concerned in a certain period of time but we

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:07:57

have come a very long way and we have a lot a lot further to

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:08:01

go but we are making a lot of progress which is really exciting and it

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:08:07

makes coming to work really fun

[brad_herda] 00:08:08

that's awesome

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:08:11

hm to

[steve_doyle] 00:08:13

very cool so how have

[brad_herda] 00:08:15

yeh

[steve_doyle] 00:08:16

so being we would say the younger of the of the groups and you focus

[steve_doyle] 00:08:24

on continuous improvement how would you say the change was met when you first started

[steve_doyle] 00:08:29

versus how it's going now you've introduced change

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:08:33

yeah it was when i first started i've been here about eight years it was

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:08:39

very difficult one of my co workers will will say it was like one person

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:08:46

waving the white flag and then we had two people waving the white flag and

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:08:52

then three people and it's really hard to change when there's not as many people

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:09:00

on your side right not that there's sides but not as many people

[steve_doyle] 00:09:03

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:09:03

embracing it and helping you you can't do it alone it's teamwork it's collaboration

[steve_doyle] 00:09:08

right

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:09:09

so over the years

[steve_doyle] 00:09:12

her

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:09:12

we've hired a lot of new people that have that continuous improvement mindset that have

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:09:17

come from other moulders in the area that have used our rope software and and

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:09:23

some of like the two s that we already have they've used been using

[steve_doyle] 00:09:27

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:09:28

them and use them better so we've been able to use that knowledge to improve

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:09:32

our organization and grow

[steve_doyle] 00:09:34

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:09:35

our or core group of people who are really trying to implement change so that

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:09:42

it's not just one person because it can't you can't do it you can't

[brad_herda] 00:09:46

[steve_doyle] 00:09:47

right

[brad_herda] 00:09:47

no no it

[steve_doyle] 00:09:47

[brad_herda] 00:09:47

gets really tired tiring

[steve_doyle] 00:09:49

yeah

[brad_herda] 00:09:49

and it gets really

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:09:50

[brad_herda] 00:09:50

frustrating and it just that's part of the reason why my hair isn't where it

[brad_herda] 00:09:55

is anymore either yeah oh

[steve_doyle] 00:09:57

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:09:58

no you can't do it alone

[brad_herda] 00:09:59

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:10:00

like it's like your family you it takes a village

[brad_herda] 00:10:03

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:10:05

you all have

[steve_doyle] 00:10:05

right

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:10:05

to be rowing in the same direction and we are we are there and just

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:10:10

we just keep rolling every day so

[steve_doyle] 00:10:14

cool so when you are starting out with the with the changes because we're a

[steve_doyle] 00:10:20

generational show so we're going to ask this question of was there a specific genera

[steve_doyle] 00:10:26

tion that you would meet

[brad_herda] 00:10:27

yeah

[steve_doyle] 00:10:27

that would be more resistant to change you first started out

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:10:34

yeah i mean all of the boomers are always resistant to change

[brad_herda] 00:10:38

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:10:38

and they will tell you this is

[steve_doyle] 00:10:40

right

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:10:41

they will

[brad_herda] 00:10:41

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:10:41

tell you they're not that's the funniest

[brad_herda] 00:10:43

yes

[steve_doyle] 00:10:44

[brad_herda] 00:10:44

yes

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:10:44

part

[brad_herda] 00:10:44

they will

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:10:44

they will tell me

[steve_doyle] 00:10:46

yes

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:10:46

i really want to

[brad_herda] 00:10:47

[steve_doyle] 00:10:47

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:10:47

change but and then they'll give all their reasons why right and that's but that's

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:10:54

why i go back to there's a reason why they've been doing things that way

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:10:59

for thirty years right

[steve_doyle] 00:11:01

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:11:02

thirty years ago it wasn't grong it was probably the best way to do things

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:11:07

we just weren't as focus as a culture on changing things or improving them on

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:11:15

a regular basis so they didn't see the extent of change and the the amount

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:11:22

of change that kind of our generation is throwing on them all at once

[brad_herda] 00:11:28

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:11:28

[brad_herda] 00:11:29

[steve_doyle] 00:11:29

right

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:11:29

so i think i think milennials are more adapt and flexible to change just because

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:11:36

we grew up with a lot of change and we are okay with it so

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:11:42

but i understand where they're

[steve_doyle] 00:11:43

right

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:11:43

coming from

[brad_herda] 00:11:45

this is

[steve_doyle] 00:11:46

[brad_herda] 00:11:46

this

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:11:46

[brad_herda] 00:11:46

is a really great idea megan however why don't you have bob do that instead

[brad_herda] 00:11:50

of me could you do that because i really like what i'm doing let's just

[brad_herda] 00:11:54

do it this way one last time we'll

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:11:56

[brad_herda] 00:11:56

do it this way and then we'll make that change later one last time just

[brad_herda] 00:11:59

one last time we'll do it this way

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:12:02

yeah

[steve_doyle] 00:12:03

yes

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:12:03

that that is hard that's

[steve_doyle] 00:12:05

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:12:05

[brad_herda] 00:12:06

yeah

[steve_doyle] 00:12:07

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:12:07

that becomes very difficult right and i think the that's kind of where you can't

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:12:14

be one person

[steve_doyle] 00:12:14

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:12:14

right

[brad_herda] 00:12:15

right

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:12:16

it's a team and everyone on the team is going to migrate to this no

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:12:22

new way of doing things there's always going to be those outliers but most of

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:12:28

the time they will come around once they understand the value of the change and

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:12:33

they understand that it's not this isn't just more work for me there's a reason

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:12:37

and it's

[steve_doyle] 00:12:37

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:12:38

all in how it's presented right if you don't present it if you don't tell

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:12:42

them why

[steve_doyle] 00:12:42

yes

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:12:43

we're doing it or what the benefit is or how it can help them it

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:12:49

makes them a lot it's much harder to buy in i would feel the same

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:12:52

way if someone did that to me so you got to present it in the

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:12:57

right way

[brad_herda] 00:12:59

on a spread sheet

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:13:03

[brad_herda] 00:13:03

yeah

[steve_doyle] 00:13:04

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:13:04

that's the one thing

[brad_herda] 00:13:05

sir

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:13:05

praties are not

[brad_herda] 00:13:06

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:13:06

good for

[steve_doyle] 00:13:08

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:13:08

that's a power point

[brad_herda] 00:13:10

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:13:10

and our discussion

[brad_herda] 00:13:12

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:13:12

[steve_doyle] 00:13:13

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:13:14

[brad_herda] 00:13:17

so i

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:13:17

you heard it from me do not cure everything

[brad_herda] 00:13:20

okay we're gonna hold you that

[steve_doyle] 00:13:21

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:13:22

yeah

[steve_doyle] 00:13:23

yeah

[brad_herda] 00:13:23

[steve_doyle] 00:13:24

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:13:24

man didn't know

[steve_doyle] 00:13:25

[brad_herda] 00:13:25

as you guys have

[steve_doyle] 00:13:25

yeah

[brad_herda] 00:13:25

grown and you and the business has grown and you've gone through changes over the

[brad_herda] 00:13:31

last i mean ship i've been out here in this area for twenty some years

[brad_herda] 00:13:36

and that organization has changed dramatically over those twenty years and you've only been there

[brad_herda] 00:13:41

you've been part of that eight how or what are you doing to bring in

[brad_herda] 00:13:49

the gens kids that twenty five and younger crowd how are you guys attracting and

[brad_herda] 00:13:53

retaining or what what tactics are you using that are successful that you can share

[brad_herda] 00:13:57

with our audience and what things have you tried just didn't work and it was

[brad_herda] 00:14:01

a complete waste of time and money

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:14:06

yeah so that is a really hard question because we're still

[brad_herda] 00:14:10

we do on this highly

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:14:12

trying to

[brad_herda] 00:14:13

highly

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:14:13

[brad_herda] 00:14:13

highly

[steve_doyle] 00:14:13

it's

[brad_herda] 00:14:14

powerful journalistic type show here that we have

[steve_doyle] 00:14:16

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:14:18

now

[steve_doyle] 00:14:18

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:14:19

i wish

[brad_herda] 00:14:19

tens

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:14:19

someone

[brad_herda] 00:14:19

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:14:19

would

[brad_herda] 00:14:19

people

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:14:20

give

[brad_herda] 00:14:20

are

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:14:20

me the

[brad_herda] 00:14:20

out there

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:14:20

seat

[brad_herda] 00:14:20

wondering what that answer is going to be

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:14:24

yeah i mean we

[brad_herda] 00:14:25

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:14:25

um have

[steve_doyle] 00:14:27

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:14:27

just been discussing getting in much you know

[brad_herda] 00:14:29

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:14:30

closer contact with the local schools because

[brad_herda] 00:14:34

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:14:35

one

[brad_herda] 00:14:35

one

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:14:35

thing that gens

[brad_herda] 00:14:38

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:14:38

i really like about gens is that they don't

[brad_herda] 00:14:40

don't oh

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:14:42

all just want to go to college because they've been told they need to go

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:14:46

to college and that is huge because

[brad_herda] 00:14:49

because

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:14:50

in my

[steve_doyle] 00:14:50

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:14:50

generation in the millennials we were all i mean everyone

[brad_herda] 00:14:53

every one

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:14:54

i know we just went to college it

[brad_herda] 00:14:55

and

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:14:55

didn't

[brad_herda] 00:14:55

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:14:56

matter if you

[brad_herda] 00:14:56

and

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:14:56

knew

[brad_herda] 00:14:56

got your

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:14:56

[brad_herda] 00:14:56

masters

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:14:59

yeah i mean and you wrecked up all this debt for career you didn't even

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:15:04

know what you were going into right or something that didn't necessarily need that four

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:15:10

year degree so gens is much more logical and they're thinking about what do i

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:15:19

really want to do if i don't really want to need to go to college

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:15:22

right now i'm not going to i'm going to work or i'm going o do

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:15:24

a trade or something or get my come any to pay for that extra schooling

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:15:31

um instead

[steve_doyle] 00:15:32

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:15:32

of incurring that debt myself so that is really it important for the future of

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:15:40

manufacturing

[brad_herda] 00:15:42

huh

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:15:42

um and we are going to be working

[steve_doyle] 00:15:45

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:15:45

closer with the technical like the tech ed and the robotic and those groups within

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:15:53

the local high schools because we have a lot of automation and robotics on our

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:15:59

shop floor which are very good paying jobs and hands on and if we can

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:16:06

get those kids into our facility to see what we're doing earlier

[brad_herda] 00:16:10

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:16:11

in their lives i think it will really to fit them and us mutually to

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:16:18

to just talk to those kids earlier and have them understanding what we're doing manufacturing

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:16:24

it's not dirty it's not it's not what you think of it it's very technical

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:16:28

it's very scientific and we made cool stuff so

[brad_herda] 00:16:33

[steve_doyle] 00:16:33

[brad_herda] 00:16:33

makes some really cool

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:16:34

[brad_herda] 00:16:34

stuff

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:16:34

know that until you come here

[brad_herda] 00:16:36

right

[steve_doyle] 00:16:36

see oh

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:16:37

[brad_herda] 00:16:38

m lids

[steve_doyle] 00:16:38

yeah oh

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:16:40

yeah i mean it's

[steve_doyle] 00:16:41

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:16:41

all consumer products you would see

[brad_herda] 00:16:43

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:16:44

out there in the world and you have no idea that they're

[steve_doyle] 00:16:45

[steve_doyle] 00:16:50

m m

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:16:51

[brad_herda] 00:16:51

it is very cool when

[steve_doyle] 00:16:52

[brad_herda] 00:16:53

the first time i saw your display at the chamber office and i saw all

[brad_herda] 00:16:56

the things that were on there and the first time i was in the conference

[brad_herda] 00:16:59

room with looking at all the cosmetic stuff and cosmetic cases all those other things

[brad_herda] 00:17:03

[steve_doyle] 00:17:07

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:17:07

yeah

[brad_herda] 00:17:07

up because because i don't when you drive by you don't see all the things

[brad_herda] 00:17:14

of and like okay oh this is all coming out

trees and foliage you never know you never know how big

[steve_doyle] 00:17:25

we are

[brad_herda] 00:17:25

right

[brad_herda] 00:17:31

um m so you know kind

[steve_doyle] 00:17:34

[brad_herda] 00:17:34

of going back to that way we've always done it scenario right so you've come

[brad_herda] 00:17:39

[steve_doyle] 00:18:25

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:18:25

[steve_doyle] 00:18:25

yes

[brad_herda] 00:18:25

damn it

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:18:27

it has happened

[steve_doyle] 00:18:28

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:18:28

several times and i will stop

[brad_herda] 00:18:30

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:18:30

myself and be like i am not that person if you have an idea

[steve_doyle] 00:18:34

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:18:34

i would love to hear it

[brad_herda] 00:18:35

yeah

[steve_doyle] 00:18:35

yeah

[brad_herda] 00:18:36

just not right

[steve_doyle] 00:18:37

yeah

[brad_herda] 00:18:37

now

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:18:39

well and

[steve_doyle] 00:18:39

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:18:39

you know what i don't

[brad_herda] 00:18:42

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:18:42

i don't

[steve_doyle] 00:18:42

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:18:42

have a problem with if you have a suggestion for a better way to do

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:18:45

something

[brad_herda] 00:18:46

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:18:46

or an improvement

[brad_herda] 00:18:48

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:18:49

i'm all for it my problem is that i've been told this several times

[brad_herda] 00:18:55

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:18:55

i'm not good at delegating

[brad_herda] 00:18:57

really

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:18:57

so someone comes to me with a problem

[brad_herda] 00:18:59

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:19:00

i will take

[brad_herda] 00:19:00

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:19:00

it on and i will do it and the reason why i say that to

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:19:04

them is because i'm essentially like they'll come to with an idea and then it's

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:19:09

my problem so if somebody else has an awesome idea and they want to do

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:19:13

it have at it but i can't take on those

[brad_herda] 00:19:17

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:19:18

projects anymore um because it used to be my job that's all i would do

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:19:23

and i loved it and it's hard to it's hard to not do that i

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:19:28

am not that person i a problem solver i c a problem i want to

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:19:32

fix it

[brad_herda] 00:19:34

yah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:19:34

and it is that

[steve_doyle] 00:19:35

yes

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:19:35

is hard for me so

[brad_herda] 00:19:36

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:19:36

i've had to really restrain myself from from solving

[steve_doyle] 00:19:40

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:19:41

everybody else's problems if they want to do it have ad it you know

[steve_doyle] 00:19:47

nice

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:19:47

i'll be here to support you and guide you but i just can't i can't

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:19:50

do it all

[brad_herda] 00:19:53

i've raised enough white flag that

[steve_doyle] 00:19:54

[brad_herda] 00:19:54

i can't do it any more you

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:19:57

[steve_doyle] 00:19:57

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:19:57

mean it's not to say i won't help and i'm not still doing that it's

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:20:01

just no at some point people have great ideas and i love to hear them

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:20:08

um at some point i can't just do them all by myself

[brad_herda] 00:20:14

correct

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:20:14

that's why we have a team that's why we have a group of people that

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:20:17

were mentoring and bringing up and learning so they can continuously improve in solve those

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:20:23

problems and we have we have a very good team here oh yeah proud of

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:20:28

them

[steve_doyle] 00:20:31

very cool what would you say to any millennial that millennial or gens that's looking

[steve_doyle] 00:20:41

um at blue color work what advice would you give them support there to support

[steve_doyle] 00:20:48

their interest yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:20:51

i would say to not judge a book by its cover so manufacturing plastics just

[steve_doyle] 00:21:01

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:21:01

doesn't get the best reputation right for whatever

[brad_herda] 00:21:04

right

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:21:04

reason it's dirty

[brad_herda] 00:21:06

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:21:06

it's not good for the environment what have you right

[brad_herda] 00:21:08

[steve_doyle] 00:21:08

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:21:09

and to really come into a company and see the complexity of what we're doing

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:21:16

we're making products in the united states for the united states and we are we

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:21:22

are a core piller and the g d p of the united states we're providing

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:21:28

jobs for four hundred plus employes here in sussex i mean we are very important

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:21:34

to the economy and we're making something tangible i can see i can walk out

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:21:41

to the shop floor and i can i can see it go from pellet into

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:21:45

the machine into a plastic part that's going to be on a store shelf or

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:21:50

in your home some day and there is nothing cooler than doing that or you

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:21:56

know my dad taking us to wall

[steve_doyle] 00:21:57

yes

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:21:57

greens and showing us the compacts that he made or he designed

[brad_herda] 00:22:02

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:22:02

twenty years ago

[brad_herda] 00:22:03

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:22:04

[brad_herda] 00:22:04

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:22:04

you had

[steve_doyle] 00:22:05

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:22:05

so much

[brad_herda] 00:22:05

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:22:05

pride in that and it gave me and my siblings that same pride um and

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:22:11

it's it's just really cool and there's not a lot of a lot of jobs

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:22:15

you're not don't get this tangible feeling of like i made this i i did

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:22:22

something to make this

[brad_herda] 00:22:23

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:22:23

um that's that's the best part and i think until you're in manufacturing you just

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:22:31

you don't see that side of it oh

[brad_herda] 00:22:34

rightly

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:22:34

it's really fun

[brad_herda] 00:22:35

yes there is nothing better than

[steve_doyle] 00:22:37

[brad_herda] 00:22:38

then seeing something start as one thing that nobody can in vision and shows up

[brad_herda] 00:22:43

as something else right you had made a comment about you know it's not dark

[brad_herda] 00:22:47

not you know he dark dirty dangerous but you also made something about not good

[brad_herda] 00:22:50

for the environment

[steve_doyle] 00:22:52

[brad_herda] 00:22:52

maybe you know this answer maybe you don't but what since you are in a

[brad_herda] 00:22:55

plastic organization what are you

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:22:57

how

[brad_herda] 00:22:57

seeing

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:22:57

do you

[brad_herda] 00:22:58

in your industry for the the ability to

[steve_doyle] 00:23:04

[brad_herda] 00:23:04

find recycled materials be able to make

[steve_doyle] 00:23:08

[brad_herda] 00:23:08

new products from as well as what

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:23:10

yeah

[brad_herda] 00:23:10

are you doing to take your flash and other things to potentially be recycled or

[brad_herda] 00:23:15

repurposed or be used within the facility or turned into few or what are you

[brad_herda] 00:23:19

guys doing in your space to facilitate that

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:23:22

hm yeah so there's a couple of different things so obviously there's a big push

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:23:29

from a lot of our customers to use recycled material

[brad_herda] 00:23:32

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:23:32

right whether it's post consumer recycled or post industrial recycle material within there products the

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:23:42

issue with that sometimes can be that every lot of material is different from a

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:23:48

processing

[steve_doyle] 00:23:48

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:23:49

perspective if you want perfect parts that have no

[steve_doyle] 00:23:53

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:23:53

cosmetic um you know issues

[brad_herda] 00:23:57

right

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:23:57

that they process perfectly they have very tight tolerances for quality that can be very

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:24:03

difficult with recycle material there's also not a lot of it in the world

[brad_herda] 00:24:09

right

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:24:09

know i mean it's it's a nitch area right now and

[steve_doyle] 00:24:12

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:24:12

there's just you're not going to find millions and millions nd pounds of it because

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:24:16

the infrastructure is not there or for the recytling um so that's so that's one

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:24:24

piece of it the second piece of it is that m

[steve_doyle] 00:24:28

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:24:28

chemical recycling is kind of the next wave over cycling where

[brad_herda] 00:24:31

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:24:31

they would be able to take or scrap your re grind that sort of thing

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:24:37

or a or plastic parts that would go into a land fill and chemically recycled

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:24:43

them back to the virgin pellet

[brad_herda] 00:24:45

wow

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:24:46

that is that is

[steve_doyle] 00:24:47

mhm

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:24:47

coming but it will be many years

[steve_doyle] 00:24:49

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:24:49

because the infrastructure again is not there i mean you need these massive companies to

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:24:55

be able to fineries to be able to do that but but it's coming it

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:25:00

will just be a while right now

[steve_doyle] 00:25:02

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:25:02

we use as we grind up all of our

[steve_doyle] 00:25:06

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:25:06

re grind and use it back into our molding process as long as the process

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:25:12

is capable and the customer allows it and then anything else is sold to m

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:25:18

companies that by re grind and

[steve_doyle] 00:25:20

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:25:21

turn it into two other things so nothing goes into a land fill from the

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:25:26

from the grinding perspective

[brad_herda] 00:25:27

very cool

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:25:28

um so it is it's a circular it's becoming more circular and we our company

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:25:35

we are endurable goods we do very very very little single use plastic

[brad_herda] 00:25:41

okay

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:25:41

um and that's and that's something we

[steve_doyle] 00:25:44

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:25:45

when we're looking for new customers

[brad_herda] 00:25:47

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:25:47

that's something we prioritize is durable

[brad_herda] 00:25:49

you're

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:25:49

good

[brad_herda] 00:25:49

not in so you're not doing the knives and forks and spoons for your plastic

[brad_herda] 00:25:53

nice forks

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:25:54

[brad_herda] 00:25:54

moon type stuff

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:25:55

[brad_herda] 00:25:56

yeah

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:25:56

no not

[steve_doyle] 00:25:57

new

[megan_tzanoukakis] 00:25:57

unless unless they can

[brad_herda] 00:25:59
