3:09 – Even if it’s your tenth or twentieth year on the job, there is still something you can learn today
3:27 – As long as you stay curious, you can learn from anyone—even someone who you previously thought you couldn’t learn anything from
4:29 – Due to the rise of AI and other emerging technology, manufacturing could be in for some big and unique changes, and we need to prepare for that
5:40 – If you don’t know what didn’t work in the past, it’s harder to prepare for the future

6:58 – By staying curious, we can better work with others to find creative, productive outcomes

9:23 – If people feel like you believe in them, they’re more likely to rise to the occasion

11:14 – Be open to new and different perspectives
12:59 – Look back at your last 30 days. How have you tackled problems? What can you do differently in the next 30 days?
