All-New Podcast!
The Manufacturing Shake-Up

Hosted by Ellen Feldman Ornato and Jenny Drescher, Founding Partners of The Bolder Company

The Manufacturing Shake-Up is dedicated to transforming the manufacturing landscape for women and other under-represented groups. Not just filling the gaps but creating real opportunities for growth and development. More than a call for change; it’s a means of empowerment.

This podcast shares compelling journeys, valuable insights, and lessons learned from women in manufacturing while building a community that relates to their stories, learns from shared knowledge, and is inspired to forge their own path in manufacturing. Jump into the Manufacturing Shake-Up and discover your own path to a successful and fulfilling career in manufacturing!

"I'm just really, really excited to have this be of value to the women that are currently working in manufacturing and to inspire women to seek careers in manufacturing as well."

Paul S. Lavoie | Chief Manufacturing Officer, State of Connecticut
