In this episode, Aaron sits down with Ed Young of FabricatorsCoach.com to explore powerful principles from The Goal by Eliyahu Goldratt. Ed breaks down the Theory of Constraints and how it applies directly to stone shops and small fabrication businesses.

The conversation centers on identifying the true bottleneck in a stone shop - installations, calculating and maximizing throughput, and the value of a fixed turnaround time.

If you’ve ever felt like your business is working hard but not moving forward, this episode offers a clear framework to rethink your operation.

Key Takeaway:

Short-term discomfort beats long-term damage.
