Also fixed this luggage scale that wouldn't go back to 0 anymore. Turns out all it needed was a little lube on the geared plastic slider that drives the dial and voila, back to zero.

A partially disassembled simple analog luggage scale. There is a black plastic slot on the body where a spring-loaded nose protrudes through and drives a small geared plastic slider that lays on the table next to it. On the bottom, the dial with a kg scale (and some weird alien units) and a red plastic needle that is driven by a gear moving against the teeth on the slider, invisible on the back of the dial.

"Shift your mindset from why you can't to why you must!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

It was an honor to present at the recent BIFMA 360 Leadership Conference in St. Petersburg, where I took a hard look at the "era of acceleration" currently transforming the manufacturing industry.

From the rapid integration of AI and robotics to the emergence of "swarm factories," the message is clear: the future is coming at you faster than you think. How fast are things changing? Take a look at my slide deck - I share the full thing right here. I don't often share these, but I'm particularly proud of what I put together.

To encourage them to keep moving forward, I just shared a deep-dive summary, and a video recap that collectively outline the mindset required to survive—specifically, my mantra to "Think BIG, Start small, Scale fast!"

How did I encourage them to think about tomorrow? I told them about what things would look like in exactly 10 years!

The slides and article guide you through "Project Aura," a hypothetical 2035 scenario where we build a "phygital" workspace using digital twins and bio-responsive materials. These resources outline a 10-step roadmap—from "cognitive briefs" to "product-as-a-service"—illustrating how technologies such as generative AI and 3D printing are reshaping the entire manufacturing lifecycle.

I also filmed a summary YouTube video as a refresher of what I covered in the keynote. It brings these concepts to life with practical leadership strategies for today. In it, I discuss the importance of building an "Xbox Room" to allow young engineers to experiment with new tools and the necessity of hiring "rebels and misfits" to shake up the current skill set. The video serves as a passionate reminder that we are in a time where trends can go "supernova" and change an industry overnight.

Crucially, I warned them of the dangerous "barbell structure" forming in the industry - big companies are doing all these things, and small and medium-sized manufacturers are falling behind. I challenged these leaders to "kill the innovation killers" (the excuses that hold you back) while building the "experiential capital" necessary to avoid becoming the hollowed-out middle.

Overall?

My key guidance was not to try to avoid what must be done - and to do that, they needed to shift their mindset from why they 'can't' to why they 'must!

Eine schwarz-weiß Fotografie eines schlanken, spitz zulaufenden Betonmonuments, das schräg aus einer grasbewachsenen Anhöhe in den Himmel ragt. Die Oberfläche des Monuments zeigt eine glatte, leicht strukturierte Textur mit einer länglichen Öffnung im unteren Bereich. Der Himmel ist hell und weitgehend strukturlos, was den Kontrast zur dunkleren Landschaft verstärkt. Am rechten Bildrand steht eine einzelne Person in einiger Entfernung, wodurch die Dimension und Höhe der Skulptur deutlich wird. Die Komposition ist reduziert und betont Linien, Proportionen und den offenen Raum.

AI, cloud, and platform modernization don’t fail because of technology. They fail because of behavior.

Cloud-native didn’t fail. We finished:

• storage
• compute
• deployment

We skipped:
• workflows
• failure modes
• observability
• accountability

Then we blamed “complexity.” Cloud-native didn’t create it. It just made it visible.

Nhiều founder SaaS không thật sự muốn mở rộng qui mô — họ chỉ muốn được công nhận. Tăng trưởng khiến họ đánh mất cảm giác "chiến đấu" ban đầu, thay vào đó là quản lý, vận hành và hy sinh sáng tạo. Khi startup cất cánh, bạn có thực sự thích phiên bản trưởng thành ấy, hay nhớ khoảng thời gian hỗn loạn nhưng đầy đam mê? #SaaS #FounderReality #KhởiNghiệp #Scale #SaaS_VN #FounderStruggle

Huy động 3M$, chi 2M$ để tìm sản phẩm phù hợp thị trường – và thành công. Khi có PMF, 1M$ còn lại là đủ để tăng trưởng hiệu quả. Chi phí tìm kiếm cao, nhưng tạo nền tảng cho tăng trưởng rẻ và bền vững. Đừng ngại chi cho thử nghiệm – đó không phải là phí, là đầu tư cho kiến thức.
