The future isn't just coded — it's built | Lauren Dunford
About this episode
Look around — almost everything you see was manufactured, from baby formula to AI data centers and beyond. Yet we rarely think about how it’s all made. Factory fixer Lauren Dunford pulls back the curtain on modern manufacturing, revealing just how thrilling and world-shaping this unsung engine of progress can be. Discover how reinventing this overlooked industry could be one of the most important opportunities of our time — and why we all have a role to play. After the talk, Modupe urges you to reevaluate your biases on manufacturing jobs and why it's an industry worth exploring by new generations.
