Value vs Non-Value | Lean Principles | Ryan Tierney
About this episode
Welcome to Lean Made Simple, a podcast about transforming your business — and life — one step at a time.

Along the way, he and Producer Matt talk about:
- What a Japanese barber taught him about value
- Fine-tuning our “waste goggles”
- Why value is only being added when the product is changing
- Bob the lean painter
- Internal vs external customers
- How 90% of everything businesses do is waste
- And how to start cutting non-value from our lives
