    Reviving this Thread - I re read all of this and while the discussion did remain focused on small scale manufacturing from a certain point of view. Maybe i should've worded it as micro-scale manufacturing where one can start in a garage and sell on a shopify site or esty. With that foothold...

    Changing the Workplace Culture

    PEOPLE
