Summary
What happens when a rush job collides with holiday shipping chaos and failure isn’t an option? In this episode, Andrew walks us through a real-world manufacturing crisis involving last-minute customer demands, specialty tooling delays, weather-related shipping failures, and nonstop overtime. Along the way, Jay and Andrew cover: the true cost of rush orders (beyond the invoice), why duplication and redundancy matter in high-stakes work, when it makes sense to say yes and when it’s wiser to walk away, managing time and expectations, customer communication under stress, and more.
