AMCC works to achieve sustainable development in America through economic growth, improved environmental performance, and inclusive well-paid job creation to support the revitalization of American manufacturing. Born out of an interagency program, the Investing in Manufacturing Communities Partnership (IMCP), AMCC was created as a national organization of regional stakeholders to continue the important work of deepening connections and sharing best practices within community ecosystems and between manufacturing regions. AMCC has championed the bottom-up, community-driven model of building ecosystems of support to help manufacturers thrive, and was recently designated by the U.S. EDA as the nation’s manufacturing Community of Practice. AMCC supports regional consortia organized to strengthen manufacturing in any number of public/private initiatives to include federal agency community designation programs like IMCP, DOD’s DM…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-03T16:21:42.805239+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/manufacturing-an-american-century-6604798"},"episode":{"title":"A Roadmap for Purpose-Driven Business and American Manufacturing with Andrew Hoffman","slug":"a-roadmap-for-purpose-driven-business-and-american-manufacturing-with-andrew-hoffman","published_at":"2025-04-17T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/manufacturing-an-american-century-6604798/a-roadmap-for-purpose-driven-business-and-american-manufacturing-with-andrew-hoffman","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/manufacturing-an-american-century-6604798","url":"https://rss.art19.com/episodes/24b78d3b-4947-409d-ad1b-bf042929a949.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","audio_url":"https://rss.art19.com/episodes/24b78d3b-4947-409d-ad1b-bf042929a949.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","summary":"In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with my friend Andrew Hoffman, professor at the University of Michigan and author of 19 books, to talk about his latest, Business School and the Noble Purpose of the Market. Andy’s journey is remarkable, from his early days as a carpenter to becoming one of the most respected voices calling for a rethinking of social benefit enterprises and business education. We dug into why today’s business schools must evolve beyond outdated shareholder-first models and start preparing leaders to take on the big challenges of our time—climate change, inequality, and rebuilding trust in institutions. Andy makes a compelling case for how markets, when properly guided, can serve a noble purpose. He also shares a vision for how universities, government, and business can better align to drive meaningful change. If you're part of a regional ecosystem, a university, or simply someone working to make your corner of the nation work better for more people, Andy’s insights offer both a critique and a clear path forward. I hope this conversation sparks ideas—and more importantly, action—in your own work. AMCC’s podcast is made possible in part by the expertise of Mike McAllen, founder of Podcasting4Associations .
