    The Outliers Inn | Thanksgiving

    ByXONITEK November 24, 2022September 29, 2025

    Give a listen… In this episode, JP is thankful to have a regular guest at The Outliers Inn, Don “Beer Man” Burshnick, able to step up and be the co-host on zero notice because Mule has forgotten (yet again) to be in a state of readiness to fulfill his hostly duties. Thanks Beer Man! Beer…

    ByXONITEK September 25, 2022September 29, 2025

    Give a listen… Mule kicks of the conversation at The Outliers Inn with the season wrap of robots season.

    The Euro’s Future Can Be Found in the Dollar’s Past

    ByJoseph Paris September 12, 2011February 18, 2026

    I have been quizzed by some readers, “What do currencies in general – and the challenges facing the Euro and its member countries in particular – have to do with Operational Excellence?” For that matter, what do discussions that involve “geo-politics” have to do with Operational Excellence? Both are very fair questions.
