Episode transcript
Welcome to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast. So you might have noticed that the world has gone a little bit insane. And to get through this in a way that is sustainable and maybe even joyous, we are going to have to find some crazy wisdom. Which is why I named the podcast Crazy Wisdom. And I try to find guests who are both contrarian and right, as well as people who can help us to understand how we can get through this period of both acceleration as technology accelerates and maybe even a little bit of darkness, as well as some of you may have been noticing, really crazy stuff is happening right now. So my goal with this show is to empower you with crazy wisdom and give you the tools to figure out how to do it on yourself because we can't rely on too much these days. So with that being said, if you like what I'm offering with this show, I'm on Twitter to Stuart Alsop III. My DMs are open. I'd love to hear from you about how the show has affected you. Thanks. Have a great day.
Welcome to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast. My guest is Matt Palmer. He is the founder of General Fabrication and they help people build fabs. And the first question is, what is a fab?
A fab is a production facility that's, you know, not necessarily smaller than a factory, but organ fundamental building blocks that are a lot different than today's machines. Primarily small and expensive commodity robotics.
That's so cool. And so what is. So when you say, when you say factory, I think big, you know, and you're in Michigan, which is fascinating because I think of a big factory with thousands of people going into it. But that's not what you're talking about, is it?
