Author: Trevor Blondeel June 24, 2026 Duration: 35:10

What if the team member you've quietly given up on is the one your plant needs most? Trevor sits down with Nir Eyal, author of the New York Times bestseller Beyond Belief and the global bestsellers Hooked and Indistractable, to apply the three powers of belief (attention, anticipation, agency) to manufacturing talent development. The judgment trap stops development cold. This conversation breaks it open. Manufacturing team leadership starts with the beliefs you carry about the people on your floor.
