Podcast
In 2014, Jim Carr stepped into professional podcasting with a clear advantage—he wasn’t talking about manufacturing from the outside. He was living it every day. That authenticity became the foundation for MakingChips, one of the first podcasts dedicated entirely to modern manufacturing and machining.
What began as an experiment quickly gained traction. Within three months, MakingChips landed on Apple’s New & Noteworthy, and the audience scaled fast. The show went on to generate millions of downloads, spawn live speaking engagements, and attract long-term, lucrative sponsorships. Built on real shop-floor experience and unfiltered conversations, MakingChips ultimately became the #1 manufacturing podcast.
my TRUE POSITION
In 2023, he launched his solo project, my TRUE POSITION, continuing his commitment to give back to the manufacturing community. The mission remains the same—share real-world leadership, operational insight, and hard-earned lessons with the next generation, while honoring the industry that shaped his career.
