In this 4th of July episode, we step away from the usual technical deep dive to reflect on the 250th anniversary of the United States through a personal lens. Howard shares perspectives shaped by growing up in Canada and the U.S., serving in the Navy, traveling internationally, working across industries, and watching how people, culture, discipline, and opportunity influence the way we build a future.
The episode also connects that personal journey to the next chapter: Human Reliability Intelligence Labs, where lessons from machinery reliability, athletics, decision-making, data, and human performance come together.
Freedom is not free. Independence is earned. Reliability is built.
