Cut Chips, Not Profits: Managing Labor Like a Pro

Let's be real — the fastest way to torch your profit isn't a bad part or a missed deadline. It's when your labor starts running you instead of the other way around. In this episode of My TRUE POSITION, I'm breaking down the difference between direct and indirect labor — and why blurring that line could be quietly bleeding your margin dry. I'll walk through how to track it, what numbers to watch, and how a simple shift in visibility turned things around in my own shop. If you want to stop guessing where your money's going and start managing labor like a pro, this one's for you.
