American manufacturing is facing a major workforce crisis—with an estimated 2.1 million jobs potentially unfilled by 2030. But what if the solution is already trained and ready? This week, Lori and Erin talk with Ben Kohler, leader of the Next Frontier Advanced Manufacturing Institute (NFAMI), about how his organization is solving two problems at once: helping veterans transition into civilian careers and filling manufacturing talent gaps.

Ben shares how NFAMI provides tuition-free, hands-on training in welding and CNC machining to veterans, military spouses, and their adult children. Based in Montana but ripe for national expansion, the program turns military discipline and technical know-how into highly sought-after manufacturing skills.
