Vote “YES” for the American Innovator

By Ron Pereira Published on December 13th, 2010

Paul Akers and Jon Lussier are lean thinking business leaders I admire immensely.

For the past year they have brought their energy and enthusiasm for lean and business to the AM radio show called The American Innovator.

This show runs weekly on Saturdays at 8AM PST and takes a lot of work. Paul Akers and Jon Lussier would like to hear the voice of the customer, the listener, the members of the lean community – you – on whether they should run the show for another year.

I personally believe the show has important contributions to make as we all work to spread lean thinking ideas to the rest of the world. If you agree, please take the time to vote “yes” via one of these three ways to keep the show on the air:

  • SMS or call Jon Lussier at +1-360-961-1000
  • Send an e-mail to paul at FastCap dot com
  • Facebook: Click the “Like” button with the thumbs up besides The American Innovator at the top of the page

The voting has started, and continues through the month of December. Let’s see if we can get at least 1,000 “yes” votes for keeping The American Innovator on the air.

    I guess the show has survived… I will be Paul’s guest on both 1/22 and 1/29.

    The American Innovator and the dynamite powerhouses behind the Lean efforts and the Fastcap company, are reflecting back on their year on the air and contemplating the future…
