In some recent posts on the Value Capture Blog, I've shared a look back at two conversations from 2011 — and a look at what one of those interviewees is learning and sharing now.
2011 Interview with the Late Paul O'Neill Sr.
In this post, I republished my 2011 interview with the former Alcoa CEO (and more):
Paul H. O'Neill Sr.: A Podcast From 2011 on Safety, Leadership, and More
I re-shared the original Lean Blog Interviews podcast into the Value Capture podcast feed — “Habitual Excellence.”
It holds up very well and I recommend it to anybody who is looking to up their leadership game.
Dr. Rick Shannon
I also interviewed Dr. Shannon in 2011 for my podcast. One of the things we talked about was how he learned from O'Neill.
In this blog post for Value Capture, I shared that podcast and some recent LinkedIn posts from him about what he's learning:
It's Always Good to Hear What Dr. Richard Shannon is Saying
I hope you'll check that out.

Let’s work together to build a culture of continuous improvement and psychological safety. If you're a leader looking to create lasting change—not just projects—I help organizations:
- Engage people at all levels in sustainable improvement
- Shift from fear of mistakes to learning from them
- Apply Lean thinking in practical, people-centered ways
