Listen "Ethan Karp Gets Frank with Frank “Sully” Sullivan"
Episode Synopsis
Today’s guest is Frank “Sully” Sullivan—CEO of DayGlo Color Corp, the Cleveland company that invented fluorescent color. Ethan and Sully talk about what it’s like to lead a company where most of the workforce is older than you are, how radical transparency helps rebuild trust, and why sometimes the best operations fix is to simply “turn the dials up to 11.” They also talk about the future of Industry 4.0, what makes Northeast Ohio competitive, and what’s on the horizon for manufacturing.
