What do law enforcement, SWAT operations, and CNC machining have in common? More than you'd think. In this episode of Lights Out, hosts Nick Goellner, Eric Nekich, and Dave Vuyk welcome Johnny Goode, President and Co-owner of MSP Manufacturing in Bloomington, Indiana—a precision aerospace manufacturer that's rapidly transforming its operations with automation and digital processes.
Johnny's journey is anything but typical. From police officer and SWAT team member to Army National Guard sergeant, his story is packed with grit, discipline, and leadership under pressure. When he traded in his badge for a badge of a different kind—the MSP logo—he brought with him the tactical mindset and resilience that now define his company's culture and growth. Today, MSP is running 24/5, leveraging modular workholding, five-axis machining, and ProShop ERP to deliver quality aerospace parts on time, every time.
In this conversation, Johnny opens up about the leadership lessons he carried from the field to the factory floor, how he earned the trust of veteran machinists, and why he believes that culture, values, and integrity are the real foundation for successful automation. From implementing five-axis technology to reducing stress on his shop floor, Johnny proves that the human element still drives even the most automated operations.
If you've ever wondered what it takes to modernize a legacy manufacturer without losing its soul—or how to build trust and innovation into every shift—this episode is one you won't forget.
