In this brief first‑person account, the speaker recounts the founding of EWI three years ago after a friend in manufacturing called for help. The friend’s company generated $15 million in revenue but only $500 k in profit, prompting a request for efficiency improvements. The speaker, initially working alone and without prior manufacturing experience, stepped in, implemented efficiency measures, and enjoyed the process. Over three years the effort evolved from a solo side‑project into the core business of EWI, now staffed by a ten‑person team dedicated to providing the same efficiency‑focused service to manufacturers.

EWI started now 3 years ago helping a friend who was in need. So he just called me out of the blue and said, I've got a manufacturing business, we're on $15 million, we're only taking home $500,000, I need you to get here and do what you did for your business. I'm like, what was that? Because I wasn't in manufacturing. I need you to make them efficient. We got in there, we did it. I say we, at the time it was only me. I did it, I loved it, I kept on doing it. 3 years later, that's all that we do, and now there's 10 of us who do it.
