The meeting discussed the availability of audiobooks for Nicholas Orr's fiction books, including the Pipe Hitters Novel Series, now accessible on Amazon.
The professor explained the process of creating audiobooks, noting the previous complexities and the recent simplification by Amazon, making it more affordable for independent authors. They also mentioned a brief technical issue with Amazon's website, which affected access to the audiobooks.
The discussion concluded with an announcement of an upcoming tech talk, focusing on a rifle chambered in .22 Nosler and the VUDU-X 1 to 6 optic, with a link to the article provided in the show notes.
The discussion focused on Glock's discontinuation of several pistol models, with Jarrad noting that the G19 Gen 4 and MOS Gen 4 were among the affected models, though the G45 and 19 X-ray remained unchanged.
The professor emphasized that while some customers expressed concern about the changes, the market ultimately decides which models succeed, and manufacturers cannot accommodate every request.
They also discussed how the gun community often criticizes manufacturers for lack of innovation while simultaneously opposing any changes, making it difficult for companies to satisfy their customers.
Jarrad and the professor discussed the unique challenges faced by the firearms industry, particularly regarding political involvement and the need for unapologetic leadership.
Jarrad expressed uncertainty about whether gun enthusiasts truly desire strong leadership, suggesting that potential leaders might hesitate due to doubts about followership.
They also discussed the complex decision-making process companies face when dealing with political pressures, such as the potential loss of sales in certain states, and the impact such decisions could have on employees and their families.
