Will Francis, Executive Director, National Association of Social Workers, Texas and Louisiana Chapters

In this episode of the Think Factory Podcast, Will Francis, Executive Director of the National Association of Social Workers across Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma, shares insights from his journey across frontline social work, government relations, and executive leadership. He reflects on how firsthand exposure to client challenges led him toward advocacy and ultimately into guiding one of the region’s key professional social work associations. Throughout the conversation, he highlights the importance of collaboration across disciplines, communities, and political perspectives, emphasizing that meaningful systems change in behavioral health and social policy only happens when diverse stakeholders come together. Will also explores some of the most pressing issues facing the social work profession today, including workforce reclassification efforts, access to education and professional funding, and the growing role—and limits—of AI in therapeutic spaces. He discusses the balance between innovation and ethical boundaries in mental health care, the ongoing fight for human rights and behavioral health equity, and the importance of self-care in emotionally demanding work. Closing the discussion, he underscores the need for steady, values-driven leadership in uncertain times and shares why staying grounded in community, purpose, and long-term thinking is essential for those working to strengthen both the profession and the systems it serves.

Jon Congdon, Product Consultant/Co-Owner, Skandacor

In this episode of the Think Factory Podcast features John Congdon, Global Channel Partner Manager at Skandacor, sharing insights on how print embellishment is transforming packaging, direct mail, and branded materials. With over 20 years in the industry and a global footprint, Skandacor is helping print producers move beyond standard CMYK output through technologies like digital foiling, lamination, and 3D effects. John explains how these capabilities create more engaging, tactile, and visually impactful products that capture attention and elevate brand perception in competitive markets. The conversation also explores the strong business case behind embellishment, including rapid ROI, increased profitability, and the shift toward short-run, personalized print. As consumer expectations continue to evolve—driven in part by premium packaging and “unboxing” experiences—print providers have new opportunities to differentiate and add value. John highlights how Skandacor’s accessible, easy-to-use solutions are empowering both small and large producers to unlock new revenue streams and rethink what’s possible in modern print.

On this episode of the Think Factory Podcast, we sit down with John Helline, CEO of BindTech, to explore how a five-generation bookbinding legacy has evolved into a modern, multi-location platform focused on innovation and specialty manufacturing.
