Episode 42: The Engineering Career You Always Wanted with Zach White
Episode 42. The path to becoming an engineer may appear easy to some, but it’s not. It takes good grades, practice, reading and lots of time. Eventually you hit the world of work and it isn’t quite as easy as your favourite math, physics or programming challenge. Zach White was on a leading path to the top of his company as an engineer, just like he always wanted and hoped. Then he realized it wasn’t what he wanted anymore, but didn’t know why or what it meant.
This set him on a journey to find out what was “wrong” with him, so he could like work better. Today he hosts The Happy Engineer, a podcast that helps engineering leaders reach the next level without suffering burnout. He also founded Oasis of Courage, a coaching company that specifically supports leaders in engineering.
As Greg and Zach discuss on this episode, it isn’t always easy knowing what you want - lots about the world of work and your happiness is in your head…but it’s not always easy to understand.
Episode 24: The Modern Engineering Career Strategy with Adrien Beyk
Adrien Beyk is an engineer and entrepreneur on a mission. Instead of a down payment on a home, he started a business and never looked back.
The company he created is working hard to revolutionize socks and gloves, with an app that controls their temperature. But, his goals are beyond that. He thinks you don’t learn enough with a typical degree at university and the true way to get ahead in the world is starting something and learning by doing. The world is moving too fast and all the knowledge is right there, but how you learn it makes all the difference.
Technology and engineering should be about being different, thinking in new ways and changing the way we do things. This episode is all about that.
