Hey, Reader.

I had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Carla Sayan on the podcast. She's a Systems Engineering Associate Director, but what exactly does that role entail?

As always, when I have a guest with a PhD that works in industry, I'm eager to learn about their educational journey and how it shapes their work. And since our podcast is all about public speaking, we also explored Dr. Sayan's insights on effective communication.

All for now. Have a great week!
