78 - Finding Your "Hidden Gem" - Civil Engineer in Iraq to Design Team Lead in D.C. w/ Sairan Aqrawi
2026/01/04
Sairan Aqrawi began her engineering journey at the University of Mosul in Iraq where she studied Civil Engineering. After starting her Civil Engineering Career in Iraq, Sairan was evacuated to Guam as part of Operation Pacific Haven, from where she was eventually granted political asylum and began her life in the United States. Sairan has since extended her engineering career here in the United States, culminating now to her role as a Design Coordinator Team Lead for her regional Transit Authority.
In addition to her engineering career, Sairan has leveraged her experience to mentor professionals in all stages of career transition, from immigrating to the United States to her current niche, where she helps mid-life women grow their impact and income in their career.
I had such a wonderful time interviewing Sairan and hope you enjoy listening to this interview as much as I enjoyed hosting it!

74 - Unlocking the "Third Element" - Leverage Emotional Awareness into Career Success w/ Randy Lyman
2025/07/20
Randy Lyman, The Purpose-Driven Leader, combines decades of business experience with a deep commitment to fostering emotional intelligence, spiritual grounding, and transformational leadership. His area of expertise is leading from a place of strength through vulnerability, creating cultures where authenticity and emotional connection drive high performance.
I had such a wonderful time interviewing Randy and hope you enjoy listening to this interview as much as I enjoyed hosting it!
His book, The Third Element, which was released on March 19, 2025, makes these complex concepts accessible and actionable. It reveals the missing piece in manifestation that most people overlook—emotions. Randy teaches how unhealed emotional patterns can secretly shape our reality and how to transform them into a powerful tool for attracting abundance and fulfillment.
His own pivotal moment came after achieving material success but recognizing the emotional disconnection and stress that limited both his potential and his team’s. This awakening led him to focus on emotional awareness and belonging, which became the catalyst for dramatic business growth and renewed purpose.
Today, Randy shares his principles with individuals and organizations seeking clarity, connection, and authentic transformation. His teachings equip others to harness emotional intelligence, build meaningful relationships, and turn inner healing into outward success.

68 - From MIT to the ISS to Semiconductor Wafer Manufacturing at ASM - How I Got Here w/Sue Wong
2024/12/16
Interested in a career in semiconductor manufacturing?
Check out ASM's website here: https://careers.asm.com/global/en/
My guest on todays episode of the podcast is a Mechanical Engineering graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and started her career designing components of the International Space Station. Yeah... that MIT... and that International Space Station. After a solid start to her career at Honeywell, Sue Wong then went to Motorola where she continued her career in Mechanical Engineering. Now Sue is at the center of the engineering and technology world, working as a Mechanical Engineer at ASM.
According to ASM's website:
"Chips (or integrated circuits) make the impossible possible. Technologies that were once unthinkable become real: from autonomous vehicles to the next gaming console. Our technology enables the production of those chips."
Sue has been making the impossible possible for her entire career, always holding a major role in achieving the cutting edge of all engineering throughout her career.
I had such a wonderful time interviewing Sue and hope you enjoy listening to this interview as much as I enjoyed hosting it!
