Episode Details

Sometimes the "broad" major is exactly what helps you find the narrow thing you love. In this clip Wesley explains how.

Guest Wesley Grammer takes Malcolm and Thomas through his path from studying mechanical engineering to pursuing RCL and chip architecture at Georgia Tech. He gets into how exploring the many sides of mechanical engineering — one of the most versatile disciplines out there — gave him the exposure he needed to figure out what actually pulled him, and the confidence to change direction toward it. It's a great reminder that you don't have to pick your niche on day one; sometimes the wide road is how you find it.
