IMPACTFUL INTERVIEW with Jorge Quintero, Rice University Alumnus & Electrical Engineer turned Sale Tech Engineer + Brain Performance Coach!
Welcome to Segment 1 of Jorge's Interview!
Full disclaimer, Jorge's successful stem story is so impactful that it made my mom tear up upon listening to it.
Here's why--Jorge speaks on:
1) Living paycheck to paycheck with undocumented parents from Mexico
2) His dad's mental-breakdown from not being able to use his engineering degree in the United States & provide for his family
3) Taking on massive financial & emotional responsibility as the first-born of his siblings
4) The blessing that turned his fear into faith and helped him become an electrical engineer from a prestigious university
BUT SURPRISE! Typical STEM success stories end there, right? Well not on this podcast.
Jorge also discusses:
5) Being unhappy in his position as an engineer and how he left it regardless of his family's dissent
6) The multiple career pivots he made until he got to where he is now!

The tool that truly helped Jen create a peaceful space was Yoga with Adriene, and as promised in the episode, here is her Youtube link in the shownotes: https://www.youtube.com/user/yogawithadriene
ATTENTION STUDENTS: are you guilty of this? Raise your hand if:
🙋♀️ you’ve chosen/avoided a class or professor based on another student’s opinion. (Rate my Professor, Koofers, word of mouth on campus??)
🙋♀️you listen to music, scroll Instagram, or plain zone-out during syllabus day because it’s not the “real” course content yet📱
🙋♀️ or... you only come to the first day of lecture to make sure you aren’t dropped from the class. After that, it’s back to bed 😴
Your listening gear is set to ABOUT rather than FOR & that doesn’t help you create a semester of ease.
Today’s episode of @enjeneerpodcast is all about changing HOW you listen, especially on syllabus day. Making this small & simple listening shift can:
🙌 change how you experience your entire semester
🙌 help build self-trust in your OWN voice, opinion, & intuition
(you know what more trust means.... less worry/stress!)
🙌 set you up to stay present & mindful throughout the entire semester
Listen to this ~10 minute episode to find out why #firstimpressionsummary is your best first-day-of-school-tool.

Join our instagram community for IG Lives every Monday to set our Soulful Stem Statement of the Week! This statement will carry you through our work-week worries. Once you've made it to Friday, a new episode of enJENeer Podcast will be waiting for you.
Bonus: when you DM me a snapshot of your 5star iTunes review, I'll send you my personal "Stressed Stem to Aligned Gem Method".
Today’s episode highlights Jen’s, perfectly imperfect, personal journey from stressed STEM student—to aligned, soulful STEM GEM. She touches on: 1) choosing engineering at age 13 & how that affected the rest of her school choices. 2) the two catalysts that shifted her from school-centered, to soul-centered 3) how she aims to help students like you prevent the pain points she’s experienced, so you can call in your ideal work-life harmony much sooner than she did. Ps. Today’s episode went completely different than I had planned & I faced obstacles recording it, editing it, & uploading it. But when you listen to the episode, you’ll realize that this fits just perfectly with the entire theme. Thanks for the lesson, Universe. INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/enjeneerpodcast
Go from STRESSED STEM to ALIGNED GEM
We're gonna mix the woo with the do--the woo with the work--to create the work-life harmony that I know you've been missing because of the demands of your degree
I've reached massive clarity on the real pain-points I'm meant to solve & I'm choosing to immediately dive deep into redesigning a soulful STEM lifestyle for all of us!
Listen to this season if you want to stop the incessant stress & overwhelm, and start showing up to your semester from a heart-centered, aligned space!
If you've come to this episode, then that means you're ready for change... when you DM me a screenshot of your 5-star iTunes rate & review I’ll send you our STEM to GEM enJENeer GUIDE.
It’s a great tool to have for the soulful and successful semester that you’ve been seeking. My DM's are waiting for you: https://instagram.com/enjeneerpodcast
SOLO EPISODE: Jen doesn't just outline how to overcome indecision, but she explains how it can be a powerful self-awareness tool. Use it to your personal advantage!
