The Happy Engineer | Career Success for Engineering Leadership: Recent Episodes
Zach White
The Happy Engineer helps engineering leaders reach the next level without suffering burnout - because success without fulfillment is failure. You will discover how to redefine work/life balance and lead with purpose, while accelerating your next promotion. Bring a growth mindset, engineers... It's time for personal development before technical development, emotional intelligence (EQ) before IQ, and coaching to crush your comfort zone!
If you find yourself asking questions like these, then this show is for you:
-
How do I decide between a technical career path or management? Can I ever go back?
-
How do I reignite passion and purpose in my engineering career (or just stop dreading Monday)?
-
Why am I not getting promoted to Manager / Director / VP (and my peers are)?
-
How can I increase my salary and total compensation faster?
-
What should I do if I want to change discipline, industry, or even leave engineering?
-
What does it take to move from engineering to entrepreneurship?
-
WHY AM I SO UNHAPPY???
Your host, Zach White, knows how frustrating building your engineering career can be. As an engineer himself, he climbed the corporate ladder. He's seen (and survived) it all. He's felt stuck, been burned out from 80-hour weeks, suffered under a bad boss, and had his career plan thwarted multiple times by corporate reorgs.
You know the worst part? He lived below his full potential.
Ultimately Zach found incredible success in his career, but it was not without trials, failure, and a rock-bottom experience with burnout.
Each week, the former engineering leader, now turned CEO and sought-after Lifestyle Engineering Coach, will help you create an action plan to level up your career while designing a life you love.
Enjoy inspiring conversations with experts from all corners of industry and life. Learn how to overcome any career obstacle you face. Get off the road to burnout.

You don’t need more networking events. You need a sponsor. Do you know the difference?
In this episode, I break down the #1 reason why most engineering leaders struggle to find great mentors—and how to fix it. If you’ve ever felt unsure about who to ask, how to build that relationship, or whether you even need a mentor, you’re not alone. I walk you through a simple, three-level framework that takes you from getting advice to securing a sponsor—someone who will actually go to bat for you when it matters most.
Plus, we take a page from Tony Robbins’ playbook on how he built a world-class network of mentors to fast-track his success. I’ll share practical strategies you can use right now to expand your circle, make the right asks, and unlock career-changing relationships.
If you’re tired of waiting for growth to happen and ready to take control of your future, this episode is for you.
So press play and let’s chat… about the mentors who will change your career.

If you had to rehire your entire team today, would you enthusiastically say yes to every person?
In this episode, I share the story of Greg, who found himself trapped in a lose-lose leadership dilemma—step in and fix his team’s mistakes, or delegate and risk failure. Sound familiar?
Greg had been making great progress in his leadership journey, but when pressure hit, he fell back into old habits of doing instead of leading. The result? More hours, more stress, and creeping burnout.
Together, we unpacked the real issue—not just delegation, but the hidden cost of keeping underperformers on the team. I share the most important leadership question that will transform how you assess and develop your team, and we break down the two clear choices every leader must make: coach them up, or coach them out.
If you’ve ever struggled with letting go of work, managing underperformance, or balancing leadership with workload, this one’s for you.
So press play and let’s chat… Are you leading your team, or covering for them?

Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you push, your goals just aren’t happening fast enough?
In this episode, I’m sharing some of the best advice I’ve ever received—advice that completely changed how I approach success and personal growth.
A few episodes ago, I talked about the worst advice I’ve ever heard, and today, we’re flipping the script. I’ll take you back to a pivotal coaching session where I realized my frustration with "slow progress" was actually self-imposed. I’ll also share two experiences—one at an amusement park and another in my business—that taught me the power of patience, surrender, and presence.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re not moving fast enough toward your goals, this episode is for you. You’ll learn why chasing speed can actually slow you down and how shifting your mindset can make your vision a reality sooner than you think.
So press play and let’s chat…are you stuck in the waiting game or embracing the ride?

In this episode, we tackle one of the biggest issues in engineering and tech: digital addiction.
Digital screen use throttles our creativity and heightens our anxiety - a bad mix for engineering leadership today, and worse for the leaders of tomorrow.
Jennie Ketcham Crooks, an anxiety and OCD specialist from Seattle, explores in her research how pervasive smartphone and device use impacts us on both a career and cultural level.
She has been featured as a guest lecturer at Harvard University, and has recently appeared on a number of popular television shows from Headline News and The View, to Oprah.
As our digital overconsumption continues to be fed with the release of each shiny new gadget, it’s become increasingly challenging to put down our screens and interact meaningfully with the world and people around us. This constant barrage of digital engagement negatively affects both the quality of our relationships and our mental health.
Jenny and I discuss her new book, 'Look Up: A 30 Day Path to Digital Minimalism and Real Life Maximalism', which offers practical steps to eliminate the negative effects of digital overload.

In this episode, as we celebrate the 200th installment of the Happy Engineer Podcast, I reflect on the incredible journey we've had together.

In this episode, meet my old colleague and good friend, Jonathan Boyer.
He is a Principal Engineer at Stryker, a leading Medical Equipment Manufacturing company whose products impact more than 130 million healthcare patients annually.
Jonathan had the same problem most engineers face, and in fact, you might say it’s not a problem.
There were some parts of his job he loved to do, and some things he had to do… and the “have to” category was bigger than the “love to.”
He decided it was time to change that reality. Jonathan set an intention that his next role would be SOLELY based on his passions and what he loves to do.
That role didn’t exist at Stryker.
It does now, and we’ll show you how.
So press play and let’s chat… because it’s time to create the job of your dreams!

Plus, I offer a practical tool, the Pain Pleasure Matrix, to help you refocus your energy towards your desired future.

Dave led the firewalk for personal development legend Tony Robbins at his Unleash the Power Within events for 20 years, before starting his own company and bringing this experience to corporate teams and most recently, veterans.
I personally experienced walking on fire in 2019 and it changed my life.
But this conversation is more than discovering the magic of firewalking (literally, it makes no sense how it’s possible). It’s a story of redemption, impact, and the boost we all need to get back out there and achieve our biggest dream.

I share how, despite his impressive background, David's long-winded communication hindered his progress. From experiences like this, I've learned the critical importance of clear and concise communication in career advancement.

Whether it's in emails or conversations, brevity saves time and fosters clarity. By adopting this habit, engineers can project authority, autonomy, and decisiveness, crucial qualities for effective leadership.

If your career lacks fulfillment, impact, or balance… he explains that you’re probably playing the wrong game.
What Jay learned as a top trainer at Tesla, where he was responsible for helping the most talented leaders in the EV industry rise to an even higher level, is that people fail to reach their full potential at work because stress, anxiety, or burnout keep them stuck.
He developed a method proven across hundreds of leaders in dozens of industries that turns career building into a GAME, four steps to a fulfilling, impactful, and balanced career.
Now CEO of his own career consulting company, Jay is helping leaders like you to be resilient, perform better, lead better, and work better with others.

This is not a passive listen; it's a call to intentional action and goal setting. The promotion playbook becomes vital for engineering leaders seeking results, promotions, and a fulfilling lifestyle.
I introduce the three essential plays: deciding goals, reconnecting them to purpose, and executing the ultimate results cycle. This system, when executed consistently, transforms accumulated knowledge into kinetic energy, fostering quicker achievement of big goals.
So press play and let's make 2024 your most successful year yet!

In this episode, meet Steve Gamlin, a man who blew up his life at age 35, then rose from the ashes to become a force for motivation and personal growth.
Remember Lieutenant Dan from the movie Forrest Gump, shouting at God in the storm? Have you ever been so upset with your life you feel like giving up?
Steve did, and you’ll hear about his golfing in a lightning storm moment to prove it.
There is one reason I had to have him on the podcast. Steve has become a master of VISION. Vision boards, in particular… and without vision, you perish.
Drawing from a decade in the radio industry, 7 years of stand-up comedy and a 30+ year personal development journey, Steve teaches us to ‘SEE’ our desired outcomes, understand our ‘WHY’...then build Action Plans to achieve them.
So press play and let’s chat… your future depends on it.

In this episode, we reconnect with a true renaissance man, Cary Jack.
I spent five days in the back-country wilderness with Cary in Montana on one of his Epic Mastermind Adventures and can tell you, he has cracked the code on Blissful Balance.
Cary played semi-pro soccer in Barcelona, studied kung fu and tai chi from a world-renowned master, is an avid outdoorsman and horse-loving cowboy currently living in Montana, and has significant achievements in biohacking, modeling, acting, and oh yeah… entrepreneurship.
He appeared on the podcast in episode 034 where we covered his secret to Blissful Balance. I highly recommend you jump back and check it out as well..
Now almost two years later, Cary is a new dad and has been challenged in new ways to find balance. Through this experience, and having coached hundreds of entrepreneurs who know what it means to be busy… Cary has taken his signature work and book, “The Happy Hustle” to a whole new level.
So press play and let’s chat… because we never stop finding balance as life changes and grows!

In this episode, skip ahead 40 years of experience and learn from someone else’s mistakes what it takes to succeed at work with Dr. Robert “Bob” Santer.
Bob knows that transitioning new engineers into professionals who can blend in and contribute to the technical organization is, at best, doubtful.
Worse still, you and I both know that even a decade later as engineering managers, we still have huge gaps in what it takes to succeed outside our technical acumen!
Bob has his PhD in Engineering from the University of Michigan, GO BLUE! He has over 40 years of domestic and international industry experience in the aerospace and automotive fields as an engineering management professional, including Boeing and the Ford Motor Company.
If you love to learn, and you want to succeed as an engineering leader, then you’ll love Bob’s rigorous organizational framework to operate from.
He delivers guidance using a dual approach of academic insight and decades of hands-on professional experience.
So press play and let’s chat… it’s amazing how fast you can go when you navigate with the right compass!

In this episode, meet the VP of Engineering at Freeosk, Megan Ford.
Now a female engineering executive, her career path was a winding road and ups, downs and lots of challenges. But she held on to a core belief that you must keep an open mind, ask lots of questions, and be willing to make decisions.
Megan shares how self doubt can be really loud when facing a big transition, and you suddenly feel like you have to learn everything all over again. You might also be surprised to hear that Megan, a top performer, was let go.
That was something she never expected to face in her career. But it happens and it is 1000% ok.
We dig into the reality of career building: Not every job, role, boss, is going to be a good fit. Reflect and move on.
And if you’re a woman in engineering, this conversation will be doubly encouraging.
Megan loves the outdoors as everything is better outside, and coffee, because everything is better with coffee also.
So press play and let’s chat… the path for your career growth begins now!

He began to rethink life. Having lost passion for his job and feeling unfulfilled and directionless, it looked like a midlife crisis. But instead of a crisis, he created a midlife awakening.
Don’t miss the nudges that can keep you away from burnout and missing out on your best life.
Agi is the host of the “Personal Development Mastery” podcast, and has interviewed legends of success like Brian Tracy, Mark Victor Hansen, and Dr. John Demartini.
So press play and let’s chat… so you can avoid disaster and become a master of your future!

If you want to make an impact through technology, and can’t decide if Fortune 100 or Inc. 1000 is right for you, or you struggle to make hard choices in engineering your career… then you are going to love learning from Pete.

After that, he co-founded and served as CEO of Smyte, an anti-abuse provider that was acquired by Twitter. During these experiences he discovered the keys to building and leading a data engineering team, and making hard choices like selecting an app’s tech stack.
Now, Pete is the CEO of Elementl which builds Dagster, an open-source data orchestration tool.
So press play and let’s chat… if 2 billion users are benefitting from Pete’s hard choices, you can too.

In this episode, we cover the essential skills for success that no one taught you.
Meet Mark Herschberg, a software engineering and cryptography expert, author, career builder, entrepreneur, and instructor for MIT’s “career success accelerator.”
The truth is that your engineering degree was not designed with success at work in mind. Colleges and universities have tried to address the problem, but the root causes go too deep. And frankly, it’s not their job to help you succeed at work. That’s YOUR job.
You must develop these skills, and even more importantly PRACTICE them, if you want to accelerate your career!
We cover the best way to do that in this conversation. If you’ll implement what Mark and I share, you’ll see change and growth faster than you can imagine.
So press play and let’s chat… it’s time to optimize your career & life for what really matters!

-
Lost his job during the economic recession.
-
Had his car repossessed.
-
And had his home foreclosed.
Talk about a year of worst-case scenarios! Yet Michael sees this as a positive, because it gave him a second chance to rebuild from scratch, and learn how to prevent burnout permanently.
He’s going to bring that wisdom and actionable insights for daily life to build your career without suffering burnout.

Want to be a legend? How strong are you?
Not just your physical muscles. Your heart muscles? Your mind muscles? Your soul muscles?
In this episode, meet a man who knows how important it is to do the work and strengthen your whole person, the Legendary CEO, Tommy Breedlove.
While living a “Wolf of Wall Street” life, Tommy woke up flat on his back, lying in a ditch half-dressed, unsure how he got there, feeling alone… and decided it was time to change his life.
Just 3 years later he had doubled his (already extremely high) income, made Senior Partner, and was elected to the Board of Directors at age 39 when everyone else was in their 60’s.
More importantly, his marriage went from life-support to rock-solid, and his life went from loud uncertainty to quiet confidence.
Tommy is the Wall Street Journal and USA Today Best Selling Author of the Book, “Legendary” and the founder of the Legendary Life Movement.… A movement that empowers driven people to be Pros in Leadership, Business, Mindset, & their Relationships.
So press play and let’s chat… it’s time to stop chasing the ghost of “more” & “when” and lean-in to the Legendary leader and human you were born to be!

Why me? Why do I have to be different? Why is life not fair?
If you've ever asked a question like that in your life, then you are going to deeply connect with our powerful conversation.
In this episode, the amazing Jessica Cox brings a message that you will never forget. Before I tell you why Jessica grew up asking these questions with frustration and anger, let me tell you that Jessica is now a motivational speaker who's been featured on shows like Ellen, CNN, National Geographic, Fox and Friends, and the BBC News. Her speaking career spans 17 years, 27 countries and audiences of up to 40,000 people.
This is a message of hope, of achieving the impossible.
Jessica was born without arms, and she now uses her feet the way that most people use their hands! She flies airplanes and is the first licensed pilot with no arms, she drives cars, she's married, and otherwise lives a normal life.
She is going to invite you into something bigger, to overcome your apparent disabilities or disadvantages in your career, and to step into your own courage, confidence, and greatness.
So press play and let’s chat… it’s time to break the barrier of the impossible and do it anyway!

Do you struggle with analysis-paralysis? Overthinking?
Engineering leaders thrive on intelligence… But what do you do when you are stuck in your head?
In this episode, you will see what extreme intelligence combined with extraordinary heartfelt emotion looks like in my good friend, Dr. Daniel Harner.
Some people call Dr. Harner a psycho-spiritual mentor, therapist, healer, spiritual guide, wizard, Carl Jung 2.0, researcher and explorer. The truth is, Daniel is a blend of all of that.
Originally from Austria, he transplanted himself to Sedona, Arizona at the age of 24 in order to deeply immerse himself in the study and practice of psychotherapy and psycho-spiritual transformation and healing, alongside some of the world's most esteemed psychotherapists, spiritual teachers, researchers, and healers.
Daniel holds a Bachelor and Master of Science degree in Psychology, a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology, and a doctorate in Clinical Psychology. He is the smartest person in the room, but he’s not stuck in his head.
So press play and let’s chat… as we discover how to integrate ourselves fully, both in science and spirit!

Is winning a result?
My guest today said NO.
In this episode, you will hear from peak performance junkie and world-renown coach, James Reid (known as J.R.), that winning is a LIFESTYLE.

This conversation literally brought tears to my eyes. It’s that powerful.
I would listen to it twice, at least. I already did.

Do you know the most important function of your body, and why it’s incredibly important to your success?
Are you struggling with stress? Burnout?
What if your negative stress at work is actually caused by something completely different, and has nothing to do with your work at all?
In this episode, meet the Health Detective and World’s Best Self-Care Coach, Susan Birch. She holds a Masters Degree in Health Sciences, and Postgraduate Diplomas in Sports Medicine, Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation, COP Musculoskeletal Medicine, and COP Community Nutrition from Otago University.
Susan has spent a lifetime challenging the mainstream dogma about exercise and nutrition. She understands the challenges people face in finding accurate, science-based nutrition and health information.
But beyond her 40 years of experience changing lives through changing the body, the real reason you will be changed by this conversation is her courage.
Susan contracted meningococcal meningitis when she was two years old, which left her with seemingly insurmountable odds against academic success. She overcame those odds, and is one of the brightest minds in her field.
So press play and let’s chat… your body, and your life, depends on it!

Internalizing anything and everything that goes wrong, until you feel like you’re just a bad person.

What’s been the toughest test of your life? Did it involve being underwater, with your instructor shutting off your oxygen, pushing your body to its physical limits, feeling immense fear, all while being graded on perfect procedures?
Did I mention most people fail, and you only get four attempts to pass?
In this episode, meet former Navy SEAL operator, Josiah Kauffman. He is a self-proclaimed complete nerd in high school, who felt a calling to serve after the tragic events of 9/11, and trained his way to the top of the top for elite warriors.
He understands better than anyone the importance of having a mental edge.
After serving in combat, Josiah instructed 400+ men in Basic Underwater Demolition / SEAL (BUD/S) training. Arguably the toughest training program on earth.
Now he brings his elite performance training and tactical leadership experience to the civilian sector, and is the founder of The Warrior Calling.
The nerd didn’t leave him while on tour, as Josiah also holds a Masters Degree in Cybersecurity. How many humans can teach you elite self-defense, and protect you on the internet?
So press play and let’s chat… it’s time for Basic Engineer Mental Edge training!

Who is this guy, Zach White? Umm… that’s me. Have you ever wondered why The Happy Engineer Podcast was started, and what convinced me to become a CEO and Lifestyle Engineering Coach?
Now is your chance to get the inside story, and ask the questions!
In this episode, the tables are turned and I’m on the other side of the microphone as your guest! I did not know where this conversation would go, because it’s not a solo show.
I’m being interviewed by behind-the-scenes man of the hour, Daniel Powell.
We dig into my own rock bottom moments with burnout and divorce.
We go back to my engineering origins and what I’ve learned that changed my life forever.
And we answer one of the most common questions I get from engineering leaders every week, “Why did you quit a super successful career to start OACO?”
PLUS, we introduce our new Q&A opportunity where you can participate in The Happy Engineer Podcast, by submitting your questions for me to answer in future episodes.
So press play and let’s chat… because now it’s your turn to ask the questions!

What are you the best in the world at? Most engineering leaders give a blank stare when asked that question. Full confession, so did I.
How do you become your own superhero in life?
In this episode, meet the man affectionately known as the World’s Best Courage Coach, Laban Ditchburn. He teaches people to bet on themselves.
A child badly affected by divorce, poverty and dysfunction, Laban sought validation and escapism in all the wrong places.
But through self-discovery and a ton of hard work, he conquered the full gamut of addiction—alcohol, sex, gambling, drugs, and negative self-talk.
By understanding and then reverse-engineering the root cause, giving up his addictions was almost effortless.
Now he revels in unabashedly sharing what he’s learned: How to conquer the demons you don’t know you have, and how to be unstoppable in getting to where you want to be.
So press play and let’s chat… because it’s time to bet on you!

Let me tell you a story about the day storytelling died. Once upon a time…
Wait, WHAT? Isn’t storytelling timeless?
In this episode, global strategist and leadership coach, Guillaume Wiatr, will show you the importance of building strategic narratives. He is the Founder of MetaHelm, a consulting firm which guides CEOs and Founders to align people and accelerate innovation adoption.
For Guillaume, traditional business storytelling is dead. Innovation happens when you build a new narrative instead. As he says, "people will pay for a story, but they will die for a narrative".
We explore his custom 4-dimensions framework leveraged by senior executives of companies like Alaska Airlines, The Gates Foundation, AIG, L'Oréal, Google, Microsoft, and the US and French governments (to name a few).
And you can apply it to building your career.
So press play and let’s chat… How do you like that story?

How does injustice show up in your workplace? Are you in the 5% of leaders who see injustice, are committed to change, and do something about it?
Do you know what it feels like to be on the receiving end of injustice, and become alienated at work?
In this episode, I have the privilege of speaking with former senior advisor to President Barack Obama, and the world’s leading authority on Socially Conscious Leadership, Anton Gunn.
When a 6’4″ and 290 lbs former college football offensive lineman steps up to the podium at the White House, everyone in the room listens.

Anton has a Masters Degree in Social Work from USC and was a Resident Fellow at Harvard. He is the bestselling author of The Presidential Principles, and has been featured in TIME Magazine, the Wall Street Journal, INC Magazine, BBC, NPR, and on Good Morning America.
But what makes Anton truly great is his heart for people, and desire to help courageous leaders overcome injustice at work.
So press play and let’s chat… with one of the truly inspirational leaders of our time!

Confused between a big “brand name” company career, versus joining a small “hip & cool” startup? How can you know which will be a great fit? What are you most afraid of?
In this episode, face fear, overcome imposter syndrome and find your perfect fit with Kate Terrell. Her life was changed by “9/11” (September 11, 2001 being in Manhattan). Since then, her success and resume in developing talent is too long to outline.

But it’s not her stratospheric accomplishments that will draw you into this conversation. Kate is an engineer’s executive. She looked at the worst case scenario, faced her fears, and took action.
It’s what she learned about integrating work and life along the way that you don’t want to miss.
So press play and let’s chat -- face fear and take action toward the career and life of your dreams!

In this inaugural episode of The Happy Engineer, I ask the question that bothers me every day: Why are so many engineers around the world frustrated? Burned out? Stressed to the point of sickness? Why are engineers… unhappy? Something must change.
I’ll share with you my own story of how I hit rock bottom as an engineer seeking career success. How a single note brought my world to a standstill. Screw the five whys.
And ultimately, how I went on from total failure to create bigger results in my career impact and income than I ever expected, while designing a life I love. At the root of my transformation is one concept you will learn all about - the COURAGE to be happy.
