On today's show, I have Afshin Zahraee who is a Visiting Instructor/Professor in Mechanical and Civil Engineering Technology at Purdue Northwest.

Afshin and I have been friends for nearly 10 years (fun fact: we even lived in a fraternity together one summer, long story!) and I'm so excited to bring him onto the show.

Afshin shares why he decided to become a professor and the process it takes, his biggest struggles throughout his career, what people misconceive about professors, funny emails from his students (don't worry, no names are shared!), and so much more.

Excited for you to tune in and hope you enjoy!
