Julie McIntosh: Overcoming challenges through resilience and determination

Every entrepreneur starts their business full of dreams. 

Whether it’s innovating a better product or service, creating wealth, building a life to be proud of, or changing the world in some way, engineers are no different.
 
’Engineering Success’ is a podcast about keeping your dreams alive when things get tough. Because even the strongest technical skills can get overwhelmed by the endless demands of building a business, and one day, you realise that even the best product or service isn’t enough to guarantee success.
 
‘Engineering Success’ features engineering and industrial leaders chatting candidly about their journey to long-term success: the challenges they encountered, the lessons they learned and the solutions they put in place.
 
Whether you’re an engineering consultancy, an industrial service provider, or a manufacturer, you’ll hear actionable insights from your peers on how they established strong company cultures, systemised operations, leveraged sales and marketing to generate customers consistently, overcame financial challenges, faced increasing competition, adapted to change and managed growth.

The host, Rick Merten, has been running his own business for over two decades, partnering with hundreds of SMES to help them achieve sustainable success. Rick’s ambition with this podcast is to let entrepreneurial engineers know you are not alone, and to share real-world insights that will help you engineer your success and build a better business.
