In this episode, Darren Flynn is joined by Laura Miranda and Sohan Roopra—hosts of You Don’t Look Like an Engineer—for a thought-provoking conversation about reimagining engineering through the lens of storytelling, representation, and personal experience. They share the origin story behind their own podcast, reflect on what it means to be visible in an industry that often celebrates silence, and discuss how metrics can reveal hidden biases in who gets heard.

Together, they unpack why engineers struggle with branding, the tension between self-promotion and credibility, and the emotional toll that comes with doing good while doing too much. From podcasting challenges to powerful insights around identity and impact, this episode highlights storytelling as a strategy for real change—and makes a compelling case for a more human, inclusive future in engineering.

Whether you're just starting out, mentoring the next generation, or somewhere in between, this is a conversation that will stay with you.
