May 04, 2020 Hannah Schaapkens - Electrical Design Engineer & her story from burnout to a Mental Health advocate
This podcast touched on a number of topics while in discussion with an Electrical Building Services Engineer.

Hannah is new to Building Services Engineering coming from international travel in an Oil, Gas & Energy role with Flour.

Her professional challenges include her experience of being a woman in a male-dominated industry and how that contrasts with cultures around the world.

We went on to speak about the challenges faced having started a new role just before the UK lockdown due to COVID-19 and how she has had to adapt despite only working with her team for 3 weeks. Later, with bravery, Hannah shares the stressful and tragic challenges she faced in her personal life, and how she managed to turn things around and now offers mental health support for those who need it.

April 13, 2020 Ashley Allsop - Chartered Engineer, one-man-band, working alone since 2013
Ashley's challenge amid the #COVID19 crisis has nothing to do with working alone. He works on his own and has been doing so since 2013.
He's a chartered engineer, husband, and a dad of 2 - he is a design engineer and runs his won company.
Ashley shares his career storey, how he defined success for himself, when he wanted to be a marine biologist & an astronaut (WHAT?!), and who he still looks up to for inspiration.
