Re:Engineered is a podcast for engineers and technical professionals navigating the shift from technical excellence to leadership responsibility.

Hosted by Chris Stasiuk, a professional engineer with over 25 years in engineering consulting and leadership roles, the show treats leadership, communication, and decision-making as systems to understand — not personality traits to fake. No buzzwords. No corporate theater. Just clear thinking about how technical people actually lead.
