Have you ever felt like you're physically present but mentally still at work? How do you reconnect with what truly matters?
In this episode, as we celebrate the 200th installment of the Happy Engineer Podcast, I reflect on the incredible journey we've had together.
Amidst a bustling holiday season, I share a deeply personal story from a recent Christmas party, which sparked a profound conversation about the challenges of truly disconnecting from work and being fully present in our lives.
In this episode we dive into the struggles that engineers and professionals face as they attempt to balance the demanding aspects of their careers with the enriching experiences of personal life.
I discuss the concept of presence—not just physical but mental and emotional presence—and how mastering this can significantly enhance our relationships and overall happiness.
So press play and let’s chat about transforming your everyday experiences into extraordinary memories!

I share a story about Daniel, an engineering leader who felt stuck in his career, frustrated by seeing his peers get promoted while he remained in the same role. The key insight? It’s not about constantly asking what gaps you need to close—it’s about demonstrating that you’re already performing at the next level.
By shifting the conversation with leadership from "what's missing" to "what more can I contribute at the next level," Daniel unlocked new growth in his career. I’ll walk you through how to make this same shift.

In this episode, you’ll see what career transformation looks like with Bruno Yoshioka, graduate of the Lifestyle Engineering Blueprint, my intensive coaching program for engineering leaders.
Bruno is currently a Principal Software Engineering Manager at Microsoft working on Microsoft Intune, a cloud-based endpoint management solution. He joined Microsoft out of college in 2014 after completing undergraduate degrees in computer science and music performance.
Throughout his 10+ years of working at Microsoft, he has experienced ups and downs from burnout to great success and elation, and found himself at one of those low points in late 2023.
That’s when he silenced the skeptic in his head, and joined a community of like-minded engineering leaders in coaching and training for career growth and lifestyle design.
He’ll share how he changed his mindset from fixed to growth, renewed his energy, created extreme clarity in his purpose and vision, and overall transformed the quality of his work life…

In this episode, we talk with Christopher Belcastro, a high performing and focused CTO with global leadership experience managing large, diverse engineering projects & teams.
Christopher is one of us. He has over a dozen years of product development experience in power electronics for mission critical power protection applications.
If you want to be known for your ability to transform organizational performance, driving revenue and operating results for your company, then stick around because that’s what Christopher is known for.
But it didn’t come easy. After being told by HR when he was a new engineering manager that, “people don’t like working for you,” he had to make major adjustments or go down in flames.
Spoiler alert, he’s a successful CTO now, and he shares those lessons learned with you today.
A coach at heart, Christopher loves to give back to the global engineering community.
