We also take a deep dive into the world of engineering (yup, we cover it all here!) and the different personalities that make this field so fascinating. From long-term project satisfaction to the thrill of quick wins, it’s all about finding joy in the journey. The department store music playing in the background becomes a perfect metaphor for life’s transitions—from the carefree days of youthful mall strolls to the grown-up responsibilities we now juggle. 🎧🛍️
