Episode 13 - Japan Trip Recap, Lost Class of Engineers, Motivation and Peter Pan Maximalism

Hey Everyone!

Welcome back to episode 13 of The Drawing Board. We began this week by recapping our personal lives over the past little while, talking about Maq's MCAT Plan and Krish's trip to Japan. From there we touched on a point we covered in a previous episode, about finding our "Why" and where we are in this self-reflection journey. We talked a little bit about the co-op Krish will be having in the upcoming semester with the Hacksmith Industries YouTube channel, and our mutual desire to one day express our creative sides with a channel of our own. From there we talked about a so-called "lost class" of engineers, who had knowledge of many different disciplines and were able to create amazing inventions, contrasted with the modern day where most people are highly specialized and only work on a very small part of any project. Going back to our "Why" we talked a bit about what motivates us, and whether goal or process-based motivation is better. Finally, we talked about what defines good art, getting older, and what we want an average day in our 60s to look like.

Hope you all enjoy!
