Mike Mundwiller, Field Development Manager at Benjamin Moore, sits down with me to talk all about paint. We focus on exterior paints, what goes into making paint, common mistakes when specifying a paint, and the most critical aspect of applying paint. We also get a wonderful construction fail regarding a painting project that will leave you speechless! Trust me, you're going to enjoy watching paint dry after hearing this episode!

Today we're talking to P. Andrew Torrez, co-host of the Opening Arguments podcast and owner/founder of the P. Andrew Torrez Law Firm. We discuss the Daubert standard for expert witnesses, how this changed from the Frye standard, the adoption of the Daubert standard by the Florida Supreme Court, and the reporting surrounding this change.

Today we are with Dr. Mark Thornton, Senior Fellow at the Ludwig Von Mises Institute, to discuss his latest book, "The Skyscraper Curse". We talk about the intersection of engineering and economics (more closely related than you might think!), what "Cantillon Effects" are, what causes the boom-bust cycles in the economy, what Austrian economics is, what makes it different from other schools of economics, if there's another big crash on the way (there is), and what engineers can do to protect themselves from the next Big One. If you've been curious about economics and how it affects engineers and contractors, both directly and indirectly, you definitely need to listen to this episode!

Today we are speaking with Paul Marcello from Floodproofing.com about floodproofing and floodplan design. We discuss the risks associated with flooding (not as obvious as you might think!), how to know if you're at risk for flooding, why do they use terms like "a once-in-a-hundred-years flood", what wet and dry floodproofing mean, and how those methods can help with your flood insurance. If you're concerned about rising sea-levels or how flooding can impact your property or family, you definitely need to give this episode a listen!

Today we are joined by the father and son team of Restoration Technology Inc., Scott and Logan Justin, to talk about the subject of concrete repair and restoration. We discuss the field-level basics of what's involved in concrete and balcony slab repair, what property managers and associations can expect when taking on this type of project, how RTI works with engineers towards a successful project, and why RTI has never been brought to court in their decades of operation. If you're considering concrete repair and want to know what to expect, or you're just interested in the subject, you'll want to give this episode a listen!

Today we sit down with Eduardo Leal, Staff Engineer at M2E, to talk about the subject of Lighting Design. Be warned, lots of math discussion here!

If you want to know how engineers come up with lighting designs, you'll want to pay attention to this episode!

Today we talk to Vladimir Markoski, Senior Vice President of M2E. With decades of experience in mechanical design, review, inspection, and consulting, Vlad also has years of experience being an Expert Witness and appearing in depositions. He shares with us the skills you need to be successful when appearing in your first deposition or as an Expert Witness, the kinds of engineers most likely to face off against a lawyer, and why it's so important for engineers to be good and detailed writers in their day-to-day work.

Today we talk to Matt Donnelly, the comedian and magician known as "The Mind Noodler". He co-hosts podcasts such as "Ice Cream Social", "Abracababble", and "Penn's Sunday School", in addition to serving as a writer on the TV show "Penn & Teller: Fool Us". He came down from Las Vegas to talk about the history of improv and how it can help people and even engineers learn to communicate with others. We chat about the kinds of skills you learn in improv, when you can use these skills, and how Matt likes his chicharrones!

Today we sit down with Ruben and Gelon, both engineers at M2E, to learn about their experiences taking the PE exam. We talk about registering and preparing for the exam, as well as the nuts-and-bolts on the day of the exam. Plus, we receive breaking news live on the podcast!

In our inaugural episode, we talk with Founder and President of M2E Consulting Engineers, Mr. Miroslav "Misha" Mladenovic.

Plus, women in engineering, advice to young engineers, and what an M2E engineer profile looks like.
