In the 94th episode of the WGI Unleashed podcast, we're excited to introduce you to Chris Velasquez, EIT, a Senior Graduate Engineer in our Civil + Land Development Team based out of WGI's San Antonio, TX office! Join us as hosts Dan and Katie travel to the Alamo City to sit down with Chris for a spirited, insightful, and entertaining conversation filled with compelling career highlights, hilarious anecdotes, and fascinating behind-the-scenes stories from Chris's unique journey within the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. From Curiosity to Engineering Excellence Chris's passion for engineering and innovation sparked long before his professional career began, and his journey to where he is today is anything but conventional. Born in New Jersey but raised in Rosenberg, Texas, Chris humorously recounts his childhood experiences growing up in a quiet subdivision, jokingly referring to it as "the hood." His curiosity and keen problem-solving abilities were evident from a young age. On the podcast, Chris shares vivid memories of his school years, including an unusual educational structure where sixth, seventh, and eighth grades each had their own separate buildings, and his early fascination with engineering, sparked by hands-on high school classes in aerospace, mechanical, and civil engineering. College Triumphs and Steel Bridge Competitions Chris chose to attend the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), balancing the desire for independence with proximity to family. At UTSA, Chris actively participated in the American Society of Civil Engineers' Steel Bridge Competition, where his team repeatedly secured regional wins and competed nationally against some of the most prestigious universities in the country! Internship Experiences and Transition to WGI Chris gained valuable experience through internships, initially exploring public works before discovering WGI through a UTSA career fair. His humorous anecdote about initially confusing WGI with a color guard organization highlights his amicable personality and underscores his seamless fit within WGI's culture. His internship at WGI proved instrumental, smoothly transitioning him into a full-time role upon graduation, thanks to the mentorship of colleagues in the public works team. From Intern to Influencer Over four years at WGI, Chris has grown from an eager intern to a respected Senior Graduate Engineer. He reflects on his professional development, noting how he now actively mentors new team members and interns. Chris highlights how each project presents unique challenges, making every day exciting and engaging. He emphasizes how teamwork and a supportive environment have significantly contributed to his personal and professional growth at WGI. Life Beyond The Office Outside work, Chris enthusiastically shares his love for chicken wings, especially lemon pepper wings cooked in an air fryer, proudly noting his dislike of chicken nuggets. He also humorously recounts the San Antonio office tradition of participating in the "Hot Ones" spicy wings challenge, despite his aversion to spicy foods, simply because he "doesn't like giving up." What Makes WGI Special Chris quickly points out that what makes WGI stand out is its remarkable people and collaborative spirit. "At WGI, you're more than just an employee - you're part of a close-knit community genuinely invested in your growth and success," Chris shares, emphasizing the nurturing and supportive company culture that inspires everyone to reach their highest potential. Tune In This episode is packed with unforgettable moments - from conquering UTSA's Steel Bridge competitions and navigating spicy wing challenges in the San Antonio office, to mentoring the next generation of engineers and solving real-world infrastructure problems with heart and humor. So, tune in, and as always, stay curious, stay driven, and keep unleashing your full potential!

Sadiqa, my guest's mother, was fifteen years old when she became a mother for the first time as part of an arranged marriage in Baghdad, Iraq in 1955. She was a wonderful mother but Sairan thought a bit too cautious which is very common for a teenager to think. Having a more conservative husband, Sadiqa loved all of her children equally and would often do anything for them. She was more lenient that her husband. My guest was one of seven children, safely nestled in the middle of the large group of children.With no formal education, she never did any professional training, she was beautiful, had a wonderful sense of humor and did everything for her children as her husband travelled frequently for business. In Sairan's mind, her mother "had seven PHD's because she raised seven wonderful children, each one unique.Unfortunately, Sadiqua died unexpectedly at fifty-eight years old and Sairan wasn't able to introduce her first child to her mother in person.Sairan is a Business Strategist and Engineer but she also is helping people unpack their hidden gem. Often, we think we are happy-working, taking care of the family, seeing friends, etc. But, Sairan, who was born in Bagdad and now an Iraqi American citizen, learned many life lessons at 26 years old  when she came to the United States with her big American dreams. Today, she's a mom, entrepreneur and very successful engineer, but she's come to appreciate the belif of making and impact in the workd and that obstacles can be overcome. "Voices of Truth" is a compilation of engaging speakers sharing their stories of impact. Sairan is on the the contributing authors.As one can expect, being so far away from family, at such a young age, had it's challenges and heartbreak. And it was such an honor to hear Sairan share stories of her mother. Unfortunately, things didn't work out as planned back in 2002 but I'm grateful that Sairan felt comfortable opening up to me.My guest has launched another career where she's helping middle aged women and men take their next steps in life to figure out who they are, what they want to do with their lives and what kind of impact they want to have on the world.I received wonderful emails from Sairan including these wonderful tidbits about her mother. She wrote "my relationship with my mother has been both foundational and transformative. She was a woman of quiet strength and resilience, and while our bond wasn't always expressed through words, her actions taught me the value of perseverance, integrity, and grace under pressure. She laid the groundwork for the woman I've become—both as an engineer and a business strategist—by modeling the power of showing up fully, even when the odds are stacked against you.I was drawn to your podcast because I believe these stories matter. The influence of our mothers or female role models often shapes our identity in powerful, often subtle, ways. I wanted to share insights on how that influence—especially in midlife—can become a springboard for reinvention. For many women, midlife feels like a cross roads. But with the right mindset, it can be a launch pad.  That's a message I hope will inspire your audience to reflect on their own journeys and the women who helped shape them."There are many wonderful stories that Sairan shared with me. I hope you enjoy this episode. And take a part of  Saduqa with you where ever you go. SOCIAL MEDIA:LINKEDIN: Sairan Aqrawi, M.Sc.INSTAGRAM: sairanaqrawiEngineering Innovator | Leadership Strategist | Transformational Team Lead | Communication Specialist | Team Performance ExpertWashington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA)The George Washington University - School of Engineering & Applied ScienceWashington DC-Baltimore Area Contact infoLet's Set Up a Meeting    T AN IMPACT IN THE WORLD / AND THAT  “OBSTACLES CAN BE OVERCOME”.

In this week's podcast  we talk about the challenges of building a career in the complex modern world of structural engineering.My guest today is Claire Gott, Head of Structures at global consultancy WSP - an engineer whose work has helped shape some of the most ambitious and high-profile structures in the UK and beyond but who has also devoted large parts of her career to date helping and encouraging others to join and navigate the profession. I first met Claire back in 2011 when, just out of Southampton University, she won the New Civil Engineer Graduate of the Year Award. She was hugely impressive then, and she continues to be today in a senior leadership role at WSP that puts her at the heart of designing many of the buildings and infrastructure that define our cities and communities.Major projects such as 40 Leadenhall, a landmark commercial tower in the City of London that's redefining how we think about wellbeing, heritage reuse and sustainability; the visionary Eden Project North in Morecambe, a regenerative design project pushing boundaries on biodiversity, embodied carbon and community engagement; London Bridge Station refurbishment, Paddington Square and of course a rake of structures on the London the Birmingham HS2 project.And I imagine that she will be turning her hand to the newly approved 1 Undershaft, and it's clear her influence spans some of the UK's most complex and high-profile developments.But as we will explore, Claire's impact extends far beyond the drawing board. A powerful advocate for diversity in engineering, she is a Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers, a mentor with the Circle Partnership, and a visible role model for women in STEM. And she remains hugely active in Cameroon Catalyst, the charity she co-founded at university focused on sustainable development in rural Africa.So how do you build such a rounded and complex career like this? Overcoming the technical and cultural challenges to lead projects that build not just for performance, but great places for people and the planet. ResourcesClaire Gott Linked InWSP websiteCameroon CatalystCreating the LEGO Bridge: A Civil Engineering ChallengeICE Connects40 LeadenhallEden North

Energy infrastructure received a grade of D+ in the 2025 Report for America's Infrastructure, published by American Society of Civil Engineers. Bryce Yonker discusses why the energy sector received a low rating with Michael Miller, vice president of technical services at Exo and a member of ASCE. Miller says the four main factors that contributed to the grade include higher load growth, systems operating closer to limits, challenges to distribution grids, and the public's lower tolerance for power outages. Miller discusses best practices for asset inspections, the need to have a national standards, and how state legislatures can have a positive impact on hardening America's energy infrastructure.

In this week's MBA admissions podcast we began by discussing the Round 3 activity on LiveWire; interview invites and final decisions continue to roll out for this shortened application round; next week UPenn / Wharton, Northwestern / Kellogg, IESE, MIT / Sloan, Yale SOM, Minnesota / Carlson, Columbia, Washington / Foster, UCLA / Anderson and Washington / Olin are scheduled to release final decisions. Graham noted a new Clear Admit promotion, where for every new entry we receive on DecisionWire, that maps out a candidate's entire application journey, Clear Admit will donate $10 to the Forte Foundation. Graham then highlighted Clear Admit's MBA admissions fair in Boston, on Wednesday. This event includes panel discussions, one of which is focused on Consulting hiring and is led by Bain. Twenty-four of the top 25 U.S.-based MBA programs are planning to attend, along with London Business School. Signups for this event are here: https://bit.ly/mbafair2025 The remainder of Application Overview events series will then be hosted, virtually, on May 20 and 21. Signups for those events are here: https://bit.ly/appoverview25 Graham noted two articles recently published on Clear Admit. The first covers the broad topic regarding what you can do with an MBA, looking at post MBA careers. The second article is a deep-dive research piece that examines placement statistics of the top MBA programs, for those seeking an MBA for their entrepreneurial ambitions. It's no surprise that Harvard and Stanford top the list of programs that future entrepreneurs join. Graham highlighted three Real Humans alumni spotlights, alums from HEC / Paris who established a Search Fund, Washington / Olin working at Applied Materials, and Ohio State / Fisher working at Bank of America. Finally, Graham discussed a forthcoming podcast featuring the leader of career services at Georgetown / McDonough. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries and one DecisionWire entry: This week's first MBA admissions candidate is an engineer who is now working in the renewable energy space. They have a 3.57 GPA and need to retake the GRE. This week's second MBA candidate is from Canada, and is also an engineer, working in Toronto. They have nine years of experience, and a 337 GRE. The final MBA candidate is deciding between Cornell / Johnson, UVA / Darden and Michigan / Ross, and is seeking a career in investment banking. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA.

Career planning is important because it helps you manage your career effectively and achieve your professional goals. By planning your career, you can focus on your overall objectives and not just your immediate plans, which can lead to a more fulfilling and successful career path.  Planning your career allows you to define what you want to achieve and carefully plan the steps to make it happen. It helps you build your career on your own terms and can be an adaptive process that evolves as your life changes. On the other hand, it is often said, letting your career happen without planning can lead to missed opportunities and a lack of direction. But is this true - what happens when you are driven more by opportunities that arise than by knowing where you want to go?   Guest Bio: Civil Engineer Keith Farndale. He has worked in construction management from 1974. He was a “designated consulting engineer” in Ontario. He ran a successful project management consulting and training business based in the GTA from 1993 to 2014 (21 Years). He taught PM non-credit and degree credit courses in the MEng programme at University of Toronto since 1993. (note: now a “retired” PEng in Ontario.)  He holds a BEng in Civil Engineering from the University of Waterloo and an MBA from McMaster University.

Dr. Pierre Julien joined the Colorado State faculty almost 40 years ago, where he worked at CSU's Engineering Research Center and Hydraulics laboratory. His book, Erosion and Sedimentation, is one of my most common references, and several of the algorithms we have in HEC-RAS (particularly for mud and debris flows) come directly from this text.   But while Dr. Julien's textbook includes as many partial differential equations and tensors as any other hydraulics text – maybe more – it also includes “rules of thumb” scattered throughout. I have integrated several of these nuggets of actionable, river mechanics wisdom into my field toolbox.  They are heuristics I use regularly to quickly triage river processes and engineering proposals while standing next to a river or sitting in a meeting. So I was curious if these rules of thumb would make an appearance in our conversation…and I was not disappointed.  We do talk some theory.  He shared a couple great metaphors that helped me visualize some of the complex theoretical principles of fluid mechanics better than I had going into the conversation. But Dr. Julien does, also, intentionally develop these decision heuristics and rules of thumb, to help practitioners quickly rule in or rule out alternatives and they popped up throughout our conversation. Dr Julien won the Einstein award in 2004 and the Hunter Rouse award in 2015 the American Society of Civil Engineers lifetime achievement awards for sediment and hydraulics respectively (which is apt as we ended up talking about both the men those awards were named after).  He was also named a Distinguished Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers - their highest honor - in 2022. Dr. Julien has completed projects world-wide with 50 different agencies including world bank and UNESCO and has guided at least 120 masters students and 44 PhDs from 16 different countries.This series was funded by the Regional Sediment Management (RSM) program.Mike Loretto edited the first three seasons and created the theme music.Tessa Hall is editing most of Season 4.Stanford Gibson (HEC Sediment Specialist) hosts.Video shorts and other bonus content are available at the podcast website:https://www.hec.usace.army.mil/confluence/rasdocs/rastraining/latest/the-rsm-river-mechanics-podcast...but most of the supplementary videos are available on the HEC Sediment YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/user/stanfordgibsonIf you have guest recommendations or feedback you can reach out to me on LinkedIn or ResearchGate or fill out this recommendation and feedback form: https://forms.gle/wWJLVSEYe7S8Cd248

Clean water, paved roads, public transit, electricity and gas, sewers, waste processing, telecommunication, even the Internet – all this infrastructure is what makes cities work and powers our lives, often seamlessly and silently. Virtually everything we do and consume depends on infrastructure. Yet, most people have little to no idea how these systems work. How is water treated? How do cities manage rainwater? Why do traffic jams exist? How is electricity generated and distributed? What happens to trash after it is picked up? How does the Internet work? In The Infrastructure Book: How Cities Work and Power Our Lives (Prometheus Books, 2025), world-renowned urban engineering expert Sybil Derrible reveals the behind-the-scenes machinations of the foundational systems that make our societies function. Visiting sixteen cities around the world and their unique approaches to organizational challenges – from water distribution in Hong Kong to waste management in Tokyo, and from Chicago's power grid to low Earth orbit satellites in space – this highly readable book uses fascinating case studies and historical detours to show how infrastructure works – and, sometimes, doesn't. With large-scale infrastructure repairs looming and the need for existing infrastructure to be transformed, the book also shows how infrastructure can be more sustainable and resilient. After reading The Infrastructure Book, readers will never look at a city the same way. Sybil Derrible is a professor of urban engineering and director of the Complex and Sustainable Urban Networks Laboratory at the University of Illinois Chicago. He is a world-renowned scholar on infrastructure and a lead author on the United Nations Environmental Program's Seventh Global Environment Outlook (GEO-7) report. He received the Walter L.

Discover strategies that prioritize profit, pay yourself first, and separate self-worth from financial value. Gain practical tips and fresh mindsets to achieve financial freedom and empowerment.Ann Wilson is a global wealth expert, best-selling author, speaker, and financial empowerment activist.In this episode, Melinda and Ann talk about:The importance of money flow within a business and paying oneself firstFinancial literacy in coaching and its impact on effectivenessAnn's journey from debt to financial freedom and the need for financial educationRedefining priorities to align financial management with personal dreamsInterrupting negative storylines to effect real change in financial habitsThe significance of self-worth and financial health in coachingPricing based on value provided versus self-worthThe concept of “worthiness” and separating it from monetary concernsEncouraging a shift from revenue focus to determining necessary profit for personal goalsImportance of planning for financial freedom through investments and strategic contribution“Paying myself first meant I had to do a radical shift in what I call being absolutely selflessly selfish.” — Ann WilsonGuest Bio:Ann Wilson, known as “The Wealth Chef,” is a best-selling author, speaker, and financial empowerment activist. She believes everyone can experience abundant wealth in their lifetime and have all the money they need to live an unlimited life. That is why she is dedicated to inspiring, empowering, and liberating people to create a positive relationship with money, as well as providing them with simple, actionable, and effective tools to build wealth.By age 38, Ann achieved her own financial freedom, meaning she can now stop working whenever she chooses and her assets will continue earning her all the money she needs (and more) to live the lifestyle she wants forever. She didn't have a family inheritance, a business she sold for millions, or a lucky win in the lottery. She simply taught herself to master the key ingredient to live an “unlimited life” — money.But before that, in her 20s, despite an excellent education and a successful career as a Civil Engineer, she was financially illiterate and drowning in debt. By learning how money really works and taking action, Ann was able to turn her life around.Currently based in South Africa, Ann is constantly gallivanting around the globe, speaking to audiences, helping people transform their money world, revelling in nature, and pursuing her curiosity about what a wealthy life means in different cultures and to different people. Ann is  living proof that no matter who you are, where you start in life, or what has happened in your past, you too can create financial freedom and live your unlimited life.Resources or websites mentioned in this episode:MiraseeCoaches ConsoleMelinda's book: The Confident Coach and The Professional Coach Ann's website: TheWealthChef.com5-Day Wealth Plan Challenge: Wealth Made Simple — Discover the precise amount of money required to live the life you desire!Credits:Host: Melinda CohanProducer and Editor: Michi LantzExecutive Producer: Danny InyMusic Soundscape: Chad Michael SnavelyMaking our hosts sound great: Home Brew AudioTo catch the great episodes that are coming up on Just Between Coaches, please follow us on Mirasee FM's YouTube channelor your favorite podcast player.
