New year. New colours. Same mission.
This is 2026, and this episode is about direction.
Engineering doesn’t have a motivation problem or an ambition problem. It has a visibility problem. And this year, that’s the issue that needs to be confronted properly.
Too many people who could thrive in engineering still can’t see it clearly enough to move towards it. They see job titles, entry requirements and application portals, but not the projects, the people, the culture, or where they fit.
And people can’t be what they can’t see.
In this episode, Josh explains why engineering needs less noise and more clarity, consistency and visibility. Why visibility isn’t marketing or campaigns, but repeatable, human exposure to the reality of the work. And why belief is built through consistency, not intensity.
Josh talks about why the Engineer a Career rebrand matters, not for aesthetics, but for alignment. Why confidence doesn’t come from having everything figured out, but from seeing enough to believe you could work it out. And why visibility is a system issue, not a recruitment one.
If you’re a student, this episode is about exposure, not certainty.
If you’re in industry, it’s about responsibility, not reaction.
2026 isn’t about momentum. It’s about making engineering visible early enough, clearly enough and consistently enough to change outcomes.
