This presentation was delivered as a guest speaker for the Energy Futures class at the Colorado School of Mines. The discussion focuses on how engineering students can begin building credibility before graduation by taking initiative, communicating ideas, and engaging with real world energy conversations.
The presentation shares lessons learned from starting the Energy is Everything podcast, including how to connect technical knowledge with broader industry topics, how to create meaningful conversations, and how to position oneself within the energy space as a student.
Key themes include the importance of curiosity, communication, and consistency, as well as understanding how energy connects engineering, policy, and people. The goal is to provide practical insights that students can apply as they begin shaping their own paths within the energy industry.
Overall, this talk highlights that building a career in energy starts well before graduation, and that small actions taken early can create long term opportunities.
