MPEP-43: Didn’t Pass the Mechanical PE (TFS) the First Time? Listen to This.

In this episode, Dan Molloy PE speaks with Jonah Murray who shares how he navigated a major career pivot—from wastewater projects to overhead transmission lines—while preparing for and ultimately passing the Thermal & Fluids Systems PE exam. After coming up short on his first attempt, Jonah regrouped and rebuilt his approach, committing to early-morning study sessions during his busiest season of the year, when long workdays and officiating basketball games left little room for evenings. He opens up about managing anxiety, closing knowledge gaps, and learning to think clearly under pressure—especially when facing unfamiliar problems on exam day. This conversation is a practical and honest look at what it takes to turn a setback into momentum—and how steady preparation, patience, and the right structure can completely change your experience the second time around.
