Episode notes
In this episode, Dan sits down with Blake and Carlton—two newly licensed Professional Engineers—to talk about the realities of preparing for the PE exam. Carlton shares how he “would not have succeeded at taking the PE exam if I didn’t have somebody like Blake there keeping me accountable”—highlighting the power of study partners and weekly check-ins. Blake admits that he “floundered for the first year” before finding the right structure, reminding us that persistence and course correction are key parts of the process. Whether you’re just starting your prep or in the middle of it, their candid stories about setbacks, accountability, and ultimately passing the exam will give you practical strategies—and motivation—to keep going.
