Episode notes
In this episode, we sit down with Sam Bain. An engineer, adventurer, and all-round thoughtful human - who reminds us that you don’t need to have it all sorted to take the next step.
From high school in Aotearoa to building drones in Timaru and chasing snow in Canada, Sam shares his story with calm honesty. We chat about how he got into mechatronics (thanks to a mix of maths and tinkering), why taking time to travel after uni helped shape his direction, and what it means to build a life that feels good - not just looks good.
If you're into honest chats about careers, curiosity and doing your own thing, this one’s for you.

• Sam’s advice: Don’t stress the big picture, just figure out what’s next
• Choosing mechatronics and loving hands-on problem solving
• Saying yes to South America instead of ...
