Welcome to the Cameron-Brooks Podcast: ABOVE AND BEYOND!  On this episode, I interview Mike McCauley. Mike is an Industrial Engineer at Michelin. He is a former Army Field Artillery Officer who transitioned to Michelin in 2015. Mike shares a ton of great perspective about what he does as an Industrial Engineer and how his military experience has positively impacted his career thus far. He also shares some career progression advice and recommends the book Industries of the Future by Alex Ross. To learn more about transitioning from the military to Corporate America, check out PCS to Corporate America by Roger Cameron. You can find more about Cameron-Brooks here.

Thanks for listening to the Cameron-Brooks podcast! This week, I had the opportunity to visit with Cameron-Brooks alumni, Tanya Chavez. Tanya works for G3 Enterprises and transitioned from the Air Force through Cameron-Brooks in 2012.  Since that transition, she has earned her MBA at UC Berkely Haas School of Business, led a major enterprise resource planning software implementation at G3, and has been promoted multiple times.  Tanya also currently teaches a business leadership and communications class at Haas. Stay tuned for a great episode as Tanya shares her perspective on everyday leadership, offers advice about bringing your whole self to work and how to take work lessons back home. She also mentions the book The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down by Haemin Sunim. For additional perspective on everyday leadership, I highly recommend the Ted Talk by Drew Dudley on every day leadership.  I watched it this morning and it is really good!   Joel Junker    

Thanks for listening to the Cameron-Brooks Podcast! In this episode, I interview Rob Carranza, R&D Lifecycle Manager at Johnson & Johnson. Rob earned his undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering and is a former Air Force Navigator. He gives some really good perspective and our conversation went pretty long, so I broke the conversation in two parts. We will publish Part 2 in the next episode. In Part 1 we discuss using comparative data when making a transition decision, finding balance in and out of work and staying curious. You can read more about Rob's background here. Enjoy!
