Episode Synopsis
#15 - Tom Kenney - He makes jet engines cool. Literally.
Tom is an engineer at GE Aerospace
Vocational schools aren't what they used to be.
From Porsche 911 dreams to Miata reality to Bughatti dreams. Or maybe just an MG.
Jet engineer or rocket scientist? You decide.
Jet engines are hot, Tom makes them cool.
Material science and better cooling have made jets are way more efficient than they used to be.
Solving problems is AWESOME!
If you are a young engineer, don’t be afraid to open your mouth and make a suggestion. It might not be a dumb idea.
Just being an engineer is good for Tom (and Bert)
A temporary move out of aviation was a good move.
Keeping your eyes open and being opportunistic is more important than career planning.
GEs practice of moving new engineers around is a good thing.
Why Bert liked Busch Stadium.
RVing and the 2024 eclipse.
If he wasn’t an engineer, he’d be a pilot. It’s not too late…
You got to make your own path and happiness in your job.
