Episode Synopsis

After engineering school, Walker worked for several years as a contractor for NASA, but it wasn't quite the right fit for him. Then a brainstorming session, a homemade algorithm, and his mom's skill with bobbins led him to start his own engineering firm, with customers all around the world. (Plus phrases like "Gaussian copula," an impromptu rant from Mike on the current state of formal literary education, and other stuff.)
