Re:Engineered is a podcast for engineers and technical professionals who've realized that being great at the technical work isn't enough anymore. Hosted by Chris Stasiuk, an engineer turned coach who spent 25 years growing from project engineer to shareholder at an engineering consulting firm, and now coaches technical professionals on the leadership skills no one taught them. The show treats communication, leadership, and influence as systems. Not personality traits. Not corporate theater. Skills you can learn and apply without pretending to be someone you're not. Episodes include solo takes, newsletter riffs, and conversations with engineers and experts in areas technical professionals often overlook. No theory. Real frameworks from real engineering environments, with direct guidance on managing up, leading without authority, and navigating difficult conversations. No buzzwords. No corporate platitudes. No advice from consultants who've never built anything. If you're the one who actually solves the problems but keep getting passed over for people who talk more than they contribute, this podcast was built for you. Because being a great engineer isn't enough anymore.
