What this episode covers

Aaron Moncur, founder of Pipeline Design & Engineering, and Brad Hirayama announce Pipeline Media Lab (PML), a unified initiative consolidating their existing brands: The Being An Engineer podcast, thewave.engineer community, and the PDX event. They explain that PML aims to democratize engineering knowledge through a 'teach, don't sell' philosophy, offering education via podcasts, webinars, and a newsletter. The episode details the three guiding principles of PML: teaching rather than selling, amplifying existing knowledge, and using success to do good through community initiatives like CAD Club and hiring practices at partner companies like Wells Technologies.
