Analytical is where I talk about different ideas and concepts that I’ve come across over decades of Engineering relating to design, managing people, projects and so on. Also other topics of personal interest like Music, Nostalgia, Familiarity and Ideas just to name a few. Essentially anything that doesn’t really fit into my other shows but I still find interesting and worth discussing.

I try to be careful, considered and calculated in how I do business in my career. I may not have always succeeded, and if I felt like something went well or didn’t go well and I wasn’t sure why, I just hadn’t analysed it enough. Hence the premise of this show.

Everything can be improved, iterated and refined and if you don’t think that’s true…maybe you haven’t analysed it enough? Calculated Choices. Carefully Considered. Absolutely Analytical.
