In this special episode, Aaron and Brad introduce Pipeline Media Lab (PML) — a new initiative built for engineers, by engineers.

We talk about why we’re creating PML: engineers don’t need more ads, they need education, practical insights, and real stories from people solving hard problems. PML brings all of that into one ecosystem—podcasts, events, webinars, community, and more—to help engineers learn, grow, and stay connected to what’s happening across the engineering world.

We share the vision behind PML, what it means for the Being An Engineer podcast, and how it supports the broader engineering community. You’ll hear how PML came from years of conversations with engineers, lessons from PDX, and the belief that engineering knowledge should be accessible, useful, and presented without hype.

The episode covers:

Why engineers ignore ads but engage deeply with good education
How PML will spotlight real engineering work—projects, processes, people
What new content, events, and experiences are coming for the community
How this launch strengthens the podcast you already listen to
Behind-the-scenes thinking on building something meaningful for engineers

If you’re an engineer who likes learning from other engineers, seeing cool projects, or getting better at your craft, you’re going to like where PML is heading.
