What happens when you haven’t touched math in over a decade… and then decide to pursue engineering anyway? In this episode, Cameron “Cam” Colucci shares how he went from zero recent academic experience to earning a math minor and physics degree—proving that discipline, patience, and humility can take you further than natural talent.

With a background in steel fabrication and service as a Marine Corps aircrewman on the V-22 Osprey, Cam brings a unique blend of hands-on experience and technical expertise.
