Episode 259: Bradston Henry - Marvelously Mediocre and Thriving
After 13 years, I sit down with Bradston Henry, a Georgia Tech engineering graduate who's mastered the art of being "good enough" at everything—and why that's actually a superpower.
From his Jamaican engineering family roots to surviving Georgia Tech's brutal curriculum, to pivoting from mechanical engineering to programming, Bradston's journey proves that self-awareness beats perfectionism every time.
We discuss:
• The "fastest on JV, slowest on Varsity" philosophy
• Why AI is basically "trust me, bro" (problematic for bridges)
• How engineering trauma bonds last forever
• The unexpected path from break-dancing to programming
• Why engineers make great storytellers
• Preparing for fatherhood while building careers
Plus: Why Georgia Tech prepares you for anything life throws at you (because nothing will ever be that intense again).
