TPEP 003 - The Devil in the White City | Architecture & Engineering Challenges of Chicago World's Fair

Very Good Book Club time! In this episode of The Professional Engineer Podcast, Matt Durshimer shares some passages from historical non-fiction book The Devil in White City by Erik Larson. This book is about the Chicago World's Fair and the monumental Architectural and Engineering challenges that the fair had to overcome. Reading like this aloud is helping boost my confidence to bring on guests. I appreciate your support! I felt inspired by this book and it starts to provide clarity of how to approach my life to accomplish great things. One quote in particular stands out that I share: "Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood"
