50 Stories for 50 Years | Story #31: Lazaro & Samuel - A Legacy of STEM and Familia

Hola Familia! Welcome to the 31st episode of SHPE Out Loud. Today’s episode is extra special as we feature our very first father-son duo on the podcast! Join us as we dive into the inspiring journey of Lazaro, a seasoned mechanical engineer at Northrop Grumman and a first-generation immigrant, alongside his 17-year-old son, Samuel. Samuel is already making waves as the president of the SHPE Junior Chapter at his high school, with aspirations in mechanical engineering, particularly in robotics and Disney animatronics. In this unique episode, we explore how Lazaro’s story of perseverance and giving back has shaped his family’s journey, and how Samuel is following in his father’s footsteps. It’s not every day that we get to hear from two generations in one interview, and I must say, it’s pretty cool! Lazaro and Samuel share their experiences on the value of familia, the power of perseverance, and the significance of mentorship. Packed with touching anecdotes, valuable insights, and motivational lessons, this episode is one you won’t want to miss. 50 Stories Website: shpe.org/50-stories Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shpenational/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/SHPE Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shpenational/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/society-of-hispanic-professional-engineers/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/SHPENational The SHPE Out Loud Podcast is produced by Epics Productions | Podcasts with Purpose.
