A Penny for your Thoughts
A chat show with my peers from New Zealand and across the world, talking about who they are and what they do, why they do it and any lessons learned. These conversations can sometimes be a little confronting, as we deal with loss in a number of the chats. It is important that we have these conversations, particularly as men to show that it is good to talk.
I have included a link in the podcasts for you to support the show, 50% of all subscriptions will be given to Orange Sky, a charity that works with the homeless here in New Zealand and in Australia.
Here is their website:
Orange Sky NZ | Supporting people experiencing homelessness
This is a charity that I volunteer my time to and I am keen to support as much as I can. The remaining 50% of subscriptions will be used to support the production of this and other podcasts that I will be creating and publishing into the future.
Thanks everyone!

A Penny for your Thoughts on Sustainability with Professor Susan Krumdieck
Professor Susan Krumdieck
PhD Mechanical Engineering, University of Colorado at Boulder
MS Mechanical Engineering and Energy Systems, Arizona State University
BSE Mechanical Engineering, Arizona State University
New Zealand Order of Merit Queens New Years Honours 2020
Professor Krumdieck is Chair in Energy Transition Engineering at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland where she is offering a range of education and international online training, and leads the Transition Engineering Labs Research of the Islands Centre for Net Zero. The ICNZ was announced in 2021 with £33M in core and matching funding to realise transition to climate-safe energy in the Scottish Islands by 2030. Before taking the position in Scotland, Susan made major contributions in energy transition engineering research and was active in support of industry, local and central government, and communities through her Advanced Energy and Material Systems Lab research group.
Susan is the co-founder and a Trustee of the Global Association for Transition Engineering (GATE). Transition Engineering is an emerging transdiscipline that, like Safety Engineering, has straight-forward methods and tools for duty of care in meeting sustainability objectives and dealing positively with wicked problems in all sectors. Susan has more than 160 peer reviewed publications, and her book Transition Engineering, Building a Sustainable Future (CRC Press, 2020) has received great reviews and sold more than 40,000 copies.
Transition Engineering is growing rapidly with more than 20 PhDs, 500+ engineers completing the training courses, thousands of people from all backgrounds completing on-line microcredentials at University of Canterbury in New Zealand, and a new Masters and research centre at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland. Susan’s pioneering research over 25 years has provided insight, fundamentals of engineering whole systems transitions, and innovations in data observatories and engineering tools for transition of personal and freight transport and energy. She is probably most well-known for providing frank and politically agnostic information about technology or energy problems and options.
