About This Podcast
Laura Miranda and Sohan Roopra co-founded You Don’t Look Like an Engineer. A podcast aimed at challenging the stereotypes about what an engineer looks like, the show sparks meaningful conversations about inclusion, finding your passion in your career, leadership and self-improvement.
The corporate world is often seen as impersonal and robotic, even, but the podcast is here to show its human side—the people and their stories, and the diversity that is reshaping this profession. Through honest conversations, we explore industry issues like gender equity, cultural diversity, and leadership, offering real insights and ideas to help workplaces become places where everyone feels they can fulfill their dreams, and everyone feels like they belong.
With a mission to drive change through storytelling, our podcast reshapes perspectives and opens doors for a more inclusive future in engineering and beyond.
