Let's go back to the beginning of your career and let's talk it through.

Mark SprouleGUEST
I'll define myself as an engineer, although my career has sort of like diversified and The concept of what an engineer is is very broad.

Mark SprouleGUEST
When I was at school, I certainly had no idea what an engineer was, but lots of people were telling me that maybe engineering was a pathway that I should follow because I had a strong interest in building and creating things.

Mark SprouleGUEST
I was sailing on an old wooden boat, which needed lots of maintenance and love and affection.

Mark SprouleGUEST
Lots of problem solving, not just from like the maintenance perspective, but also from like the actual sailing, things fail and break and you've got to figure yourself out of those scenarios.
