My guest on today’s podcast is a degreed engineer, podcaster, and thought leader in real estate investing under his brand name, “The Wealth Elevator”.

Lane Kawaoka is a graduate of the University of Washington for both his undergraduate Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering and his Masters in Civil Engineering concentrated in Construction Management. After graduating he held multiple roles in a 12 year career as an engineer for companies such as BNSF and the Hawaii Department of Transportation, but his passion is for real estate investing, and that is what he does now. His work includes managing a portfolio of more than $2.1 billion assets under management as Real Estate Syndicator for his Wealth Elevator Investor Club, providing financial advisory services, and sharing advice and lessons learned from his career in real estate on his podcast, the Wealth Elevator.

Lane has achieved a dream I have had for a while, by building a successful real-estate portfolio, but then in true engineer’s fashion, he chose not to sit on his portfolio and instead build a real estate empire. Today I’m excited to learn more about Lane and his career journey as an engineer and beyond.

Connect with Mikaela here: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikaelamcdonald/⁠

My guest on today’s podcast is someone who I have admired for a long time, as while I was young engineering student struggling in weeder courses, this guest of mine was taking courses courses about concepts I couldn’t imagine myself comprehending, and talking about her internship experience with a cool company whose products were impacting my everyday life.

Mikaela McDonald is a Cisco Infrastructure Solutions Executive at SHI International Corporation, a leader in the IT solutions and services industry and interestingly also is classified as the largest Minority/Women Owned Business Enterprise in the United States. She has had a wonderful career journey that we are going to talk about today that… you guessed it… started at Cisco, but before that, she was a student at Trinity University, of which she, like me, is a graduate of their Bachelors of Science in Engineering Science program. Go Tigers!

Mikaela’s career journey has spanned across multiple companies, states and time zones, and I’m so glad that she is here today to share her story. Her passion is to encourage other engineers that it is okay to pivot and try new things as that process of learning and changing the way you think allows you to make better decisions, as long as each time you pivot you maintain goals and adjust accordingly. To her, relationships are everything and should be treated with intentionality, and in that vein I’m so grateful for our relationship, and that she has blessed me with her time to share more on these topics in today’s interview.
