Welcome back to SHPE Out Loud! In our 18th episode of the "50 Stories for 50 Years" series, your producer Alex Wait brings you a special encore interview with the remarkable Julio Grapa. As a pivotal figure in SHPE's history and a Director at Procter & Gamble, Julio's story is too inspiring to be contained in just one episode.
Previously, Julio shared his childhood, career journey, and battle against cancer. If you haven't listened yet, be sure to catch up before diving into this enriching conversation.
This time, Alex sits down with Julio at the recent convention in Salt Lake City to explore his vision for SHPE and the future of research and development. With 33 years of convention attendance under his belt, Julio's advocacy for SHPE and belief in engineering's significance within Hispanic culture shine through. Prepare to be inspired once again as Julio shares his insights, passion, and commitment to making a difference.
Thank you, Julio, for another profound conversation that enriches our SHPE Familia. Together, we look forward to shaping the next 50 years!
