This is a short interview excerpt from the YouTube video "It's OKAY to be an UNCONVENTIONAL THINKER | Andre Brisson." Andre Brisson describes himself as a non-traditional, unconventional engineer who prefers nonlinear problem-solving: he works on multiple things at once, skips unnecessary steps to move faster, and values efficiency. He sees resistance from other professionals (engineers, accountants) who follow established routines.
Chapters
My biggest challenge in the engineering field are actually other.
Engineers, right?
I say, you know, don't insult me by calling me an.
Engineer, because I'm not.
But it's like, I'm not the traditional engineer. I'm very unconventional. The solutions I get to is like a buddy of mine said.
He goes, the.
Reason I respect you, Andre, is because, you know, you're not like typical engineers. You cross the road at different places, because just because you did it the last time doesn't mean you have to.
Do it again, right?
And then my accountant buddy says, you.
Know, why.
Did the account cross the road over there? It's because they've been doing it for.
A hundred years and.
They won't deviate from that. So, yeah, it's unconventional thinking or nonlinear. Like, year three, follow through. In Colby, I'm a two. Follow through. I think that also.
Throws off the.
Engineering world, the professional world, because I'm very random, and I can work on multiple things at once, and I will skip steps because if I don't have to, because I'm all about getting to the end quicker, being efficient.
