Helping people think clearly and solve hard problems.
 

Hi, I'm Daniel Stih.

I'm an aerospace engineer, environmental consultant, author, podcast host, and first-ascent mountain climber.

I've investigated problems ranging from engineering and software development to indoor environmental health, economics, and human behavior.

What connects them is a way of thinking: asking better questions, challenging assumptions, and recognizing how the way a problem is defined shapes the solutions we pursue.
