The Splitting Atoms Podcast
The Splitting Atoms Podcast is a conversation-driven podcast exploring leadership, personal growth, and professional development through the stories of people working inside complex, high-impact industries.
Hosted by Caitlin Stone, each episode goes beyond titles and organizations to focus on the experiences that shape how people think, lead, and make decisions. These are thoughtful, human conversations about career journeys, pivotal moments, challenges, and the relationships that influence the path forward.
Set within the world of nuclear energy, the podcast offers a perspective on an industry often defined by technology—by bringing forward the people behind the work. Engineers, executives, operators, and leaders share what has shaped them, what they’ve learned, and how they approach growth, responsibility, and leadership in high-stakes environments.
Whether you’re building your career, navigating change, or simply interested in how people grow into the roles they hold, Splitting Atoms offers insights that extend far beyond any one industry.
The Splitting Atoms Podcast is home to conversations with the People Behind the Power.
