  • I've listened to a few of these and have loved them all to date. The focus appears to be on EV, battery, eMobility, etc. and emphasis on how leaders have started up companies in that space, so I would love to hear more content around other cleantech challenges (example: hydrogen as fuel source, RNG) as well as how big corporations are tackling these challenges, but if you're primarily looking for content in the electrification space, this is a fantastic podcast for that.

  • A must for anyone who wants to engage in Cleantech

    These podcasts offer real life learning experiences for anyone engaged in startups, but most applicable to the “Clean-space” sector. I particularly like that David’s guests, all successful leaders, share their experiences openly, almost like chatting over a drink, hence a relaxed and very open exchange. I find nuggets of value in everyone. I particularly like that it covers the whole space, and provides insights that only insiders would know.

    Thank you David for providing such engaging content... more
