Winter Break Message and January Episode Preview

Speaker 1 00:00:05 Hi, dare to disrupt listeners, this is Ryan Newman. I wanted to wish you a happy holiday season and let you know we're taking a brief break this December, but we'll be back with a new episode in late January. So keep an eye out for that. The episode will feature an interview with Xander Isaacson, the founder of Zeal, a company that is disrupting the electric vehicle charging industry. Here's a quick preview of the interview you'll hear in January. So if you could unpack this comment, uh, heal climate change without bothering people, that's is a lot of, um, facetiousness just built into that inferred by that statement. Can you sort of unpack that for us? Speaker 2 00:00:48 Yeah, so I think Cleantech industry has done great things to date, but there's a lot of companies that kind of shove it down your throat and it doesn't expand a blue ocean, meaning that the people that don't care about sustainability will never care about sustainability if it's not a solution that's better for everybody. And all that does is oversaturate markets instead of expanding new ones. So that's how I kind of interpreted is that how can we solve things without making people realize they're, they're having a different, uh, fundamentals that make up the solution. So we, we always looked at it as, you know, how can we bring things to market where it's not, oh, it's clean tech, it's just better technology. Speaker 1 00:01:25 I'm excited for you all to listen to the rest of the interview in January. Thanks for listening, and from the entire event, Penn State team, happy holidays.
