In this episode, we discuss the transition to clean energy with guest Danny Kennedy. Danny is the CEO of New Energy Nexus, a global platform organization for funds and incubators with chapters around the world. Danny has spent 25 years playing different roles to facilitate the transition to clean energy. He also co-hosts, with Cate Blanchett, "Climate of Change", an Audible original podcast.

In this episode, we talk about:

how activism and innovation enable each other to facilitate change,
the challenges faced by clean energy entrepreneurs,
the importance of taking a localized ecosystem approach,
workforce development considerations for the clean energy economy, and
how we can ensure that local & indigenous communities participate more fully in the new energy economy, with the example of the Navajo Nation
