I explore the raw, unfiltered stories behind the most painful lessons.
This week, I sat down with Asher Genoot, the CEO of Hut 8, one of North America’s largest digital infrastructure and energy providers — powering everything from crypto mining to AI compute. We talked about what it actually takes to build the infrastructure that powers the future — and why no one’s talking enough about energy when they talk about AI.
Asher breaks down the tension between energy sustainability and economic growth, shares lessons from navigating the 2022 crypto crash, and explains why he joined a bankruptcy committee on purpose — just to learn.
We also get into:
– How energy infrastructure is central to AI and national competitiveness
– Whether sustainable energy and growth can really coexist
– How to make tough calls during market crashes
– Why ego kills good decision-making
– The mindset of a great leader during chaos
