Re-Energize
Podcast Description
Join Joel Thomas and Jay Carlis as they interview renewable industry veterans who open up about what their work has taught them about themselves and how it has changed them. This isn’t a how-to guide on project development or commercial strategy. It’s about our stories, how we work through high stakes situations, how we find joy at work, and how we mentally and emotionally navigate the day-to-day ups and downs of working in and around this wild business. Perhaps most meaningful, it’s about how these experiences have transformed us.
