In Episode 11 of Coffee Talk, Justin Mullen sits down with Ryan Peusch, CEO of Zentility, to discuss entrepreneurship, leadership, and the challenges businesses face when navigating today’s energy market. Ryan shares his journey from working at Constellation to launching Zentility, a technology platform built to simplify energy procurement for businesses, brokers, and property owners. What started as industry experience evolved into a mission to make comparing suppliers, understanding contracts, and managing energy costs more transparent and accessible. Justin and Ryan explore the realities of building a company from the ground up, from early startup challenges and technical problem-solving to hiring, leadership, and scaling a growing team. Ryan reflects on his leadership style as more of a builder than a traditional manager, emphasizing trust, collaboration, and giving people the tools to succeed. The conversation also breaks down how deregulated energy markets work and the roles suppliers, utilities, brokers, and business owners play within them. Ryan explains why budget certainty matters and how the right energy strategy can help companies reduce stress, control costs, and make smarter long-term decisions.
