  Angelo Campus: Founder and CEO of BoxPower

  Sep 11, 202442 min

  Our guest today is Angelo Campus. He is the co-founder and CEO of BoxPower Inc. A visionary navigating the optimism of a solar-punk future and the looming threat of the climate crisis, Angelo believes the traditional utility model—centralized generation, transmission, and distribution—is on the brink of collapse. As new technologies and climate disasters accelerate, utilities must adapt or risk extinction. BoxPower is leading this transformation. With its innovative software and hardware ecosystem, the company is driving down costs and speeding up the deployment of distributed energy generation. Traditional utilities are draining resources to maintain aging infrastructure in remote areas. BoxPower’s Remote Grid—a self-contained solar, battery, and backup system—empowers rural energy consumers to go off-grid. In this episode, we explore distributed generation, energy autonomy, microgrids, evolving utility models, and the impacts of climate change. We also discuss energy inequality, especially in indigenous communities. Angelo is a Forbes 30 Under 30 Social Entrepreneur, Echoing Green Climate Fellow, and renewable energy expert, a microgrid evangelist and second-generation solar pioneer. We hope you enjoy our conversation with Angelo Campus.

  Pinar Akiskalioglu: Founder of TAKK

  Dec 16, 202328 min

  Inspired by the increasing ‘Paradox of Choice’ burden on consumers, and the ever-increasing dispersion of goods and services, my guest on this episode founded a company to satisfy the basic needs of our daily lives. She believes there needs to be a clear choice for consumers, who are tired of marketing gimmicks, intrusive promotions, and endless variants when selecting and buying basic, everyday products. The personal care industry is primed for disruption. For too long, the major players have stifled competition by acquiring new brands to control or eliminate them. However, people are waking up to the unsustainable nature of this sector and the ever-increasing number of products driving up unnecessary, meaningless consumption. That's where TAKK comes in, offering an 'Essential Only' philosophy to disrupt the industry to build a purposeful one instead. My guest today is Pinar Akiskalioglu. Pinar is the founder of TAKK, an anti-brand personal care company that promises to sell people only what they need, only when they need it. Educated at the University of Oxford and Harvard Business School, Pınar has a clear understanding of the rules of the current economic structure, yet she is an optimist and believes humanity can build new systems that privilege wider society rather than the few. Pınar is also the founder of Punk Business School, working hard to put humanity at the heart of business education. We discussed the business philosophy, sustainability, circular economy, and the triple-bottom-line business model. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Pinar Akiskalioglu.
