0:00.0	Hey everyone, welcome back to the podcast. This week, I'm joined by Amit Goodka, founder of
0:07.2	Vamati Energy and co-founder of Bob, a company making energy simpler, cheaper and greener. So I've
0:14.1	really enjoyed this conversation with Amit. We start off by talking about renewable energy
0:18.9	and what that really means and what that will look like in the
0:22.3	future potentially on a global scale and how that will impact all of us. We also talk about
0:27.7	business and startup culture and the inevitable challenges of starting a company and scaling
0:33.8	and working with people and about having a big idea and purpose and profit
0:39.2	and actually how you need to focus on both in order to create a successful business. So if the last
0:45.2	18 months has taught us anything, it is that the future is unpredictable. None of us really
0:51.6	know what could happen in the next decade. But fortunately, we have people
0:55.8	like Amit, future thinkers, smart people who are working hard to potentially solve some of the
1:01.3	big problems that could come in the future. So I really hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did.
1:07.1	Let's dive in. Welcome to the Power Hour.
1:12.5	I'm Adrienne Herbert, wellness coach, international speaker and author.
1:17.4	Each week I speak to a variety of guests from business founders to Olympic athletes, leading coaches, change makers and innovators to find out their daily habits, their rules to live by and what
1:29.1	motivates them to get up out of bed each day. Personally, I am on a mission to encourage, motivate and
1:35.9	inspire so I hope that the Power Hour will help you to achieve your personal and professional goals.
1:45.5	Welcome back to the Power Hour podcast and welcome to today's guest, Amit, how are you doing?
1:50.7	Good, thanks. How are you, Jane? Yeah, I'm very well, thank you. Really looking forward to
1:55.2	this conversation. Firstly, I guess for any listeners of the show who might not be familiar with you, with the work that you do, could you tell us, I guess I'd love for you to kick off this episode and tell us about your journey so far what and why you do what you do?
2:11.6	Thanks, Adrian. Yeah, really good to be on the show. I'm my sort of journey to date.
2:18.3	So I started out my career as an energy trader.
