Hello and welcome to another episode of the Fully Child show podcast this week's episode just

amazing this is an amazing story so Gerard Baron founded a company called

0:21.0

Deep Green and what I don't want to tell you anything about it because he's going to explain it much better than I possibly could.

0:28.0

It is just the most fascinating conversation, really, really intriguing, challenging, fascinating, historic,

0:38.5

extraordinary. Anyway, before we start that let me just quickly mention our wonderful sponsor ripple energy because ripple energy are in the process as I speak of building the UK's first consumer-owned wind farm. This is a
