About this listen

Here Comes the Sun is a story of overcoming adversity, finding a purpose and avoiding the potholes that throw you off course.

When Andy McCarthy left school in Year 10 because of relentless bullying, his career prospects weren't great, but he was determined to prove the doubters wrong. At age 19, he connected his first solar panel and suddenly found himself powered by a purpose. He would accelerate the world's transition to renewable energy, and he would do it in the coal-fired heartland of Victoria's Latrobe Valley.

From tiny beginnings in his home garage, Andy overcame a tide of ridicule, setbacks and opposition to build one of Australia's largest employers in the renewable energy sector: Gippsland Solar. But when his obsessive drive landed him in hospital, Andy realised something had to give. For his work to finally pay off, he would have to transform himself too.

Here Comes the Sun is an electrifying tale for anyone interested in renewable energy, in building a business and in what it takes to follow a purpose without burning out.

Thank-you Andy for the courage to share your journey. Such a powerful and honest account of who you are and the man you have grown in to..

The raw truth you share gives the permission for others to reachout and ask for support in the dark times.

Your story proves the power of walking with integrity means so much more in the long term.

I strongly recommend this book to all emerging leaders and those who are in a place of influence.

For we are in need of more conscious people in positions of power.

5 Stars.
