About this listen
In this episode, Dave chat with Andy McCarthy — author of Here Comes the Sun, founder and former CEO of Gippsland Solar, and a straight-talking advocate for purpose, people, and the energy transition.
Andy shares a candid journey from leaving school at 15 to building a nationally recognised solar brand in coal country, selling to RACV, and rebuilding after burnout. We cover:
⚡ The moment a single solar panel sparked a 25-year mission
⚡ Starting up in the Latrobe Valley and winning trust as “Andy from Gippsland Solar”
⚡ Scaling fast, selling to RACV, and the cost of carrying it all
⚡ Mental health, vulnerability, and building your “wolf pack”
⚡ Why jobs, skills and community buy-in matter more than slogans
⚡ Networking as a superpower for non-linear careers
