What happens when you go from wearing a uniform to powering homes, and discover that service is the true currency of business? In this episode of the EPIC Impact™ Podcast, your host Steve Ramona sits down with international‑minded entrepreneur Anders Nilbrink — born in Sweden, veteran of the Swedish Armed Forces for 22 years, now helping homeowners in California choose a brighter path through solar energy.
Anders’ story begins with a relatable character (himself) at a crossroads: after two decades in service he faced a choice — stay on the path he knew, or leap into something unknown with his wife. Emotion rippled through that moment when the pandemic hit, events vanished overnight and Anders found himself redefining purpose. He felt the weight of uncertainty, the pull of reinvention, the promise of something more than the status quo. He moved countries, changed industries (military → beer events → solar energy), and discovered a deeper version of himself: kinder, more curious, more committed to serving others.
You’ll hear the vivid moment this business pivot became more than just a career change — it became Anders’ mission. He describes the texture of grey skies in Southern Sweden, the contrast of California sunshine, the sense of leaving a paycheck behind and embracing full ownership of his work. This sensory detail grounds his transformation.
In our conversation you’ll learn how Anders now serves his clients: not by pushing systems, but by pulling alongside homeowners — helping them navigate solar energy with transparency, valuing what’s right over what’s profitable. He warns against red flags: “We’ll eliminate your electric bill!” can be misleading. He shows how real service means having the freedom to say, “Stay with your utility if that’s your best option.” That authenticity builds trust.
And here’s the call to action: ask yourself where you can serve with honesty in your world today. What transformation lies hidden in your “grey” zone? If you’re ready to step into the unknown and make impact through service, this episode is your map.
P.S. If you’re curious about solar, business partnerships with spouses or family, or simply how service drives success in unconventional ways, hit play, listen again, take notes — and consider reaching out to Anders (details in show notes). Your next chapter of service‑led growth may just be one insight away.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
