Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hello and welcome back to the Matrix Green Pool
podcast.
I'm Hilmarie Hutchison andtoday I'm excited to be joined
by Zoltan Rindisch, the ChiefMarketing Officer and partner at
Sun Money Solar Group.
Zoltan is a climate-packedambassador for the European
Union and has been a drivingforce in the renewable energy
(00:27):
space, championing innovativecommunity-based solar programs
that empower individuals andcreate sustainable economic
growth.
Wow, that's a mouthful Zoltanwelcome and thank you so much
for joining me today.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Hello and welcome everyone.
It's great to be here on thispodcast, so let's get on with
the interesting questions youhave for me.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
To start, could you tell us a bit about yourself,
your background and how youbecame involved in the industry
of renewable energy?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I'm a marketing and business development
professional and more of astrategist, I would say.
But I had a big detour in mycareer for a war correspondent.
So I was at war anddisaster-torn areas of the world
working for network televisions.
At that time I started to workwith aid organizations in these
(01:21):
troubled zones to try to save anitsy bitsy part of this world.
Then I had my corporate carrierand executive carrier and, I
would say, the usual burnout,which come to the lucky ones.
The others stay in doom ofcorporate life forever.
I had the burnout and I becamean entrepreneur.
With my friends we started tobuild this company and it
(01:43):
upgraded my mission to save thewhole wide world.
Ever since then I've beentrying to do that not just in
the business level but also onthe nonprofit level.
I'm a harsh and loud advocate ofthe fight against climate
change.
People turn to me a lot oftimes that what is my motivation
?
And I would say my biggestmotivation is my son.
(02:05):
I'm a single dad.
I have a 13-year-old son calledOliver.
I just want to leave a betterword for him and I don't want to
leave the fight to him.
I want to fight for his planet,which we actually ruined a bit
in our time as the mainmotivation.
Some people say I'm crazybecause it's a fight you cannot
(02:25):
win.
And I say you cannot fight forsure if you don't start it.
So we need to try to win thisfight, even if it seems to be an
unbeatable foe at this point.
But I think it's not actuallyso.
I think we can do this and wecan deck the challenges climate
change brings.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yes, at least make some impacts, at least make a
start.
Wow, what an interesting career, what an interesting background
, all the way from a warcorrespondent involved with aid
organizations.
And then I love how you saybeing burnt out in the corporate
world made you one of the luckyones, because that gave you a
reason to get out of thecorporate world and then enter
(03:05):
the world of entrepreneurshipand also non-for-profit
organizations and then toadvocate for something that you
truly believe in and, as manyparents, I think your motivation
, being your son, is somethingthat we all share that we want
to leave a better world, andyou're actually taking steps
towards making that happen.
And even if it's a small change, as you say, it's better than
(03:27):
not making a change at all.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yes, also it seems to be from a bird's view
perspective.
It seems to be an impossiblemission.
I would say it's a don't cureit fight.
But as I roam the world andmeet with people, there are more
and more people who feel thesame and I think everybody's
feeling the effects of climatechange now and like we feel that
(03:49):
weather is weird these days,and even in Europe.
Currently I'm in Europe, I'm adouble resident of Dubai and
Budapest Weather is really weird.
Even in Europe, whichtraditionally stayed out of the
climate change thing, for thelast couple of years there has
been incidents which are extremeand this year has broke every
(04:10):
record in terms of heat waves,violent storms and all that Also
in the Gulf.
We can see that something ischanging.
More rain is coming to the Gulf, which is unusual, even snow
and weather patternsfundamentally changing.
So I think everybody's feelingit.
So more and more people don'tlook at it as something
(04:30):
impossible anymore, and that's agood feeling for me.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yes, I think awareness is so important
because once people become awareand they're noticing these
things, then they are morelikely to be on board with being
(04:54):
part of the change or evenmaking a small change in their
own lives to work towards asolution.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
It's immediate problems, of course, political
fights, putty fights sometimeswithin the EU, and also a lot of
, of course, war, financialcrisis, whatever.
Everything is always moreimportant and there is no
motivation.
So we need to give the peoplemotivation to fight against
climate change.
I put out the question for youwhat is the biggest motivator
(05:23):
currently for the people of thisworld?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I would say, for most people it's probably money.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
It is money.
I'm not the only one who thinksthat we need to change the
direction of the flow of moneyso it flows into good things
rather than feeding traditionalpoor things in terms of business
, which are not that sureanymore, to be honest.
So we need to motivate peoplewith money.
We need to store them, teachthem and make them enjoy the
(05:51):
benefits of all the good thingswhich are good for the planet
too, like renewable energy.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yes, so reward people for making the right decision.
Yes, I think that's a goodsegue maybe into talking a bit
about Sun Money Solar, because Iknow it is a unique
community-based approach tosolar energy.
Can you explain how this modelworks and how it differs from
traditional solar energyprojects?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Solar Group is.
We build or buy solar powerplants.
These plants go into a pool ofcapacity.
Capacity is watt, megawattthat's capacity.
Anyone basically from the worldcan buy into that capacity by
the watt.
If you buy capacity with us, weare maintaining and supporting
(06:40):
the solar power plants.
We are selling the electricityon your behalf as well and you
get your share of revenues basedon the size of your buy-in
every month.
That's a community solar powermodel we use and it's available
in a normal form, like in thefiat financial world, but it's
also available now in tokenizedform on blockchain, so people
(07:04):
can buy in on blockchain too,through the SDBN tokens, which
are basically the same communitysolar power plant model on
blockchain.
Currently we have 50,000members in this community solar,
which makes us the biggestcommunity solar in the world,
from 60 countries and, I think,from five continents as well.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I know that empowering youth is a big part
of your mission.
Can you maybe share somesuccess stories of young
entrepreneurs who have leveragedsolar energy to drive climate
action and build sustainablebusinesses?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I would start from a different angle, but I will end
that at your question.
When I roam the world and talkto people, I really love to talk
to kids.
I've been at universities.
Of course those are alreadyyoung professionals maturing up
and kind of understanding thechallenge they will face in
their lives.
(07:58):
Then middle school is alsoamazing to talk to those kids
because they are opening upalready to the world and they
understand as well.
But what I really love is talkto elementary school kids.
These kids I would risk thestatement that they know more
already than 60, 70% of theadults about climate change, and
(08:20):
that's amazing.
They know about renewableenergy and we are talking about
sixth change, and that's amazing.
They know about renewableenergy and we are talking about
sixth graders.
They know about electric cars,why solar energy is good, why
they have to recycle.
These kids know everything.
Those are the generations whichwill grow up and get socialized
in a world which is in chaos, Iwould say a bit these days, and
(08:43):
does not address a problemwhich will affect their life.
They will address it and theywill push us out.
They will blow away UN and EUif they don't do something.
These kids are going to takeover and they are already much
smarter than some of thepoliticians.
And I believe that we need totake care of our youth, not just
(09:04):
in a financial way or topromote entrepreneurship, but to
save that attitude for whenthey become adults, because we
need their attitude, we needtheir knowledge.
We need that generation whogrows up in that environment,
because they are going to makeradical changes to how we live
now, to this chaos.
They're going to clean up theplanet, everything which will
(09:26):
stand in their way.
They're going to blow it awaywith their smarts, not with
weapons.
With their smarts they are justso smart already about this.
That kind of warms my heart andgives me a lot of inspiration.
And also young entrepreneurs.
To get back to your question,we are always on the lookout for
young entrepreneurs.
We are helping universityprograms and university research
(09:48):
to, mostly these days forrecycling and for water
treatment or scalable, lowenergy consumption water
treatment.
That's very enjoyable.
We will see where we get.
We don't treat it as a businesswith these youngsters.
It's our role that we can helpthem with some knowledge and
also market and businessknowledge, and also knowledge
(10:09):
about the field or the industry.
We see where they get and ifthey need, of course, need
financials or they want to go tomarket, we can help them.
But we don't look at them.
We don't look at ourselves asinvestors or incubators.
We help people a lot.
All three of us, as owners ofthis group, are very helpful
people and we believe in helpingpeople even without getting
(10:33):
back anything, and we hardly sayno if youngsters approach us
with their projects.
I really believe that it'salmost a mandatory thing for
someone on this planet now whois a human being to do that.
We don't expect anything back.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Each of us has the responsibility to be part of the
change.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yes, I totally agree and I always say that.
Make no mistake, this planetwill survive.
The only question is, which wehave to answer, if it survives
with or without us.
This planet is perfect.
It's going to equalize and itis equalizing how we hurt or
damage the harmony of theequation of nature.
(11:12):
If we stand in the way and nothelping that equalization of
this amazing, wonderful systemaround us which we are part of,
then it's going to erase us, notbecause it's evil, but that's
the way how all the scienceswork.
That's the way balance works.
I think a lot of people don'tunderstand that.
The only thing we can change isour attitude ourselves towards
(11:35):
this.
Otherwise, we are just going tobe standing in the way of
something bigger.
If we get to that, we cannotwin.
There are a lot of examples ofhow we cannot win, like look at,
a couple of weeks ago inValencia, one cold drop, as they
call it, these sudden rainfallstorms, and how many people died
in a flash.
We are not looking into damageof infrastructure or damage of
(12:00):
roads or cars anymore.
We are looking into losinghuman lives, and life is the
greatest gift we will ever get.
We need to protect life,whatever it costs.
Somehow we forget or forgotthat we need to protect it.
Protecting it means that weneed to care about our
environment, because ultimately,these things are getting, you
(12:23):
know, more and more frequent inthe world and that means
ultimately we're going to haveway more casualties.
Of course, this is not asspectacular as a lot of things
in the world, which war, whichhas immediate casualties, but we
are talking about, for instance, pollution, and I tell you an
example which surprised me.
When I look at statisticsSometimes I just feel like, wow,
(12:46):
every kind of pollution so airpollution, ground and water
pollution is responsible, in away, for 10% of the fatalities
in the world and it'sfrightening, the worst thing
which can happen to a country ora region.
We are in war.
The whole world is in war.
(13:06):
We are losing a lot of peoplein the biggest war humanity ever
fought and we are notaddressing it.
That makes me sad and makes mefeel stupid.
We are smart, humanity is smart.
We overcame big challenges inthe history of mankind.
We overcame everything andsomehow now we are not looking
at the problem or just don'twant to acknowledge the problem,
(13:28):
because we can overcome this.
We have all the smarts we needto overcome this and somehow we
turn our backs or at least a bigpart of the world is back on
the problem, and especiallypeople who are responsible for
all countries and societies andregions and communities.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
So important to be part of the solution.
I love the solution that you'vecreated.
As you say, each one of us hasthe responsibility to make a
change, and I love how you havetaken solar energy.
That's one of the solutionsright to the problem.
It's not the only solution, butto create a more sustainable
future, solar energy is one ofthe solutions, and you've made
(14:08):
that available to everybody sothat everybody can take part in
this and, as you say, let themalso have an opportunity to
benefit from making a goodchoice.
I think that is what we call awin-win situation that you've
created.
So that's excellent, and I'm soexcited that I've heard about
this.
I know about it.
I'm so sure our audience isgoing to be out looking at the
(14:30):
different ways they can takepart in being part of the
solution.
Now we've come to the segmentof our show.
We'll ask you some rapid firequestions.
What role would you say solarenergy plays in achieving a more
sustainable future for theplanet?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
I think that's easy.
It's a major player in thatsustainability game.
With solar, it's basicallyunlimited energy coming every
day to us.
With the battery technology,which is also improving.
Every day new technologies outwhich can hold more for longer
time, it is the future.
And also wind and non-invasivewater power is also the future.
(15:11):
So all these are there.
I would say it's almost endless.
I don't know the future, butthere are a couple of million
years of proof that the sun willcome up tomorrow.
I can really would bet on itthat this will be on.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
That the sun is there tomorrow, excellent.
Yes, in which countries canpeople partake in the solution
that you've created?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Any country we don't have.
We have the regularrestrictions like any company
would have with the sanctionedcountries.
Of course, we have clients ormembers from 60 countries on
five continents, so we reallydon't restrict anyone to join us
, just the sanctioned countries.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Now let's say somebody says you know what?
I don't have the resources tobe part of the solution that you
are now creating.
It sounds great, but I justdon't have the ability to
partake of that.
What small change can everysingle person make in their
day-to-day lives that would havea positive impact on the
environment and the planet?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I could say a lot of things, but I'm only going to
say one it's be open up to theworld, to the future.
Don't hide from what'shappening out there.
Open up and try to be positiveand bring positivity to your
environment.
That's the biggest step andthat step we need.
It's not just an environmentalproblem.
(16:34):
Part of the cause for theenvironmental problem is a
psychological problem, a mentalstate of the world we live in,
currently a closed up,individualist world.
Happiness is virtual.
A lot of times on social mediawe are forgetting that there are
other people and it's good tobe with other people.
(16:55):
We forget to risk our emotionsand we forget to love.
And that is the most importantthing for this world.
It's ultimately, money is justmotivation.
Ultimately, it's not moneywhich is going to change the
world.
Ultimately, it's going to belove which will save the world
as we again find each other onthis mud bowl and start to work
(17:19):
together for a better new world.
Of course, anyone can say thatonly happens when something
drastic happens in the worldthat people come together.
I have bad news it's happeningand we will come together, and
if not the easy way, then wewill come together the hard way.
But I really, really recommendto everyone to stop for a minute
(17:42):
or a second every day.
Think it over how big of a isto be alive, and knowledge that
we are alive, like how great isthat, it's an amazing gift we
got.
Then from there, it's easier tobe open to the next people,
it's easier to smile, it'seasier to ask the doorman, how
(18:04):
are you?
Or the bartender, whoever youmeet.
So today I'm talking about myday now.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
So to be open, I think that's excellent advice.
To be open to various things, Ithink that's excellent advice.
To be open to various things.
I think that's very, very good.
I know you travel a lot.
You've mentioned you've beenall over the world.
You travel a lot.
You talk to a lot of people.
You've been in so many places.
What is your favorite vacationspot?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Lately I've been traveling a lot with my son.
I want to show him the world,so we are going from one corner
to the other to show him thediversity and the wonders of
this planet and how people livein different cultures and, of
course, with different religions.
I'm trying to make him a veryopen person and I'm successful,
(18:46):
I think.
And I would say he's in lovewith Dubai, so he loves to spend
time with me there and we livedthere for a while, and now we
are back and forth betweenEurope.
But he's in love with Dubai, sohe loves to spend time with me
there and we lived there for awhile, and now we are back and
forth between Europe.
But he's waiting always forgoing to Dubai.
He loves it.
But I think our currentfavorite we are going to several
places next year too, butcurrent favorite is Tanzania and
(19:07):
Zanzibar.
We spent the summer there andwe were going on a beautiful
safari and seeing Gorongorocrater is just the cradle of
life.
It was amazing for both of usand all those animals in their
natural habitat, these majesticcreatures.
But I kind of like, and we kindof like, anything which has
(19:29):
salty water around it.
So like not the kitchen, welike the kitchen too, but
anything with sea or ocean is agood place for us.
As you can imagine, I spend myyear among a lot of people.
I meet a lot of human beings,which I'm happy about, but
sometimes you get filled up andyou want to just get into some
(19:49):
very private place and just donothing.
And we have these places at theMediterranean seaside where we
like to go, where I like to go,and just spend a week or two
doing nothing, swimming in thesea, not working, not taking up
all the phone calls and notanswering emails, cooking,
drinking good wine or whiskey,and make some delicious food
(20:13):
from what nature has given usfrom the sea and from around the
area.
And I really enjoy those simplethings too, and it's how I
unwind in my life.
And then we have theseadventures, and always the last
one is the favorite.
So we do these adventuresfrequently and going to a part,
a place of the world or a region, we cover that region and you
(20:37):
know it's.
Traveling is amazing thing.
You gain knowledge throughtraveling.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Oh, it's in education , there's no doubt.
But I know, when I take mydaughter out of school for a few
days here and there fortraveling, I always say she
learned more from the travelingthan she would sitting in on a
school bench, there's no doubt.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Yes, meeting these wonderful people, and I like him
to be like me that sometimesyou need to approach people and
talk to them, and people aregenerally very nice when you
start to talk to them and have aconversation and you get to
know so much more about thatcountry than in a five-star
hotel or a big resort.
(21:14):
I wouldn't say I have a realfavorite.
I love to travel.
I love the Gulf.
Favorite places is always adesert.
I love deserts.
Oliver loves the big, endlesssea of sand.
I like to.
Just when I'm in the Emirates, Ilike to go to either the empty
quarter or to Labab up in Ras AlKhaimah and just sit there.
(21:35):
It's amazing.
It's almost like really lookingat the ocean Been to many of
the seas of sand in the world.
So those are favorite placesany ocean, any sea, anything on
this planet.
I think of myself, and I wantmy son to think of himself, as
an inhabitant of a planet, not acitizen of a country.
I'm a human being from planetEarth and that's the only
(21:58):
category I want to be in it.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
You're right.
I love Saint-Germain.
It's beautiful, tanzania isbeautiful and you're really
getting back to nature.
I think that's what makes it sospecial.
There are some beautiful hotelsin that, but to really get back
to just the pure nature isthere's nothing like it.
So that is one of my favoriteplaces as well, so I can relate
to you enjoying being there.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Amazing place.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
What is one thing you do every day, no matter how
busy you get?
Speaker 2 (22:25):
One thing I do every day is make that moment or
second when I think through thatI'm alive.
Some people call it meditation.
I don't like to be that flashy.
I like to think of it as partof our existence, to sometimes
just think about bogus thingslike our existence.
So I always have a moment forthat, to make that realization
(22:49):
in my head that I'm alive andhow great is that.
That's why I think I'm alwayssmiling.
I'm a very positive person.
I'm very optimistic about thefuture.
People find it suspicioussometimes why is he smiling all
the time?
But I think it's part of thatthat I do this reset every day.
I'm just happy that I'm here.
I want to use this opportunityto be grateful, not in the
(23:13):
spiritual sense, but to bereally grateful and give back to
life.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yes, and I think it's that gratitude, like you said,
to reflect on what you have.
And when you've got gratitude,when you practice gratitude,
then it makes you more happysomehow, because you recognize
what you actually have versuswhat you don't have.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
And sometimes it's enough just to live.
Sometimes you don't need more.
When there are bad times andyou are a bit beaten and you
feel beaten at least, or youfeel down, it's enough to live.
Sometimes a day doesn't have tobe more or doesn't have to be
about more.
I lived this day and I had thisday and I just took a breath, a
(23:53):
deep breath.
Tomorrow some will come up,there will be a new day, do
better or maybe even change thepast or past mistakes.
So a lot of people are lost inanxiety and worries and I
understand, I'm very empatheticto that.
But also, you cannot reallychange what happened.
(24:14):
If you have anxiety or if youjust close up in that anxiety,
you will have no effect on yourfuture.
People should realize that it'sa a lot of things which are we
say in our civilized countriesor in our flashy homes that we
(24:38):
say that I cannot live withoutthis ice cream.
We say these very, very bogusthings out.
Sometimes People live withoutway more and they are still
happy.
In Tanzania, my son turned tome one day and said to me like
Daddy, these people have nothing, really, really low down houses
to a European eye.
(24:59):
They have no money to go abroadto visit another country, but
still they are happier than thepeople in Europe.
And I said they just realizedwhat's wrong with the world,
that in our culture in back here, when we have something we want
more, we never stop that.
We are okay now.
We are grateful for what we.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Statistics show that we are the most wealthy people
ever lived.
We live longer than ever, andyet it's the most dissatisfied
generations that we're raising.
It just doesn't make any sense,doesn't?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
It makes me sad but also motivates me that we're
raising.
It just doesn't make any sense,doesn't?
It makes me sad but alsomotivates me that we need to do
better.
We need to share the message.
You know, it's all right if youjust have life for one day,
it's all right to live withoutthree supercars, it's enough.
It's all right to travel andyou stretch yourself for the
best hotel where this movie wasshot and everything, just to
(25:54):
have that one post.
You stretch yourselffinancially.
Why do you do that?
Why don't you just enjoy, finda good spot which is in your
cost bracket and book that andyou're going to be happier.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
And to show off for people that I don't actually
like.
That's the crazy part, Okay.
So thank you very much forplaying along.
That was easy enough, took alittle longer.
Now I'd like to ask you oursignature question, our Green
Pool moment question.
If you took the Green Pool togo back in time and change one
thing about your journey, whatwould it be?
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I would skip the corporate park.
I wouldn't skip the wars.
It gave me a lot of knowledgeand skills in terms of decision
making, in terms of seeingthrough things quickly and
making the connection betweenthings and putting them in
context.
So I wouldn't skip that.
I would skip the corporate part.
Start earlier.
I think that's what I do.
(26:47):
I don't regret anything in mylife.
I don't regret the corporatepart, of course.
But if I could do one thingagain, then I would skip that
part.
Start with.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Yeah, not waste your time on that part.
Yes, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
What a story.
What a life you've had.
You've accomplished a lot.
You are making a difference inthe world.
You are making it so thatnormal, everyday people can be
part of this journey and knowthat they are making a
difference, what they have.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Thank you for saying that I'm also everyday people.
I'm just one human being andI'm a living proof that one
human being can do a lot, andthat's a good example to set.

Hello and welcome back to the Matrix Green Pool
podcast.
I'm Hilmarie Hutchison andtoday I'm excited to be joined
by Zoltan Rindisch, the ChiefMarketing Officer and partner at
Sun Money Solar Group.
Zoltan is a climate-packedambassador for the European
Union and has been a drivingforce in the renewable energy
(00:27):
space, championing innovativecommunity-based solar programs
that empower individuals andcreate sustainable economic
growth.
Wow, that's a mouthful Zoltanwelcome and thank you so much
for joining me today.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Hello and welcome everyone.
It's great to be here on thispodcast, so let's get on with
the interesting questions youhave for me.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
To start, could you tell us a bit about yourself,
your background and how youbecame involved in the industry
of renewable energy?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I'm a marketing and business development
professional and more of astrategist, I would say.
But I had a big detour in mycareer for a war correspondent.
So I was at war anddisaster-torn areas of the world
working for network televisions.
At that time I started to workwith aid organizations in these
(01:21):
troubled zones to try to save anitsy bitsy part of this world.
Then I had my corporate carrierand executive carrier and, I
would say, the usual burnout,which come to the lucky ones.
The others stay in doom ofcorporate life forever.
I had the burnout and I becamean entrepreneur.
With my friends we started tobuild this company and it
(01:43):
upgraded my mission to save thewhole wide world.
Ever since then I've beentrying to do that not just in
the business level but also onthe nonprofit level.
I'm a harsh and loud advocate ofthe fight against climate
change.
People turn to me a lot oftimes that what is my motivation
?
And I would say my biggestmotivation is my son.
(02:05):
I'm a single dad.
I have a 13-year-old son calledOliver.
I just want to leave a betterword for him and I don't want to
leave the fight to him.
I want to fight for his planet,which we actually ruined a bit
in our time as the mainmotivation.
Some people say I'm crazybecause it's a fight you cannot
(02:25):
win.
And I say you cannot fight forsure if you don't start it.
So we need to try to win thisfight, even if it seems to be an
unbeatable foe at this point.
But I think it's not actuallyso.
I think we can do this and wecan deck the challenges climate
change brings.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yes, at least make some impacts, at least make a
start.
Wow, what an interesting career, what an interesting background
, all the way from a warcorrespondent involved with aid
organizations.
And then I love how you saybeing burnt out in the corporate
world made you one of the luckyones, because that gave you a
reason to get out of thecorporate world and then enter
(03:05):
the world of entrepreneurshipand also non-for-profit
organizations and then toadvocate for something that you
truly believe in and, as manyparents, I think your motivation
, being your son, is somethingthat we all share that we want
to leave a better world, andyou're actually taking steps
towards making that happen.
And even if it's a small change, as you say, it's better than
(03:27):
not making a change at all.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yes, also it seems to be from a bird's view
perspective.
It seems to be an impossiblemission.
I would say it's a don't cureit fight.
But as I roam the world andmeet with people, there are more
and more people who feel thesame and I think everybody's
feeling the effects of climatechange now and like we feel that
(03:49):
weather is weird these days,and even in Europe.
Currently I'm in Europe, I'm adouble resident of Dubai and
Budapest Weather is really weird.
Even in Europe, whichtraditionally stayed out of the
climate change thing, for thelast couple of years there has
been incidents which are extremeand this year has broke every
(04:10):
record in terms of heat waves,violent storms and all that Also
in the Gulf.
We can see that something ischanging.
More rain is coming to the Gulf, which is unusual, even snow
and weather patternsfundamentally changing.
So I think everybody's feelingit.
So more and more people don'tlook at it as something
(04:30):
impossible anymore, and that's agood feeling for me.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yes, I think awareness is so important
because once people become awareand they're noticing these
things, then they are morelikely to be on board with being
(04:54):
part of the change or evenmaking a small change in their
own lives to work towards asolution.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
It's immediate problems, of course, political
fights, putty fights sometimeswithin the EU, and also a lot of
, of course, war, financialcrisis, whatever.
Everything is always moreimportant and there is no
motivation.
So we need to give the peoplemotivation to fight against
climate change.
I put out the question for youwhat is the biggest motivator
(05:23):
currently for the people of thisworld?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I would say, for most people it's probably money.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
It is money.
I'm not the only one who thinksthat we need to change the
direction of the flow of moneyso it flows into good things
rather than feeding traditionalpoor things in terms of business
, which are not that sureanymore, to be honest.
So we need to motivate peoplewith money.
We need to store them, teachthem and make them enjoy the
(05:51):
benefits of all the good thingswhich are good for the planet
too, like renewable energy.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yes, so reward people for making the right decision.
Yes, I think that's a goodsegue maybe into talking a bit
about Sun Money Solar, because Iknow it is a unique
community-based approach tosolar energy.
Can you explain how this modelworks and how it differs from
traditional solar energyprojects?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Solar Group is.
We build or buy solar powerplants.
These plants go into a pool ofcapacity.
Capacity is watt, megawattthat's capacity.
Anyone basically from the worldcan buy into that capacity by
the watt.
If you buy capacity with us, weare maintaining and supporting
(06:40):
the solar power plants.
We are selling the electricityon your behalf as well and you
get your share of revenues basedon the size of your buy-in
every month.
That's a community solar powermodel we use and it's available
in a normal form, like in thefiat financial world, but it's
also available now in tokenizedform on blockchain, so people
(07:04):
can buy in on blockchain too,through the SDBN tokens, which
are basically the same communitysolar power plant model on
blockchain.
Currently we have 50,000members in this community solar,
which makes us the biggestcommunity solar in the world,
from 60 countries and, I think,from five continents as well.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I know that empowering youth is a big part
of your mission.
Can you maybe share somesuccess stories of young
entrepreneurs who have leveragedsolar energy to drive climate
action and build sustainablebusinesses?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I would start from a different angle, but I will end
that at your question.
When I roam the world and talkto people, I really love to talk
to kids.
I've been at universities.
Of course those are alreadyyoung professionals maturing up
and kind of understanding thechallenge they will face in
their lives.
(07:58):
Then middle school is alsoamazing to talk to those kids
because they are opening upalready to the world and they
understand as well.
But what I really love is talkto elementary school kids.
These kids I would risk thestatement that they know more
already than 60, 70% of theadults about climate change, and
(08:20):
that's amazing.
They know about renewableenergy and we are talking about
sixth change, and that's amazing.
They know about renewableenergy and we are talking about
sixth graders.
They know about electric cars,why solar energy is good, why
they have to recycle.
These kids know everything.
Those are the generations whichwill grow up and get socialized
in a world which is in chaos, Iwould say a bit these days, and
(08:43):
does not address a problemwhich will affect their life.
They will address it and theywill push us out.
They will blow away UN and EUif they don't do something.
These kids are going to takeover and they are already much
smarter than some of thepoliticians.
And I believe that we need totake care of our youth, not just
(09:04):
in a financial way or topromote entrepreneurship, but to
save that attitude for whenthey become adults, because we
need their attitude, we needtheir knowledge.
We need that generation whogrows up in that environment,
because they are going to makeradical changes to how we live
now, to this chaos.
They're going to clean up theplanet, everything which will
(09:26):
stand in their way.
They're going to blow it awaywith their smarts, not with
weapons.
With their smarts they are justso smart already about this.
That kind of warms my heart andgives me a lot of inspiration.
And also young entrepreneurs.
To get back to your question,we are always on the lookout for
young entrepreneurs.
We are helping universityprograms and university research
(09:48):
to, mostly these days forrecycling and for water
treatment or scalable, lowenergy consumption water
treatment.
That's very enjoyable.
We will see where we get.
We don't treat it as a businesswith these youngsters.
It's our role that we can helpthem with some knowledge and
also market and businessknowledge, and also knowledge
(10:09):
about the field or the industry.
We see where they get and ifthey need, of course, need
financials or they want to go tomarket, we can help them.
But we don't look at them.
We don't look at ourselves asinvestors or incubators.
We help people a lot.
All three of us, as owners ofthis group, are very helpful
people and we believe in helpingpeople even without getting
(10:33):
back anything, and we hardly sayno if youngsters approach us
with their projects.
I really believe that it'salmost a mandatory thing for
someone on this planet now whois a human being to do that.
We don't expect anything back.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Each of us has the responsibility to be part of the
change.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yes, I totally agree and I always say that.
Make no mistake, this planetwill survive.
The only question is, which wehave to answer, if it survives
with or without us.
This planet is perfect.
It's going to equalize and itis equalizing how we hurt or
damage the harmony of theequation of nature.
(11:12):
If we stand in the way and nothelping that equalization of
this amazing, wonderful systemaround us which we are part of,
then it's going to erase us, notbecause it's evil, but that's
the way how all the scienceswork.
That's the way balance works.
I think a lot of people don'tunderstand that.
The only thing we can change isour attitude ourselves towards
(11:35):
this.
Otherwise, we are just going tobe standing in the way of
something bigger.
If we get to that, we cannotwin.
There are a lot of examples ofhow we cannot win, like look at,
a couple of weeks ago inValencia, one cold drop, as they
call it, these sudden rainfallstorms, and how many people died
in a flash.
We are not looking into damageof infrastructure or damage of
(12:00):
roads or cars anymore.
We are looking into losinghuman lives, and life is the
greatest gift we will ever get.
We need to protect life,whatever it costs.
Somehow we forget or forgotthat we need to protect it.
Protecting it means that weneed to care about our
environment, because ultimately,these things are getting, you
(12:23):
know, more and more frequent inthe world and that means
ultimately we're going to haveway more casualties.
Of course, this is not asspectacular as a lot of things
in the world, which war, whichhas immediate casualties, but we
are talking about, for instance, pollution, and I tell you an
example which surprised me.
When I look at statisticsSometimes I just feel like, wow,
(12:46):
every kind of pollution so airpollution, ground and water
pollution is responsible, in away, for 10% of the fatalities
in the world and it'sfrightening, the worst thing
which can happen to a country ora region.
We are in war.
The whole world is in war.
(13:06):
We are losing a lot of peoplein the biggest war humanity ever
fought and we are notaddressing it.
That makes me sad and makes mefeel stupid.
We are smart, humanity is smart.
We overcame big challenges inthe history of mankind.
We overcame everything andsomehow now we are not looking
at the problem or just don'twant to acknowledge the problem,
(13:28):
because we can overcome this.
We have all the smarts we needto overcome this and somehow we
turn our backs or at least a bigpart of the world is back on
the problem, and especiallypeople who are responsible for
all countries and societies andregions and communities.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
So important to be part of the solution.
I love the solution that you'vecreated.
As you say, each one of us hasthe responsibility to make a
change, and I love how you havetaken solar energy.
That's one of the solutionsright to the problem.
It's not the only solution, butto create a more sustainable
future, solar energy is one ofthe solutions, and you've made
(14:08):
that available to everybody sothat everybody can take part in
this and, as you say, let themalso have an opportunity to
benefit from making a goodchoice.
I think that is what we call awin-win situation that you've
created.
So that's excellent, and I'm soexcited that I've heard about
this.
I know about it.
I'm so sure our audience isgoing to be out looking at the
(14:30):
different ways they can takepart in being part of the
solution.
Now we've come to the segmentof our show.
We'll ask you some rapid firequestions.
What role would you say solarenergy plays in achieving a more
sustainable future for theplanet?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
I think that's easy.
It's a major player in thatsustainability game.
With solar, it's basicallyunlimited energy coming every
day to us.
With the battery technology,which is also improving.
Every day new technologies outwhich can hold more for longer
time, it is the future.
And also wind and non-invasivewater power is also the future.
(15:11):
So all these are there.
I would say it's almost endless.
I don't know the future, butthere are a couple of million
years of proof that the sun willcome up tomorrow.
I can really would bet on itthat this will be on.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
That the sun is there tomorrow, excellent.
Yes, in which countries canpeople partake in the solution
that you've created?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Any country we don't have.
We have the regularrestrictions like any company
would have with the sanctionedcountries.
Of course, we have clients ormembers from 60 countries on
five continents, so we reallydon't restrict anyone to join us
, just the sanctioned countries.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Now let's say somebody says you know what?
I don't have the resources tobe part of the solution that you
are now creating.
It sounds great, but I justdon't have the ability to
partake of that.
What small change can everysingle person make in their
day-to-day lives that would havea positive impact on the
environment and the planet?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I could say a lot of things, but I'm only going to
say one it's be open up to theworld, to the future.
Don't hide from what'shappening out there.
Open up and try to be positiveand bring positivity to your
environment.
That's the biggest step andthat step we need.
It's not just an environmentalproblem.
(16:34):
Part of the cause for theenvironmental problem is a
psychological problem, a mentalstate of the world we live in,
currently a closed up,individualist world.
Happiness is virtual.
A lot of times on social mediawe are forgetting that there are
other people and it's good tobe with other people.
(16:55):
We forget to risk our emotionsand we forget to love.
And that is the most importantthing for this world.
It's ultimately, money is justmotivation.
Ultimately, it's not moneywhich is going to change the
world.
Ultimately, it's going to belove which will save the world
as we again find each other onthis mud bowl and start to work
(17:19):
together for a better new world.
Of course, anyone can say thatonly happens when something
drastic happens in the worldthat people come together.
I have bad news it's happeningand we will come together, and
if not the easy way, then wewill come together the hard way.
But I really, really recommendto everyone to stop for a minute
(17:42):
or a second every day.
Think it over how big of a isto be alive, and knowledge that
we are alive, like how great isthat, it's an amazing gift we
got.
Then from there, it's easier tobe open to the next people,
it's easier to smile, it'seasier to ask the doorman, how
(18:04):
are you?
Or the bartender, whoever youmeet.
So today I'm talking about myday now.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
So to be open, I think that's excellent advice.
To be open to various things, Ithink that's excellent advice.
To be open to various things.
I think that's very, very good.
I know you travel a lot.
You've mentioned you've beenall over the world.
You travel a lot.
You talk to a lot of people.
You've been in so many places.
What is your favorite vacationspot?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Lately I've been traveling a lot with my son.
I want to show him the world,so we are going from one corner
to the other to show him thediversity and the wonders of
this planet and how people livein different cultures and, of
course, with different religions.
I'm trying to make him a veryopen person and I'm successful,
(18:46):
I think.
And I would say he's in lovewith Dubai, so he loves to spend
time with me there and we livedthere for a while, and now we
are back and forth betweenEurope.
But he's in love with Dubai, sohe loves to spend time with me
there and we lived there for awhile, and now we are back and
forth between Europe.
But he's waiting always forgoing to Dubai.
He loves it.
But I think our currentfavorite we are going to several
places next year too, butcurrent favorite is Tanzania and
(19:07):
Zanzibar.
We spent the summer there andwe were going on a beautiful
safari and seeing Gorongorocrater is just the cradle of
life.
It was amazing for both of usand all those animals in their
natural habitat, these majesticcreatures.
But I kind of like, and we kindof like, anything which has
(19:29):
salty water around it.
So like not the kitchen, welike the kitchen too, but
anything with sea or ocean is agood place for us.
As you can imagine, I spend myyear among a lot of people.
I meet a lot of human beings,which I'm happy about, but
sometimes you get filled up andyou want to just get into some
(19:49):
very private place and just donothing.
And we have these places at theMediterranean seaside where we
like to go, where I like to go,and just spend a week or two
doing nothing, swimming in thesea, not working, not taking up
all the phone calls and notanswering emails, cooking,
drinking good wine or whiskey,and make some delicious food
(20:13):
from what nature has given usfrom the sea and from around the
area.
And I really enjoy those simplethings too, and it's how I
unwind in my life.
And then we have theseadventures, and always the last
one is the favorite.
So we do these adventuresfrequently and going to a part,
a place of the world or a region, we cover that region and you
(20:37):
know it's.
Traveling is amazing thing.
You gain knowledge throughtraveling.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Oh, it's in education , there's no doubt.
But I know, when I take mydaughter out of school for a few
days here and there fortraveling, I always say she
learned more from the travelingthan she would sitting in on a
school bench, there's no doubt.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Yes, meeting these wonderful people, and I like him
to be like me that sometimesyou need to approach people and
talk to them, and people aregenerally very nice when you
start to talk to them and have aconversation and you get to
know so much more about thatcountry than in a five-star
hotel or a big resort.
(21:14):
I wouldn't say I have a realfavorite.
I love to travel.
I love the Gulf.
Favorite places is always adesert.
I love deserts.
Oliver loves the big, endlesssea of sand.
I like to.
Just when I'm in the Emirates, Ilike to go to either the empty
quarter or to Labab up in Ras AlKhaimah and just sit there.
(21:35):
It's amazing.
It's almost like really lookingat the ocean Been to many of
the seas of sand in the world.
So those are favorite placesany ocean, any sea, anything on
this planet.
I think of myself, and I wantmy son to think of himself, as
an inhabitant of a planet, not acitizen of a country.
I'm a human being from planetEarth and that's the only
(21:58):
category I want to be in it.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
You're right.
I love Saint-Germain.
It's beautiful, tanzania isbeautiful and you're really
getting back to nature.
I think that's what makes it sospecial.
There are some beautiful hotelsin that, but to really get back
to just the pure nature isthere's nothing like it.
So that is one of my favoriteplaces as well, so I can relate
to you enjoying being there.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Amazing place.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
What is one thing you do every day, no matter how
busy you get?
Speaker 2 (22:25):
One thing I do every day is make that moment or
second when I think through thatI'm alive.
Some people call it meditation.
I don't like to be that flashy.
I like to think of it as partof our existence, to sometimes
just think about bogus thingslike our existence.
So I always have a moment forthat, to make that realization
(22:49):
in my head that I'm alive andhow great is that.
That's why I think I'm alwayssmiling.
I'm a very positive person.
I'm very optimistic about thefuture.
People find it suspicioussometimes why is he smiling all
the time?
But I think it's part of thatthat I do this reset every day.
I'm just happy that I'm here.
I want to use this opportunityto be grateful, not in the
(23:13):
spiritual sense, but to bereally grateful and give back to
life.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yes, and I think it's that gratitude, like you said,
to reflect on what you have.
And when you've got gratitude,when you practice gratitude,
then it makes you more happysomehow, because you recognize
what you actually have versuswhat you don't have.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
And sometimes it's enough just to live.
Sometimes you don't need more.
When there are bad times andyou are a bit beaten and you
feel beaten at least, or youfeel down, it's enough to live.
Sometimes a day doesn't have tobe more or doesn't have to be
about more.
I lived this day and I had thisday and I just took a breath, a
(23:53):
deep breath.
Tomorrow some will come up,there will be a new day, do
better or maybe even change thepast or past mistakes.
So a lot of people are lost inanxiety and worries and I
understand, I'm very empatheticto that.
But also, you cannot reallychange what happened.
(24:14):
If you have anxiety or if youjust close up in that anxiety,
you will have no effect on yourfuture.
People should realize that it'sa a lot of things which are we
say in our civilized countriesor in our flashy homes that we
(24:38):
say that I cannot live withoutthis ice cream.
We say these very, very bogusthings out.
Sometimes People live withoutway more and they are still
happy.
In Tanzania, my son turned tome one day and said to me like
Daddy, these people have nothing, really, really low down houses
to a European eye.
(24:59):
They have no money to go abroadto visit another country, but
still they are happier than thepeople in Europe.
And I said they just realizedwhat's wrong with the world,
that in our culture in back here, when we have something we want
more, we never stop that.
We are okay now.
We are grateful for what we.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Statistics show that we are the most wealthy people
ever lived.
We live longer than ever, andyet it's the most dissatisfied
generations that we're raising.
It just doesn't make any sense,doesn't?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
It makes me sad but also motivates me that we're
raising.
It just doesn't make any sense,doesn't?
It makes me sad but alsomotivates me that we need to do
better.
We need to share the message.
You know, it's all right if youjust have life for one day,
it's all right to live withoutthree supercars, it's enough.
It's all right to travel andyou stretch yourself for the
best hotel where this movie wasshot and everything, just to
(25:54):
have that one post.
You stretch yourselffinancially.
Why do you do that?
Why don't you just enjoy, finda good spot which is in your
cost bracket and book that andyou're going to be happier.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
And to show off for people that I don't actually
like.
That's the crazy part, Okay.
So thank you very much forplaying along.
That was easy enough, took alittle longer.
Now I'd like to ask you oursignature question, our Green
Pool moment question.
If you took the Green Pool togo back in time and change one
thing about your journey, whatwould it be?
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I would skip the corporate park.
I wouldn't skip the wars.
It gave me a lot of knowledgeand skills in terms of decision
making, in terms of seeingthrough things quickly and
making the connection betweenthings and putting them in
context.
So I wouldn't skip that.
I would skip the corporate part.
Start earlier.
I think that's what I do.
(26:47):
I don't regret anything in mylife.
I don't regret the corporatepart, of course.
But if I could do one thingagain, then I would skip that
part.
Start with.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Yeah, not waste your time on that part.
Yes, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
What a story.
What a life you've had.
You've accomplished a lot.
You are making a difference inthe world.
You are making it so thatnormal, everyday people can be
part of this journey and knowthat they are making a
difference, what they have.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Thank you for saying that I'm also everyday people.
I'm just one human being andI'm a living proof that one
human being can do a lot, andthat's a good example to set.
