Why is space on the agenda again? Economics and opportunity.

The renewed space race is increasingly driven by private companies rather than solely by government efforts, with firms like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Rocket Lab leading the charge. These companies are transforming the economics of space exploration through innovation, making space more accessible and financially viable.

We delve into what has changed in the space race, the tech that is enabling it, the economic opportunity beyond our atmosphere and some surprising developments along the journey!

Learn the story of a young 21 year old starting a business straight out of university, growing and scaling it over a 10 year journey, to most recently being acquired by the business he aspired to when he started it all.

Hursh Dodhia-Shah was the Founder and Director of Aligned Agency, a digital agency based out of Perth, WA, servicing clients around Australia and the globe. They work right across the digital marketing value chain - building websites and online presence, doing google/facebook ads and search engine optimization right through to rebrands and business strategy and growth consulting.

Over the last 10 years since the journey began, Hursh has worked directly with 100’s of businesses across sales, digital marketing, strategy, customer experience and retention. Before building out his 13 strong team, Hursh managed every digital marketing campaign and website project himself and developed 1000’s of hours of digital marketing and high level business experience. 

He’s never had a ‘proper career job’ with his last official “employed role” being a JB Hifi part timer while at uni, and built something special from the ground up.

This will be the third installment in a micro series tackling different parts of the energy transition. We talk about the energy market, electricity generation and transmission at a high level, to hopefully explain how electricity gets to your home and turns on your light, at the flick of a switch

If you’re passionate about sustainability and our journey to lowering emissions, you’ve probably heard about batteries.

In this episode we breakdown the dilemma facing our energy grids worldwide, as we try to move to 100% renewable energy, and why energy storage is critical to fixing the problem.

Between us as co-hosts we have almost a decade of experience in one of the most unstable energy markets in the world. There are so many questions around how we are going to get from where we are, to where we need to be, for a renewable energy future and one that is actually robust. This will be the first installment in a micro series tackling different parts on this transition. We plan to both explain how things work and go through what the future might hold.
