Episode 172: Electric Evolution Christmas Special with Liz Allan and Michele Liddle - People, Purpose and the Conversations Behind the Work.

In this special Christmas episode, Liz Allan is joined by someone listeners may have heard mentioned many times but are only now meeting properly, Michele Liddle.

Michele is the Marketing Director of ChargeWise CX and has worked alongside Liz at Full Circle CI for over four years. In this relaxed and honest festive conversation, Liz and Michele reflect on the year that's been, the lessons they’ve learned, and the realities of building meaningful work in the EV charging and sustainability space.

Together, they talk openly about working remotely for years before properly meeting, navigating burnout, rediscovering purpose, and how neurodivergence has shaped the way they work, think and support others. Michele also shares her creative life beyond EVs, from running her own podcast, Shell's Spooky Stories, to paranormal investigation and storytelling.

This episode is less about technology and more about people. It’s a reminder that progress in EV charging, net zero and sustainability comes from empathy, curiosity and collaboration, not noise or blame.

Quote of the Episode:
“If you come from a positive place, you can actually solve more problems. Pointing fingers just makes people feel bad, it doesn’t make anything better.”
