Scaling Clean

Episode 30: Scott Kubly

In this Scaling Clean podcast, my guest is someone who’s been an advisor to three Seattle-area companies, a policy lead for the e-mobility leader Lime, and an official in four municipal transportation departments. He's also the CEO of an innovative camper van sharing company, Cabana.

On a recent episode of This Week in Cleantech, I nominated Scott Kubly for “Cleantecher of the Week” because he courageously authored an open-kimono post on LinkedIn about Cabana’s ending.

Here’s the thing about cleantech: it’s hard. We’re disrupting powerful, mature, incumbent sectors — and they’re not just sitting around waiting for us to put them out of business. On top of that, we face all the usual challenges of launching companies in any new industrial sector.

Everyone is going to have failures. We’re going to lose jobs, accounts, and companies. I’ve learned that there are more lessons for improvement in failure than in success. Scott continues to show that same courage and openness by agreeing to be our guest on Scaling Clean.
