In this episode, we sit down with Tom Weirich, author of We Took the Risk, to explore the stories, setbacks, and opportunities that shape careers in renewable energy. With more than 18 years connecting teams behind 300+ renewable energy transactions, Tom shares why he wrote the book, who it’s for, and how policy, failure, and career pivots play a role in building the clean energy workforce. We also discuss Houston’s role in the energy transition, the importance of equity and access to clean energy, why Tom is increasingly bullish on hydrogen, and how newcomers can break into climate tech, along with insights from his broader work as an energy marketing leader, industry speaker, and advocate for innovation, mentoring, and STEM education.
