The Curious Learners
I feel privileged to speak to so many great minds as part of my job. They are passionate builders, insightful investors, laser-focused leaders. They are all curious learners in their own way. It is their urge to learn more. That urge is curiosity. When I speak to these people, I hear fascinating ideas, solid business plans, genius growth hacking practices, relentless team building focus, unique investing strategies and many others. However, most of the time, key insights, business intelligence and inspiring stories shared in these conversations do not make their way to the outside world. The Curious Learners is an attempt to share the stories of those curious learners with those, who might find the inspiration that they were looking for or those who might get the encouragement for their own journey that they already started. Looking forward to a long journey together.

Infrastructure at the Heart: Why the Energy Transition Is a Delivery and Business Model Challenge. Not Tech. | The Curious Learners Ep. 46
🎧 New Podcast Episode: Infrastructure at the Heart — Why the Energy Transition Is a Delivery and Business Model Challenge
We often hear that clean technologies like solar, wind, and batteries are the key to decarbonisation. But the real challenge isn’t about technological breakthroughs. It’s about delivery, getting projects permitted, financed, built, and connected to systems that weren’t designed for this kind of transformation.
In this episode of The Curious Learners, I explore why infrastructure, not innovation, is the critical bottleneck in the energy transition. Narrated by my AI co-hosts, the episode unpacks:
- Why execution risk is now the dominant risk for investors
- How policy, permitting, and market design are stalling progress
- Why business model innovation matters more than hardware breakthroughs
- What’s missing in how we evaluate and scale climate-tech infrastructure
Backed by insights from the World Economic Forum, McKinsey, Allianz Capital Partners, and CDPQ, this is a systems-level look at where the real work lies in the net-zero journey.
🎙️ Listen in and share your thoughts — is it tech that’s holding us back, or something deeper?
