Most skyscrapers have sky-high carbon footprints due mostly to inefficient methods of heating and cooling. Today’s guest, Joselyn Lai is the co-founder and CEO of Bedrock Energy, a company that works with buildings to install geothermal systems. They have developed a system to drill the exact amount of boreholes at the precise depth needed to create the most efficient system per building.

How the company has built up a customer base of urban builders
Why it's easy to fundraise when the technology has been proven to be so effective
Creating clean energy jobs for people who work in oil and gas
