Introducing The Unshaakeables: Bootstrapping Clean Energy with Vessyll

Hi Stuff to Blow Your Mind Listeners, we wanted to share an episode from the The Unshakebales we think you'll like. A few years ago, Zahra Hargens-Illiff discovered batteries light her up. She built her own battery prototype in her garage and hit the VC circuit. But after a series of disappointing rejections, she took matters into her own hands and bootstrapped her first few products. A decision that took a lot of courage but one that is paying off. Join Ben Walter and Kathleen Griffith as they chat with Zahra about a clean energy future. Discover what it takes to actually build a battery prototype and hear about the grant that almost launched her company (but ended up costing her $17,000). Zahra also has one of the best entrepreneurial coping mechanisms Ben has ever heard. These are The Unshakeables. Listen and Subscribe to The Unshakeables wherever you get podcasts.

Joe and Rob always do an amazing job discussing a wide array of topics from a scientific perspective. They also discuss hidden cinematic gems once a week in their Weirdhouse Cinema episodes. Joe and Rob’s easy banter and interesting angles make every episode worthwhile. I highly recommend this podcast. It will make you a much bigger hit at parties.
