Some advice from George:

"First, I'm so glad I took this route because it really allowed me to reach my Ikigai. You know, I'm doing what I love, what I'm good at. I think pushing the energy transition is something that the world needs. And I can also profit from it financially in a way that was never possibly in a corporate environment."

"I think that the one thing I overestimated, and I wouldn't do that again, Is how much a company depends on its previous owner. So when, when I bought this company, I thought I would never be able to absorb everything and the company would depend on the owners forever. I don't think that's the case anymore. If you have a proper process in place and hire people, nobody, and also not me is indispensable."
