From burnout to balance — this week’s Being Human episode is a story of success, collapse, and rebuilding from the ground up.
Joel and Luke sit down with Andy McCarthy, founder of Gippsland Solar and author of Here Comes the Sun, to explore the toll of chasing perfection and the power of vulnerability in leadership. Andy shares how he went from being labelled “the face of the energy transition” to collapsing from exhaustion on a hotel floor in Barcelona — and how that moment became the turning point for his life, family, and purpose.
This is a raw and deeply human conversation about pressure,identity, and redefining success — not by what you achieve, but by how you live.
