In this episode, I will be speaking with James Cornell on his recent venture and how the current climate of covid and the delayed fallout across the construction industry has left him with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of debt. We will look at how he has coped through one of the most difficult times in his life, how he has navigated the real potential threat of liquidation, and how he has reframed his perspectives on opportunities and on business. We will discuss the construction material in question, new for Australia but old for Europe, and how the commercial industry in Australia has not quite adopted the transition to this material. I wanted to have this chat with James as one of the primal mandates of this podcast is to have real and vulnerable discussions that can both help and reframe others’ perspectives of adversity and navigate through adversity.

This material in question is a wood fiber-based insulation made from repurposed wood chips. Nearly 100 years old technology in Europe. It's a nontoxic and carbon-negative production cycle that keeps buildings cool in summer and warm in winter saves money on people's energy bills and can remove/reduce the risks of mold and condensation in buildings. A truly renewable and sustainable material.
